Deftective and bootleg are two totally different things.

Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad to hear the store took it back.

I don't care ya know.It was bootleg cuz the poor dude got ripped off.Look on bootlegactionfigures.com and you'll know what I mean.

Err... when regarding toys when most people hear bootleg they think a knock off, not a broken real toy. So to avoid confusion lets just stick with broken instead of bootleg, mmm'k?

No, cowabunga. A bootleg is an illegal reproduction of an item (ie. a copy of a CD, DVD, or video game) OR an unofficial (and thus illegal) product made without legal permission of any sort and without proper paying or roylaties (ie. some TMNT actioin figures made by some guy down the street from you or by some asian company) usually marketed as either the real thing or as something else when its obvious it isn't. Look around that site you yourself pointed to (bootlegactionfigures.com) and you'll see what I mean.

The Utrom figure in question was NOT a bootleg, as it WAS an official Playmates TMNT figure.

And for another thing, urbandictionary.com is made up of definitions submitted by people with no sort of confirmation or anything, and is thus not a valid resource for the meanings of words. I could submit that "Triceraton" means a hedgehog wearing a ballerina outfit and drinking kool-aid and it'd get put up. Enough said.
