Bootleg Warning : Madoka Kaname (Good Smile Company)
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 gap between the sock and Madoka's leg. (The official version looks much neater.)
The bootleg version has scratch marks along the side of the waist.
The left arm on the official version is removable, but on the bootleg version it is stuck onto the body.
The bootleg version is bent forward on the stand, instead of standing up straight.
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.
