Fake Figmas????

Hi!
I'm from Argentina. Sorry, my English is horrible.. if someone speaks spanish, it will be a HUGE help.

Today, my new figmas arrived at home. But I think they may be fake... ( cuando digo que mi inlges es horrible va en serio.. bueno si no se entendio, aclaro, creo que las figmas que arribaron a mi casa son copias)

Firstly, Konata figma 044 (primero konata figma 044. Voy escribiendo todo en español por si alguien sabe..)

The printing of the box looks bad (la impresión de la caja no es nada buena)

It doesn't contain stikers for the face ( no contiene los stikers para la cara)

The joints are horrible! They don't fit properly. (las articulaciones son horribles!! sobresalen y muchas estan como abiertas..)

And the color of the face is kind of orange! ( y el color de la cara es mas naranja :S )

2! Saber figma!


It doesn't have a playstation 2 cd! ( no contiene el cd de playstation 2!)

The base says "raki suta made in china", just like the base of Konata 044 (la base dice lucky star made in china, al igual q la base de la konata 044)

The joints are not strong enough, in other words when you place the figure in a certain position, it falls. I will add a video for you to understand what I’m saying
(las articulaciones no tienen fuerza, es decir que en donde la acomodo no se mantiene. Agrego un video para que se vea mejor.)

I truly didn’t believe that figmas copies existed... I don’t know if these figures are or are not fake, or maybe it was a bad bunch... But I don’t believe that Good Smile would launch such a low quality bunch of figures. It’s the first time that something like this happens to me, and I have several Figmas because I like them a lot.

(realmente yo no creia que existieran las copias de las figmas.. no se si estas son copias o si son una mala tanda.. pero no creo que good smile saque a la venta una tanda de tan mala calidad. es la primera vez que me pasa, y eso que tengo varias figmas... ya que me gustan mucho.)


I’m looking forward to your comments! I’m sorry for the low quality of the images, they were taken with a Nikon L10... The ones that know the model know it is not really good. I’m going to try finding a professional camera to show you in detail the bad quality of the painting.
(Espero sus comentarios! y lamento la mala calidad de las imagenes.. ya q las fotos las tome con una Nikon L10.. los que conocen el modelo saben q no es muy bueno. Voy a tratar de conseguir una camara profecional para mostrar la mala calidad de la pintura con mas detalle)

      I bought figmas without the hologram in hlj and they were originals :s

      Despite the fact that these figmas do not have the hologram, they joints are really bad and that's what makes me feel doubtful

    My condolences to you for having to go through it, closest I've had to a fake figma was my Kanu Unchou one but then I realized it was more of a factory error, I still decided to sell it.

    Figma joint tend to loose when played very often. Judging from your pics, your figmas is not new (used), is that right?

    Some people also sell Figma Saber Lily witout the game too.

    But let use this easy way to figure it out:
    Does Konata and Saber Lily's hair, clothes (not the armor) and skin color painted glossy? If it does, it might be fake.
    Also, check their eyes paint, glossy or not.

    after looking closer at the photos of your saber lily I can confirm it is a bootleg, well the joints sort of gave it away and the eyes just looked creepy.

    For the stickers..
    I thought mine lacked those as well, but they're hidden in the box behind the cardboard which surround the figure.

    I did a post of bootleg figmas moons ago.
    http://parttimeotaku.blogspot.com/2009/11/fake-figma-saber-lily-comparison-guide.html
    Due from my research, I noticed seller from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippine mostly selling bootleg figure.
    So watch out, and don't fall for cheap price. Btw, can I grab some image from you to post in my blog?

    Avoid online auctions sellers, even those from Hong Kong. However, contrary to some people's thoughts local stores in Hong Kong ARE reliable and OK.

    As shinkawa has mentioned, *if the price is too good to be true, then it's likely to be dodgy* (i.e. liekly to be fake)

          Igual mi amigo volvio a la tienda donde lo compro... y pregunto .
          Le contestaron que la Lily es fake.. pero las konatas no :s
          Q el tema de los stikers puede ser por un error de fabrica.

          Ahora la cuestion es.. creerle o no al vendedor de la tienda XD
