Hello,

Fond these in a bulk lot a while ago, was sure they were badly made counterfeit
figs. They are all one single mold and have no movable parts.

Then a friend of mine stopped by and looked a bit closer - and actually he found
that under the feet they are molded with whats looks like "C) and LEGO".
A bit hard to tell 100 % but at least four of them have pretty clear LEGO marking.

Usually counterfeit parts do not have the word LEGO marked.

Anyone else have seen them and may know what they are?

Thanks for any insight,

/Niclas

Some of them look like njo032 and njo041, but damaged/melted.

They are all made in a rubber-ish material, one mold and single color and then
printed.

Someone took legit minifigs, made moulds with them, and then made copies that
they painted?

The hands look moulded (look at the thickness of the inner side) but the legs
would not be hollow if molded, and the detail on the logo in the legs is too
good.

Either way, they need to go in the bin.

Feedback from seller that is trying to list these parts:


Really bad shape, bite marks, pale, some where good used parts others not

Considers wrinkly, torn & ripped instructions "good". Not in my world,
dude!

Took nearly two months to arrive, much of the pieces were worn with scratches.

2335p30 very broke 6126 missing

Listing not accurate, parts in used condition listed as new, be careful ! T&M

Sorry but what are you doing? I'm not trying to list these figs - just curious
where the came from. Don't know what you're up to but just stop.

Do they come apart? Can you take the helmet off of the head and the head off
of the torso?

I wonder if the pieces underneath look normal.

No they do not come apart - it's a single mold.
