This is another one of those bootlegs that if you don't know exactly what to look for, you're going to think it's a real release.

At right we have what appears to be a legit X-Men: X-Force toy from Toybiz. The card is bright, the printing is high-quality, and the bubble has the correct shape size, and feel, even down to the embossed X-pattern on the front of the bubble.

But, if you know your X-Force toys, you're going to notice one or two changes.

For starters, the card is just a touch smaller than the legal releases. And all of the ToyBiz logos and copyrights have been removed.

Also, the J-Hook style hanger has been replaced with a simple punch-out.

Moving to the back of the card (Shown at left), there are some more changes that, while looking entirely proper, aren't exactly what was sold at Wal-Mart.

For starters, the backboard has been changed from a unique backer for each character to a style that has all the figures in the assortment shown.

At this point the warning bells should be going off...all of them screaming:

• Commando
• Cable
• Black Tom
• Avalanche
• Exodus

Below is a detail of one of the bio-cards from the back of the bootleg packaging. Two of the bios, Mojo and Commando, were re-typed to fit the unified design of the packaging. This resulted in some very odd spelling, as seen here.

Here are closer looks at five of the six figures in this set. (Assuming Mojo exists, that is.) All figures come with the correct accessories.
