They are just considered repaints of an original figure and rarely are they worth more.
Me personally, I do not consider most of the repaints to be a viable Gi joe figure. That is just me though and if it interests some people to collect them I'm not hating just saying it is weird is all.
Well, you kind of did say that when you described them as "knock-offs".
Anyway, no offense, but your position on what makes something "rare" or not seems a little off to me. "Rare" simply means difficult to find, so I can't see how it being a repaint has anything to do with it. If a repaint is a) difficult to find/acquire and b) aesthetically pleasing then of course there will be a demand for it, and a corresponding increase in value/price. This is true for any toy/collecting line, not just GI Joe.
