⚠️ Warning: An online store is selling fake figures, with comparison photos attached

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

Last month, I bought a figure from an online store, but after it arrived, the quality felt off. After comparing it with a genuine one owned by a friend, I confirmed it was a fake.

【How to identify】
1. The printing quality on the packaging is noticeably poor.
2. There are obvious color discrepancies and paint bleeding.
3. It feels too light (different materials used).
4. The base connection is loose.
5. It lacks the official anti-counterfeit sticker.

I have already contacted the merchant to request a refund. A reminder to everyone: be careful with figures that are priced too low, especially popular models from ALTER and GSC. Have any of you had experiences with buying fakes?

The problem of fake figures has existed for a long time. But in recent years, the fakes have become increasingly realistic, so you really need to be careful.

Thanks for the heads-up! I almost fell for it too. Prices being too low is definitely the first warning sign.

Long-established shops in Sino Centre are generally authentic. However, you should be careful with street stalls and night markets.

A note from a fellow figure hunter: A genuine ALTER 1/7 scale figure typically costs $1200-2000; if someone is selling it for under $500, it is basically a bootleg.

From a figure photographer's perspective: the paint job on bootleg figures becomes obvious as soon as you take a photo. The gradients and shading techniques on authentic figures are something knockoffs simply cannot replicate.

The biggest fear for beginners is buying fakes. This post should be pinned!

From a purchasing agent's perspective: you must check the store's ratings and history before buying. A newly opened store selling popular items at super low prices is definitely a scam.

I suggest everyone check MFC (MyFigureCollection) for official photos as a reference before buying figures.

For Sino Centre, which shops are the most reliable? I want to know which stores I can buy from with peace of mind.

Financial planners agree! The saying "you get what you pay for" is 100% true in the figure market.

My friend once bought a fake GSC Nendoroid. The disappointment the moment they opened the package was real.
