To each his own I guess... I personally think they are a great deal. I've got them in hand and think they are pretty nice bootlegs. Of course the paint apps need some tweaking. Heck, I've seen actual production figures from many toylines that have weird paint apps, especially with the eyes.

Are these perfect? Heck no! Are they worth the price? Every penny!! Bootleg figures aren't for everyone and normally I'd say not to support them. But these are a great way of getting the movie figures from long ago without having to spend an arm and a leg for the originals on ebay. These are especially a good deal for those that customize or like to paint figures (which I am one of).
