    Nowadays Banpresto’s have become cheap too (especially the ones released before 2022), so I’d definitely recommend people to buy the original ones. Even if you can’t buy scale figures, you can always go with the prize figures (even I buy the prize figures only) and some of them’s detailings are almost on par with scale figures. Trust me, you’ll find more satisfaction on seeing an original one rather than a fake one.

    • @HystericalDark

      fair enough but in some countries, like mine banpresto figures arent really available meaning youll have to order them for japan and it ultimately gets expensive. id just reccomend getting high end fakes since those are of good quality and are painted quite decently these days.

    There was a store in the mall I was in that had a small section of anime stuff. Some merchandise were legit but the figure packages looked sus. From far away it looked like the real box but closer you can see the pixel distortion of the image on the box. Picking up the box the figure was not securely packaged in the box and you can rattle it around. I discreetly opened the box and the figure was just in a clear plastic bag where a real one would be held in place by cardboard to reduce damage in shipping.

    Some figures despite being fake are actually good than the real one in terms of price obviously. You just have to see them in person to see if it’s worth it; but never online.
