Generally Hasbro prints a series of numbers on the backs of legs and sometimes on the bottom of the feet.
More often than not you wont be able to tell a KO from the real deal until its in hand. If the seller is in an Asian market I can almost assure you its a KO.
Some bootlegs turn out great, some mediocre and some are straight up terrible. I bought some Revoltech TMNT bootlegs and id say 2 of 4 are real nice while the other 2 suffer from crappy loose joints and some sloppy paint apps...probably cost me $50 for the set as apposed to $60-$75 per figure for the real ones. I'm fairly satisfied with those figures and the KO Neca TMNT are just as nice as the originals for a fraction of the price (sorry to talk turtles in a star wars thread, but these are bootleg figures I have knowledge on)
It's a roll of the dice, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
