that was quick... but I guess the delay was in KO favor.

That was fast. Looks like someone at the Chinese factory has a side-job.

That's lol-tastic. I wonder if the QC on these will be better...

So is that how KOs work? Someone at the Hasbro factory is staying after work and making a bunch of these to sell on the black market?

If not, where does the KO company get the molds and paints from, and why?...I mean, is there a really a market for these imitations?

They might reverse-engineer the toys... Hence the bad molding problems.

I was implying more that someone at the factory was selling the figures and molds during the production process or after they were complete to companies to make the knock-offs.
