I've not bought any of these before but have liked the look of them for a while, so considered getting some...but I'm a bit confused by the pricing, like the prices on that site posted few comments ago seems very cheap from what I've seen of prices elsewhere? I'm guessing
there's lots of fakes of these figures?

Since the are made in china there;s a lot of savings on buying direct, so they might well not be fakes (plus the chinese govt subsidises shipping to one of the big costs of buying from overseas isn't a major issue here)

you've also got a real posibility of 'extra' production with a factory doing larger runs than they're contacted for and selling off the extra cheap, and items that were rejected for quality control reasons hitting the market

I've yet to encounter knock off JoyToys even buying from the usual "sketchy" suspects like AliBaba and Temu.

So do figures ever get reprinted?

I compromised with myself, and will let myself get one figure representing each of my favorite armies, but the only decent Orks and Necrons seem scalped to hell.

Ork Nob for $170... nah, I am good.

They'll sometimes do reprints, but more often they'll do new versions with some minor improvements(they're on something like the 5th version of Intercessors).
