- How to distinguish between a fake and real Nendoroid by Good Smile Co? 🤷
How annoying is it to buy a fake NENDOROID? 😞😞😞 In this video I want to show you guys the difference that I have noticed between a real nendoroid and a fake nendoroid. We will use itachi #820 here as an example 😉
RDJ Tip: I would definitely recommend for you to go to a “partnered shop” in your local area and buy 1 or 2 Nendoroid. Not only you are supporting these local suppliers but also you gain experience and knowledge in buying real toys 😇
Hello people! apologies I haven’t been as active, been crazy at work. Guess what though, this quarantine life has made me realise what I want to do with my life! So I’ll do my best in answering all your questions! I’m planning to do another Real vs Fake Nendoroid, yes I
Got scammed again LOL, but wanna ask you guys what nendoroid s did you guys buy that are fake ?
Im planning on buying a levi #390 nendroid im not sure if its real or not but regarding with the good reviews and the many items the seller has sold i might buy it it does have the good smile company logo
Senpai I would probably wait on it. Good smile does do re release... so if you can wait might be worth it
A luigi nendoroid, I just received it today and after finding out it was fake, I was left in disappointment
I just bought a solid snake one #447 that the price seemed too good to be true. It's most likely a fake! It comes sometime this week. =/
@@darkvoid2841 ngl if it's levi, it's most likely fake. if they have a lot of sales for a levi nendoroid, it's definitely a bootleg. i get my sources from shopee though,
i found my levi nendo on carousell and facebook is a pretty good place to look for^^
Might as well as use the fake itachi as a shadow clone
ちゃんゲイリー thanks for he suggestion mate!
ちゃんゲイリー thats so mf genius omg
n i c e
that’s a good idea :)
Yaaaaaaaas such a good idea!!! Will definitely do this for sure !!
"Ships from China"
Suspicion intensifies*
Wait that means there fake???
@@zorathemagic7310 yea because the nendoroid are from Japan
@@zorathemagic7310 yea
doesn't mean they are fake. they have a manufacturing branch in china with a lot of people, and a lot of their stock comes from there. they also have a branch in japan, but they do outsource some to china.
Same dude
So the only real difference then is some colors and the fakes being immensely cheaper?
shadowthehh2 I wanna buy a fake itachi for $16 on amazon but idk I don’t like buying fakes I just really want one cause itachi is my favorite character this figure looks cool I was gonna buy a itachi funko pop but I don’t like it this one looks way better in my opinion. I just wanna display itachi on my pc. I don’t have much time the real itachi only has 2 in stock but it’s $180 and my birthday is on October 31 I just have to hope I get my money in time before they run out and I don’t know if they sell him in stores and even stores near me I live in a small town we’re not mainstream so companies put some stuff here but we’re not top priority such as other locations
@@azr511 It's ok to have some fake figures, I get it. Some are hard to find, or are way high up in price, it gets frustrating at times..I currently have three fake figures in my collection (and I have about 30+ figures) I say go for it imo, dont feel bad about buying a fake nendo, I say it would look really nice to display on your pc
@@ktoujou61 yeah like even tho there fake there still cute as heck
@@dangerzzonez yeah I have a bootleg nendoroid Ahri from LoL and it's really cute
@@ktoujou61 I have a fake noiz 487 and I love him
Drinking game : one shot everytime he says 'basically'.
basically im having a liver failure
I want to buy a Dio nendroid lol
@@Ricardio_Milos so do I..
@@gkalciunas nice
Dio nendoroid are having a re-run (same for polneraff, Kaitlin and jotaro) you should buy it quick!
I thought I got a fake one because of the packaging turns out that’s how it’s supposed to look (#183, mami from madoka magica)
CakeCat1237 yea that’s an old one. Things has changed so much
And all nendos have the circular tapes as lock of the box. That something bootleg dont have until now.
Watching this video made me realize that I have been scammed😭
In my country, its pretty difficult to buy the original one since almost all the local sellers sell the fake stuff instead. But they do describe that if the stuffs are Fake. Also, the price is just much cheaper.. So i gotta say that the fake stuffs are kinda worthwhile if you cant afford to buy the original
nice review man. just a minor gripe: too much “basically”. besides that, i loved your review.
Same, it gets really annoying over sometime 😂
Hahahahah did you basically love this? 🤗
@@robindejesus6443 more reviews bro. A lot of new releases
Akado Yoroi will definitely do mate :)
eBay has so many good deals, but Some seller takes out real Nendoroid and put fake Nendoroid, so the box is real and Nendoroid is fake, I already had real Nendoroid so, I knew it was fake when I saw the picture.
I was like geez... He had 0 feedback.
Thank you for the tip.
I have only been buying from online, but I actually do want it to go to an actual shop and look at those Nendoroid.
But don't know where~ ToT Going Japan is too expensive.
Glad I help :). It is always tempting to buy the cheap one but just annoying if you bought a fake one. Ha ha that’s why I made this video to spread the good word. Ha ha
Always make sure to find shops that are partnered with goodsmile on ebay-
Crunchyroll are selling some as well
About the joints, more fake once are getting the smiley face on it.
But most of the joints are still only made in the skin tone.
It really depends on which company made the fake on how much it looks like the real one
Miri Pir totally agree!!
real ones are a pain in the ass to find if you don't pre-order tho.
Not really. Go to AnimeJungle or Amazon.....its that simple. Cons too
Me: * buys a nendoroid online for a small price bc I'm broke *
* After watching this video *
*Laughs in good luck due to finding out all my nendos are real*
You are one of the lucky ones
Where did u buy the nendoroid?
Glad all your nendoroid are real!
Ellie Paris where’d u buy them
@@toni-2 I usually buy from crunchyroll, toyarena, and bigbadtoystore, but the one time I bought a $60 nendoroid from ebay it was fake.. 😅😂
The small boxes started from nendo 820 Itachi Uchiha, so far all the nendoroids that follows after him are in a small packaging, even DX versions like Mike and sully of Monster Inc are in small packaging just a bit bigger that the box of itachi . I think Snow miku and nendoroids from Kantai Vollections would be an exception since usually they have lots of extra parts and are to big to fit on the standard small nendo boxes.
I think it was 819 Kato Megumi, but you are right.
They also had a style change after nendoroid number 300, to a more cleaner look, mostly white boxes but a few of them have cool base colors too.
Also some special editions have mat finish as well.
Isn’t the fake one a bit... Shinier?? [Something I notice from my bootlegs]
Some are yes.. and this is a theory one of my friends has. It smells.... I can’t confirm this though as some of my real ones are smelly hahahaha
So the first 2 nendoroids I bought was legit. The boxes, the face plates, the stands, the smileys, points out. Actually expensive but worth it.
I have an official America nendoroid next to a fake Link nendoroid, and on a shelf the fake doesn’t look that bad next to the official. The only downside of the fake nendoroids is a mediocre paint job, delicate posing, and flimsy additional pieces. The official nendoroids are definitely much better quality but if you don’t want to spend a lot of money the fake ones are still pretty nice!
The stickers are a licensor requirement and not necessarily a design feature of the gsc nendo lines packaging. Those stickers are so called authentication sticker. The safest way to avoid bootleg would be buying from a GSC license and partnered shop. You can check the list of Partner Shops of GSC. :)
Thanks! Im planing to buy a majoras Mask link you helped me soo much!
Thank you so much for this, got gifted a nendoroid a few years back and not really into anime anymore so I wanted to sell it and just realised it could have been fake
This video will be a great help for me. I'm planning on buying my first ever nendoroid. Luckily I saw your video. I have now the idea on distinguishing fake nendo.
The feeling that you paid for the original nendo is priceless. Again thanks for this video. Will be waiting for more of your tips. Salute to u man.
thank you. i will save this to my favorites to remind me what to look out for
Just got into collectables recently and I'm pretty sure I bought some bootleg nendoroids. It's whatever though since the authentic ones aren't being manufactured anymore and the ones that are available to buy are insanely overpriced. Real shame.
Thank you so much for this! I'm glad you made this. I was worried about getting fakes, but with these tips I can't be fooled now 👌😎
does it really matter its only bad if its expensive and fake imo
This kind of video is nice! I like ur channel so much! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷💕
I Have 2 fake figures in my collection one being the sakura miku prize figure. It's pretty cute and the quality isnt terrible for 8 dollars. All my other figures are official and I'm very happy about how I've maintained mostly legit figures
Good Video! I'm new to the Nendoroid Game and it was useful to know.
The key is PRICE. Many people want to buy good stuff with cheapest price. That's the downfall. Don't get lured by cheap price.
*runs to check all joints of nendos for the smiley*
Good video man, thank you
I was going through my nendoroids based on the official checklist and it didn't say anything about the more transparent holder thing... I found one that was more transparent and I looked at my nendoroid shelf like "one of you is an imposter!!" so i looked over each one for all the signs of a bootleg and they all checked out as legit... then after a lot of panic and thinking i must have got at least one of the "best bootlegs ever made" I saw your video.. thanks for calming me down.. =3
thank you sooooo much, this video was extremely helpful. i have a real hinata nendoroid that i ordered straight from goodsmile but i unfortunately missed kageyamas sale, so i had to order him off amazon for an outrageous price and now i'm worried it won't be real. when i get him i'm going to look at him to compare all the points you made in this video just to fully make sure he's authentic! thank you again!
I buy mine from AliExpress so mine are definitely fake 😭😭 (but they usually around 20 dollars so it’s fine)
I am from the future and finally they put a sasori nendoroid out, pre- ordered it. Have to wait till December. got a Severus Snape to now and am stoked to collect nendos again but moderated.
Snape is already available and sasori I want
Thx this is very helpful as I'm planning on buying a nendoroid I'll sub because you deserve it
I got a Yukino Yukinoshita recently and while there is no plastic smell out of box, I kept her in a small glass case and when I had to pack her away after about a month, she smelled strong of ABS, so idk if smell is a factor
Hello man can you please tell me the site you bought these from so I can avoid it? Thanks
Was the store you bought from something like Rakuten or Yahoo Auction where anyone can sell their products or an actual shop? We tend to assume anything that comes from Japan is original, seems like I gotta be more careful. There're no official partner shops here, there're a few resellers that seem trustworthy, but honestly, it's always a risk
what if my nendoroid has all the things a real one has but it doesnt have the good smile compaby logo on the top right??
I never had a nendoroid bc i haven't enough money and i can't buy anything online lol
you can use cash on delivery to buy these -if you dont have any emoney
Does good smile have an Amazon shop? Or should I just go on their website? I’m waiting for mafumafu to be restocked and I want to know if I should purchase it from their website or their Amazon page
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I bought three and their all real, super relieved :)
If possible can you let us know the dimensions of the boxes in particular.
Can you tell me how high and wide the itachi nendoroid box is?
In indonesia the seller online figure always tell in the description this figure is bootleg or not,so i dont need to be afraid if want to buy nendo or another figure,too bad last year the goodsmile salary from my country is going down,it's because of the tax which make the figure expensive especially from goodsmile figure,so many of collector choose to buy the bootleg than the original one
Caesar Ladur fair enough well it’s all about preference :$ just in case you are ready to get a real one then this video might come in hand 🥴
Welp, going for price figure for now, cheap originals
Im planing to buy a majoras mask link but ALL the products that ive seen of The link theres no good smiled on it could you help me?
Thoughtful Child? Where are you from? I can check for you in Australia. I am guilty in checking the websites everyday, I might be able to help.
Based on your fake itachi, the bootleg still uses the old nendo faceplates where theres a hole beneath the faceplates for the neck connector. :) thats the olde faceplates of nendos before.
The fake ones can be pretty cheap. My first and only nendoroid is Noiz from dramatical murder and he was only like 15 dollars on Ebay. I know he's fake but I still love him.
Thanks for NOT supporting the original Sculptors 💀💀
@@KomaedasOneTrueHope dude I didn't know he was fake when I got him. Chill. I was 14.
Is it normal that I can buy Nendoroid in Italy for 60 plus euros? Are they this pricy overseas? I bought two of Yuri on Ice and Victor was clearly fake (paid 39euros) and wouldn't even stand and the images in the box while Yuri is not even arrived yet but the price makes me think it's fake too. I can see the official "The good Company" seller on amazon but gosh they're pricy!
tbh its not like a phone or anything so a fake version shouldnt be 2 bad right? bc i just want figures of anime characters dont care if its a bit rubbish its like 70% cheaper so idrc
no
Honestly it depends, some bootleg can be complete garage , some can be awesome quality, i think it depends on where you buy it
But my nendoroid is a real one (it’s a bakugo one) and there’s no goodsmile company sign on the top right! I search up many boxes and there’s no good smile sign too
It’s happened to mine as well, even when I ordered it from Goodsmile.
Nendoroid's boxes vary. There should be a good smile logo on the bottom
Why you dont have the susanoo?
Help how do i know my Alphonse Elric isnt fake the boxes are the same
for the logo does it have to be good smile or just the brand?
How much are the real ones?
do we have less chances of buying bootlegs in expos? oh and for the megaman one, the stickers is on the bottom :)
Some Con selles sell fakes. You should check the figure before u buy from anyone
Hi robin, where you get that glass/arcliric stand?
Valkria 4th I got it from eBay. Just search glass acrylic stand !
Box size isn't too reliable since some nendos that have bigger accessories (like nendo 780 Lillie's hat) have bigger boxes, your other advice is sound though, the best thing to check the box would be watching unboxings.
Turns out my first ever nendroid that only coat 500 yen(bought at tsurugaya) is . . Legit. 🤔 Sadly i broke 2 of its neck. Someone said use super glue is working. Any suggestion to fix it?
I knew something was off when i saw the chuuya nendoroid , but i still bought it anyway and now i regret it- the box print is obviously badly done
Fake nendos are not all bad. It depends on the products. Some very nice, some aren't. If you are not serious about collecting it, buy the fake ones. But if you're a fanatic, buy the real ones.
tell us what japanese store u buy it plsss
Didnt the megaman box have a sticker on the bottom?
I like Nendoroids, but they are to small for me
Thanks for the video super helpful!!
I’m assuming if there’s no good smile logo then it’s fake?
My itachi nendroid doesn’t have a sticker is it fake?
where can u get nendoroids in the philippines?
thank you very much! i almost bought a bootleg. You're video is very useful!
Yoosung Kim thanks mate
Is it safe to order an killua nendoroid from eBay ;-; can someone help because I’m really unsure and scared but I really want it T_T and I’m from Germany I can’t order from every site cause it won’t ship to me. EBay is my only chance
But My hero Academia nendoroids doesn't have the goodsmile logo on top even if they are legit :(
That's why I thought my Uraraka was fake!!!
you scared me with the logo in the top right tip. i already bought a deku from ebay and i checked the box compared to a real one, and it was actually authentic. phew.
it is unfortunate sometimes to get fake nendoroids but for an average collector i feel like it is not a huge bummer? maybe for those who are on a tight budget can go for the fakes, they're one of the good looking bootlegs tbh
Dash agree. Some bootlegs does look good but i dont know I feel like if I paid for something , I expect to get the real one rather than bootleg. Especially nendoroids are not cheap!! 😂
@@robindejesus6443 yea getting scammed by paying the real amount of a nendoroid and then receiving a fake one sucks, what i actually meant in my first comment was for those who are on a tight budget could possibly buy a fake nendoroid instead of the real one because some are the exact copy of the original, i didn't meant to say getting scammed was okay lol my bad for not explaining properly
Tbh would like it if you did name drop the website so we can spread awareness that they sell fakes (and a lot at that). I understand trying to protect their business or save publicity but if they're selling bootlegs then people should know not to support them.
Plot twist: His entire collection is fake and the one that he says is fake is actually the real one
maybe the stickers are for serial for example the naruto have the golden one im just telling what i think
Is it just me or is nendoroid colour will fading normally?
Is the itachi endroid in amazon a fake or real
I bought one off of amazon. But idk if its the real one or fake one
do they come with the same thing?
I bought 5 nendo, but no one has that sticker but they all have goodsmile logo 🤔
I heard somewhere that if the Nendoroid originated from an anime show, it would have the holographic sticker whereas the ones that originated from games don't.
The biggest giveaway to a fake is the price. When I was just starting I made the Mistake of buying a fake figma because I saw it was $20 versus $90. I didn’t realize at that time that there were fakes until it was too late. Also read the description before you buy, and make sure it explicitly says it’s guaranteed authentic item and not a fake. I’ve been collecting figma and nendoroids for roughly 8 years. The fakes feel super cheap and the colors look so gross
Great video!
Where do you buy your Nendoroids? The authentic ones
Lolo Illescas I actually buy it from the Philippines and have it ship to Australia.
Glad this was help for future purchase. though I have a fake nendroid tho sigh I should had known better.
Majestic Flame it’s alright that’s how you learn.. I hope your purchase is not as bad as mine
Ngl as long as I get one I’m happy if it’s fake but looks decent I’m fine 😌
I got a fake figma and she cant even connect to her torso and her legs are not even made right also her hair is to heavy for her head so be careful!
i have a fake 645 i cant put on the apron😞
Got a fake nendoroid for christmas. Absolutely horrible. The parts didn't fit right, pieces that shouldn't fall off, fell off. It came off amazon so i thought i was safe. WRONG. Always pay attention to who you're buying from. Would always recommend buying from the official seller. If it isn't coming from good smile co. themselves then don't waste your money or time. It's more likely than not a fake.
Where can I buy these
Incredible video, I have the original one and was watching and comparing, yes I have some trust issues AHAHAHA
Se eu comprar na Good Smile não vai ter como ser fake né?
Has anyone bought from Crunchyroll? I’m debating whether to buy a nendoroid from them
Didn’t a nendroid of itachi and out in 2017? Isn’t this like the remake of the figure
Just see from the price, it is really different tho. But I just stick to the fake one coz I'm broke af. Smh
setiadji hikmawan true
I bought my first Sasuke nendoroid online and on the picture and everything it was legit I bought it and realised it didn't have any parts just the nendoroid no extra arms or anything
Thanks for the info 15:59, now I know where will I buy my 1st nendroid here in PH
redmonstershop is also a good physical/online shop based on ph that sells real nendoroids
@kashew keyomeatsew yeah,,, hubbyte has cheaper prices for nendoroids oo
Question: If a person that makes fake nendoroids puts the "GoodSmileCompany" logo on it could they get sued? or you know arrested maybe? Just asking because i think the company would sue then xD.
Chinese counterfeits always get away with this stuff. There’s counterfeits of everything with the company logo like iPhones, designer purses, etc
Just look at the characters stand the stand shows the truth (if you open them that is) and the fake ones they have been using the Korean skin care routine
ちなみにホログラムステッカーは、レーシングミクをスポンサー権限取得で直接出荷された場合は付いてなかったよ
I just bought my first Nendoroid (#1144 Hyakkimaru) from Amazon. I paid $150 so I was terrified that I'd been scammed but he's real!! I'm so glad 😭
