Bootleg Warning : BLK Limited Edition (with figma BRSB) (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 official version has cardboard-box styled flaps and contains a postcard inside. The bootleg version has small, white flaps and may have no postcard inside.
The official version has partially transparent protective sheets surrounding the figure and between joints.
The bootleg version is simply wrapped in a kind of cling-wrap.
The bootleg version has the flame connected at the center of the fringe. (The official version has it connected to the fringe at the left eye.)
The official version has a gradient that gradually becomes more purple toward the point, leaving the print on the sword clearly visible.
The bootleg version doesn't have a constant gradient and the colors are mixed and matched, making the print harder to read.
The bootleg version has very messy paintwork around the chest area, with colors mixing incorrectly.
(The official version has clear distinction between separately painted areas.)
The bootleg version does not contain the '© huke' or the 'MADE IN CHINA' text.
