You really can't tell the difference unless you have them both and compare them side by side. Thanks for this informative video. It helps people not to get scammed.
Right? I actually got the fake one because im broke, and honestly the main difference is the paint job and the face. Still the original one looks better, but the difference is not that big The one i got was 40 bucks tho and the face is much better than the fake one in tenha’s video. Ofc ill get the original one once i can actually afford it.
Some pointers I look for when determining if a figure is real or not: - Fakes, usually have a weird finish coating. So when you run your finger on the surface, it'll drag instead of moving through smoothly. - colors (like Tenha says) on fakes are dull. - pay attention to small accessories on the figure like ear rings, belts, sword hilt, etc. Fakes usually place all effort in one place, mainly the face. Then, just leave a lot of the small accessories to be bland or lack in detail. - if the figure looks even slightly off from the promo pics. It's fake. Edit: I realized if it's in a box. you wouldn't be able to analyze some of the points. So here's some tips. - look if the box contains the IP holder's logo. (In this case MiHoyo) - pay attention of the ink quality of the box. - research if it has an official launch and not just some random 3rd party making their own version of the figures. - cheap, is a big red flag.
Also the price, if something is too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true. Although for $20, the fake one isn't too bad, with a bit of DIY it should be able to fix most of the paint issues.
i didn't realize fake figures were this good. I got told that a Remilia scarlet figure i bought for $35-$40 was probably fake just based on the price i paid (real one was going for 150-200 iirc). I tried to look at mine vs pic of real ones and couldn't tell a difference so i really doubted it. but seeing this is like yeah it probably is fake, still kinda worth it tho.
I don't like to own a lot of figures. So when I do buy a klee figure (my favorite genshin character), I definitely want the real one. Thanks for the comparison!
yeah except russia because we are in this crazy SiTuAtIoN here for 2 years soon...unfortunately :(. so we use people with knowledge like proxy guys, different deliveries from different cuntries but it is expensive in the end as f... so I am leavin this hobby for I don't know how many years. anyways I don't have enough space already xd aaand our local geek shops are trying to have some official merch but butlegs are prevail as always >_< @@apetsu
the difference of the fake and real is, the details coloring...also if its for display for people to admire i would display the fake one and safeguard the real, to avoid heartache XD
7:43 The face looks funny because the distance between her right eye to her mouth is a lot closer than the other side of her face. And the jagged edges all around the fake figure def gives it away.
Nice like this new format and really informative when I want to buy the figure at market. But now my problem is money T T. Looking forward to the next figure video Tenha.
720p yet the nintendo switch is a big success and didn't need 4k so honestly for $20 over $150+ I'd very happily take that 720p Klee hands down. Still great quality the price using your metaphor lol. I mean even the friend of his didn't know it was a bootleg until he read the article.
Really like these unboxing vids hope you do more real vs fake figures! This is making me want to get genshin merch...I picked up a fake chibi venti in chinatown and had to re-glue the flower on his hat but otherwise it was a decent fake for $3
I've nabbed a fake Klee before off aliexpress, but as you said not too shabby for 20$. Personally I don't mind the better fakes, because I'm not gonna shell out like 200$ for a figurine, I honestly just can't justify it cost wise for a single figure. Like I'll spend the 20$, but the 180$ (or in this case 130$) goes for normal life stuff like gas, mortgage, etc. I love the comparison video though! You should definitely do more of the contrasts between the real and fake versions. Ninguang's fake is missing a ton of the stuff, and you'll see little painting mistakes too. There's also some kickass other stuff on there. Like I picked up a 5 kasen screen that's super dope, not aware of hoyo even making that officially.
I think it makes easier to accept if you buy like once a year or every 6 months and it's money that you saved for luxury sake, but if you want a lot of figures it's hard to justify this range of price. While I don't have the option of buying such figures I just can't bring myself to buy a fake one, and too much figures can get out of hand even for people with a lot of space so at least this way I may guarantee some control on that aspect.
@@ShotterGames Oh for sure, for me it's more of a perspective thing. I find it pretty difficult to justify spending on myself, usually I'm arguing with myself from a utility standpoint, like I clearly need a new for my computer here. Figures are harder because it's like oh nice anime art thing I like to look at sometimes. Also no Fischl figurine. Like come on Hoyo. Seriously. I'd HAVE to buy a fake of Fischl last I looked. Hell I've only ever even seen one, 3d printed, and I'd have to paint it myself, and if I'm buying all those paints, well now it's time to get back into printing more minis, and that's a whole thing.
Just be careful because fake figures are known to use materials that are not safe and can make you sick, cause bad reactions and have carcinogens in them
I'd honestly get the 20$ fake instead, and then buy some figure paint to correct the smaller blemishes. For as detailed as it is, that Klee figure would not be worth 150$ to me, and that's without shipping and taxes.
@@TenhaGenshin Really?! The only offers I had seen were starting at even higher than 150$. Where did you get yours? I mainly shop at amiami, and I don't know much about alternatives.
I noticed on the fake one, the back is all Japanese words where as the real one has Chinese words It’s good to see the review. If I see the real one I’ll buy it. But I hope I don’t come across the fake one but scamming people for $100 for it
I have collected a few fake figures before even statues, and at one point, I buy real statues and figures. After that day on, I never bought another fake. When you watch a video of comparing the fake and the real one, you will think that the figure is worth the price, but when you own the original, it looks really bad but if you are low on money for some figure I would just recommend to save up and buy the original instead but there also exception too. The thing with fake figures is that it is just the paint job,joint,face. So if you buy a fake, then a figure that has a simple pose and the eyes are close, then it will be much nicer.
This video just convinced me to buy a bootleg Klee. It looks so good. Your friend didn't even notice until they read the article. I'm for sure convinced in getting the bootleg for $20 easy. Seen other bootleg genshin figure compared to real ones and they are so damn nice for fakes. Imagine instead of paying $1000 for 6 figures you pay $100-$150 for 6 of them. Yeah nah I have some real ones from other anime and the fakes ones on this line look clean compared to other bootlegs of others that look just bad. Real ones not worth it unless your a diehard and have to have a real one. Otherwise go for the bootleg at a cheap price.
I could tell as soon as I saw the face. Either a bad paint job or it's a fake. Faces are really hard to replicate, one detail a millimeter out of line, and it will give you the uncanny feeling.
Would be funny is Mihoyo/Hoyoverse is the one selling the fake ones also.. "We can make money off from selling both the high quality and low quality figure, sure why not?"
Can't wait for Ganyu figure ^^. I think if you havent enough money the 20$ version is a really good Option if you want to collect Genshin impact characters. If i had enough money i would buy the Real one too, but that can take a long time.
I collect the Genshin mini figures, and the fakes for all of them (the bushiroad minis, the battlefield series, and the Paimon-food series) are hilariously awful… like, not even close. ☠️ The fake Xiao for the upcoming scale is also… a creation.
The problem is that real ones cost 8 times their fake value lol and you can tell they are not worth it for that price..you can ask an artist to print your own resin personalized characters...in general mihoyo stuff really cost A LOT compared to others merchandise..idk like dragonball stuff you can tell miles away a fake compared to a real one for example you can't copy figuarts style and usually the faces of fakes are so ugly, but genshin figures are identical so it's bad to say they are not doing a really good job if the fakes are so easy to do. Facts
i've seen people repaint figurine's before in a black and white style or to render them into a 3d digital art style and as bad as funding underground knock off producers/scammer is it's never going to go away, so for 20 bucks i'd totally use it as a based since some people can't sculpt, assemble garage kits or have 3d printer abilities to redesign it into a OOAK figure for myself, then mess up all the hard work of the original $150 or more piece of which i'd save to buy at a later date.
The real Klee cost a lot more than 20$, many ppl dont care about fakes, they just want a figure of their favourite character as long as it looks ok they dont mind buying a fake figure for just 20$....
Mate, we need to have a proper long chat about figures xD love this... My friend Shunji here probably has the biggest fake figure collection in the world because he is broke but still wants to horde haha
maybe if difference be between 20$ and 30$ you were right maybe even 20$ and 40$. But OMG 20$ and 150$ u can buy 7 characters looks almost like original but with some little problems or just 1 original figure. But all we know rly peoples who can spend 150$ on figures can buy original. For peoples just like me who extra rare even 20$ can spend on such a thing it will be good enough.
You really can't tell the difference unless you have them both and compare them side by side. Thanks for this informative video. It helps people not to get scammed.
You can obviously tell. A $150 figure would not have all those paint marks and scratches.
I dont think is scam 20$ for the fake is fair enough
@@zippo718 not all fake ones have those paints and scratches
Something that he failed to mention is that the REAL Figures have an manufacturing certificate stamp located either
On the back of the stand or on top
maybe if you never saw $150 figure before
Damn that $20 klee figure is amazing for its price
but the real figure looks SO GOOD
No Bro, it’s terrible. (A figure collector)
@@TenhaGenshin yes but it cost 7,5 times price from the fake one of course it is better 😂
@@AdasiXPresent well its only 20 bucks like i said its good for the price

@@MistikCo I agree. This is probably the best fake figure I've seen so far and for that price, it's not a bad purchase.
The fake figure wouldn't be so huge if the real figures weren't so crazy expensive.
quality equals *your fucking money*
@@myhoang2194 No really

It very clear which is fake if you see it irl, even more clear with close up or touch
not all fakes are good, specifically genshin non official figure bootlegs seem to be pretty alright based off this and the one i have
When fake looks pretty decent you know its a good deals
I don't like to own a lot of figures. So when I do buy a klee figure (my favorite genshin character), I definitely want the real one. Thanks for the comparison!

for a fake figure, you can tell that they at least tried
5:23 "I'm not saying this to support mihoyo in any way" my brother in christ, you have a 500 razer genshin gaming crair.

Good eye!
mad respect for someone who handles his figures with a pair of gloves xD
Hi Tenha, would like to see Keqing unboxing next. Keep up the good work! :)
thank you!!
Maybe it's not fake but product that have not passed/rejected by Mihoyo's QC. Often happen on OEM products.
Keking!
Wow the real one looks soooo much better. Like you said the real klee looks alive where as the fake one looks like a toy.
Nice like this new format and really informative when I want to buy the figure at market. But now my problem is money T T. Looking forward to the next figure video Tenha.
tbh at this point. u made me look for a 20dollar klee
So glad I purchased the real Klee figure during pre-orders
the paint job is sooo diferent. but at 20$ that fake was very good
That is a really good figure for 20$, I don’t care if it’s not authentic
you can also buy the 20$ one and paint on it
The fake klee's box is a little more saturated than the real one.
I could tell because during 1:36 the blue ribbon looks more purple than blue.
the fake looks like 720p while the real one was 4k xD
720p yet the nintendo switch is a big success and didn't need 4k so honestly for $20 over $150+ I'd very happily take that 720p Klee hands down. Still great quality the price using your metaphor lol. I mean even the friend of his didn't know it was a bootleg until he read the article.

They definitely came from the same factory lol. Rejected models due to quality control were probably scavenged and then sold on the side as “fakes”.

The bootleg one looks not bad lol and it is a problem, it is good to know the differences between them, thanks for this video! ❤
I just want a Eula figure, but I haven't found any that looks good.
that fake klee looks so good for a fake figurine, i've seen much much worse on aliexpress lmao
dat Hutao shirt....
dayum :D
The fake one looks like the practiced one.
It's about your heart. The product may be fake , the love is always real
With this said, I still paid more to get the real product, because Klee won't be happy if I bought fake product...
I am such a perfectionist that for me there is a big difference between the figures xD. But still good for the price
I love this new content I would love to see you unbox Keqing next
For the price the fake one is 100% better. And her eyes not always like that, make sure to check real photo before buying.

WHERE DID U BUY THAT KLEE......the fake one..
in my currency its not 130 diffirence but 2448 so it doesnt make sense to save for real one
for a bootleg this is not bad even though I don't like non-articulated figures
My fake Klee actually looked way better than the fake you bought

Not bad looking for a fake..
Keep doing more figure videos hyungnim, fill your whole room with all characters
i love this comparison video !! open keqing next !!
maybe if difference be between 20$ and 30$ you were right maybe even 20$ and 40$.

Same lol and tbh I'm dump to tell the difference between real and fake ones that's why I don't bother with these
They look the same and people probably wouldn't care. Most people would go for a cheaper option.
Thanks for the help, good video. I like the music
what happened to your finger dude....
i'm new to a figure but that $20 Klee is kinda worth to buy (for your lil bro/sis lmao)
Wanna buy this, where can I buy and know it's the original?
Please do unboxing video on keqing figure first.
I saw a fake one in an expedition selling for $55 💀
It's time to touch some Grass fr
I’m looking to get Figurines, but where do you buy yours Tenha?

I would seriously take the $20 since you won't know the different from afar.
I got a real Klee thankfully but yeah beware 2nd hand market, if it's too cheap it is very likely fake!
