It's so heartbreaking to see how many people fall for the knock-off fakes. Sometimes that's all they can afford and are excited to get a good deal but get that crap instead. 😔
To be fair, I’ve bought a couple of knock off figures from eBay that have been long discontinued, that did come in a box, but had misspellings on their text, but were , seemingly, perfect. I bought a King of Fighters Kula Diamond figure a couple of years ago, and it was perfect, from paint job, to scale, to accessory. The hair had that fading from darkish blue to light blue and it was just right. Granted, it wasn’t a super complex figure, but it seemed that, quite possibly, the Chinese manufacturer may have just payed the Japanese company for the original molds that they simply wouldn’t use any more anyway.
Another thing I hate about these knock-offs is that they will sometimes artificially inflate their figure and present a slashed priced for "sale" to make it look like a huge discounted price. It's disheartening seeing posts of people getting scammed off of their purchases.
Man, not being a big collector of figures, this was pretty eye opening to me. I would have seen the cheap one, and been like "Yeah, this is great". But man, the quality of the other is leaps and bounds better.
Yeah. I just really hate it when they advertise with the actual figure and then send garbage like the fake figure in the video. But you know if it's too good to be true... lol
Man, honestly this is sad to compare. I am new to the whole anime figures thing, but I am glad that the store near us is selling great quality figures.
That's really cool you have a place that sales good figures. The only store we have here sales knock offs. And they charge over the price of the real figures. It's ridiculous. The only place we have in town for figures that are real is Gamestop and Barnes & Noble.
th-cam.com/video/mXSXhR-nUIo/w-d-xo.html I did a Video on her. The link is in the description in that video. But she is not available you will have to sign up for notifications when riot gets more. Or you would have to buy her 3rd party =/
@@WeebGamerUnboxing I completely agree! The reviews were a mix of good and bad so I took a chance. I still have it but it's kind of hidden behind my better ones.😅
Para aqueles de vocês que pagam em dólares, é fácil comprar um original. Eu quero vê-lo feito vivendo em um país onde o original custa 6x mais (cerca de 30% do meu salário), enquanto o botlag custa apenas 5% do meu salário.
The only thing i can say about the knock off is the pose looks like they tried a little harder even if the body isn't supposed to be shaped that way the expensive one looks like shes not really trying to look seductive So yes cheap one sucks but expensive doesn't fully satisfy either 😢😢😢
@@WeebGamerUnboxing thanks for the heads up :) i asked the seller if it was authentic and got no reply only a discount lmao. I also wanted to ask if i can trust the website for the real figure is on. Never ordered from there before
If you are talking about Solaris Japan then yes absolutely. Most of the figures we get are from them. We finally got an affiliate program with them so If you use our links it really helps us out. But other great sites are AmiAmi, Big bad toy store, Tokyo Otaku Mode and Crunchyroll if you are looking to price match. We just really like Solaris. Plus u earn points if u make an account. Then if u keep buy from Solaris u will earn points for some pretty good discount.
@@WeebGamerUnboxing thanks so much for the help and info! :) was debating on pre ordering it but caved in lol cant wait to get it it really is a beautiful figure it’ll look perfect next to my ikaros one ☺️
I was considering buying the authentic figure but I don't think I will now. The base is too big and too plain. If I'm paying $100+ for a figure I want more than a plain black base.

Yeah it really sucks. I know some of the more exp $50 $60 knock off figures are more to the scale of the real one... but the just look so bad.

Yeah. It's one thing if you know what your getting into. It's another if you are being fooled from false advertising =/
Glad to see your back!!
Ty ty.

Yeah but the figures he has are 15x the price of this one lmao

@@WeebGamerUnboxing Damn man. Only two places for genuine figures sounds really tough to deal with.
I'm interested in that Ahri figure. Where can one get her? 👀

True if you can’t afford scale figures, there are prize figures and pop up parades that are miles better then these bootlegs.
100% agree
I expected a split screen spin to let us judge the crappiness. Im left wanting. Edit: Appreciate the tip on prices.
Oof. The difference is so crazy! I got a fake statue once on Amazon and never again :P I know better now but it was such a bummer.
That sucks. Really the only way to know is reviews. And if the people reviewing the figure posted a picture.

the Knock off looks like havent eaten for a month xD
Lmao

Spent 50 dollars on this figure simply because i didn't know better.
I spent close to 100 dollars in 2015 for what I didn't know was a knock off version of Itachis G.E.M. figure
Ouch. Sorry to hear that 😞
Wow, this knock-off looks incredible, and only 25 dollars!?
where can I get it?
Lol Amazon
@@WeebGamerUnboxing thank you sire❤️.
Incredible? 🤣🤣
To be honest im broke as hell and can only buy a knock off version of albedo
Some ebay sellers sling for about $50. Are they just knock offs as well? Please help as I really want this figure
There is a 99% chance it us a knock off. I have also seen the larger knock off one that looks more like the original and its horrible.

Your welcome! You won't be disappointed she is amazing!
would be cool to see chess piece of this anime
I was considering buying the authentic figure but I don't think I will now.
The base is too big and too plain.
If I'm paying $100+ for a figure I want more than a plain black base.
I feel you. The figure is beautiful. But I am also not a fan of plain stands or bases.
😢 a mi también me llegó igual rota yo compré por facebook y tú dices por 25 dólares no vale la pena a mí me costó 47 dólares 😂 😅
God, it's so bad😂
wow. that knock off is a piece of sh*t lol🤣
Lol it really is!
Only the prices between these figures are BIG DIFERENCE and not everyone can afford the original like 150$ + shipping cost etc vs 15$
