Are the revoltech bootlegs worth it? Are there any big differences between original revo and fake ones?

I have the Carnage and Spider-Gwen one. They are very much solid figures. Tho the plastic is a bit more bendy than rigid, just a tiny bit. Won't exactly recommend Spider Gwen much since her paint is sloppy, but Carnage is awesome. I'd get an original to use the KO accessories with and make some crazy antics with it.

Planning on trying out the Spider-Man if it's any good. I'm also waiting on a Warmachine KO to use with my original so I can have more dakka.

Spiderman = yeah, but the original is trash so the bootleg is the same thing
Captain America = feels cheap af
Venom = replace the torso joints and is almost the original
Carnage = tricky and also most of carnage bootlegs come with loose joints, but for the price the accessories are worth
Batman= trash like the original
Gambit = trash like the original but cool accesories
Wolverine = tricky like carnage, if you get a good one is almost the original if you get a bad one the claws are worth
Psylocke = more like an accessory pack
Magneto = great
Deathstroke = nah he needs a LOT of work using boiling water sanding joints etc
Spider Gwen = the best one order 2 or 3 if u want to build a perfect one and she's like the original I have the OG and the bootleg and the legends and the Bootleg is the best for the price
also most of them come with nice bases, revos are maybe the best bootlegs, tons of accessories and bases

The only loose joints on my Carnage was his knees. Otherwise, he was pretty tight for me.

He came with some spare double Revo joints that I replaced the knee with and now he's pretty solid.

I'd get the Magneto but I still don't understand how its hips work.

Okay, but how BAD is Deathstroke actually?
I'm starting to consider it to use it as a base for a custom. If I can get replacement joints, I don't even have to worry about the quality, right?
Or are the main sections of the figure, all parts that aren't joints, really badly cast and they are the ones making it shit?

My Deadpool was pretty much perfect with no loose joints but he did have an insanely tight shoulder joint or an insanely weak shoulder ball joint cause whenever I would try to move it it would just instantly split in half. After a few days I could get it to move a bit to get him into poses but it's still pretty tight. Also his sheathed swords that go on his back will not stay on at all, probably gonna need to super glue it on.

The only Revoltech KO I've messed with is Venom, and he's super loosey goosey. I dare say, he's a piece of trash. The shopkeeper told me it's the same with the original though.

So, what I can say is, Revoltech KO Venom is trash. I'm willing to think that the original is good but the shopkeeper told me it's basically the same as the KO.

I bought a carnage bootleg and his torso came with the wrong joint, and that sorta truned me off from buying any more of them, however, apart from that it was a pretty good bootleg, maybe someday Ill buy another bootleg yamaguchi figure

Don't know about the KO, but as for the real thing that shopkeeper might've meant the torso joint can be loose. The torso joint, a classic single revolver joint, doesn't have enough grip at the two pegs to support the upper body weight. So they tend to spin around at the pegs, feeling floppy. Otherwise the real Venom is solid.

That's probably it. So the solution is to somehow get a larger revol-joint and replace the torso joint? Cool.

I wasn't a fan of the huge gaps in the shoulders either. Is that an issue with the original as well?

No the solution for the real thing anyways is to increase friction at the pegs. You can do that in different ways.

Yeah shoulders are like that by design.
