Bootleg Warning : Shinobu Oshino (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 does not include the stapler seen on the official version.
The curve on the tail on the bootleg version is very sudden. (The curve is smooth on the official version.)
On the bootleg version, the doughnut is perpendicular to the stand. (It lies at an angle on the official version.)
The bootleg version has the glasses at a more vertical angle, and the lenses look cloudy. (The official version is at an angle, and the lenses are clear.)
The ribbon on the bootleg version comes off on the side of the knee. (It comes off the front of the knee on the official version.)
The bootleg version has one bent strap, making it appear shorter than the other. (The official version has both straps extended outwards.)
The bootleg version does not have holes located on bottom of the stand.
The bootleg figure has the doughnut permanently attached to the figure. (It is removable on the official version.)
