Bootleg Warning : Hatsune Miku HSP ver. (Max Factory)
These bootleg figures are made illegally based off the original versions without permission from Good Smile Company, and hence we unfortunately cannot offer any support for these bootleg figures. There are also many cases where these bootleg figures still feature the official logos of Good Smile Company or the companies we distribute for, however these logos are also not used with any permission. Always take care when buying goods online.
Below is one example of a bootleg figure, please note that is is only one possibility. You should always be on the look out for anything suspicious.
Also note that there can be bootlegs of various figures, not just the examples shown on this website.
Left: Bootleg Version / Right : Official Version
The bootleg version has a much more gentle curl at the tip of the hair when compared to the official version.
The twin tail on the right leaves the joint revealed on the bootleg version.
The bootleg version has green panties, when they should be white. (They are white on the official version.)
The parting line of this extra part is very visible on the bootleg version. (It is hardly detectable on the official version.)
The lines on the bootleg version are large and unpolished. (They are finely detailed on the official version.)
The official version reads 'この商品' and 'グッドスマイル', the correct Japanese.
The bootleg version instead reads 'ての商品', and 'ダッドスマイル', incorrect Japanese.
