I was searching for alter Azusa on Ebay to compare prices, and I found this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Anime-K-ON-Azusa-Nakano-Guitar-Alter-PVC-Sexy-Figure-/220656304309?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_2787wt_911
Haha, Azunyan for only $30 with free shipping sounds to good to be true, right?
Who thinks this is a bootleg, and that Azusa's fame finally got her a fake replica?
Now I found a fake Mio! From the same user. Has to be a bootleg for that price, plus the seller comes from Hong Kong and never mentions "Made by Alter" in his/her description :/
Yes,

Link don't work for me D:
Is it an article about the bootlegs? When did bootlegs suddenly reach thousands, because that user sells almost every figma and MANY PVCs from GSC and Alter 0.0
links dont work?? strange.
myfigurecollection it's a good website with good information about anime figures!
bootlegs from china is like a disease since everything is manufactured there!
For me ebay = never more. I got really scammed with some crap bootlegs.
When is too cheap is strange!!
As a rule, I never trust anything on ebay that ships from Hong Kong or China. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
This is very true... I've never got a bootleg by using this rule in ebay...
lol, 6 bootleg azusa figures has been already sold if you take a look at the ebay link Akirai posted.
i didn't know that figure had a bootleg version until now.
EVERYTHING has bootlegs...
i meant to say "Azusa figure" aka "that figure". ^ ^;;
but yeah, bootleg dominates ebay.
So sad that even she has been bootlegged.
Never buy anything from china on eBay, ever, under any circumstances, period.
Correction: Never buy anything from Chinese retailers on eBay, no matter the circumstance.
Chinese USERS are still ok. I'm Chinese and ashamed at my country's infamous speed of counterfeiting everything.
well, it's not like bootleggers in China represent the China itself. plus, there are some Chinese retailers on eBay who sells only the authentic versions.
Like how others say, don't buy figures from China on ebay. "It's too good to be true.
Yes, those bootleg came out before the official release.
Saw those in a shop too.
The mold is totally similar with the original but the paint kinda oily.
Maybe they should be reported? I have reported a BRS figure that was so bootleg before.
azusa box has a sticker... is it real or bootleg?
