Please note: this is not an official NECA social media forum, nor do any NECA employees moderate or participate in this subreddit.Ĭheck out the r/NECA WIKI for tips for new collectors, how to avoid bootlegs and general information. How do you even know if you own a bootleg? How do you tell the differences?Īnd my understanding is also that the bootlegs are in great quantity and becoming a huge, huge problem for Neca.A growing community of NECA fans who want to keep up to date on the latest NECA releases, share their collections with other action figure enthusiasts, and discuss their passion for collecting NECA. Why should I pay a hefty price for something when I could get a cheaper 'Bootleg' that is about the same quality? Neca has a huge issue getting things right to begin with. So, my questions basically is: Why should I care if I own a Neca bootleg, besides the obvious moral reasons?

It's usually just the paint jobs that differ. My understanding is that Neca bootlegs are being produced with the exact same molds and materials. I like all my figures, besides quality control issues, and I don't find anything 'bootleggy' about them. I literally have to place all my figures from Neca in boiling water before moving their parts to ensure nothing snaps off. It seems that it doesn't matter - quality control is a bitch for Neca no matter what. Now - I've bought Neca figures directly from real-life Collector's stores, US sellers, China, directly from Neca, etc. They weren't cheap, but were not overly expensive either. Since a bunch of what I ordered came directly from Ebay China sellers, it is my understanding that some of what I own are likely bootlegs. Recently I've started collecting Neca Aliens again. Basically I have questions of my own to start us off. I'm starting up this thread for anything related to Bootleg Neca figures.
