Now I know in TMNT 3, everyone will have an Arc Reactor! Just what everyone wanted!

Edit: The right arm on Donatello in the second pic looks better than the official one in my opinon. It doesn't have an unpainted green strap.

That's just promo photos. If you bought these they'd probably have little paint and fall apart.

Correct you are.

If it's unlicensed, it's a bootleg, period.

I did some videos on the knock off electronic Frogs/Toads. Ninja Hero Rider, Terror Toad and Ninja Frog. They seem like they probably came from the same people but of course it's a bit hard to tell for sure.

But its such a fine product made by an official company, can we at least call it an unofficial product rather than nasty bootleg?

A bootleg is what it is. It doesn't mean there has to be a negative implication. There are high quality bootlegs out there, and then there are the ones that are just bad.

Bootleg simply implies the nature of the product's legal standing. It's not licensed, and it's clearly Krang, so it's a bootleg. A 'cleverly named to avoid infringement claims' bootleg.

Those are old as hell, and they're actually the second version of them, the first one is so much better.

The twist is that they're the same bootlegs but the head sculpts are on the wrong characters.

The second set of them where always like that, right? At least I always saw them like that.

Hey, I don't know if any of you have come across the bootleg version of the loyal subjects figures. I like a lot those "vinyls" (although I consider them more like mini action figures). Sadly, they are not not distributed here in Mexico (I would rather have them here everywhere instead of the Funko figures, which I find kind of pointless). The only way I could get them would be by purchasing the case of 16 blind boxes, which is around 200 USD, and considering that my currency is getting weaker every second, the cost (plus international shipping) would end up being kind of outrageous.. or by getting the figures individually, but that would also be expensive, since an individual figure commonly goes for more than the blind box. So, I found this in Ali Express... what do you think? The cost was around 12 USD for the set of the 4 turtles (free shipping!), which is extremely cheap. The quality is very good, both in the plastic used, paint application and even the accessories. They came in plastic bags, but I don't mind that.
