Hulk vs Spiderman statue counterfeit?

Hey guys, I just saw this on ebay and was wondering your opinions on if it was legit or not?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/13-The-Hulk-...item2edaaa2122

I'm wondering because the seller says "Hot toys" instead of Sideshow, and says he has 6 on sale.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Yea, I looked through their reviews and they are blatantly falsely inflated with 5cent sales.

Anything I see anything that looks exactly like what another company has, but is not from that company, and then is based in the Asian area (China, Singapore, etc). I always assume the worst.

So what would this thing be made of? Would it still look fine? Just wondering what exactly counterfeits are like in the statue hobby.

believe it or not these counterfeits are sometimes just as amazing as the original especially when i comes to kits. i've seen some counterfeit kits and there paintjob is better then the original. while it is not morally right i am amazed that these statues look just like the real ones. granted the paintjob is bad on that hulk vs spiderman the details of the original are still there. i bet if he had done the paintjob better it would sell.
