The Official Bootleg thread

I agree I have no interest in buying bootlegs for anything in production. For example, current Nick TMNT toys from Playmates and/or the LEGO stuff.

However, NECA is different, they are long out of production and getting authentic ones is very expensive. The bootlegs give you 95% the same thing at a small fraction of the price.

Bootlegs do have value, but when I see bootlegs of figures that are easy to find on shelves it does kinda irritate me

HOWEVER, I applaud people who go through the trouble to buy some and review/compare them to the official versions, because it's fun and interesting to see just how close the bootlegs sometimes get.
