Because I'm a masochist, I bought the bootleg SHF Charizard.
Bootleg on the left, legit on the right.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised; it's fun as heck and the only glaring issue mine has is that it has a misaligned jaw.
Because the thing comes in a goddamn 100% identical box to the real one, for future reference:
The bootleg has duller, more burnt hues of orange paint and yellow paint highlights on the knees and wings. The mouth and tongue are also completely different colors than the legit version; burgundy and light bubblegum pink on the bootleg vs.saturated dark red and vivid dark pink on the official release.
The wing joints seem to have been modified, and steel pin joints are visible on the bootleg.
The bootleg is also made of a completely different from the official release, which feels like a very dense rubber. Each of the cups between the tail segments are now flexible soft rubber.
