Body: <p>I bought 3 mini figures from Amazon because I wanted specific mini figures and did not want to spend $30 plus doing so with bag ordering and opening. I got the figures and they look authentic. </p>
  
  <p>The LEGO logos are on the nub of the torso and the little bridge part of the legs. However, not on the bottom of the legs.  I have 20 something minifigures that I opened from bags, they all have the logo on the bottom of the legs.  So I'm a little confused by it?</p>
