Photos of these following collections of mine are coming soon and will be posted here De Agostini / Atlas Jakks Pacific / Irwin Toys Super Guerriers / AB France For now, here is my Mexican bootleg collection (3 of the shenron figures purchased from Capsule x Nike, thanks!) Oozaru Here's 4 out of 10 versions (that I have seen thus far) These are f****n dope! SS Broly / (SS) Trunks / SS Gotenks 3 / (SS) Goten / SS Vegeta 3 Broly's hair is blacklight responsive and all of these figure's hair is rubbery. Goten and Trunks have changeable heads Vegeta / SS Vegeta / Baby Vegeta Same base body but slight differences in paint style, right hand, and upper body sculpt Bills from...that movie... ugh. These are for sale by the way, bought them before I saw it (will be listing in the appropriate thread). Two different sculpts, the taller being over 8 inches in height. Shenron Dragon (Best sculpt of him in my opinion) and Master Roshi Shenron Nuova (one of 2 versions + 1 repaint) / Omega / Oceanus - These are just awesome Majin Buu (Fat) / Majin Buu / Majin Buu w/ tail / Majin Buu w/ tail (Gotenks Fusion) / Majin Buu (Gotenks Fusion) Baby Vegeta / Super Baby / Oozaru Baby Ultimate Ver. (one of two versions) - Super baby with that metallic silver hair (looks better in person) and pose is slick. The other Oozaru version is metallic gold with a more aggresive face...sucks I lost that auction. MORE PHOTOS OF MY COLLECTION TO COME IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2014

Aw man, I love these Mexican bootlegs! I've never seen a lot of them, like Hercule or Shenron. These are great!

These were so much fun to look at. I've never seen that many Mexican bootlegs, or them in comparison pics before! Who would have guessed that SS2 Gohan was that big?!

First picture monkey on the right looks awesome. Then that monkey on the left has the coolest colored armor. Very cool! I totally agree with you on that; Now imagine the one on the left but with fur that's a rich metallic gold paint and a slightly switched color scheme for the armor...looks better than all of those I posted but unfortunately another auction I lost at the last second. Thank you to those who have viewed this post and for your comments! I am glad that these photos may help or provide more info on this topic. To any haters against bootlegs, I love them and don't care what you think or feel! These figures are pieces of art... and if such renditions never existed or surpass the originals, I support it. If I ever came up with an idea and individuals used the likeness, I would be honored that my idea was taken and materialized beyond my means as profit for any true artist isn't the motive. So if someone's crying about losing a few thousand out of millions of dollars, they need to stop. There will always be enough supporters of authentic releases (myself included) to where it shouldn't even matter. More photos next week!

I think most people that hate bootlegs hate the ones that are just copies of legit stuff. These bootlegs you have are original molds to the best of my knowledge, just unlicensed. And licensing and copyrighting is something within each country's laws or w/e, so how can someone be mad because their country frowns on it, but another country doesn't care one way or another.

It sucks you lost that auction, there's always more out there. I like bootlegs, with one exception. If it's a bootleg deliberately packaged to fool people into believing it's another known product. It's fine if they make a original piece. When you try to copy a figure making it almost identical to another, that's just unethical. Bootlegs regardless have proved they have a following. From what I see from figure collectors, the detail is all that matters.

If you have a near complete set of Editions Atlas I'd love to see comparison/group pics just like what you did with the Mexican bootlegs!

Kid Trunks' f*cking smile just makes me laugh so much. It's hilarious.
Really interesting collection!

And licensing and copyrighting is something within each country's laws or w/e, so how can someone be mad because their country frowns on it, but another country doesn't care one way or another. You're right, and I do agree on that regarding the licensing. However, what if a figure so happens to be 100's of dollars and the only way a fan could afford one is to have a Chinese reproduction? I understand limited availability, collectability, and other factors that influence the initial pricing, but c'mon...it's a little ridiculous sometimes. Also, what if you just like the goofyness of a bootleg's paintjob like these DBZ SBC figures and the sort that come out of Chinatown? If you bought the originals first, I still don't understand the issue.

If you have a near complete set of Editions Atlas I'd love to see comparison/group pics just like what you did with the Mexican bootlegs! I have 56 Atlas and about 30 DeAgostini. I will shoot photos of the two groups I have seperately, and then can do some side by side comparisson group shots to limit the number of photo uploads. In response to ccgcollector's recent comment... I absolutely agree as deceptive selling tactics are just wrong and I don't support that. On eBay when I list authentic merchandise and then a few KO figures accurately titling and describing them as such, and get a message that includes... "I won't do business with someone who sells knockoffs" or "what you're doing is wrong and I don't support you a seller." OK, so you're mad because I cater to specific group of collectors and honestly inform those who aren't familiar? I just don't get that "holier than thou" attitude regarding something as trivial as action figures.

That's strange, because I resell the extra bootlegs I buy (they usually come in sets) and I always say they are bootlegs in the title, and I've never, ever gotten harassed by anybody in a message. And that's with doing eBay for over ten years.
Looking forward to the Atlas pics! I have what I believe is a full set of DeAgostini and have maybe 5 to 10 Atlas.
