Even twenty years ago when I was still doing the tournament and painting circuit, a ton of people used bootleg and third party miniatures. Only time you didn't see it everywhere was official stuff since GW banned it from official play like the turbofags they are.
Outside of say, Golden Demon competition? Everyone was using knock offs.

Tbh I kbew a guy that's been featured in white dwarf and displayed in Nottingham Warhammer world.
His entire army is from chyna. Either the stuffs so good now GeeDubs can't tell the difference or as I suspect, he was sucking off the judges.
If they openly took bribes in the 90s I can't imagine it got better.
Were they any good, though? The 3D printed stuff? Or are we talking Chinese imitation from actual factories?
In the 90s it was Chinese knock offs yeah.
