I got a set of the bootleg movie stars for 13.00 shipped and they got here in about 5 days. Earlier this week I gave them a repaint and put them up next to my ooze canister while my real set is moc on the wall.

^^ Leo looks quite good, but the white spots on the rest of the figures are quite unfitting IMHO

Are you allowed to say where you purchased them from?

bretttheleofan · 07-10-2014, 03:13 PM

Upon looking at the pic a bit more, I just noticed that they have the colors all wrong!! According to this picture, Donnie has chucks, Leo has a bo, and Mikey has katannas! Raph is the only one they got right!!

These will be mine!! It is funny how they have the movie logo/symbol on their backs!!

I picked up a set on ebay yesterday. Can't wait to see these little guys in person. I'll post pics once they arrive.
If anyone can provide insight as to what they actually are I'd love to know. Are they new sculpts made unofficially or are they bootlegs of an official product that was previously released?

I think it's odd that shortly after we got the movie bootlegs which consisted of the 4 turtles, Splinter, and a Foot soldier we now have the same 6 characters with these bootlegs. Wish they had a Shredder with these little guys!!

Yesterday the mousers from sinodolls arrived!

They're perfect!

Is that Classics Raphael of yours a bootleg? It's weird how different the green on the torso is versus the rest of the body.

Definitely a new scuplt. Bootlegger's take on TMNT, if u will.
'cos correct me if i am wrong, only in the 80s cartoon series did the turtles ever had their elbows and knee pads match the color of their bandanas. And they have their initials on their belts, but these don't. So i don't know which incarnation of the turtles these are. Someone didn't pay attention while making these.

Spidergreg · 07-11-2014, 08:57 PM

I'd lmao if those were not poseable and the weapons are permanently attached to the wrong turtle LMAO !

Looks real to me. Always hard to tell fake from color alone 'cos of lighting.

No, it's not a bootleg

Rukitron · 07-12-2014, 10:01 AM

Wait $13 where'd you get it from? And they came like they bathed in oatmeal?

I answered that earlier above... they came from an ebay auction from a chinese seller. No that was a custom paint job that I then repainted

rickwj324 · 07-14-2014, 09:37 AM

I spotted this new crop of NECA bootlegs (courtesy of aliexpress). All 4 turtles for $15 shipped! These are new bootlegs with less articulation, poorer paint apps, cheaper weapons, and changes in sculpting (check out the belt buckles! haha). Here are some pics:

Looks like they removed most of the articulation and resculpted the belts. Definitely a "poor man's" NECA figure for sure. Still, I will probably pick up a set or two since I do like to collect these things!!

Haha...good catch. I didn't even notice that.

I'll probably order a couple of sets asap. Will post pics/details when I do.

*Powder* · 07-14-2014, 06:04 PM

Dude, I actually want those. They remind me of the old Playmates art! If you could PM me a link, I'd appreciate it!

At $3.75 a figure I will be picking up a couple sets for sure!! will probably have to do a little custom painting on them.

Depending on how durable they are I may give a set to my 5 year old to play with as well. That's where my derpy-eyed Classics Collection bootlegs went and he couldn't be happier with them!!

Here's a link to a set for $15.20 with free shipping:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-...949756151.html
There are others selling them, so you may find a better deal with a different seller on that site.

Powder... here's a different post that you might be interested in:

And yes, they do kind of have that "old Playmates art" charm to them!!
