[For Sale] NECA Black & White 4 pack

KingGrimlock · 06-12-2013, 08:19 AM

Hi all!
Got a set of the NECA Black and Whites for sale but here's the thing; they ain't great. Basically, I bought these off eBay and they turned out to be factory seconds. They are off colour and in some cases have hand painted parts which don't quite fit properly and are loose.
So why am I selling them? Other than the obvious, I just want to try and get some of my money back and I thought that if someone was dedicated they might be able to clean them up well and make a decent set or they may be of use to a customizer.

The set (no outer)

Don

Mike

Leo

Raph

Here's my eBay page were a load of other TMNT bits listed and you can see my feedback.
Will happily ship internationally, use paypal yadda yadda yadda.
Cheers!

could you explain how yours was fake? i recently got a white set too. but he put it in the colored box because he said bla bla bla.

but mine has bendy bandana and front shell.

but im just very nervous mine is fake.
does ur white set have all the fake checks of the colored fakes?

KingGrimlock · 06-13-2013, 07:50 AM

Don't know about the fake checks? These have a few parts which are hand painted from the coloured versions.

Updated with photos. Any details, just ask.

you labeled Don 'Raph' and Raph 'Don' by accident

KingGrimlock · 06-18-2013, 07:44 AM

D'oh! Cheers for the heads up.

Hey man. I got a set of these from ebay too. Shipped from China. Seller also claimed they were real but was missing the box.
Sigh...They are fake. I sent them back to the seller for a full refund.

The easiest give-away is Leo's katanas. The authentic ones have a black tip at the end of the handles. The fake ones are just plain white.

If you pop the hands out, you can see that the joint area is green. You will also notice that there are many dirty brownish yellowish parts. The front shells also tend to be off centred.

KingGrimlock · 06-18-2013, 11:49 AM

Sounds like we got done by a similar guy, cheers for the heads up on them.

Chinese counterfeits have ruined this product...make sure you file the appropriate claims against these sellers so we can get rid of them...FYI no site that I am aware of requires you to ship back counterfeit items. They will not protect these sellers and will refund your money

Argh... Wish I knew about this earlier. I paid quite a bit to ship it back as well. Oh well lesson learnt.

KingGrimlock · 06-19-2013, 07:56 AM

Well, I've got my refund which is good. These are going in the trash I think.

Rat A Tat · 06-19-2013, 08:03 AM

I know there are some people out there who like to utilize the bootlegs to make customs, so I'm sure someone out there would be happy to take them. Better to end up in the hands of someone who will get some joy out of them rather than trash them.

Totally agree. The biggest issue with the bootlegs was the poor paint jobs. Why don't you try custom painting them

KingGrimlock · 06-19-2013, 11:45 AM

I'd love to try customising them myself but time simply wouldn't allow it.

I've had a couple of people PM me wanting them so they've been saved from the recycling it seems!
