I stumbled upon that recently too. Nowhere on the site does it indicate Spencer is connected with it and the domain isn't even registered in the same city as agesthreeandup.com. His level of shadiness just increased IMO. Hasbro wouldn't look to kindly on him sidestepping that C&D | |

I don't think there's any significant enough difference to be able to spot them on ebay but at least once you get them in your hands you'll be able to log a complaint. I DON'T ASK FOR MUCH

I decided to pull out my metal-toed original (left) and bootleg (right). The bootleg has had Rumble (well, Frenzy according to reprolabels.com) applied, so don't pay attention to them.
Notice the obvious difference in the rivets. The plastic color difference may not be as apparent, but the bootleg has a lighter shade. 
The original has light blue hips, while the bootleg has dark blue. 
The elbows and feet are super-chromed on the bootleg. The silver face paint on the bootleg is shinier as well. I don't think it shows up in the picture, but the original has fairly detailed hands while the bootlegs lacks this detail. 
Lastly, giving the two a shake test, the bootleg is super rattly while the original feels nice and solid | |

I don't have any of the newer knock offs, I was wondering how tight these are and if they are worth the $80 asked on ebay.  | |
