Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

one must consider WHY these 3rd party products are so popular nowadays. I think, that Hasbro has brought it on themselves - half baked products, needless repaints, poor QC, ridiculous concepts (combiner robots that don't combine at deluxe\voyager size yet work perfectly at the legends scale - as opposed to over sized and priced, underwhelming non transforming Zord like combiners - still pissed at that), have all made fans very unhappy - and willing to pay appropriately for high quality products of their favorite characters.
add this to an expanding global market with easier access of smaller companies to factories in china, and global communication (video calls etc) that make it possible for developers to be scattered all over the place and still produce incredible concepts - and you have a booming 3rd party market.
