How can you ID knockoff Masterpieces?

I'm looking for the Masterpiece versions of Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen on eBay, but the prices seem to be all over the place. Are some of them knockoffs? How can you tell the difference?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

First clue is often the price. If the price is significantly lower than "normal", it's probably a KO.

Those figures, for a buyer in the U.S., should run you $70 or more, each. Anything less than that, you should be suspicious.

Also, if it's shipping from Hong Kong, you should be suspicious.


Example: $49.99 including FREE SHIPPING ... FROM CHINA... almost certainly a KO: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Ma ... 19eeef4002
