The only knockoffs of anything I've ever bought were a few Masterpiece Transformers, and the quality on those was exceptional. There's a very quick turnaround as counterfeit versions of those are made, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they've been able to do the same with Deadpool this soon. It's likely they've had access to the figure to start the process long before it was released, they always do.
I'd be delighted if I was wrong, but it's not difficult to foresee that demand for this figure will be ahead of supply for quite a while.
I can't see how the demand for the newest Deadpool is that strong. I mean, Carnage is selling for more than TacoPool and Venom is selling at the same amount as TacoPool (around $35 shipped).

It's really Hasbro's fault this is happening. They are not meeting demand with these figures, even older ones. If they did, then the bootleggers would have no reason to knock them off. Hasbro has the molds, they could reissue older, rarer figures if they wanted to or re-release them in different colors so the originals still retained their value. I'm sure reissues/repaints of Toybiz Deadpool, McFarlane Spidey, Snapshot Spidey, Dragon Man, FF4 6" Annihilus, Hasbro Crossbones, Hasbro Luke Cage, and many others would sell well. Toybiz and Kenner used to repaint or repack their older figures all the time, so why not do it again as a "Best of/ Fan Favorites" line? Marvel is bigger than ever today, they should have no problem moving these products since they are all popular characters. Its the B, C, and D list characters we groan about because they are still clogging the pegs at all our stores and now the newer waves are either only showing up here and there or not at all. Hell, you cant get the Hulkbuster wave for $10 a figure at BigLots right now and the Ultron wave at TJ Maxx/Marshalls. The last time I saw Marvel Legends hit discounters, it was the Annihilus and Blob waves.
