Buying Knockoff Toys Off Ali Express

[@Thor13332]

My only problem with ko in collecting is that some sellers lie and advertise as if its the original.

[@frakismaximus3052]

😂😂

[@nonexistenthandle9922]

Yeah cuz everyone will totally buy the item if they list it as a ko. Smart marketing

[@NoName-zm1ks]

Some sellers don’t use the original manufacturers’ names but you look at the figures you know what characters they emulating.

[@robertlaflure6432]

“KO”, just means that it was made in a different Chinese factory, then the original (which was also made in a Chinese factory)😂

[@anthonyplanzo1082]

I've never been disappointed from Ali express. I paid $22 and got the best six shot in my collection. And it's not even close. Also grabbed the samurai grimlock and iron factory Tarn and they are both amazing. The quality blows Hasbro out of the water. Nevermind the price.

[@andycervantes1586]

Can't beat Ali. Picked up a 12 inch Venom with light up eyes and plenty of accessories for 80 buck. Lowest I found it for other places was 160-200.

[@JustinPR612]

KO is getting pretty good. I got a KO megatron and it's amazing. I'm not spending 120-200 for a 50$ figure when the ko is just as good for 30$

I hear you Uncle,I'm with you!!!

[@travismcdowell8352]

I got a nice King Piccolo statue from Ali Express.

[@m.i.luminis]

Some of the knock offs are really good. I got some because they were oversized or because I couldn’t get the original here. Baiwei does some good stuff. Weijiang and Black Mamba was really good too.

[@jeffreyjones2318]

We are in a golden age of kos

[@supersmallchibiwolf872]

I'm not into knockoffs or fakes. But If other people love It I say have fun. As long as someone knows It's fake and not being sold a fake and being told It's real I think It's good. But I do see many people try to sell fakes as real and that's awful. Cool video. ^_^

[@dr.decker911]

Some of the giant movie transformers are crazy and unofficial. The neca bootlegs were always decent too

[@cobra4life324]

That's right bro I bought the supreme cobra commander from ali express for 24 bucks and he looks dope

[@commonwealthcommunitywatch6036]

So yea, if everyone buys knockoffs...then the company losses and goes away, then you will whine and complain. Make it make sense.

[@FinkaBernard]

💀💀

[@bryanmarcia4104]

Most people don't buy kos.

[@ZuluD]

🤡

[@bryanmarcia4104]

Love getting decent kos😂

[@tonykhayatofficial]

i baught neca's doc brown from back to the future from ali express and it looks great ! there nothing wrong with it same as original

[@Mmantis]

nah don't buy knockoff same stuff that ruined sneaker game .. 😂

[@bryanmarcia4104]

Toys and kicks aint the same thing bruh. I only buy real shoes but don't have a problem picking up a ko figure

[@Omnivolv]

Bro all I get now is from Ross and Burlington. I can’t go back now when I’m paying 5$ for 30$ figs plus plus plus. Just wait Fomo ain’t worth it

[@ruckus914]

You’re just saying that because you’re too cheap to spend the money on the real toy. The knock offs have had issues for a long time and still do you buy at your own risk and have to deal with the repercussions. And what you’re telling people to do is wrong because there are creators and designers that should be getting paid for their hard work and instead the money goes to Ali express and as a result, creative talent won’t be enriched and you’re gonna end up getting crap your products. how about you just slow down and be more selective

[@joseortega7815]

It's not that serious, bro.

[@ruckus914]

@@joseortega7815 it’s only that serious until it affects you if you had an idea and someone stole it and took money out of your pocket, you wouldn’t be saying that. It’s not that serious to me. I’m just pointing things out and stating facts.

[@bryanmarcia4104]

​@ruckus914 companies don't really see kos as a genuine threat hence why there are so many kos. You making it sound like companies are struggling to sell figures😂😂😂

[@PapaBerto]

@@ruckus914 Kos are generally bought when the original is neither in circulation or it's far beyond the normal price range in the after market. KOs would need to start being on par with the original product in terms of quality for the scenario you pointed out to happen and even then, there's always legal action if it gets to that point. These companies are aware of KOs but they don't do anything because it's not exactly hurting their pockets.

[@ildarzaripov4854]

​@@PapaBerto and he say it like toy designers and etc get some % from every toy that sold, and live on % alone. But in reality they get salary and profits goes to hire-ups pockets lmao

[@SmokeyBones-c8s]

The problem is more people every day don’t want to get off their lazy asses and work so they decide I’m going to be a reseller. Why in the world does merman from turtles of grayskull cost $200 on eBay? A $25 figure that just came out a couple months ago. Why? Cause people are fkn lazy and just plain ignorant. These people have drove the hobby into the ground. Anyone paying these prices are equally to blame.

[@omegashenron8]

Very few people are making a living off of reselling. Most resellers just do it as extra income.

[@bladerj]

this is what ruined cloth myth in my country, figs were around 175 with our stupid taxed, then stores started to put up 220 cos scalpers were doing 240,then they uped to to catch up, and in the end a straight 200 figure was costing on retail 350, fuck that im out. glad i finished the gold saints before this crazy.

[@SmokeyBones-c8s]

@@bladerj seriously it’s bullshit!

[@SmokeyBones-c8s]

@@omegashenron8 this couldn’t be further from the truth. Have you watched KZbin lately? 😂

[@omegashenron8]

​@@SmokeyBones-c8sIt's not because the people you see on KZbin reselling for a living aren't the majority. They are the minority.
