Bootleg Warning: Nendoroid Kirino Kousaka (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.

The joint connects into a separate part on the official version, whereas the entire expression is a single mold on the bootleg version.
The joints on the official version are left as a skin color, while they are painted on the bootleg version.
The official version has a circular pattern at the top of the torso, which isn't found on the bootleg version.
The prop part of the stand is fitted with a joint on the official version, which isn't found on the bootleg version.
