Should I use bootlegs?

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey guys, is their any differences of a bootleg marvel legend, compared to an authentic marvel legend? Im just wondering if it is the norm for customizers to just buy bootlegs since they are exact same, but only cheaper? I've seen a few bootlegs on ebay, like a ML S6 Deadpool for around 20 dollars. I don't know if their are any differences between them, but by just observing them, the look exactly like the authentic ones. So should I use bootleg marvel legends as a base body from now on? Thanks!

The S6 Deadpools I've picked up are practically identical to the originals, they bring the Alt head and taco and are only missing that crappy rifle and the missile laucher he brings.

The bootlegs are sometimes just factory rejects, so they have 2 left arms, or a cracked part, etc.

The bootlegs have slightly different sculpts sometimes.

Sometimes theyre made with crappy plastic, like wrestling bootlegs.

I can attest to what the good Dr. has said, I've picked up a few ML "bootlegs" from from various Asian sellers on eBay and the usual issues I've run into are harder plastic used for some parts (which soften when heated). Sculpt and paint details, especially faces, can be kind of off, but this can normally be addressed with a repaint. Sometimes you can get loose joints, I've had some figures arrive with loose upper leg/hip joints, but those can be fixed, though it might be necessary to crack open the lower torso to correct.
