These bootlegs just keep popping up more and more. Check out the perfect reg sigil and the "red flag" rivets. and there are more than 10!!! He should at least sell them cheaper.

I can't stand those reversed rivets.
If you feel that you have to go the way of the bootleg to acquire this figure in "perfect" condition for a cheap price then there are much better samples out there. It's one thing if the buyer knows it's a bootleg and wants to save some money, but it's another thing if the buyer doesn't know any better and they think that they are getting an original. The sellers should state that it's a "knock off", but sometimes they don't even know any better. Most of the time though I'm sure that they are just trying to get one over on the buyer who is unaware. So as they say...Let the buyer beware. I don't condone the sale or purchase of bootlegs though.
