Bootleg KO DX Geed Claw ( Ultraman Geed Series )
Costs about SGD13. Rumour has it that this company called Sunday has since closed down, or being shut down, not sure. My guess is that probably it copies too close to the original one and caught the attention of Bandai, perhaps... just speculation... It is almost identical, except for the following difference:
(1) need to press the trigger 3 times or more to activate "Cockscrew Jamming" if is following immediately after activating "Claw Cutting". Else just need to press trigger 2 times.
(2) Trigger needs to press down fully to activate attack sound whereas original one seem to be able to press halfway to activate attack sound, i.e. without spinning the claws. (as seen in some review videos)
(3) Sound quality is not as good when compared to that in some review videos.
(4) Spinning gimmick is not as smooth (as seen in some review videos)
Overall, a very good bootleg.
Bootleg KO SH Figuarts Manga / Anime Ultraman - Special Version
Cost about SGD24... It is a bootleg version. It is quite badly done. Its right shoulder joint was badly molded and took hours to finally repair it. Chest ball joint can't seem to plug into the socket properly and pops out easily when posing. And many more. But it makes a good display. And that is probably why I bought it in the first place. But will not recommend this one if u intend to change its pose often.

Bootleg KO DX Jikan Girade ( Kamen Rider Zi-O Zio )
In the past, bootleggers used to KO these tokusatsu role-play toys with different sounds that are cheapo, cheezy and terrible. Nowadays, they seem to have upgrade themselves and included some of the original sounds and sometimes even the functions of the DX toys they KO. In this case, the toy does not pronounce the finisher names, which I think is more logical. Have since made these changes after shooting the video: (1) added a power on-off switch (2) replaced laser pointer with a red LED for safety (3) added a sound cut-off switch to mute the chinese pronunciation of the henshin state when I don't feel like listening to it (4) remove the tab that pushes the KO ridewatch to activate the ridewatch light so as to accommodate other authentic ridewatches.

Bootleg KO DX Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur 奥特曼 Ultraman Orb Series
The latest KO of the DX Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur to surface, despite Ultraman Orb being quite an old series now... This latest bootleg/KO caught my attention as it has the elemental attacks (less name-annoucements) as well as the transformation sound and light-sequence to Ultraman Orb Origin. A bit disappointed the Orb Supreme Calibur attack is not included. The blade is all hard plastic without revealing hollowness, unlike the authentic version. Both versions have the Dark wheel (with black paint), elemental word-characters and not symbols, and simplified tip at handles. Wheel spinning is very in-sensitive as somehow sometimes the switch is not pressed when wheel is spun, will probably open up to see. Light is a bit dim too, hopefully can be rectified. Overall, a very good enough Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur for me to display already. Cost approximately SGD12 - each.
