WildPigeons • 5 months ago • #120268094View spoilerHide spoilerAre bootlegs really that bad? I once got two figures (one bootleg, one original) and I don't really see a difference between them, sometimes bootleg save you money for some expressive figure (example: I want to buy a figure 1 for 300$, but I also like limited figure 2 for 200$ so for figure 2 I'll buy a bootleg what looks like the original and the figure 1 I'll buy original.) Seriously, stop be like some little children who are arguing about who have better stuffs. Bootlegs deverse love too. Imagine being a bootleg, unloved, unwanted, threw into trash...
This club should be deleted, seriously, anyone who have bootlegs gonna feel absoulety sad. I collect original characters, but sometimes I collect some bootlegs because I have seriously many figures so I don't really have something to collect.
I don't care if you gonna hate me or something, I needed to say it :P.is this a bait comment? I’m not gonna argue with u in the morality of bootlegs, but they’re literally illegal by definition. And basically exist to scam people for easy profit. Whether u buy them or not is your choice, and I’m not gonna judge you for it, a lot of people on the site buy bootlegs and they’re doing completely fine. but this club is extremely helpful for collectors who want to know if they’ve potentially been duped, or if some certain figures may have bootlegs or not. It’s helpful to improve the database. No one is being like children, figures are a luxury, and it sucks when people are taken advantage of and accidentally buy a bootleg when they thought they were buying the authentic item. The club is great for the community and especially newer collectors, who may want to be educated so that they don’t get scammed.

And yes a lot of bootlegs are really that bad lol. Even some of the not awful looking ones still pale in comparison to the original. Though it seems they’re improving, I’ve seen that a lot of bootleg bunny figures are becoming close to the originals. But anyways, this club isn’t really meant to make people that purposefully buy bootlegs feel sad. like I said, it’s very helpful to the community

steefani • 6 months ago • #118596533That's what I thought.
She bought it on Aliexpress and the title of the ad said "genuine", however the same store sells several pre-painted figures.
She paid a lower price with no box and second hand, but I found it very strange, her hair is black and not dark blue like the original figure, and it really looks like it was painted, but overall the figure is very identical to the original. Maybe it's a good replica? Idk man, but even the fishnets are perfect.Yes this is also a possibility it can be either a changed figure (hence the reason why the head goes off) with changed paint or as i said just a bad quality figure. Is it the same black base with glitter? Then it seems to be legit, the rest looks real too.
Alieexpress has genuine figures but it depends on the seller.
