Thus, the coins are different and the helmets just slightly different.

Why don't we just call them what they are, bootlegs.

A real third party product is licensed, hence the whole third party thing to denote it's separate from the official product but not consumer-made, but still legally produced. Those TF Prime-1 statues for example or real third party, Peru Kill is not. I know TF fans don't like calling them bootlegs but that's what they are, and that's what these are.

EDIT: And for clarity, there's nothing "wrong" with bootlegs. They're just bootlegs, albeit high quality. Like these. I own "Third Party" bootlegs TFs myself, but I fee it's like some kind of subtle insecurity that TF fans don't want to acknowledge that they are what they are, and would rather pretend they're something they're not. Just own it and be done with it. It's like calling extortion "exchange of sensitive material for favours" or murder "encouragement of unlife" or something.
