Those are great! The Fighting Gear Turtles have orange necks... Don't you know they use those red lights to hypnotize people into buying those things. Look at it, it's so shiny.... I want them! |

* Which is silly, IMO - the Marvel Legends have the same price, while oher ToyBiz figures are even cheaper, in the 12 $ range... I guess the importers are trying to cash in on the Turtles' popularity... |

It's like that trick where someone makes you read a card that says I am a very smart smart person or something to that extent, where you don't know the word is there twice unless you are careful. I will say the TMNT play cards are the pick of the litter. Especially the one with original comic book design.

Another update!
Can someone tell me if this particular bootleg is based on an existing original figure? Thank you! |

That's a really cool bootleg Leo figure. So how are these guys doing this? Are they stealing the molds from the Playmates Toys factory and messing with them?

These are fun to look at, but I would never buy any bootles for several reasons.

Another thing about the bootleg figures is that nobody knows if the paint on them is safe. I assume the official figures have safe paint, but when it comes to bootlegs it wouldn't suprise me if they had lead paint.

I wouldn't be overly concerned about such things. Even though bootleg toys have a much smaller production run than the original, they are still producing runs numbering at least in the thousands. Factor in the need to be able to produce all of the packaging and shipping cases and it is a pretty safe bet that these bootlegs are being produced in the same factories that produce regular mass market toys. They aren't being cooked up in some guys basement or garage. And they are probably using the same materials. Just take what ever left overs they may have and use them for the cheap knock offs where quality won't be as big of an issue. |
