Knock-off figures - general discussion

[Takama]

For a bootleg that is pretty decent. The paint app isn't obviously a 1:1 to the original plain variant, but what is there isn't too bad. I'm guessing the downside (or perhaps upside to some) to it being a bootleg is it probably lacks the bendy wire tail, and jaw articulation of the original. I could have sworn the whole reason Rebor implemented those features in the first place was to cut down on the bootlegs out there of their figures, but it appears they are still bypassing those measures after all. Edit: Other then having more display options after all.

The tail is definetly solid, and its moulded as if it were a part of the entire figure.  Also, it still has the Articulated jaw.

@Takama Thanks for the correction there.

One thing i do wonder though is will this suffer from figure Stickyness a lot more then a Genuiene model.

Only time will tell.

Maybe. Depends what it's made of really.

Its almost Papo qulity to be honest.   Though the reports of Papo Spinosaurus becomeing sticky now does come to mind

 I am against bootlegging and I think it's a bit sad that we're promoting the crooks with this thread .
 The REBOR Ankylosaurus is still available.

@postsaurischian I didn't see it on BBTS or Happy Hen Toys, who as far as I know are the only retailers in the US who carry their products. That said had you not mentioned that I would have not thought to look elsewhere. I did do some digging and it seems some European based retailers still carry them.

The only ones I've seen so far that's carrying them still is the ones I've listed below. I did see some other results on google but I'm not sure if they are trust worthy to order from (assuming they ship to the US).

I'm not sure about speelboer, but the other two do offer international shipping. I checked both of those, and shipping is about 20 EUR, close to $20 USD. The figure is around 30-40 EUR which puts the total price around $50-$60. Not too unreasonable though a bit more then what it would have been if buying at a retailer in the US (but probably cheaper then ebay, haven't checked).

For example when BBTS was still carrying it, it was $36.99 (with their $4 flat shipping, and tax, a little over $40 total).
