Gimme a few hours...I'll try my best to post some pics and a little review. Thanks! Rick

The eyes looked kinda derp in the pics they used, but it still evokes crazy silly.
Surely yours are as good as the ones in the pic right?

Hi everyone, hadn't seen these posted here so thought I'd pass them along.

Particularly weird Classic Collection KOs, found by rambleroom on tumblr.

the packages themselves are pretty darn awesome though! I wish the real ones had the actual retro art like that.

Wow, hahahaha! Chest light & all!

Found these at one of my favourite local toy store.

I wasnt around during the 2007 TMNT era so i have zero knowledge on them. Can anyone tell me if these are real or fake?

Who is this guy anyway? $6

Are these real or fake? i have no idea... $9

Fake Nick Turtles $12.10
How do i know they're fake? Raph doesn't have that crack on his shell.

Movie Star Bootlegs.... I'm soooo mad, cos i bought from aliexpress for $18.80 which has yet to arrive still, meanwhile these are sold for $14.50 each

Close up, to show u the sloppy paintjob (leo's arm)

I couldn't resist, so i bought a second set of the movie star turtles.

Carded storage shells for $242.50

Bootleg movie star with my tiny OT collection

way too many accessories so in goes the bag

Overall impression, i loved the bootleg movie stars.... hard to find good raph and mike, so i picked up a good leo and don... i hope my order from aliexpress will have a good raph and mike. I really love these guys, they look very good. There are few problems though, you already know about the paint apps so.... another thing that bothers me is their weapons are wayyy too soft... almost like gummy bear candy soft..... which explain why they all look so warped in most pics. Also, they smell but not too strong. And again, another problem with raph and mike is, the holes on their belts is wayyy too small so i think it is impossible for you to store their weapons there. But overall for the price, i love it. Captures the movie star turtles' expression perfectly.

Spidergreg · 05-03-2014, 04:50 AM

Seriously, are these real or fake?

Please help me make an educated guess instead of just quickly dismissing it as bootlegs just because of the price or my location.

If i touch the front shell, i can feel the soft plastic shell covering over a hole... if u know what i mean, are yours this way too? Bottom of feet says 2006, mirage studios, playmates toys, made in china.

*Powder* · 05-03-2014, 05:27 AM

Those are definitely real!

Powder's right, they are legit. Raph is on the left, and don is on the right.

Spidergreg · 05-03-2014, 09:06 AM

Mike has that crazy derpy eyes right?

*Powder* · 05-03-2014, 12:40 PM

Not sarcasm. I can just tell by looking at them. & the fact they have the weird soft shell over a hollow stomach confirms it. It's Donnie on right, & yeah, Mikey sorta looks like he's on meth.

Yeah, those 2007 look like they are the official ones, if they are bootlegs they are as close to the official ones as the NECA ones do. You can compare them yourself on the photo I have in a thread in these forums, link is in my sig. And what are you wating for to buy some sets of the movie star bootlegs and start selling them on eBay? I'll buy a set if you're willing to ship them to Portugal

Oh and BTW, I keep my collection in the exact same display as you, ikea rules

Spidergreg · 05-03-2014, 09:06 PM

Thanks for the confirmation guys

Bootlegs would not have any kind of manufacturer or copywright information on them, since they are blatantly violating said copyrwright.

My NECA bootlegs have the same copyright information on the bottom of their feet just like my official ones do, and yes, I'm sure they are bootlegs.

I found these figures on TinyDeal.com:

http://www.tinydeal.com/index.php?ma...at_change=true

I ordered the TMNT movie figures and the ones that looked like those alien hunter figures. Free shipping, woohoo! I passed on those classic collection figures.

Phelous · 05-12-2014, 11:28 AM

I got a couple of those 2007 turtles from China and I think they might be bootleg. There is definitely something odd about them.

I've seen several sets from China with this same weapon set and I seen once again they came with that golden dagger with your's, Spidergreg.

The big thing that stands out is the belts. I got a legit Mikey to right to compare. They are slightly darker and longer in the front.

And they don't have any weapon holders. Just a generic belt.

They don't unfasten like the real belts and look to be completely glued around the turtle's waist.

The numbering on the feet seem inconsistent too with Raph missing any at all. The real Mikey is on the right again.

If they aren't bootleg maybe they were rejects or something and they made these generic belts to slap on them to sell cheap.
