Really? Looking up "bootleg" on Wikipedia redirects me to counterfeit merchandise, which is explained as "To counterfeit means to imitate something. Counterfeit products are fakes or unauthorized replicas of the real product."
So how can this be a bootleg if there's no real product it replicates? As far as I know, there aren't any 1/6 scale cloth Ranger figures.
Aren't "bootlegs" what a collector would call a "Knockoff / KO"?
When a Transformers fan says 3rd Party they mean "3rd Party Unlicensed," I think. Because unique items which are not directly based on an existing product aren't bootlegs or knockoffs. It's an unlicensed use of copyrighted ideas. And they avoid legal actions by not using trademarked symbols or names to make it harder to work against them.
So looking at these figures I'd say they are unlicensed 3rd Party figures. Not bootlegs knockoffs since they didn't copy existing figures.
I don't know, maybe it's splitting hairs, I'm just interested in this because I wouldn't call a unique figure a bootleg just because it uses an existing design.
