Facts: Terrible bootlegs of Papo and Schleich.

Opinion: Same as above. 
Honestly speaking, I wouldn't even buy the original of that Schleich Triceratops, so I won't buy the cheaper made, very likely toxic version of it. Or of the Papo T.rex and Spinosaurus. As a matter of both, safety and morality, I say: Only originals. Down with bootlegs!

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Thanks for the heads up - bootlegging seems to be everywhere  >:(

Are there any other brands to avoid?
Thanks.

Kinda hard to pinpoint bootleg brands but one thats very common is FloZ. You're better off learning what legit models and toys look like or at least ask us here most of us are happy to help identify if something is bootlegged or not.

^What they said. Here's several websites that either list or sell only legitimate companies:

https://www.everythingdinosaur.com
http://www.dejankins.com/
http://stores.dansdinosaurs.com
https://www.minizoo.com.au
https://dinotoycollector.com/BrowseAll.php
https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.net/wiki/Category:Companies
http://www.dinosaurcollectorsitea.com/

(the bottom two may be too comprehensive to be useful)

Don't buy it. Bootlegs (with very minor exceptions) look and feel cheap in-hand. They look great from a distance (where they belong).
