Figures of Action Reviews
Приєднався 27 бер 2006
Here we will be reviewing toys, video games, comics, and other forms of entertainment/hobbies. I will be providing my opinion on each topic presented, and trying my best to be unbiased when presenting reviews.
Bootlegs, Knock Offs, and Replicas Pt2
In this video I review the last two CT Toys figures that arrived later than expected. I initially planned to have them in the first video but they got held up. Since I didn't want to prolong the first video I went did it without the other two figures. Here we have the CT Toys Spiderman 2099 and the CT Toys Wolverine in yellow with blue stripes. #cttoys #mafex #toycollector #actionfigure #spiderman #wolverine #actionfigurecollection #hasbro #marvellegends

Bootlegs, Knock Offs, and Replicas

In this video I go over how I define bootlegs, replicas, and knock-offs. I bought a couple of figures from other toy makers and let me tell you it was a journey. These figures along with a few others I have not filmed yet have helped me make my decision on buying bootlegs and knock-off figures. #cttoys #mafex #revoltech #actionfigures #toycollector #marveltoys #wolverine #toyphotography #valaverse

Bro Sh figuarts are able to break just by looking at them that’s why dragon stars is much better for costum figs
I have bad luck finding battle trap
Hi guys it has come to my attention that I totally mislabeled the CT Toys Spiderman 2099. I called it a Mafex figure when it's actually a SH Figuarts knock-off. Sorry about that mistake. I was so tired after having to do the voice over that it just slipped my mind.
Another rock solid essay brother! I finished a video about the CT tiger stripe wolverine that will post sometime between now and never, who knows. And I think that CT Miguel is a SHF knockoff, but I could be wrong. Either way I prefer the CT Toys version over the Legends because as far as I'm concerned the CT Toys IS an SHF or MAFEX or whatever and it should be better. Slowly but surely we are reeling you in to the darkside!
@thediscountactionfiguredude you are right that was my mistake. That Miguel is SH Figuarts. Those were the last of my bootleg adventures 🤣. I'm wary of bootlegs and premium figures as of now. I don't like imitation figures because although they are cheap they are super risky. Premium figures cost too damn much to be falling a part. So unless I really want something I'm holding off for now. Hey come on man you gotta give us that review don't hold back now.
You have to normalize heating these up before you review them, especially when getting a known knockoff. I let them soak in some hot water before I try anything, especially when removing limbs.
@Collectingisfun24 yea before I end up with a cautionary tale of how not to break your figures. Sad but man the plastic used on figures is really rigid on a lot of the name brand figures.
@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews truth. I could not understand how so many were breaking the "No Way Home" figures.
I fo sho would have gotten that Urkel.
@@Collectingisfun24 i should've gotten and now I'm kicking myself lol
@Figures_of_Action_Reviews this guy...
Thank you. I've been telling folks there is a difference between Knockoffs and bootlegs.
@Collectingisfun24 yea because one definitely has a better quality over the other. And most bootlegs are horrible imitation of the real product.
I’m boughta make a Half Life 1 scientist with that second fella
@@tippetytap9437 i bought 6 Karnak figures at 9.99 plus an additional 40% off. Now I'm about to make my own ninjas. I'm using the GI JOE Snake Eyes Origins Storm Shadow head to complete the figure. I'm going to change the colors and have my ninja army.
I want Metal Hawk
Pretty cool 😊
For me personally, just admiring the appearance, not all bags are worth the money. That being said, I do buy quality fakes/knockoffs at kislux because I wouldn't spend my money on the real thing.
I am still not sold on buying fakes over legit figures. Now there may be some figures like the Revoltech figures that I could see myself buying because I am not a fan of their figures or their hefty price tag. Revoltech figures come in at 150 and more.
The whole KO scene is interesting. There are factory seconds/rejects, there are remolds that are probably true KOs/bootlegs, and then there's whatever CT is doing. Size changes tell me they're using the original design files, downscaled, and made new molds... so yeah, 'replica' works. Their stuff is just a tiny bit jank compared to the MAFEX originals, but they're so damn close.
"Whatever CT is doing" 🤣🤣 is so true because its unclear if they are repackaging rejects or just making remolds. All I know is that so far if that box doesnt have CT on it then its most likely going to be janky and crap.
please do an update if your ct toys venom breaks. can you do a review on damaged mark 1 ultron and revoltech red hood bootleg?
I will definitely let you all know if any of the figures I consider to be good breaks. You better believe there WILL be an update LOL. I will look and see if I can locate a verified CT Toys version of those figures and if I can and they are well priced I will probably buy them. Im not a Revoltech fan because of how they make the figures flat under the arms and legs, but at a cheap price like the Venom figures I could be influenced to buy them LOL
Bro bought the maf venom & then real one from bbts for 100$+ u could have got venom & carnage for the total u spent on that… btw I don’t think the venom bootleg is soo bad.
@NukaLoota ohhhhhh boy it is, and it's the reason I bought the real Mafex Venom. While I was waiting on the other figures to arrive i had the fake venom first took it for a spin and said nah this ain't it. Fun fact that I didn't realize until after the video was made, the fake venom head is jammed tight on the peg so it won't come off. You can't change heads on the fake venom. I'm not convinced bootlegs are the way after going 3 and 3 on these figures 🤣
@ well I wouldn’t know but I think if CT toys made that venom it would be much better in my opinion. But anyway i just wanted to point out that u could of got both original Mafex venom & carnage for about 55$ each if u purchased from amiami which is a legit website, I’d only buy bootlegs if they have gotten good reviews so thanks to you I’ll deff pass on that venom bro😅
@@NukaLoota Happy I could be of some help. I normally dont buy bootlegs because of the high risk LOL. Does Amiami have high international shipping prices? That is the only reason I havent ordered from stores like Amiami.
Let’s be real. The only thing good about the 🥾 that they are replacement fodder parts.
@rickestricky1368 yes they make great replacements if they don't fall apart on you. Honestly if Mafex reissued the brown suit Wolverine I wouldn't buy it. For what, I already got a good replica for a cheaper price. And that's how it is with some 🥾
@ Facts! I actually got 2 copies of the brown suit because the first had sloppy paint. STILL cheaper than the official. I also forgot to mention about the accessories from the 🥾’s it’s always good to have extras for other figures as well.
@rickestricky1368 now i still don't trust 🥾 fully but the ones with the right logo haven't failed me. I still buy legit buuuuuuut if more 🥾 reviewed by other turn out to be solid i can look the other way 🤣
@ 💯 I got the black suit Spidey as a test run and honestly CT’s made me a fan. They just need to work on their scaling but other than that the Wolverines are primo and I prefer them smaller.
Saw the dead Prime ReAction at my local Ross, but passed for now. They had 7 of them. If he’s still there next week, maybe I’ll pick one up.
18:30 😂
@SilverScarletSpider if I had paid serious money and got those figures somebody would be getting hunted down
Thanks Bro ! Spoken like a true collector . Subscribe to your Channel.. 👍...
@@Viewmaster618 thanks man I just want to share my opinion for the hobby we all enjoy.
I just got the classic and black suit Spider-Man from CT toys. Total I spent about $35. So for around $15 +tax I have two knockoffs/bootlegs figures. Minus the hands looking like he has some type of disability and the magnetics coming out of the foot on the black suit Spider-Man. They are good figures for the price. I have been collecting for a few years now. I have been more disappointed buying expensive figures than I was with these. I have purchased 4 bootleg figures in the years I have been collecting. I have a Mr.Satan that was awesome and still in my collection. One was a kid Goku but he was trash. The best part about him was the accessories that he came with. And now the two Spider-Men from CT. So I’m 3 out of 4, that’s not to bad lmao!
@donaldlayton714 My thing with bootlegs is that it's always a toss up of whether you get a good figure or not. Ai in my video I'm 3 and 3 3 decent figures and 3 horrible figures. Characters like Mr. Satan I'm willing to buy as a bootleg 🤣. I'm willing to give CT Toys a shot since those figures haven't been bad for me as of now. I got the CT Toys Spiderman 2099 late so it didn't make the video but I will have a comparison video for it soon. Thanks for watching the video and sharing your experience.
@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews nice! He was really the only other one I was thinking about buying. I will wait for your video before I make my decision. And the odds are no worse than playing the lotto lmao!
@donaldlayton714 you not lying with the lotto comparison. At the price of 100+ bucks I expect my figures to not fall apart.
Seeing the Super7 Ultimates stuff at Ross was a surprise this year. I happily scooped up a Grimlock and two MMPR Putties for $19.99 each. ReAction Sharkticons for $6, sure, that’s what a ReAction is worth to me. The only ML I saw was a Bruce Banner and he didn’t last a week. I wasn’t seeing the massive stocks of MJs some videos showed. I passed on the BST AXN zombie turtles I saw, but in retrospect, I wish I had grabbed them for a classroom display. It definitely wasn’t as good as last year, but there were still some things to pick up if you had even a passing interest in things. I like the cut of your jib. You have a new subscriber.
Fun fact these arent bootlegs but are factory rejects
@patientmental875 the Wolverine, Anti Venom, and Agent Venom are cool with me. The others are just awful 🤣
Wait what
FINALLY! Dang, been waiting forever for this video. And it was worth the wait, thank you sir. Yeah, my agent venom, beautiful as it is, had to be a factory reject as opposed to your replica, even though there are some aesthetic differences between the two. And don't worry, you didn't get got, you can't get beat in the bootleg game because we know going in what's up! Now if I'm in the alley and some dude sells me a Rolex for a cheap price, and I think it's a Rolex only to find out it's a dressed up Timex, then my dumb a$$ just got beat. We just rolling the dice in the bootleg game! Oh, and where's my La Muerta video? I am not making a move on that until I see your video on that fig.
Man after being sick with rsv and then a stomach bug back to back i just was too tired to make videos. I am loving the figures but I am very cautious on what figures I buy. I have a few others knock offs that arrived late so I will make videos of those next and yes La Muerta is next up 😂 thanks for the comments and motivation
Appreciate the videos bro! I can't find the wolverine
@bigtroyscollectibles Ali express has them but make sure the one you buy has that CT logo on it
6.99 is still too much.
@@thediscountactionfiguredude for that single figure with no accessories in a discount store, you are absolutely right
$4 max for MJ 😂
What Ross do you go to?
Resellers ruin everything in every market
@crimsonguard2268 Not all resellers are bad. Some resellers actually provide a necessary service. Imagine not being able to get an item no longer in production. Greedy resellers ruin the market. Also, companies aren't innocent either. Especially when they hike up the price of reproduced items because they know it's popular. I just bought 3 Marvel Legends figures from eBay from sellers that had them at more than fair prices. Of course I saw some of those figures at outrageous prices but I bought from resellers that offered fair pricing.
I found an amazing girl car that I painted up for GI Joe classified at one down here
Oh shit
Where is this place i need to KNOW
Dumb
Dang! I have been looking for that Transformer GI Joe crossover. Good find! I was thinking maybe that ship had done sailed and I missed out
Great pick up I found 4 foot soldiers today totally stoked
Wow now i wish I had come across those. Well I'll look at two other Ross stores tomorrow
@ lol we might have to start trading Ross finds lmao
@SameTimeToys the awesome part of linking up with other toy hunters and the toy collecting community
@ dude just seeing what out there and where. I find that amazing. We know more about these toy departments than upper management does
@@SameTimeToys 🤣 that's for sure, we also know what prices are good and what isn't
Legends definitely. I'm not sure about Mcfarlane yet, but tings are hitting Ross faster than the past. I would've never imagined that retro card Iron Man wave being at Ross this quick.
#Nailed it 😂😂💯‼️‼️
You know some of these collectors HATE Bobby Vala and the Valaverse line. They act like Hasbro is giving collectors the best action figures ever made
I don't man, I haven't adjusted to spending $13.00 at Ross's yet. It makes no sense since I have no issue spending $250.00 at SideShow, but $13.00 at Ross looks like a line I'm not ready to cross yet. Yet. Gimme time.
LOL I understand, and to think I bought him at full price and then found one on sale for $14 or $15 at Target right after the wave came out. Ross is likely pricing figures according to the brands they see commonly purchased. I looked last night and I have GI JOES I bought last year that still have the $5.99 sticker on them, but now GI JOES are $7.99. Power Rangers went from $4.99 to $6.99. Ross is definitely overpricing some of their figures. No one is going to buy MJ or Bruce Banner for 13 bucks.
I Too found that guy, all by himself, floating around Target for 10 bucks a couple weeks ago! Good get sir!
@thediscountactionfiguredude I picked up this figure for 10 bucks and then picked up my kids virus for free 🤣. So right when I'm planning another video I'm curled up on the couch holding a trash bag 🤮 Yes, they caught another virus after the last one.
@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews Jeez! Your children are extremely efficient at distributing germs! You need to put them in a plastic bubble somewhere! SAVE YO SELF!!!
@thediscountactionfiguredude I know right, well at least they helping my immune system stay up to date. I'm sure it will be worth it in my later years.
This is a great topic! For me personally I really pick & choose pre-orders. If it’s something I definitely want want & fear I won’t be able to find it at a boxed store, I’ll pre-order. I stopped pre-ordering from BBTS, I pre-ordered NECA TMNT because of good prices & savings on shipping BUT I literally got it months to a year later after I’ve seen the products on shelves. Another factor for me with FOMO, I’ve stopped psyching myself out because what are we seeing… these “pre-orders” stacked on shelves, they become peg warmers then end up super discounted anyway. If you HAVE to have it, pre-order but if you can wait patiently you might get it cheaper than preordered. Great discussion
Thank you for speaking on this! I did not purchase the lab so maybe I don’t have a stance in this “argument”.. but it shouldn’t even be an argument. Do the right thing. Many in the collector community has shown their true colors & it’s disappointing.
GameStop has them on clearance too. $37
Hope you got it! Got the same deal! ☮️ ❤
@RoughShodStalks The clerk didn't believe me because she couldn't pull it up on her phone. I went right to the back snapped a picture came back and checked out.
I’ve been searching Roz for over 10 days I still didn’t find him
@@MisaelHernandez-y1n hey don't feel bad I've been looking for that Loyal Subjects Shredder and no luck as of yet. I'll keep looking though
You know the economy is jacked when the discount stores are charging almost double of last year
@@SameTimeToys 🤣🤣🤣🤣 right
Probably making space for the nerf guns 😂😂
Keep em coming. Lovin the content
Will do
I think it’s all the UA-cam toy hunters posting their finds, the word gets out that adult collectors are purchasing these so they raise the price. But Ross also needs to remember that if they keep raising the price fewer people will purchase. Leaving them with a shelve full of product. That’s just my take though
@Sight_on_Christ i think you're right, because that Infinity Saga Bruce Banner is over priced for a discount stores find. I didn't want him at full price in Walmart or Target. I didn't want him when he was on clearance for 10 bucks. I certainly will not pay 13 bucks for him. So yea I agree because Ross will be stuck with all those MJ and Bruce Banner figures.
100% Agree! ☮️ ❤
Awesome, they also extended that 25% action figs again! ☮️ ❤
@@RoughShodStalks store rep told me this Sunday at Ollie's everything in the store will be 25% percent off
Legends are more this year but almost all sale this year weren’t as good as last year. Sales are up and they released less stock because sales were down. The stuff from last year was massive overstock.
Yes, the stuff we saw last year was definitely from overstock and from liquidation of the multiple Target and Walmart stores that were shutdown. We have had some good items hit the shelves but not like last year. However, Ross charging 12.99 for Marvel Legends figures that were 5.99 last year is wild. They will be stuck with all those unwanted figures like MCU Bruce Banner and MJ.
@ yeah. They’re actually smart with it this year. That Bruce will hit clearance. The Transformers last year were that small scorpion guy, wasp guy and a couple others they started at 8.99 and sat and right after Christmas they dropped them to $3.99. I think the Ironmans are selling but Bruce, MJ and maybe Whiplash will hit Ross clearance.
