Default Bootleg ARF's

Has anybody come across a "bootleg" or counterfeit ARF? I just acquired a NIB Kyosho (suposedly) ARF secondhand, and neither the box or manual have "Kyosho" on them. On the decal sheet, all "Kyosho" decals have been cut out.

I am very familiar with what the box and manual should look like, as this is a replacement for an identical Kyosho ARF that I just crashed. The box on my original plane had all kinds of detailed photos and descriptions *printed* on the box. The new box has only a very basic label stuck on the box.

I find this very odd. I wonder if this is a factory reject, or the manufacturer for Kyosho is selling the design as a "no name". Any ideas?
