It does have LEGO imprinted on the neck stem. New to minifig collecting, I don't
have much knowledge on custom printing. Seems like alot of work as the legs,
back, and arms are printed.

Printing on back of legs means not genuine LEGO.

Also LEGO doesn't print torsos all the way to the edges

Yeah. That one can be harder to tell but still a good sign if the print does
go all the way.
It is crazy that customizers and some clone brands can print better than LEGO
in that aspect. But I guess this is as the customizers can print torso and legs
together, whereas LEGO does them as individual parts.

There’s also the fact LEGO makes series in the hundreds of thousands, if not
millions, in a very automated way, while customizers do way fewer parts and way
slower.

Yes, although clone brands make huge numbers. For the few I have bought new,
they assemble legs and torsos together although don't attach the arms. That
gives them much better alignment of the prints and allows them to print continuously
across the whole body.
