I accidentally bought a fake. I think my fake Miku is nice enough but the gradient in the twin tails of the authentic one is just a bit nicer. My fake is still nicer than a lot of my other figures and was 40$ instead of 120$ (I should have known it was too good to be true) Most people can’t tell that it’s a fake just by looking at it without seeing the comparison. That said, actually seeing them side by side comparison breaks my heart a bit. There’s a serious difference in quality. I liked what I saw and I bought it. I like the authentic once MORE but I don’t like my Miku-chan LESS ❤ Less by comparison, yes. Less than originally, no. Still, I'm going to bust out my model varnish for that glossy finish that actually looks much nicer
