Bootleg Warning : 1/7th Scale Hatsune Miku: Tony 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 official version will always contain a holographic production sticker, while the bootleg version will often not have this sticker.
The twin tails on the official version can be removed, while they are glued on as a single piece on the bootleg version.
The print of the eye on the official version is neat and in the lines, and a slight blush is visible on the cheek. The bootleg version has paint bleeds from the eyes, and no blush paintwork.
The shape and flow of the hair on the official version flows smoothly and is correctly separated. The bootleg version has an incorrect, rough-looking shape, and the tips are not in the correct places.
The official version features glossy paintwork on the arms, while the bootleg version often has messy paintwork and no gloss.
