Bootleg Minimates?

Issue #103 of Toyfare featured a funny article about bootleg Spiderman toys made in China called Spader-man. The article got me thinking about whether any bootleg Minimates have been made. I haven't seen any, but some collectors believed that the infamous Clear Spiderman Minimates were bootlegged.

However, the Clear Spiderman Minimates seemed to have been some production tests run by AA. You can read about them in Google's cache here. Unfortunately the picture was pulled so newbies like me are left to wonder what they looked like.
