Hi guys , according to a few comments for this video , this figure isn't infact a bootleg but a factory defect maybe , I bought it for a tenner off AliExpress so I automatically thought bootleg Regardless bootleg or defect it's still awesome Thanks for the info
Factory recouping its money. Herd DNA has same people as Megalopolis Toys whom ripped off thousands of customers time will tell if they officially release or if this is the only chance to get these. With that said hope I am wrong.
Some company didn’t pay its warehouse prices.. thus hitting the black market and why the green Earthworm Jim didn’t hit Ali express. They aren’t fake nor rejects the company addressed it. Not a bootleg
They aren’t rejects, they sent the original rejects in for repaint. Also, a company didn’t pay its warehouse fees thus coming to the Ali express market. They are legit no bootleg
It isn't a bootleg. It is probably cheap because Premium DNA didn’t pay the factory what they owe. From my understanding, something similar happened with SOTA toys with the Street Fighter and WOW figures.
that is completely not true. these reject figures were sent back to the factory by PDNA due to the QC issues, then I'm guessing the factory sold the reject shipment to the standard china bootleg ali express stores, and those store put them up for bootleg price.
@@buzzsawgr81we don't even know that isn't true. Even so, my statement still holds true. I remember watching a news segment decades ago where a guy in America had to buy all the defective where stock of his 1:1 toy cars for kids to prevent it hitting the Chinese product at a discount due to the sefect can cause child injury. Seems similar to this except we don't know if the Westover's claims that these figures are rejects is true - they are known to lie about the Toy Metropolis fiasco. Best to wait for BNTS to get their stock and compare those.
These are not bootlegs. I got mine from Ali as well. These are factory releases since premium dna didn't settle the production cost and warehouse cost on time. This happens frequently in China. When seller didn't settle payments they sell them for lower price. Not bootlegs nor rejects. Simply stocks were in factory.
2:20 this package seemed to have been missing an additional clear top over the figure and parts! This is why it would need to be tied down. Anyway, I bought this and the additional head pack from Ali! Combined cost was $50USD I'm very satisfied with what I got as it had no defects or misgivings! Only problem appeared in the bonus head pack! One head whose mouth was open wide...it's jaw fell off. But it was pegged so a little spot if glue fixed it!
I got mine from Ali Express and they were excellent. Im glad because they were delivered pretty quickly and didnt cost nearly as much. Whatever defects they had I didn't notice to be perfectly honest.
I just got mine from Ali , along with a KO Storm Mike Tyson. I like them both. I found that same oversized LEGO Batman Clock figure , saw it at Goodwill and thought it was cool .
I've seen various problems with the Earthworm Jim people have received. In my case i had one spot of paint on the leg under the holster. The other problem was a stiff bicep but that sorted with hot water. My hands all fit securely. I've ordered the head set as well so i have Earthworm Jims Worm body.
I have the figure pre-ordered from PDNA but since it's taking so long to ship I ended up buying one of these factory reject figures and the head sculpt pack off ali express. I already got the head pack and they all look great, jim should probably be here next week.
Yeah these are not bootlegs, I've got all 4 and they have no defects and paint and joints are perfect. Premium DNA are covering up something that they dont want us to know. I have the offical battle toads and the earthworm jim figures are exactly the same quality. And BTW the loose accessories just falling out does not mean its a bootleg. All the battle toads accessories did the same and even legit Mezco figures dont tape down extra hands or other accessories. Its all loose. Just letting you know mate so no mis information is spread.
@@popculturepedestal No worries bro. They are great figures we are lucky to get them at this price due to PDNA fuck ups. And even some top quality figure companies have figures with paint scuffs on release 👌 i had a few on my Number 4 and Bob figure but minor minor paint scuffs. So happy with them all
yup they are factory defect and cancelled by DNA for a better paint and quality, dealyed till end of the year.. so got the pretty good ones like you, some got the shitty painted ones hhh.
These are legit and are not factory defects. Premium DNA said that the whole shipment had some minor QC issues and were shipped back to be corrected i.e. they didn't manufacture more just 'touched up' the original figures. Interestingly my figures from Aliexpress had UK distribution labels on the box.
I know others have said the same thing, but what you got is a legit real deal by PDNA, they are factory reject due to having QC issues and now being sold for cheap on Aliexpress, PDNA confirmed that themselves. A fake figure would take months or years for them to make because they would need an official figure first to make mold out of and would have even worse QC than this.
It does not take months or years to bootleg figures, the rise of the beasts bootlegs started releasing almost as soon as the originals released, laser scanners exist.
Mainly defective paint jobs. PDNA have said they were unhappy so sent a load back to be fixed. Guess the factory sold some on the side to recoup costs. I've got one coming tomorrow. Hopefully not too much wrong with it.
it seems the ones on ali just had some minor paint app issues and I've seen some with molding issues. according to PDNA some had the wrong parts and were pretty bad (I'm guessing those ones were scrapped).
No it’s not a bootleg. It is a real one If an egg comes from a chicken and the same egg gets sold in a store that does not make it a bootleg does it? Comes from same factory.

Thanks for the info
It’s not a bootleg or defect. They didn’t pay warehouse fees. So, they hit the market! I did get the whole line and was not impressed by it
Oh its beautiful
This isn't a bootleg its "rejects" from Premium DNA
I was about to type this. Heard there’s hundreds of rejects also.

It is original but it is a batch that did not pass the quality test by Premium DNA due to minimal defects.
It's amazing

@@FallenGemini I've heard this twice now , thank you
This company not paying their supplier makes sense given they are the same people from the website that scammed customers
@@troymikjaniec2143 100% Premium DNA is Megalopolis and Megalopolis scammed so much money.

I got this as well, and the extra heads knowing they'd have some quality issues. This doesn't seem to be a $55 figure even if the paint was fine.
It's very nice though

"Action Snot" 😂
Bootlegs usually take years to appear, if they're even being bootlegged at all.

Cant wait
Yeah, the products being sold on Aliexpress are factory rejects not bootlegs and they had a lot of defects. Probably poor choice of factory
Mines came out ok so far ima show the fails. One is the worst pegs are too short. Hopefully that is remedied
sold out?
No still on there
What kind of defects are we talking about?
It's pretty good to be honest
Mainly defective paint jobs. PDNA have said they were unhappy so sent a load back to be fixed. Guess the factory sold some on the side to recoup costs. I've got one coming tomorrow. Hopefully not too much wrong with it.
Mine arrived & it's pretty much perfect. Not bad for £17.

No it’s not a bootleg. It is a real one
If an egg comes from a chicken and the same egg gets sold in a store that does not make it a bootleg does it?
Comes from same factory.
The Egg and chicken thing has got me stumped ha ha
