Didn't feel like watching the video, but i wanted to add my 2 cents:
I buy 3rd party items to fill in holes in my MP collection, holes that i don't see Takara filling with official stuff anytime soon. I only buy FT because it keeps my spending under control and the styling similar across the collection. I also want to add that i've never bought, and never will buy, actual knock-offs (copies of stuff HasTak has brought out, even enlarged). I am fine with 3rd party stuff that is inspired by HasTak works but not a direct copy (FT's iron dibots, for instance).
I also have my own rule that i prefer TT MP's over 3P, so if TT comes out with their own Arcee, i will sell Rouge. The exception to this being Grinder because MP Grimlock is simply way too small.

simple

1) :HASBRO: :TAKARATOMY: are 50%
jerks, screw ups, half asses or lazy

2) 3rd party figs are beautiful

3) most of us are all inclusive, so long as we can get what we want.

4) :HASBRO: :TAKARATOMY:
will not or cannot create mass produced, up scaled items for the picky adult collector.

5) Because we can.

Because they satisfy the primal urge to own a representation of a character we love.

I'd wager the division over acceptance of knockoffs is more contentious than the one concerning acceptance of third party products.

Faithful representation at that with a lot of them.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Glarryg

What about acceptance of knock offs of third party stuff? As strange as it is that seems more morally acceptable then going either ko of hasbro product or third party.

Are there any anti-KO threads or groups where I can find collectors that are opposed to KO or 3rd party?

I am very curious as to why you would want to reach out to those people ;)

I need to recruit them for something. ;)

To get 3rd party shut down all they need to do is shine a light on it in a way that angers Chinese netizens using China expat vloggers.
