These are knockoffs of intellectual property theft. It's a dose of their own poison. Some hilariously insane responses from elsewhere:
"My issue with ripping off other 3rd party groups is a simple one. You knock off Hasbro, ya it sucks but truth is, who cares. We the collectors make up 10% and KO's only effect 10% of their sales group. Of that 10% I would be surprised if more than 10% buy KOs so KO's only effect about 1% of Hasbro's total potential sales."
"I just think its a crap thing to steal from 3rd party and Garage Kit makers."
"I'm not into the KO companies that knock off 3rd party products. It could be hypocritical of me, but it's one thing to infringe IP on the big guy, it's a completely different thing when companies go after the little guy."
