They need to stop copying the original Mafex packages and remove the copyrighted characters names. There is a reason why brands like Demoniacal Fit give weird names to their figures like "Scarlet Martial Artist" instead of Kaioken Goku. Disney owns Marvel characters and there are legit Chinese companies making licensed figures of their properties like FondJoy so it's better if CT Toys stops bringing up attention to themselves.
the problem is channels like this one and every stupid motherfucker praising CT on mafex official forums, even toy reviewers have showcased them, that is a LOT of attention. stupid generation cant eat quiet.
@@UnwantedOpinion01 I don't feel sorry for Mafex when they are charging an absurd $80 each for their products. They just raised the price to $90 for their 2025 releases.
Yeah they nailed it . Making a good bootleg is hard but they managed to pull it off . And it’s at good prices I absolutely love my wolverine just had a loose fitting head
Marvel is after their store, but I contacted the store and they said they’ve opened a new store called Funly Toy Store on Aliexpress but they said that store was just in case Toy-Planet Store got shut down
they are closing because idiots posting on official mafex reddit and toy reviewers brought them to attention... they need to do carnage before they close shop !
@@Stupidfy88 problem is this stupid generation, WHY would you go on the official producer site and post how well the copy is ? just enjoy it QUIETLY ! but i blame it more on the youtubers toy reviewers.
No.. ct toys were the real idiots for using actual trademark names and brands on their packages. Look at how third party dragon ball figures like demoniacal fit dont use actual names and brands.
I hope they can reissue those Revoltech Agent Venoms soon and also, according to copyright,I think they should stop using real names of the characters and instead just call them some superhero or Wolvie or Spoderman, just to avoid copyright because CT Toys isn't a Bootleg company anymore, it's like a third party company and Marvel is noticing that so they tried suing them about it.
I think you're right, they need to stop using the official names. Plenty of third party companies out of China make nice figures that are clearly other companies' IP but get away with it that way. The BMS Return of the King figure comes to mind. Everyone knew it was Kingdom Come Superman but they were left alone. I think another thing they should do is stop copying the Mafex packaging. CT Toys has made a name for themselves by this point, and no one with a brain thinks they're getting an official Mafex figure when ordering them. It just seems like a potential risk with little reward. They could come in a plain brown box and they're still going to sell.
Should be getting my brown Wolvie by the end of next week. Hope it lives up to the hype! I will likely keep buying originals over knock-offs, but the fact MAFEX still hasn't announced a rerelease of their brown suit Wolvie after rereleasing so many other figures pushed me to get the CT. Prime example of "you snooze, you lose" for Mafex.
Technically they aren't the first "branded" bootleggers as Dragon Ball collectors are swimming in 3rd party brands like Demoniacal Fit, Kong Studios/Beast Deities, OCToys, etc.
I have the Wolverine and the black Spider-Man I liked them so much I ordered the anti venom and agent venom looking forward to getting quality is great for me not perfect but dang pretty on my display and fits right in with the rest I say rock on CT toys keep making these amazing KO’s because I’m enjoying them
I just got the Agent Venom figure in yesterday and it's fantastic! It's crazy to get all those accessories and such a great looking figure for the retail price of Marvel Legends. All mine needed was a little silicone shock oil on the thigh and leg ball joints. I'm tempted to get Agent Anti-Venom next. I'd be eager to hear what you think of it when you get it! Wolverine and the black suit Spidey were my first as well. I got the classic Spidey but he came with two right magnetic hands. Apparently that's a common QC issue for that one. My Wolverine came with the right wrist peg installed backwards, but that was an easy fix. Unfortunately, the rivet in the right arm connecting the forearm to the bicep is faulty so it didn't anchor into the plastic. I tried to fix it by getting the rivet to anchor but realized the issue. I stripped a wire tie and cut it to fit enough to thread it through the rivet and wrap around it a few times. Now the arm stays in one piece and poses. It doesn't show as it's hidden by the forearm and bicep, so it's no big deal. For 16 bucks, I can do a little work. I did order another though.
I think the term ' bootleg ' should stick. These companies are unlicensed, unauthorized versions. No matter how good they are. Beyond that I buy them 😂❤
Bootlegs aren't legal in China. They just dont tend to enforce it as much. Bandai famously had the Chinese police raid a factory that was making bootleg gundam kits. People went to jail, and Bandai had the molds destoryed. Disney is a lot more savage than Bandai. They went as far as to send a cease and desist to my school for pictures of a Dinsyland trip in the yearbook.
Because of your reviews I have both Agent Venoms and Brown suit Wolverine from CT Toys. I also bought the official Mafex Daredevil and don’t feel bad about it. Thanks for your coverage!
i love this channel, and i'm totally agree. I'm not able to buy expensive figures, and i enjoy the ct toys. I really loved the 185, and my wolverine is shipping on the 29th. Thnks for the info
They are made an amazing job , I had the brown suit Wolverine and black suit Spider, I hope that CT Toys continue and give the collector an option, to get a good figure with a fair price.
I saw a TH-cam video in the past few weeks for a figure where the reviewer went down the rabbit hole and found that they could order directly from CT Toys through a retailer with a name that was Cat something followed by a word starting with the letter 'T'. Sorry, I can't remember. He seemed pretty sure that it was what the CT stood for though.
CT Toys makes some really GREAT damn toys! They are not like KO revoltech figs that are all janky and stiff and busted. The figures that CT has are quality as far as a cheaper alternative to the original models the toys are based on. I wouldn’t trade my brown Wolvie for anything else because it’s just a damn good figure and I get some awesome pictures and scenes with it. I hope CT stays in business because they make really good stuff.
I'd love to get X-Force figures from them. Uncanny X-Force by Remender was my favorite comic version of that team but the earlier one with the all black and gray suits would dope AF.
It was because of your videos that I started checking out the CT Toys stuff and I'm grateful! I've now got classic comic Spider-Man, black Suit Spidey, Agent Venom, and the brown and tan Wolverine. They're all great, typically just needing a little bit of silicone shock oil on the joints. I'm waiting for the next Wolverine to ship now. I also got the "MAF" Venom amd it's pretty awesome as well. I'm really shocked at the overall quality of the bootlegs we're getting now. Seriously the brown suit Wolverine is my favorite figure of the character I've ever owned since the 1984 Secret Wars original and I have many from multiple lines like Mezco, Legends, AY, etc. For 16 bucks, it's absolutely crazy! Agent Venom is really excellent too. The fact that these figures are the same price or cheaper than retail for Legends is mind-blowing. Before now, the only bootleg figures I got that I felt were worth keeping were the KOs of the OG NECA TMNT with all red headband masks like in the original comics. I still have them and they're great! I do want to trade up for the Mezco set but that's not currently within my means. I think CT Toys is going to put the pressure on Mafex to either lower their prices a little or at least offer more value to their figures. Yeah, licensing costs money but they're still crazy overpriced. Competition is a good thing, legitimate or otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised to see CT Toys eventually put out something wholly original. I'm not concerned for CT Toys either, the Chinese bootleg market isn't going anywhere after all.
well they just released Web Man CT, someone reviewed it in Insta, so i guess CT going play it safer now change the names and package might help but beleive me, nothing will stop bootlegs
I have the Brown suit Wolverine and it's amazing (review on my channel). So good, I went ahead and ordered the original costume Spider man last week, waiting for him to arrive. Cheers from Australia.
I hope they do a mafex daredevil later next year. Personally, if you consider PPP(Purchasing Power Parity), the original figure price is worth 1/5 of my salary as a new graduate, so cheaper options like CT toys are actually as expensive for me as buying the original for people in countries with higher PPP in regards to the dollar. So CT is the genuine product for me😂.
Wew I thought they were done, I was waiting for the Scarlet Spider update. Glad to know they just rename their store name, I really like their black suit spidey and Venom agent, I guess that brown suit wolverine really made mafex nervous.
It’s crazy to see how far knock offs have come because like you mentioned that back in the day there was a lot of knock off for ninja Turtles and you can obviously tell those are cheap knock off now we got highly detailed bootlegs that are probably better than the original or a good alternative than the original, now that’s been a branded Company. I think right now being a collector is a great time to be a collector because if you don’t wanna spend too much money on the original and just enjoy some these bootlegs are a good option.
Part of me has wondered, is this new Funly store just somebody trying to take the crown of the “official store”? Just like toy planet store could have done? Just a marketing trick? However, I have ordered several from toy planet store and the shipping is always very quick and nicely packaged.
Many people would have gladly bought a 138 Wolverine from MAFEX for retail instead of the $500+ charged on evilBay. Why did they leave the window so wide open for CT Toys? 🤔
They need to change the look of the packaging that would help keeping the marvel heat off there back . I was shocked at how awesome the wolverine turned it would be a big game changer if they included the brown and yellow claws in the tiger stripe one the only thing that was a minor tiff I had was the head on my wolverine was the head is loose any one have a tip or trick to get it tighter ?? But yeah I’m a fan of what CT Toys is doing the Mafex and SH figures are way over priced imports so CT Toys is giving fans the opportunity to own a well made Bootleg to own for a great price . I hope we get a Jean gray sometime down the line
Well if these companies would take more control over the scalping issue and make their reissues more accessible for paying customers we wouldn’t need to find alternatives. Maybe if they spent that money and energy on fixing these problems instead of suing smaller companies, these smaller companies wouldn’t need to be sued in the first place.
I finally received Agent Venom, and not particularly impressed. A mix of loose and overly stiff joints with sloppy paint. Waiting for Wolverine. Hopefully that's better.
Most KOs are remolds or their runs are sporadic. Sometimes they're factory seconds/rejects, too. These CT figs are as if they got the original MAFEX molds, paint masks, tampo processes, etc. How does that even happen?
I have been collecting for a long time. Who remembers the old school goku and vegeta figuarts Datong? They were better then figuarts back in 2014 and got shut down
Bootleg is definitely not legal in China, its just they don’t pursuit prosecution activity unless a company is pressuring the Chinese government. A pretty popular gundam bootleg company was convicted couple years ago.
Covid wiped out the bootleg market for a second there. Iv been hoping for a tiger stripe bootleg since the OLD KO MAFEX SPIDERMAN. that thing was nice for 15$
Watches knives toys cloths shoes if it's popular there will be counterfeits and it will never stop and im here for it the cheaper the better mafex will have to drop there prices to compete.
How is it that a chinese KO company missed the number one rule that 3P Transformers follow? Don't use copyrighted names and logos, make something up instead. They should've called him honey badger.
They are gonna be fine if they do it on Aliexpress like always will be fine Aliexpress will never be taken down neither will they because they are bootlegs but also are located in china America cant do sh*t don’t worry they will be fine
Yeah I had a argument in a discord about this. It's one thing to just say "they're bootlegs" and just get rid of them. However, my main thing is that if Mafex and them decide to do this, then they should actually fix some of the issues that led up to and will continue to harm their company, IE, reissues, aftermarket prices, stocking the figures, qualiy control, etc. CT toys is only doing this good because Mafex is leaving gaps on the table where they shouldn't be. Granted, using the same name and packaging is not smart, and even I questioned that one.
they should be fine. there have been so many bootlegs and knockoffs of so many things that have come from china for ages. from cheap items, to expensive luxury goods
I have a question regarding the CT Toys SHF Ultimate Gohan and Grand Scholar Gohan, are these actually legit made by them or fakes? The CT Toys SH Gohan is on Aliexpress.
Does anyone remember datong? It was basically the ct toys equivalent of dbz sh figuarts back in the day (Minus the scale issues). I just hope that ct doesn't end like them.
I don't think that Batman figure would be as successful as the other X Men like Gambit, Magneto, Cyclops, etc (Mafex), and yes, bootlegs are very popular in the world, maybe not in USA, and maybe that's gonna change also, unless Mafex figures cost as the CT ones, i remember buying Saint Seiya bootleg figures in the 90s, as well as Bandai's ones, and the bootlegs were practically identical, CHRISTUS VINCIT, CHRISTUS IMPERAT. DEUS BENEDICAT TIBI.
It was dumb on their part. They screwed up on the packaging. Just do what other 3rd and 4th party companies do. Change the character name and logos etc. They'll be fine. Call Wolverine 'Berserker Claw Man' or something. This isn't rocket science.
You said basically everything that I would say on the matter. We could argue the morality of bootlegs all we want but at the end of the day, CT toys is putting out a good product that’s cheap. Until Mafex can match the price and keep the toys in stock there will be an issue.
Keeping them in stock and being attentive to their customer base would be a good step for Mafex. I don't see them ever being nearly as cheap as CT Toys just because paying for licenses and the work hours going back and forth for approval from the licensor all costs a lot of money. I could see them realizing that they're charging too much and cutting prices but I don't ever see officially licensed Mafex figures going for $14-$26.
Lets not spread false information. Who ever said KO is legal in China? Just because they are available, it does not mean it is illegal. I have covered videos on my channel on how huge companies like Square Enix made action that counter react manufacturer that made non licensed product of IPs by SE.
China's government does not put huge focus on KOs becuz the quantity are huge and unless big companies made actions, government institutes wont do anything voluntarily.
I hope if nothing else CT is a market shock to Mafex in particular who seem to stubbornly struggle with basic company stuff like taking feedback, providing a consistent level of quality and value, and producing enough quantity to reasonably meet demand. Tiger Stripe is a perfect example of all 3 gone wrong, and then he goes for like $400 usd on the aftermarket. I don't blame anyone for saying F that and paying $20 for the bootleg that's at least 80% as good.
They need to stop copying the original Mafex packages and remove the copyrighted characters names. There is a reason why brands like Demoniacal Fit give weird names to their figures like "Scarlet Martial Artist" instead of Kaioken Goku. Disney owns Marvel characters and there are legit Chinese companies making licensed figures of their properties like FondJoy so it's better if CT Toys stops bringing up attention to themselves.

@@OverBenthousand Nah call him Metal Boner claw.

Same here, hope they make ko revoltech AY moon knight & Ay Black panther too
Daredevil please
They do have a KO of the AY moonknight.@@boukenshota3530

However, my main thing is that if Mafex and them decide to do this, then they should actually fix some of the issues that led up to and will continue to harm their company, IE, reissues, aftermarket prices, stocking the figures, qualiy control, etc. CT toys is only doing this good because Mafex is leaving gaps on the table where they shouldn't be. Granted, using the same name and packaging is not smart, and even I questioned that one.
Thank god I bought mine before all that shit happend
they should be fine. there have been so many bootlegs and knockoffs of so many things that have come from china for ages. from cheap items, to expensive luxury goods
I have a question regarding the CT Toys SHF Ultimate Gohan and Grand Scholar Gohan, are these actually legit made by them or fakes? The CT Toys SH Gohan is on Aliexpress.
They'll just change their name and move on no worries
i really hope they make a tom holland spiderman to complete the no way home trio
Does anyone remember datong? It was basically the ct toys equivalent of dbz sh figuarts back in the day (Minus the scale issues). I just hope that ct doesn't end like them.
I buy my ct toys figures from the ct toys eBay acc that store isnt closed
I'm hoping they do Power Rangers in the future, stuff like Ninja Storm and Samurai and NO Mighty Morphin (too many MMPR figures)
Nah, they could just rename and it's ok
same goes with tonsen art.. they delete all their post
I wonder why their Marvel figures are good and at the same time their Dragon Ball Gohan is pretty bad.
I don't think that Batman figure would be as successful as the other X Men like Gambit, Magneto, Cyclops, etc (Mafex), and yes, bootlegs are very popular in the world, maybe not in USA, and maybe that's gonna change also, unless Mafex figures cost as the CT ones, i remember buying Saint Seiya bootleg figures in the 90s, as well as Bandai's ones, and the bootlegs were practically identical, CHRISTUS VINCIT, CHRISTUS IMPERAT. DEUS BENEDICAT TIBI.
I have 2 theories one mafex and marvel are planning to take it down because of ct toys products two they are low on budget also my wish came true
Robo did a review, now this...
It was dumb on their part. They screwed up on the packaging. Just do what other 3rd and 4th party companies do. Change the character name and logos etc. They'll be fine. Call Wolverine 'Berserker Claw Man' or something. This isn't rocket science.
Me waiting for CT toys spider man PS4
You said basically everything that I would say on the matter. We could argue the morality of bootlegs all we want but at the end of the day, CT toys is putting out a good product that’s cheap. Until Mafex can match the price and keep the toys in stock there will be an issue.
Keeping them in stock and being attentive to their customer base would be a good step for Mafex. I don't see them ever being nearly as cheap as CT Toys just because paying for licenses and the work hours going back and forth for approval from the licensor all costs a lot of money.
I could see them realizing that they're charging too much and cutting prices but I don't ever see officially licensed Mafex figures going for $14-$26.
Lmao are you serious you expect mafex to “match the price” do you even understand how figures get made?
@ no I don’t expect them to “match” it down to the exact price but I do think they could drop the price some.
Lets not spread false information. Who ever said KO is legal in China? Just because they are available, it does not mean it is illegal. I have covered videos on my channel on how huge companies like Square Enix made action that counter react manufacturer that made non licensed product of IPs by SE.
China's government does not put huge focus on KOs becuz the quantity are huge and unless big companies made actions, government institutes wont do anything voluntarily.
so theY have to make a name change lol
I hope if nothing else CT is a market shock to Mafex in particular who seem to stubbornly struggle with basic company stuff like taking feedback, providing a consistent level of quality and value, and producing enough quantity to reasonably meet demand. Tiger Stripe is a perfect example of all 3 gone wrong, and then he goes for like $400 usd on the aftermarket. I don't blame anyone for saying F that and paying $20 for the bootleg that's at least 80% as good.
