That’s what Good Smile Company trying to tell us. Looks like the trend of fake figurines is starting to get out of hands that GSC has to resort to this.
Good Smile Company just updated their “Imitation” info with a new line up figurines. This time it’s “Clayroid puchi Lucky Star Season 01”. The above image are Fakes. Other info includes bad paint jobs, shiny and oily-look surface, and different base stand. You can view more info on the fake items here. The one in RED is Authentics, and BLUE is fakes.
Other discovered GSC fakes product include Nendoroid L, Nendoroid Asahina Mikuru, and Max Factory‘s Saber/Zero. You can view them here.
I think this is a really important matter to anyone who is also a figure collectors like myself. I’ve never gotten any fakes before, but this info does give me more insight on what’s happening out there. I know some people who already got tricked before. So please be careful when you are trying to purchase figurines from an unknown sources, especially Ebay and Yahoo! Auction.
More research on the stuffs you want to get is one thing you could do. Be smart peeps!! ( ^ _ ^ )/
