I have to vote no on this one. 3rd party companies skirting the IP-theft line is one thing, but companies like this...I don't think we should include those products that are blatantly using HasTak designs/molds as a base.
Now, If Wei Jiang makes original toys, not based on anything else, that's fine...those products would be okay to include in the database.
As far as KOs, in general, if we let one in, that opens the floodgates to everything from the god-awful things that Big Lots used to carry years ago in which you'd get lead poisoning just by looking at them, to the high-quality G1 KOs that even mimic every detail, down to the packaging, to the KO Smallest Transformers that you'll find on eBay.
That's not to say some things haven't slipped through the cracks...if I'm not mistaken we have the Justitoys stuff on here. Personally, I don't think those Dinorobot items should be included in the database, as they're miniaturized versions of the Dinobot molds, but maybe they're simplified/changed enough to "count"? I don't know...
Maybe someday these will find a place on the site, but for now, I vote that we should stick to official/"official" stuff.
If we were to include things like this, we need to be very selective about what we would include.
