Yeah that looks like my Leo. He had the cross-strap type belt just like that one as well. Interesting! Thanks!

lol, I've seen a few bootlegs on eBay.
I can't find it now, but there was one listing for some 2" figures just called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with the description "found these cleaning up"

They were frogs holding scimitars. Kinda funny, didn't even have shells. Gotta love bootleggers

Did any of you ever feel down and only a big smile from that special someone would make you feel better? Do you like the movie Turtles but think they look to gloomy? The good people of Chinese bootlegers have your back with this wonderfull (scary) happy turtles to brighten up your day.
Spoiler:


Look them up on an eBay storefront next to you.

I think they should stick to bootlegging minus the creativity

For people that recently bought NECA bootlegs: I have two questions:
1. How bad is the black paint rub some have noted?
2. Are the feet fine? Some people on the old bootleg NECA thread complained about the feet.

I havn't handled my neca bootlegs too much so I can't comment on the paint rub.
As for the feet... i have noticed that the figures (can't remember if all of em) don't stand perfectly flat footed. But personaly i don't think it's very noticeable.

Here's some pics of my Nick TMNT bootlegs. I got the carded version as well which are all named "Includes Ninja Arsenac".





















In addition to them all using Donatello's torso I noticed they all use Leo's limbs, though Donatello was a little special as he used Leo's left knee pad on both his legs.
Also the belt on one of my bootleg Michelangelos was flipped upside down.
And of course the fell apart all over the place, very Ninja Arsenac indeed.

Here's the link to the Bootleg Zones on them if you're interested.

Nice to hear that! So did I, but IMHO these figures ARE factory rejects. They were sold by the bulk, loose and have no difference with the carded ones which I bought at Walmart.

Dude, have you been living under a rock or something? These are old as hell lol Phelous did a review of them a long time ago.

The first version of these are actually real nice, I have to get them myself, but the newer version that have appear lately around ebay look so bad, especially Donnie, he looks like those glow in the dark figures.

its crazy how nice bootlegs are becoming quality wise. They use to look like to crap, but some of these almost pass for the real thing.

Yeah, I especially like the little details like how Donatello has a fire extinguisher like he used on Tokka and Rahzar in Secret of the Ooze!

I actually have a set of those on the way, Mr. Winters. I finally found some that would ship to my state and at a decent price (when I first started seeing these, the only ones that weren't more than I wanted to pay, wouldn't ship to this state specifically for some reason).

They look to be of decent paint quality. I just can't believe that these things are apparently selling in massive quantities. How long has this been going on?

rickwj324 First reported them back in April, so at least that long. Take caution though, there's apparently 2 versions of these figures:

the first versions looks a lot better, and the weapons look gorgeous


for the second version they changed the turtles colors for worse, and the weapons now don't have the turtles signature colors

The Classics have fallen into the 'bootleg' territory as well:

Although I'm slightly interested to see how these looks
