Bootleg Warning: figma Strength (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 knee joints on the official version are covered up on the official version, while very visible on the bootleg version.
The base cast color of the bootleg version is a much lighter shade than the official version. It also appears messy due to foreign materials in the plastic.
The joints on the official version go in much deeper and look less visible than the joints on the bootleg version.
The copyright found on the official version is not on the stand of the bootleg version.
The stand of the bootleg version appears muddy, while the official version is clear.
