Not sure how exactly they get ahold of them, but they probably are stolen from the factory, it just doesn't add up why someone would normally have them at this point in production. They're definitely not bootlegs or knockoffs or defective, they're 100% authentic, but they are usually just taken from a pre-finished process; this jungle bat for example doesn't yet have the holster glued into his left thigh, nor does he come with any of the other accessories, just his 2 arms and head. I've bought from other well known Chinese sellers such as viperskingdom and wstoys many times, and they will often have similar items in very similar conditions. My guess is that it's some sort of under-the-table scheme that Chinese Hasbro factory workers have been pulling off for a while now to make extra money from us American customers. Whether or not Hasbro knows or had taken any interest has yet to be seen.

What was interesting about the latest viperkingdom Retaliation wave 3 auctions, he had them all in the plastic trays with all the accessories. It looked like they were pulled off the line right before the final packaging phase. I wonder if they were some quality control errors.

One thing I am surprised us that we never see any preproduction Joe Club figures. Was hoping some of these would surface but never happens.

I've bought several ARAH style club figures over the years.
Slaughter and the Marauders, just recently. There is a guy with 20 or so Gristle figures for sale now.
The modern ones need to be out there somewhere. Depends on what guy comes across them.

I was expecting to see that too. Especially now since the figures have been recently made and are starting to ship.

I always thought the Joes, Marvel figs, & DC figs these Chinese sellers get were qc rejects, extras off the assembly line, and initial mold test/prototypes. In some auctions (mostly DC figs) you can clearly see some plastic defects but in most auctions the figs look fine just missing accessories.

A few of my favorited Chinese sellers have stopped selling toys so there may have been a crack down. I'm sure Hasbro and Mattel frown appon it but lets face it. These workers can't be getting paid much. Suplimenting there income by selling some toys sound like a great Idea as long as it does not get you fired.
