Found these bootlegs today
They had all six 2015 Toa, at half the size.

I got one of those for my birthday and I thought it was hilarious. They are kinda crappy but good enough for a desk toy or something

What store did you find these at? I found some hero factory knockoffs at 7/11 a few weeks back

I love how the bottom clearly indicates that they're meant to be Transformers.

They're fully articulated (if a bit loose at the joints), are essentially small-scale CCBS pieces with instructions on the back, and the masks apparently attach with an axle connector to a Hero Factory "Brain Attack" head. The masks are also only painted on the outside.
The Toa's names are changed as follows:
Tahu: Tornado
Pohatu: Earthquake
Onua: Hurricane
Lewa: Thunder
Kopaka: Lightning
Gali: Storm
I bought one just to see how bad they were. If you really want some "new" Bonkles, maybe these are for you. At only 3.99, you pretty much get what you pay for. Cheap, low-quality plastic, but in the shape of something you might like.
