This video just confirmed my Donnie is fake. I knew something was off due to the color being a bit too dark, while Donnie chest was too yellow. Sadly, the box description on the back sealed the deal...it also describes Mikey. So pissed...it really is impossible to find the real ones.
@@ADAM_COLLECTS Sadly yes, but it was from a UK Amazon site, and the UK toy vendors are apparently stacked with frauds. I did find a Leo that was legit, although the box was damaged, but I don't give a damn. Long as its real.
That’s so odd, I bought my wife the Donatello one not the last year but the year before. Found in the shop Menkind for a decent price, but yeah who’d of thought that there are bootlegs of these figures 🤔
Ah man, I hate hearing stories like this. Glad you ultimately ended up with a real one though but what a frustration.
Thanks yeah, makes you really cautious about buying things like that on eBay again
Dude you got blue eyes!!! One blew this way and one blew that way!!!😊
It’s scary how similar the boxes are. Although, that Michelangelo description on the back is pretty telling. 😆 That’s a crazy story! 🤘
Scary? 😂

Yeah really tricky. EBay is flooded with fakes. Stores that specialise in collectibles are usually the best place to find them.
@@EnigmaticRetroRewind That's why I avoided Ebay and went with Amazon...still no dice.
@@TheDalinkwent are you saying you got a Bootleg from Amazon? Wow, that is a bit disappointing

Had you put a dispute through PayPal you would have got a full refund.
I always use PayPal when i get problems with sellers

I’d imagine you’ll mostly find the fake ones on eBay or other marketplaces
Menkind was surely a 90s boyband? 😄
@@EnigmaticRetroRewind probably 🤔lol But yeah it’s one of the best high street shops that sells cool geeky stuff.

I’m thinking of buying the bootlegs for my 4 year old.
did you? i also think about same, but i dont want broken toys after 2 days so i dont know if they are tough enough
I want to buy bootlegs to customize to some evil clones turtles
It would be more helpful if you didn't film this in colored lighting. The colors on the figures don't show up well.
I'm sure you don't want the hassle but I hope the seller got reported
I’m not sure, I don’t think Sophie reported him.
Couldn't you make the room a little bit darker?
