I'm not talking about things like pic related. There's some really good bootlegs out there. Sure the finer details aren't as good like paint being imperfect, but they're still serviceable. All I ever thought of when I'd hear bootleg or KO was it being an absolute garbage product. I don't know when decent ones started popping up, but has it been going on for a while?
To try and keep this from devolving into an argument about arguing over poorfags I just find them interesting for one. The KO's I've seen are a tiny bit smaller at times but otherwise basically just a recreation of the official ones. To do that at a fraction of the cost, 20 vs 100+, makes me wonder how much these companies could actually charge for these things and still make a pretty penny. Also if you have an official figure and a piece breaks you can grab the KO for cheap and just replace it. And hell if someone is a poorfag then it's cool they have options to have a hobby too.
Off the top of my head figures that have serviceable to great KO's are:
Polyiana Iana
Mafex Spider-Man/Black suit/Venom
ML Juggernaut
Diabolical Fit DB figures though they're normal SHF prices. I guess they'd be considered third party?
