Fake 1000 Toys Halo Infinite Master Chief - Review

[@jakea75]

I’m started to just get bootlegs. The real “ authentic “ figures are soooo ridiculously overpriced. What people pay for some of these on the aftermarket are absolutely ridiculous. I’m gonna buy this and a few other bootlegs and give them a shot

[@jakea75]

I bought this and it’s absolutely amazing. Totally blown away by the quality and the articulation is amazing. What a steal. Looks identical to the 150$ overpriced one.

[@thedaltoid0266]

Now I want one.

[@Pack52022]

May I ask where do I find this and how? I can't seem to find it on eBay

[@jobi-wankenobi2244]

Funny you say, GameStop is having a huge figure sale, got the official 1000 Toys Master Chief Half HALF off, paid 30 bucks for him, and trust me its the real version, but cool to see that the bootleg is almost similar.

[@CommanderLexaa]

@@jobi-wankenobi2244 I moved to europe and it sucks cus of the import prices they never lower things that much. Between that and insane scalpers its hard not to be interested in bootlegs tbh

[@ArchOfWinter]

There is a theory that some cheap "knockoffs" are actually factory rejects, made with factory reject parts, or over production on purpose to sell without the higher ups finding out. Cases where workers of the authorized factory making more money on the side.

[@DemarcationMedia]

The overall finish is for sure lower quality than the real one, but I'm curious now to see how they look side by side. Might have to pick one up for comparison.

[@allthingshalo9388]

I'd love to see you do a comparison!

[@derconic1581]

Dude Thank you Sooo Much, I had just ordered one from AliExpress and I didn’t know what to expect but now I know, I’m actually looking forward to it now

[@allthingshalo9388]

No worries, mate. Just remember that the QC is low and each figure may vary. It did indeed shock me too, not bad for $25!

[@AWACS_Eagle_Eye]

I got one of these, and the seller included a handwritten thank you letter for buying the figure, as well as a few free stickers.

[@baseddetector2958]

The review I was waiting for! Good one

[@allthingshalo9388]

No worries, brother!

[@jereythegundamluna4539]

As a person who got both the official and bootleg one, I must say, 150$ for the official isn’t so bad to me after getting the bootleg. Imma point out my comparisons abt it 1. The plastic quality on the official is far superior than of the bootleg (obviously) 2. The waist joint on MY bootleg only has a single joint. Like the grey abdomen part is one solid piece, while on the official it has two separate joints that let the ab crunch be more flexible 3. The tone of green seems lighter tone on the bootleg than the official 4. Weapons have really odd seams that are everywhere 5. Pelvis joints on the bootleg are more spaced out than the official That’s abt it for me, the only reason I got the bootleg was for the right hand of my official one cause it got loose and messed up. But yeah I’d still save up and get the official one than having to buy the bootleg lol

[@kuvjason7236]

Is it obvious for the average person that they can tell the difference b/w the boot vs the official?

[@Fever_Ghoul]

I would say the original isn’t worth $150 if the right hand got loose and messed up and you had to buy the bootleg to replace the hand. For $150 you shouldn’t be dealing with pieces breaking. Whereas if you pay $25 for a bootleg that looks 95% similar with slightly less articulation and the right hand breaks it’s really not that big of a deal.

Ughh i really want the original one..but the price tag is insane

Great review mate, tempted to get the knock off one myself! I know Sugo Toys (based in Sydney) has got the official one for $300 which is still a bit pricey but better than nothing

[@allthingshalo9388]

You get what you pay for. Buy this is good to display and never touch, haha! It's worth it for sure!

[@vendetta_.]

​@@allthingshalo9388 yeah but for someone that's $300 in their currency is ₱16,747 A bootleg is very much good enough, especially for my wallet

Pretty surprise to so much loose, it's probably good alternative for on people spend on budget. Also it's doesn't look like different with original with price take $100+

[@Primal2229]

Damn, if I didnt have two of the Jazwares ones already id absolutely go for the KO. More or less same price, likely same quality as well, but the KO has better articulation. Bicep swivel, the legs are sculpted to actually move outwards, the single jointed knee looks better than the double. Lastly and stupidly one of the best is the double ball jointed torso can actually move... its not shaped and keyed into place to be rigid.

[@allthingshalo9388]

Honestly, I'd give it a go and buy one anyway. It still shocks me, haha.

[@KamachoMan09]

Jazwares ones are better in my opinion, very durable but also very stiff but that could be a good thing for durability. I also like the gold paint on the visor with Jazwares, more realistic than the 1000toys or K.O. version of it.

[@-slice-6103]

@@KamachoMan09I have both. Jazwares isn’t as good. The only thing that jazwares did better is the chrome on the visor. 1000toys has a better shade of green where jazwares is just too bright. The jazwares also has inferior articulation and atrocious pins

[@nemesisprime4128]

This knock off is good for me to give a custom paint job like painting it to look like Agent Washington. I wish someone would just knock off the CE Master Chief 1000toys figure

[@doomguy2020]

I wish someone would just sell the weapons, I'm happy with my Jazwares versions of Chief himself lol

[@SickestToyz]

I think I just bought a fake on eBay. Mine is missing the numerical decal on the chest 🤦🏻‍♂️ I should have paid more attention to

[@allthingshalo9388]

Honestly, its not the worst figure in the world. Sad about the decal

[@jtek2259]

Big question! Do the little panels on the back come off? I lost one of the ones on mine and I want to replace it.

Hey I have a question, so on the website when your in the order, there was a button the said confirm receipt so I pressed it,then it said order complete like as in it arrived or whatever,and it hasn’t even gotten here yet so I just wanted to make sure that my order would still be coming if you know anything about that

I'd definitely advise to be careful! It's a good display piece. Not a good play piece. You get what you pay for. Thanks for commenting!

[@JJO117]

The Quality is Comparable to the Jazware Halo Toys. I have the mantis and its very Poorly made as ont the legs on the mantis is not straight this seems better than the same scale Masterchief.

[@Phongphammmmm]

Ok i have returned , i ordered 1 7 days ago, just got it and i have to say i somewhat like and am dissapointed at the same time. First for what is consider a knockoff, its really is a good figure, like probally 60-70%. The weapons and hands are good. I got it for 22$ and the body joints are quite hard. The thing is, im noticing the part of the lower body and the waist have a huge gap between them, like they didnt finish or cut too short. 2nd is that im not seeing any holder for the weapons on Chiefs back. 3rd is the head. No other knockoff figure have i seen that has this weak of a head, i just rotate his head for less than 180 and the joint breaks. Its like the head joints is made of weak plastic rather than the one on jazwares or maybe K.O mafex figures. I have glued the head back in but probally not able to turn the head more than 45°. Oh yeah and the 117 is painted on the wrong place Edit : i also forgot, the left leg is longer than the right * Overally the QC is all over the place. id still recommend getting this figure BUT ONLY for display and only get it for

[@allthingshalo9388]

Ah, dang! I knew that the QC would have been bad. Based on what you have said it sounds like you may have a not so good figure. I'd definitely just leave it as a display piece until you get yourself a real one! Thanks for the comment, man!

[@Phongphammmmm]

@@allthingshalo9388 thanks for the review man, w/o you i would not have even know there was a fake. I was thinking about taking another chance with another KO chief figure since the unbalance legs mine has. But probally i'll seek modders for this issue, and if lucky, the head issue.

@@allthingshalo9388 Really enjoyed the video! Someone told me elsewhere that bootlegs typically have low quality, toxic smelling plastic.

[@allthingshalo9388]

Hey man, Print quality of the display box. 1000Toys have a good quality box and clearer pictures. Bootleg has a grainy print on the box but also, the price. If it seems too good to be true...then it in fact may be. God Luck :)

Also there's the color difference. The real one is more of a lime green as opposed to the olive green of the bootleg

It's different from the Spartan collection. A different style. Still a beautiful piece but I think it's like playing Russian roulette. If you want one just to display then buy it. Just remember that the QC is low. 😀

fyi I accidentally picked up one of these fake ones cause the dude was selling it cheap. I have the real one vs the fake one so I can give you guys a good comparison. The original one just overall looks far far far sharper. This one I had to double check and cause the paint app and details felt worse than the mcfarlane one. Overall get this if you want to make a custom battle one but get the original if you want a definitive one that looks amazing. This does not compare well.
