It could all be that it's China and it's basically the wild west and China loves letting American companies get screwed in favor of money being made in China. They are always helping new Chinese companies steal secrets to items produced there so they can make their own. I bet their goal is to one day kick most the foreign companies out and try to sell us the products directly. I bet if Hasbro tried to stop this there would be nothing they could do.

Thank you for pointing that out, I get over excited sometimes. I just worry a bit that because these rejects/ KO's/ repo's etc, may eventually affect sales in North America. I know that is likely over doing the worry, but if the SDCC exclusives, the new X-Men, etc etc, show up and have longevity on eBay, I think many buyers (not me), may use this as a way to get any and all of their ML's.

I have bought a few KO's, Hasbro 2-pack Hulk, and bluePool, whitePool and GarganVenom, of course I know that's not helping the issue, but these aren't apart of anything I could buy any other way, and if I ever get a chance without spending $100/ figure, I will buy originals.

Also, the figs I have directly from China are loose, with gummy joints and the paint is hit or miss, so buyer beware!
