I have often wondered when I buy joes and Marvel Legends figures from uswrestlers and viperkingdom what is the issue with these figures. Are they quality defects, rejects, or do I sometimes pay a good chunk of money to have an honest 100% real deal in hand. Any insight would be awesome. I'm more intrested in the Marvel Legends these guys put up, how authentic are they?

ive wondered this too, and lots of people have different opions. everything ive gotten from those sellers you listed and another seller over seas, (sinodolls) have been perfect quality. so i was thinking maybe they or someone they know works in the factory.

Most likely, they're getting factory or QC rejects.
I dunno what happens to those figures otherwise. Thrown away? Melted back down? There are people who slip a few out the back door to sell for $100 on eBay.

have never had any problems- even getting the US release figure eventually they are identical side by side.

Well, it isn't really to say that "factory rejects" really means that they're bad, broken, or damaged figures. Sometimes they can be rejected for the simplest reasons.

KOs are usually really easy to spot due to very different paint applications, (sometimes totally lacking certain colors or details) usually sub-standard plastic or materials used, often times more brittle joints, etc, etc. I'm pretty sure all the guys you listed are legit sellers of things that actually came out of the factory. I know lots of people have bought from Viperskingdom with no problems.

I usually buy them for spare parts.
but they are QC rejects of some sort. Usually the figure has a messed up paint ap. I bought a lot of MU Namors with messed up eyes.
