The old stock was being sold off these past few months, as I started running into these again at TRUs all over the place, but they definitely weren't packaged like that. I'm pretty sure that's a bootleg given how shoddy the card in the packaging is done, but since NECA got back to you on it already, it's confirmed.

The real question is now, did the bootlegger improve the quality of the figure somehow? Those original NECA ones were seemingly made of glass and peanut brittle. The original NECA Turtles were the same way, requiring you to handle them with kid's gloves, but I can say for sure, that the KO set of NECA Turtles that I just recently received does not have that issue one bit, actually improving on the originals a little bit in terms of durability. I wonder if these Keaton knock offs are any better, and if that means a KO Reeve Superman is just down the road...
