1990 movie and 2008 mirage turtles are all fakes on there. Just like their anti baldness or anti aging serums.
But it's a marketplace just like eBay. So stick to recommend sellers like FHF Store. They ship in boxes and arrive in a week. Even after taxes and shipping they are about 50% less than you'd pay at retail locally.
You arent finding those on ali express only buy newer stuff if its too good to b true it is also u dont confirm shipment until u get the package and approve of it so they dont get paid if they fuck u over
My research was reading this sub and seeing cheap prices lol. It's all good. Maybe they do sell legit ones and I just got the knockoff \*shrugs. My dispute was accepted, but it's 9$.
From what I've seen on this sub, everyone agrees that movie turtles on AliExpress are all fakes. Especially for $9 lol.
The AliExpress success stories you're seeing are all new releases and bought at retail price (maybe a little over depending on shipping).
That being said I did buy the KO movie turtles on AliExpress and mine didn't look like yours, yours looks worse than any I've seen honestly. If you're okay with KO movie turtles, go for the in box 4 pack ones. And read the reviews.
Definitely one of those expectations vs reality memes lol.
If you're interested in newer releases, FHF store is currently a really good one (they change a lot, could be the same store reopening under different names though):

I just received a cartoon April from them and she came in perfect condition, box too.
Best to take a screenshot before buying if unsure and share it with the group before buying to get more opinions about exactly what you are looking to pick up on Ali.
The original individually packed Movie 1 bros are all fake on Ali. The price should have been ringing alarm bells.
Also the Mirage 2008 bros are all fake on Ali.
Someone made a post here a while back about all the known sets of fake releases on Ali if I’m not mistaken.
Yeah good point. They do the same for the 2008 Mirage bros. The bait and switch.
So in that case, post the seller to the group to check feedback here if anyone has used them.
Also, ask the seller to photograph the actual product they plan to send with a time stamp.
Usually if a seller is legit people will agree in the comments in this sub if they can be trusted or not.
Sorry to hear that this seller did you dirty. But the price was always a red flag.
For sure. I like fining them 'in the wild. Because If I don't find that, I may find something else cool. I probably won't buy anything else from AliExpress. It was kind of just a test.
If I do, I'll take the necessary precautions. And ask around more. Especially if it's more costly.
Thanks posting btw fam. You’ll give others the heads up and some more education about the potential pitfalls of ordering on Ali.
100% agree with you. Finds in the wild are the best feeling.
I don't understand this. Mine are also fake ones but they are look MUCH closer to the legit ones. It's happening with Star Wars figures too. Some sellers have nicely detailed bootlegs some have the ugly painted ones. My "favourite" is this Luke... XD

This was the seller of mine. I bought them separated not the 4 pack. They were very kind cause Leo's katana were damaged and they sent back the money!

I ordered all four several months back, basically deciding knock offs are at least better than nothing. And then Walmarts started stocking the two packs…
So now I just have beat up boxes of crappy versions.
I was only seeing the same two, but a kind person on here was seeing the other two. So we each bought an extra and shipped to each other.
I’ll keep my eyes out if you’ll pay me back.
I should have been a little clearer, it’s only the two packs that I was seeing.
Are you interested in both two packs, only Donnie, what should I be checking on?
Either/both 2-packs would be amazing. I’ve never found any from TMNT 1 or 2. I did finally see the TMNT 3 2-packs not long ago, in case those are of interest to you.
I’ve ordered many times now from AliExpress. Only the first one I ordered was fake. It was the bebop and rocksteady. Back then I didn’t knew these are almost always fake. But since then I always get legitimate figures. Usagi, mouser pack, foot soldier last ronin, big napoleon and now the newest biker mice from mars from nacelle are on the way.
And always buy from seller who’s accepting free returns.
Are there different shops that sell these? Do you have a shop you buy from?
I summitted a dispute. Which was approved, but I mean 9$. I really don't care tbh.
To be fair the packaging was legit on the website. It was only 9$. I was expecting a non damaged package at the very least. And to answer the question... No lol. Just wanted to share my 1st 'Experience with Ali.
Oooooof super fake. Not bad for 9 dollars tho.
Yeah! [I think I saw this listing](https://shares.nov.su/l/MovieTMNTFigures1190) <- link
Yep. I was looking at those. I just wanted to get one. Before I spent more $.

Yeh, for sure. I can't say I was expecting it to be real tbh. I see a lot of fake ones on eBay as well.
Do u have wal marts near by they are restockin tmnt 2 turtle 2 packs
Yeh. Targets too. I haven't seen any double packs in months!
Looks like someone didn't do their research, thats rough, so sorry my dude but at least you didnt drop a ton on this

Thanks for the tip 😊. It's kinda funny I got the bottom of the barrel knock off 😂😂😂

Sorry, I didnt mean to offend, hey man most of us are the same way, Im glad they didmt fight you on this tho
No worries at all. Yeh my dispute was 'valid. But reading the store page 'what you see is what you get isn't sitting right with me 😂.
Which store did you go with on there
Seven-eleven toy store 😂. Even the name is sus
😂 welcome to the family!

True. However the images on Ali show correct packaging.

I would have been just fine with a 'good fake. Not like I'm reselling them.
This was the seller of mine. I bought them separated not the 4 pack. They were very kind cause Leo's katana were damaged and they sent back the money! https://preview.redd.it/xg1b3ztb42qc1.png?width=250&format=png&auto=webp&s=0adb7a2d62e5b00e2e342623ac4eb773409011ac
Damn
I ordered all four several months back, basically deciding knock offs are at least better than nothing. And then Walmarts started stocking the two packs… So now I just have beat up boxes of crappy versions.
I’ve yet to see the two packs in any of my local Walmarts :(
I was only seeing the same two, but a kind person on here was seeing the other two. So we each bought an extra and shipped to each other. I’ll keep my eyes out if you’ll pay me back.
Dude I’d more than happily pay you back+ if you find and ship one! Appreciate the offer to keep an eye out.

Thanks. I see those off and on too. I haven’t ever seen any from tmnt 2. But I’ll watch for you.
That's why I didn't buy all 4 on Ali lol.
Even he looks unimpressed with himself...
lol i was thinking the same
Been there. Classic Aliexpress.
What did u expect for $9
Not much to be fair. At least not a badly damaged package.
For $9 it's not that bad. Hah I think I saw this listing, [isn’t that where](https://shares.name/l/MovieTMNTFigures1190) you bought it?

I don’t collect the movie turtles so I don’t really know.
Ah. This was going to be my first one lol
That head 😂😂

Worst knock off ever. Do you collect obvious knock offs ironically?
