Replaced with Replica	comment	It's one of the laws that govern fiction: if there is an item that the bad guy needs, they're going to get hold of it at some point in the story. Most of the time, this results in the heroes going through hell and high water to get it back, but what about cases where the hero is a bit more clever and has a bit more foresight than the villain? What about making the villain believe he has the mighty MacGuffin when he really doesn't? What about replacing it with something that looks similar, but is a complete dud? Also known as "the old switcheroo" in more lighthearted contexts, Replaced with Replica refers to any time an object is switched out with another that appears very similar (if not identical) to the original, but lacks the original's desired attributes. The replacement might be broken, a joke, useless, or even harmful to its new owner. The key distinction of this trope, however, is that the swap must be done intentionally to fool another character, and involve switching out a physical object. For accidental item switches, see Satchel Switcheroo, Unfortunate Item Swap, and/or Blind Mistake. For switching items in order to fool a scale or other inanimate trap, see Weight and Switch. Keep in mind, this can be done with heroes tricking villains, as discussed in the introduction, but it can also be villains tricking heroes, morally-gray rivals tricking each other, or any other combination, so long as the intention is to fool a person into using an unhelpful replica of the actual, sought-after item. Supertrope to Fakin' MacGuffin, in which the switched object is also the element driving the plot. Inversion of Not-So-Fake Prop Weapon, in which the fake object is swapped out for a real, functional one. When documents are the item being switched out, it's Script Swap. Not to be confused with Kill and Replace, which is about replacing people with duplicates. A common tactic of The Con, and The Trickster, and its many subtropes. It's also Truth in Television, as similar tricks are actually used by spies and stage magicians. See also Prop. Note: As this trope can be used as a plot twist, beware of spoilers!

Replaced with Replica / int_155336a9	comment	Hellblazer: One story has a priest who let a succubus (disguised as a prostitute) loose inside the Vatican then is inspired by an angelic vision to ask John for help. John comes up with a plan requiring the use of a book from the forbidden section, putting a glamour over a Yellow Pages directory so the book isn't missed. Once the demon is defeated, the priest goes to return the book, only to find himself with two Yellow Pages in his hands. We then see the entire thing was John's plan (the prostitute, succubus, and angel were all played by Ellie the demon) to get the book: the lost gospel of Constantine.

One of these items, the Medaglia, is a small coin which Dante swaps out with his own coin in an attempt to ruin the ritual. As a result, Arius fails to attain Argosax's power in time and is easily bested by the devil hunter. A few moments later, a portal still inexplicably opens, forcing Dante to hop in and defeat Argosax.

This leads to a Whodunnit mystery to find out who's copying Chris. It actually turns out to be Antonio Monatti, the twist villain from Season 1's "A Picture's Worth $1000". Who has become a low life artist after failing the deal with Chris and has been copying others work and passing it off as their own to make a living. Needless to say, Antonio gets arrested for his crimes.

Replaced with Replica / int_25d97c04	comment	James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever This saves Bond's life when he's caught in a Death Trap that, for once, he can't get out of. Bond is posing as a diamond smuggler, but once he delivers the diamonds to the next courier he's knocked unconscious and shoved into a coffin to be burned alive in a funeral incinerator. Just when it looks like Bond's goose is cooked, the incinerator is switched off and the coffin opened by the outraged villains who accuse him of delivering 'paste' diamonds to them. The real ones were brought into the country by Q. When he goes to Blofeld's oil rig base, Bond takes along a cassette tape of martial music in the hope of switching it with the computer tape Blofeld uses to control his Kill Sat. He successfully switches them, but while trying to help Bond, Tiffany Case switches them back. Luckily Bond has a Storming the Castle backup plan. In Octopussy, James Bond manages to abscond with a genuine Faberge egg by swapping it with a fake, right in the middle of a Sotheby's auction. The second half of the Action Prologue of The World Is Not Enough gets started with a bang, as Sir Robert King's lapel pin had been switched with a replica containing a radio transmitter; the transmitter activated an ignition device buried inside a briefcase of urea-soaked money (about US$5 million in pound sterling) Bond had just retrieved for him as a request from M, which causes an explosion that kills King and damages MI6 headquarters. The ploy was designed by the film's Big Bad who had access to King's lapel, his own daughter Elektra who had previously been taken hostage by Renard the Anarchist and left to die as King had been advised by M not to pay the $5 million ransom as MI6 sought to draw Renard out for capture. Elektra managed to escape on her own but was left embittered towards her father for abandoning her and M for advising him to do that.

The player character and company are sent to infiltrate a drow noble house that has stolen the eggs of a silver dragon. The swap occurs thusly: first, you're instructed to swap the real eggs before they can be used in a ritual- they're being given to a demon in exchange for power, and being given the fake eggs causes him to kill the house's Matron Mother in retaliation. Once you've replaced the original eggs, you're given a second option to use a second set of fake eggs that you can give to Phaere, who was going to give them to the demon in exchange for the power he was originally going to give her mother. This causes him to kill her as well. At that point, you have the option to either give the eggs to the demon yourself or return them to the silver dragon.

The game gives the player the option of giving her the heart of a regular wyvern instead, which renders the potion she's trying to make completely useless. It turns out to be a case of Video Game Cruelty Potential, because the potion in question is a desperate attempt to save the life of Vivienne's dying lover. It fails no matter what, but how she treats the Inquisitor afterward depends heavily on whether she was given the right item or the useless variant.

He finds a mark to sell the ring to and take it to a jeweller, who of course notes that it's real diamond. When the mark goes to get the money, Moist switches it out for the glass ring. In Making Money, Cosmo pays a lot of money to get his hands on Vetinari's stuff, including clothing. When he wants Vetinari's Sword Cane (supposedly made from the iron contained in the blood of a thousand men), his assistant makes one instead, as Vetinari's cane would not only be difficult to get, but also probably isn't a sword cane at all. He also comissioned a duplicate of Vetinari's signet ring, under the belief his assistant would somehow exchange it for the real thing. His assistent just gave him the duplicate and said he'd done that. The big twist in The Fifth Elephant is that the Scone of Stone seat of the Dwarf Low-King has been switched out with a fake copy and the original destroyed. The even bigger twist is that the dwarf kings have been pulling this switch themselves for centuries and the conspirators in the book only think they have a new scheme.

When he wants Vetinari's Sword Cane (supposedly made from the iron contained in the blood of a thousand men), his assistant makes one instead, as Vetinari's cane would not only be difficult to get, but also probably isn't a sword cane at all. He also comissioned a duplicate of Vetinari's signet ring, under the belief his assistant would somehow exchange it for the real thing. His assistent just gave him the duplicate and said he'd done that.

Except they "were", because they threw the first necklace to the stone floor, where it was undamaged, and ran off with the second. Had they thrown the replica, it would have broken, whereas the diamond one wouldn't. The owner made up the theft to get the insurance money on the necklace.

Rufus Zeno drank it and ran off, thinking he succeeded in becoming immortal. In the second season, Sibuna and the teachers were in a race to find the mask of Anubis, which was believed to be hidden behind a series of puzzles, many of them deadly. In the end, however, the mask found in the tunnels didn't work; the true mask was posing as a fake in an exhibition, and the fake mask was put in the tunnels. At one point, in order to get into the tunnels, Victor found and stole the spare amulet hidden in Nina and Amber's room, replacing it with a carefully made replica. Patricia used this replica amulet when hers got lost and ended up being blinded by the first trap. This replica amulet would later be used to trick the teachers during Alfie's "failed" magic trick, being smashed in place of Victor's real one, which he'd stolen back in the process. When Jasper was tasked with stealing the gem Jerome had spent all season finding for his father, he'd had to replace it with a fake. Mr. Sweet bought it, but Jerome didn't, and this was made worse when Mr. Sweet hired Jasper to examine the gem for them. Of course, Jasper claimed it was real, which only made Jerome more suspicious of him.
