I think I got pretty far into them, but I eventually just hit a wall. I felt like I got somewhat okay at the game which was pretty impressive for me since I've never played a fighting game before then, but it wasn't enough unfortunately.

Oh, you could in Arena? I never played that one, just Ultimax, so I wouldn't know. It's a good thing I didn't play it because that platinum is like a million times harder than Ultimax's plat, yet I couldn't even do that.

Waffle-Sensei Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Decided to open my Alphonse figure once and for all. My sneaking suspicion that it was a bootleg came true as I looked at his foot and read "Made in China." Funny enough, it's not half bad for a bootleg. It looks like Alphonse, the joints are a little stiff (but that's something I've been reading about the figure regardless), the paint job isn't terrible, and the parts are all there. Despite being fake it's an alright figure. Save for it making my entire room smell like paint. I want to open Raidou now (which I know is real), but at the same time I want to preserve him in the box forever. Hmmm. I want to get some Play Arts and those Persona 5 figures next. Here's hoping I get the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, most (if not all) Japanese (and everywhere really, even American ones) figure companies use factories in China to make their figures, that's not a sign of a bootleg... Now the smell MIGHT be one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the smell MIGHT be one though. Really? Huh, didn't know that. Always thought that a figure being made in China was a surefire way to see whether it is a bootleg. The smell could've been from the fact that the figure has been stored away for a while, and I have no idea what the temperature was like. Despite that though I still don't have my doubts it's a bootleg. Like I said it's still a pretty damn nice one though. Anyway, discovered that this exists: Kagawa is one of my favorite players and good quality football figures seem hard to come across (though I would much prefer him in the Dortmund jersey *cough*) so I would like to get this, but I have seen absolutely nothing about this figure other than the very few images I could find after a Google search and some stuff about other figures in this 'collection' (namely Rooney and Giggs) and I can't seem to find a seller that I entirely trust, especially since the figure seems to be on the pricey side. :/ Anyway, just wondering if anyone on here has seen or heard of these particular 1/6 scale football figures? I don't know how many football fans there are on here, but it's worth a shot to ask. EDIT: Within minutes after posting this I was able to find out who makes the figure and find more information on it, even a seller that seems trustworthy. I feel like I just posted a status update...

Reveal hidden contents Basically every single company that mass produces something do so in Chinese factories, due to cost, so they can turn a better profit. Here's a nice project, go around and check every figure you can find for it's "made in" info and see how many are from China, if it's anywhere bellow 98% of them I would be really surprised lol Edited January 12, 2017 by Devil_Spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Now that I know that I have a little more confidence in little ol' Alphonse (despite the horrid smell...).

Thanks for the info. Now that I know that I have a little more confidence in little ol' Alphonse (despite the horrid smell...). Usually collector's use the way figures smell to spot a bootleg, it's because bootlegers use lead base plastic because it's cheaper, and that gives a strong smell, especially the moment you open them up, but the smell goes away eventually, well, most of it, and if that's the only low point on a bootleg figure I think it's worth it, especially if the official one is way over priced because of rarity. For example I have these, and they're 100% bootlegs, but they are almost as good as the originals, and only cost me something around $30 for the set, where the originals usually go around 200 for each, the reason they are so good is because they where done with the molds of the originals by the same people that worked at the factory, they used left over materials and made them afterhours, then made a small profit on the side (China factory workers are underpaid and overworked, they do what they can to get by). Another good way to spot a bootleg is looking at the copyright info, usually bootlegers remove that so they don't get in trouble, if a figure has it then either is an original, or a bootleg done with the original molds, but these are quite rare I believe, easier/safer to create new molds from an actual figure or prototype and remove the copyright before molding new pieces. Also the packaging, they either don't have any, or have one without copyright info on it, usually printed in bad quality. Another sure way is accesories, bottlegers try to cut corners, and usually only go for the basic acessories, for example on Kingdom Hearts figures they leave out Sora's necklace or the Keyblade's keychain, so even in packaging you can easily check. Don't really know where I'm going with this but oh well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DEMON Posted January 13, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just added my second FFXV Play Arts Kai to my collection, Prompto.. best chocobro. My Play Arts Kai collection so far. I'm going to need more shelves. I'm tempted to buy Gladio and Ignis now when they are still on sale but I feel like I should keep these purchases to once per month as these figures are £80 a piece.. (and the Nyx figure is over £100 x_x). If they make Ardyn, he's definitely going to cost over £100 too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
