So I was at a Con about a month ago and spoke to one specific dealer in great lengths. He had the red Deadpool and Blue Deadpool loose and one Red Deadpool in package (Toybiz). I said is that Blue one the real deal or a KO? He smiled, picked it up and said I get these for under $20 buying in bulk and anytime someone asks I tell them that I got it from a chinese ebay seller, but most people will pick it up and say "wow blue deadpool for $40 I didn't even know this existed" and will purchase it on spot no questions asked. He showed me a bag of 5 or 6 of both red and blue pools after the story.

This same guy sold me the Green Mandarin 3.75" IM2 figure on card for $15 while having the same figure loose for $20. I said why charge less for the packaged figure than the loose ones? He said I will sell 2 loose figures for every carded one. He said it was MU specific, but there are larger numbers of people looking to display them loose than on card. So his prices reflected that.

Weird stuff, but I just wanted to give a heads up that the Bootlegs are not just on ebay anymore, vendors are also purchasing these things for resale.

@Kamatayan I think the Solid Visions did have a Bootleg KO floating around for a few years after it released. They were being sold without his cape. About 3 years ago I purchased my Vision for a good deal off ebay, only to discover his cape was actually a painted Adam Warlock cape, so I am fairly sure the Solid Vision I have in my display is actually one of these KOs. I have since replaced his cape with a cast of the original from Vort.
