Back & White Batman to go with the other 5 in my office at work. Sure, $24.99 shipped from China seems cheap but what they hey.

Well this fellow finally arrived today.

1) Not a single mention of DC Comics or other copyright/trademark mention anywhere on the package.

2) Only the torso is porcelain, the rest is plastic. eBay ad did say it's plastic but the package proudly proclaims "cold cast porcelain"

I'm thinking this is beyond unlicensed. Still looks cool on the shelf.

It's stunning that there are so many Chinese sellers with this kind of stuff now. There are a lot of sellers offering loose action figures probably right out the back door of a factory.

I understand this has been an issue with Hot Toys knockoffs coming from China as well.

I bet most of the figures from China are ones that failed quility control

Yeah, they're not only bootlegging the Hot Toys heads(some are exact casts)...but now they're doing the entire bodies, at a good price too($23.99). But I see it as a good thing because HT have gotten way to expensive. When Wolverine starts selling for $700-1000...you're begging someone to repro them.
