So these guys st the factory moonlight and use Takara Tomy's MP10 molds to make the KOs? That is bad. Every time you use the mold you're wearing it out little by little. So down the line when they re issue MP10, it's going to to have problems. And for what? Subpar KOs?

I don't condone copying. The only time I think third party stuff is ok is if you take something and improve on it or change it to make it different.

E.g. Igear's copy of the MP01 mold...basically copying it and reducing it in size to fit the classics universe scale. In many ways, Takara Tomy is only stepping up its game thanks to all these third party companies releasing great products. And I absolutely love it. But not blatant rip off copies! That's just bad for this hobby.
