Not difficult to recognize, this is from the Turly Gang, but does anyone have a link to a picture of the packaging? Looks like if it is missing a rotor, but I found only one source (Bootlegzone), and there it is only shown without... Either way, it works!

I had several of these. This all that I can find now.

What do guys think about this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182573698147...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

A couple of sellers from China are offering these on eBay. Are there any confirmed bootlegs from the Leonardo 8-pack?

Not that bad, but why no belt for 90's Movie Star Leo?

The official release doesn't have it neither, in fact that's just official stock image.

EDIT: I have ideia that Playmates claimed they lost the original mold or something like that, was also the reason why no Leo from the Imagi movie as well.

this is ####ing DISGUSTING!!!!

these bootleggers are not only selling counterfeit merch

but they are swiping art and using it without permission.

That's pretty much exactly what they did. The comments of people being confused by the presence of a fifth turtle makes it especially grating.

What's worse is that those pages are a dime a dozen. For every bootleg tshirt site you see, there are 10 more selling the same through various different webpages. They all have that same gallery style presentation of either a shirt or a poster print and they have no qualms about stealing art.
Facebook ignores when you try to report these pages for promoting theft too.

Found this guy at flea market. It was kinda funny cause the lady selling them said she had a lot of good stuff. Anything from the 80s was 5$ and anything from later was 3$. I let her struggle to figure out what to charge me for this when she realized the date was just a blob on his foot haha

it's incredibly frustrating. seeing these goons steal and misuse other people's art just boils my blood.
and it's even more irritating Facebook ignoring reports saying it doesn't violate their guidelines.
they need to change their site name to Wastebook.

it was actually kind of funny how some of them kept chiming in that the fifth turtle was Venus.

It's official. Since TMNT is owned by Viaocm and that's a really pristine figure, of what is very obviously Donatello.

No. That is one of the Kidrobot vinyl mini-figures. Specifically, it's the Ooze Action Donatello
