Fake Ciel Nendoroid
Sun 2011/01/09 10:53 JST
Just yesterday, a package arrived in the mail. I was so excited to open the Ciel nendoroid I had bought online. Unfortunately, I think it is a bootleg and would like you guys to help me decide if it is or not. It wasn't one of those bootlegs that are so obvious that they are fake, though I am pretty sure it is.

sorry but it seems so
the paint has many blemishes and marks on it, and the plastic looks shinier than usual ;_;
definitely bootleg.
paint is off
scratch, dents and dusts.
nendoroids
with "shiny plastic look"
is a bootleg ToT , I have the original nendo of ciel and the cuality is more better ^^ .
The best way to check is the base ...if it only reads MADE IN CHINA and nothing else its a bootleg. The bootlegs never come with copyright text
Could be just me but that looks really weird. o.o
Yeah, it does. One of the pegs is really long so the head sticks out. Of course, it's not supposed to be like that.
Bootleg.
bootleg
Green! Yuck!
bootlegs these days are getting worser & worser xD
EEks! Bootlegs are spreading! i am pretty scared of buying some popular stuff online via ebay as most of it are bootlegs.TT.
Welcome to the club........:(
That paintjob is shocking. Bootleg for sure.
Sorry to break it to you, but it's definitely a bootleg. :(
If you're still interested in getting the real Ciel nendoroid though, you can find him sometimes on sites like Mandarake: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/ja/item_s-502436.html
(sorry the page is in Japanese, but they do ship to America! This one has been opened but it comes with a postcard )
Yep sorry, it's a bootleg. The bootleggers seem to be releasing the newer nendoroid releases sooner than I thought...
its green o_o
thats quite a long neck you have thar, sir :O
I just started collecting nendos and when I got my first one in yesterday (konata) it looked like this one too. The Hair would not stay together and was badly painted, the uniform had a bad paint job, and the base looked exactly like this one. I guess this means I got a fake too... dang...
the poor painting job and the base tells that this is definitely a bootleg. did you pay the original price for this?
Well, I payed 20$ USD for it, so, yes, it was lower than the original price. It sucks because the person who I bought it from doesn't accept returns.
I bought mine for about ~55USD a couple weeks ago from amazon (my first Nendo), I thought these types of not-so-obvious-bootlegs for Ciel were non-existent! >_<; (Luckily mine was official)
I hope you find a real bocchan soon. ):
I remember buying figmas off of ebay, not knowing that they were fake.So I end up getting 3 of them that were fake so, I asked an friend about my figmas, and he told they were all fake and boy I was not to happy. I end up giving them away to my friends I told them the were fake but they didnt care.
Give Me break I didnt know any thing about figmas I was still a noob. Now I know and knowing is half the battle lol
crap paint quality and coloring and missing the rings on his hand
coloring is too dirty, hair's not smooth enough and the line above his eye is too thick. the hair ends aren't sharp enough either and the plastic is not a high good quality.
GSC PVC doesn't have this type of sheen to it.
