So I found these today here in the UK instore
They are bootleg jakks ruthless aggression figures
But these figures aren't just knockoffs, they are unbelievably bad!
I've seen super bad customs look spectacular against these guys
At a price of £3.99 per set they weren't really a big loss, but I'm glad they wasn't anymore as the damn things just literally fell apart and snapped as you can see in the video above
Tattoos on the figures aren't bad at all
But the general painting is terrible with a shine that doesn't resemble jakks or Mattel figures
The heads would easily work jakks customs, though I don't know why you would want to!!
The arms and legs are just flimsy and either very loose or very tight and snap (as you see)
These are just awful things that should never be made
But hay... They came with belts
But 1 had no sideplates, that's just stupid!!
I've spent money, so you don't have to! Lol

Yeah I own the blonde Mick Foley and yes it was total crap like you said. It's arm snapped off after a few turns. Only reason I picked it up was because I am a sucker for bootlegs like that.

Dollar Stores in the U.S have bootlegs for $1.00 and they're of better quality than that. They're called extreme fighters, and are a cool way to get luchadore figures.

I dont think these are bootlegs. They are obviously made using the Jakk's molds. They just probably didnt have the quality control to make sure that the parts don't snap off as easily.

They are definitely bootlegs. There are a few tell tale signs - plastic flash, poorer quality plastic, softer molds, different bicep molds, pins in the shoulders and screws in the backs. Plus the fact they break easily. They aren't made by Jakks, therefore they must be bootlegs. Factories can even obtain the actual molds from toylines and make their own figures - but they'd still be bootlegs. These are probably molded from RA figures themselves, instead of from the actual factory molds used to produce RA figures. Because of this, sculpted details will be lost - which is evident from these figures. It's like making a photocopy of a photocopy, instead of the original document. |

I wonder if Jakks destroyed the molds or if they are in some warehouse. |
