The Molluck one is pretty slick, although whoever painted the Abe one didn't do too good a job. I've never been into do-it-yourself models, personally, otherwise I might give these a try.
Although the website of the company looks rather amateur (layout, color scheme, etc), and that's what worries me more than the fact that they're "bootleg". My cousin tried to buy a Halloween costume from a website with the same made-in-20-minutes-by-a-tenth-grade-html-student look to it, and they took his money and sent him nothing.
Usually I don't worry too much about whether something is a bootleg or not, but I would make an exception in Oddworld's case. They always seem to be uncomfortably on the edge in terms of finances, and I wouldn't want to support something that's draining our chances of seeing another game/movie.
Considering that Lorne and Co. will probably be sending a cease and desist order to that model company any second now, I'd order the thing while it's still available... Although it's not like Oddworld gives us any official merchandise to keep us satisfied.
