Bootleg/Fake Neca Box Set Turtles?

[Sosetsuken]

Hello everyone!

Its common knowledge that there is an abundance of bootleg/fake Neca turtles coming out of China. As the bootleggers probably never got their hands on the moulds for the extra pieces found in the clamshell packaged turtles the fakes always seem to be sold in the tube packaging (without said accessories). My question is whether or not there is/was ever bootlegs/fakes of the box set of four turtles in the long Neca box (both coloured and black and white versions)? I have read that there possibly may have been (but this is usually conjecture) or people had seen some for sale that looked fishy etc. but I have never seen any real proof or pictures from people that had bought them. So do they exist? Obviously anything that was a convention exclusive such as the box sets that contain the extra accessories can be counted out for the same reason as the clamshells but what about the other box sets that contain just the four turtles?

Cheers!
