I still classify them under fakes/bootlegs.

I've bought a few bootleg DC Universe, Minimates & other figures just because they were dirt cheap. Most have been complete crap and regrettable purchases.

I'd say the only exception are the bootleg Lego's. Since there's not as many parts or that detailed, they're pretty close to the real things. $10-12 for a set of 8 Marvel or DC Lego's (or as I call them L3G0's)...can't beat that.
