[@WiGgYof09]

There are various types of bootlegs. Sometimes, these are made using factory molds and workers run the machines after hours using their own materials. Sometimes, these are QC rejects from official batches. The paint is usually a giveaway as it tends to not be as clean. This looks like it may have been a QC reject.

[@WhosMe14]

Oh, well thanks for letting me know! Allegedly.

[@weet6168]

The problem here is the box, it could have been a QC reject like you said but the box clearly isn't original, it's missing the logos and the authenticity stickers around. Maybe that's how they do it but I really don't see manufacturers having to print different boxes for this situation.

[@ikscdmdegi6954]

@@weet6168i don’t think they’d be stupid enough to put it in a real packaging.

[@georgeyreynolds]

​@@weet6168 if I was running the factory I'd sell the QC rejects to my mate who runs a shop down the road. He buys them up and adds his own box. .. simple. Then the factory can claim whatever on their rejects and nobody is any the wiser!

I love comparison video's between boots and the real deal. I used to check a lot of those ehen I was collecting Transformers Masterpiece figures. And from there I enteren the realm of Third Party...but yeah, personally I find comparison videos between boot and official product very helpful. Specially when you want a figure because it looks cool but you don't know anything about the franchise it's from so you don't want to pay the full price for it or your on a budget.

Dude I worked for a Chinese team that made bootleg figures and 3D models, they are very strict with the details. We usually spend a week or a month on just one figure or model. So it makes sense that most of the figures are high quality.

[@fldsmdfr9107]

How do they produce them?

[@EmilyPerez-lb4ct]

Then why it’s it so cheap

[@Matyas_Ceo_Of_Matyas]

@@EmilyPerez-lb4ctcuz its easy to mass produce

[@harune_dot_exe]

They are produced back in China, the materials I have no idea what they use but from experience it ain't that good. They are also cheap because we are paid less, we don't need to pay the owners of the characters to use said characters, the material for sure are cheap, quality control is not the best and the softwarewe used were just cracked version. I can't speak for all the company in China but that is how that specific company operated.

[@AlfredoGomez-kp4cf]

Where were these companies back when I was a kid growing up with bootlegs?

[@jasminesales8519]

id love to be able to use that figure as reference for art products like that drawing mannequin statue, my favorite spongebob character would probably be Spot (Plankton's Amoeba dog)

[@rolfathan]

I keep thinking about buying boots to repaint/customize. I buy the real one, then it's so good that I don't want to ruin it. Or something like your photos with fireworks? I don't want to burn a legit figure. But a bootleg? A lot less stressful to set off fireworks with.

[@spongebobfan78]

The bootleg really seems like a good choice if you want to give a SpongeBob Nendoroid to a younger cousin but you don't want to spend so much for a figure that would most likely be mishandled. 5:30 Reminds me of a creepy/unsettling black and white photo of a SpongeBob costume where it only has small irises as the eyes. It became not creepy when you see the original colored photos and realizes that he actually has scleras (the creepy one has the color blended with the yellow parts) and the irises are the holes for the wearer to see.

[@The_Noble_Visions]

you can fix loose joints with superglue, put some i the joint then keep moving it until dry

[@PuppyHugs]

Someone probably already said this, but another good way to tell if it's a knockoff just by the box is to look for company logos and such on the box. If the licencing stuff is missing then it's definitely not the real one. For example, the logos at the top of the box are missing on the knock off box.

[@htsunmiku]

If you want to collect as a hobby. Bootlegs aren't worth it. legit figures can be resold and may even go up in price (because most legit figures are limited release ). there's an entire community for collecting in general, there will be people willing to buy (depending). But, If you just want a decor piece for your room, and you don't really care about anything else. Then it's your money. Who cares. (I'm saying this as a hatsune miku figure collector. I don't think I've ever sold a figure for less than I brought it, and I have multiple figures that have gone up in price.)

[@ChoobChoob]

Man I ain't never seen such a great bootleg since the "Beats By Dre Studio" I saw in a Mediterranean Seaside town market.

You should check out baiwei dom shockwave figure, its a really good bootleg and may even be better than the original ss figure

Some boots are just so well made! I've seen so many good Dragon Ball Z and Naruto boots that are definitely worth it! Plus, I have no ideia how, but they make some cool figures of characters fans wants that companies don't seem to release officially Awesome! Would love to see a series for this!

[@jasonpatchen1912]

sometimes they are not bootlegg if they release a fig a week after retail chances are its authentic alliexpress is now allowing personal sales because it takes a long time to get copys of the molds to bootlegg them

[@grhtheblahaj4248]

Some Bootleg Nendoroids are good enough to be honest. But not all. Especially if it has intricate details.

[@halfbaked870]

its easy to fix loose joints on KO figures. Nothing to worry about at all

[@aph1dqueen]

theres a surprising amount of Transformers bootlegs that are really good. Baiwei Star Leader is a bootleg of studio series Optimus Prime (i forget which version because theres so many) and its absolutely amazing. i got the Nemesis Prime deco with green flames (theres a Nemesis Prime with purple flames, a standard Optimus Prime and an Ultra Magnus) and i love him. theres also a weapon pack for him if you get that, you get a figure with diecast feet, two different faces, two different chests, 3 guns, 4 swords, a shield, 2 axes, 2 hooks and 2 knuckledusters. all for about the same price as the official ones first release. the plastic is good too, not as good as the official hasbro stuff, but still feels solid

CT Spider-man 2099 and the KO Sentinels Spider-man Noir are some of the best bootlegs I have, they are basically as good as the real one for a fraction of the price.

I’ll take it my favorite character is SpongeBob I just like his personality dude he’s so upbeat and funny

[@cindyk9633]

I have the black suit spider man and it’s a great bootleg

[@thedrifter5531]

when it comes to bootlegs of collectable figures, its genuinely like the only difference is gonna be a slight dip in quality everything else is usually 1-1 but then when it comes to bootlegs of toys you can find in shops thats when it becomes really trash, like to me there are 3 kinds of bootlegs, KO's which are like basically 1-1, knockoff which are where its close but there is a quality difference, then bootleg which is the worst of the worst

[@buzzsawgr81]

I have a couple bootlegs and the ones I got were very not bad. I got the figma berserk guts and the figma bloodborne hunter. the guts figure is near identical to the real one and the hunter has a couple missing minor paint apps.

[@choybo1]

pretty sure the legitimate figures for that brand are made in china. so likely, its made in the same factory and the "bootleg" ones are produced for chinese market and the "legit" ones are for international market

[@NarjaraSMagalhaes]

you should have used the boot as a stunt spongebob

[@KouhaiKamen]

man i would get bootleg but alot of the figures or franchise im interested in are either very niche or doesnt exist

[@weet6168]

Manufacturers should really calm tf down with their prices, I've been collecting since around 2017 and nendoroids (as example) have really stupidly increased, I get the paint job and quality gets better with time but in the end of the day it's still a small displayable figure that you won't even mind about the high quality bc it will stay on shelves and sometimes taken out for photos, but that's really it. It's sad to end up just accepting bootlegs more, it was less acceptable before but now it feels really ridiculous to spend 50 or even 100 on original ones now lol.
