I think I remember that convo. It took place on the DC thread (?); a long and tedious dialogue about what does and does not constitute a bootleg.

You could be right. My comments about the number of auctions for this fig were a bit exaggerated. Best I can tell, there were four. If we see large numbers of auctions over the next few months, then my money is on KO. Which wouldn't stop me from nabbing one. I was playing with DTL when I commented about the Chinese KO's pointing out IP theft. He knew that, and responded with a hilarious comeback (by the way, Dark, as a kid I bought a pair of fake Bally shoes...but quickly stepped up my game to the real shits in an effort to authenticate my 'fake' yardie/rude-yout' phase of dress ). Knock-offs and boot-legs can definitely hurt a business, but they also serve a purpose when prices soar to unreasonable levels. If someone buys one, Like Dubious said, no judgements...just don't try to resell it as authentic.
