Hot Toys Talks Counterfeit Wolverine Figure

Posted on August 19, 2011 at 7:55 am by Joe Moore under Marvel Toy News

Hot Toys’ Facebook Page has added a statement on a counterfeit X-Men Origins: Wolverine figure that has been hitting the market.

“Statement on counterfeit products of Wolverine Collectible Figure

Recently, we discovered that there are counterfeit products of the Hot Toys Wolverine Collectible Figure from the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie in the market which are mainly originated from Vietnam that we are very concerned about. The genuine and counterfeit products look similar at first glance but actually they look very different in terms of the collectibles’ quality, details, painting technique and packing.

Fans shall pay special attention to it. Just in case we re-produce the collectible products, we will make official announcement to let fans know.

If there are any queries on the suspected counterfeit products, please don’t hesitate to contact the Hot Toys team at cs@hottoys.com.hk“

You can see some of the comparison photos by clicking the headline of the story.

    out of the 3 pics shown there's no difference in design/style only thing different is over all color and shading detail. If I was able to get the same thing for $100 less then I'd personally say fuck hot toys and bring on Korean knockoffs. If this is same price as the hot toys then boo.

    I find this amusing.

    I have experience with Japan's Max Factory/Goodsmile figma line of action figures and the Chinese have almost convincing counterfeits running rampant (huge emphasis on almost). And now China-based Hot Toys have the Koreans counterfeiting their action figures. Ha.

    And finally Japan will rip off Korea by treating them as second class citizens in their country. The circle completes itself.

    They'd have to meet the same standards that I hold Hot Toys to before I even entertained that train of thought.
