| After browsing eBay USA I came across some US Yowies which were coming from China, I had a look at them because I love Yowie figures. I noticed that these figures were incredibly poorly painted and that is why I thought they were knock offs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-pcs-Yowie-Mini-Wild-Animal-Figure-Toy-Educational-Animal-PVC-Model/283636066260?hash=item420a06e7d4:g:zO0AAOSwt5dbYn2S _________________  ADAM "Our planet is in crisis.

| those Yowies look good to me. Maybe it is poor photography. A couple have scratches; maybe they were played with before. |

| Some of them are "different", the horned guan's horn is black there and should be red, the hippo is a solid purpley red when it should have graded shading, and gray wolf seems lighter gray. So maybe knockoffs? Maybe customs? Maybe originals that have unique paintings? (Some figures I've come across have paint job variation) _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Yeah, they might just have been played with a lot and the paint came off _________________ ADAM "Our planet is in crisis. The monster of this earth, is not a tiger nor a lion or shark. It's us we've destroyed the planet." (My own quote) |

| Not erverything from China is a knock-off  They seem okay for me and I think they were used or played before, too. But the description says: brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item (including handmade items) what seems not to be the case. |
