These things are hit or miss.

I am Leary of this. If you check other items for sale, they have Trick Or Treat Studios Gizmo. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought they had their products made in Mexico.

Yea I have a couple too, but between the picture being ripped from another auction and the amazing quality of these guys I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a scam. There is that little shred of me that keeps thumping my fists on the desk though saying "Come on baby! Mamma needs another set!" and hoping it's the real deal. Even if the paint jobs were crap I'd just repaint them for the savings.

Theres bootleg 1/4 Jokers out there so it's very possible one thing if it is an bootleg it will have like only half the articulation so about 9 or 10 points. ****** paint and paper like box if it does come in a box...

At one point you could get a Japanese mini mutants eight pack with several rares for $15 shipped. Our money is worth a lot to them, so it might not be a scam. Just look how cheap you can get bootleg NECA comic book turtles.

Fair point. Although I'm sure there would be some US or Australian members here who would be happy to help out for those looking for the genuine article, and to support NECA, and all of there hoop-jumping, to bring us these. And there are online retailers who are stocking them... is it okay to post links here?

The licensing restrictions do suck though.

Randy tweeted something recently that seemed to indicate a 7" version may be on the horizon, so perhaps that will be more affordable, if not more widely-available, than the 1:4 scale turtles.

Well if the rumor is true they use a Chinese warehouse to get "bootlegs" to anyone is true, I'd say it's fair game to snag a legit bootleg of neca occasionally as well.
