Bootleg figure proclaiming to be "Mailaway"

[Creature of the Night]

Hi! I know we're not supposed to post eBay links on here, but I felt pretty sure that none of the true collectors on this board would be tricked by this anyway.

But look, one of the "Hasbro" bootleg figures is being described as the Hogan mailaway fig on eBay. Either that or they didn't find out what the figure truly was before auctioning it.

Looks like one poor sucker has already fallen for it too.

Anyway, just thought this was interesting. I hate false advertsing on eBay.

Did you email the seller and let them know, also providing a pic of what the real figure is and info on what his really is?

Classic.

I broke it to the seller (with pics) that he's selling a bootleg...

Hey,

Ha ha, I have that same bootleg in a box downstairs along with a couple of others.

i hate when people do that on ebay....isnt that figure supposed to have brown hair instead of blonde

Well, technically it is a mailaway. You have to mail them a money order, or "cheque" since the seller is in the UK. Then he will mail you your crappy figure that will probably fall apart while in transit.

Well, the guy had no clue and asked me all about it; how to recognise the real deal, are there more bootlegs, who made them.

I educated the guy a little.
