UPDATE: The Yuki Nagato figure is not a Figma but a Revoltech. It came with even more hands and so many accessories! BIG Thank You to Vankyler for pointing this out! - Good Call! :D
Hi, just want to clarify, not all figma figures have a laser sticker on the box front, only figma made by Max factory has a sticker. Other brand like Good Smile figma does not neccessory have a laser sticker.
I just brought a kagamine len figma for $3. The stand and bag both say figma on it. The box is beat up but I also brought it used. The pictures are nice. The joints are also very strong. They don't fall out/come out easily. I own 2 fake nendos and their joints always pop out. Their also very glossy ( Len isn't. ). Also the Len figma came with a triple a sticker on the back. It also had a much smaller sticker but half of it was torn off.
Buying a decent fake got me into getting the real about 11 years or so ago but they are becoming very expensive these days for instance payed about 29 usd for my official persona 4 figmas back when they released now they are 65 to 80 which is pretty crazy more then double! Like many things I love to collect some times you just have to either give up when things get to expensive or look for a cheaper way . We honestly don't like bootlegs but I can't see spending more then 60 on these that's about as for as I'll go before I find another way to keep collecting what I love .
I went to this anime shop in Japan town, I went to an anime shop and a Nezuko nendriod caught my eye. It was $40 dollar's and it was in a popular anime shop so it seemed tempting because on amazon it was like what $100? A few weeks later I found out It was a fake, so be careful when buying nendriod's as well.
I have 2 figma figures 1 for sure fake the other looks legit but I got it second hand with pieces missing. My first one was a snow miku ex-016. Her body falls apart and when I got her I broke her hand due to it not coming out of the hand place properly. A few more tells for fakes are fakes will use a lot of tape. Like taping the faces in place. And the body of the figma not staying stable. Which was sadly what my first figma was. My second one feels more real to me. It is sturdy, stays together (other then a slightly loose removable cape,) and I was able to replace parts without them feeling loose or too hard to remove. Plus no tape. The figures was missing the stand and a few things but I think the last owner brought it took what they wanted and got ride of it. Or parts broke and they got rid of them. Either way the quality of owning both lets me see the differences. The one I think is real I could not find a halo sticker but it was a lot better then my first figma and the face plates looked 100% correct. Another sign if off looking face plates. With nendroids and figma’s both have Can have off looking face plates when fake.
Just ordered all the Sao figmas so spent a pretty penny but I've learned if you bulk buy more at once it's alot cheaper so me buying 10 figures cost me $830 which is alot but new sealed real and one or two of the figmas that are rare. Plus cause I'm in the UK the $830 works out £600 which is £60 per figure shipped. Much cheaper then buying figures sepretly and paying for the shipping every time ( Recommend buying more then one at a time )
Very useful video 😊👍 I'm looking for Sao figmas, I've found some on ebay, but they're probably fakes, so Tuxx Toys, do you know where i can buy the original ones ? It's my first figma purchase so I still don't know much.😅
I know it's late, but maybe ordered from goodsmile or try Amazon just make sure it's despatched and sold from Amazon to avoid on getting a fake:) Hope this helps
@@Shamrock_queen98 thankfully. I was a bit hesitant with the product initially, but it was what I paid for. It could be a bit cheaper, but meh. Shipping costs fucked me up.
Thanks for the video! I ordered the same Hatsune Miku you have there from Amazon but unfortunately I got cheated with a bootleg version. I feel really bad for it, but hopefully I can get the legit one. It's a shame cause that figure is so pretty!
Bootlegs can be fun too but I feels bad when people pay for a real one and get a fake. Amazon customer service will take care of you. Use my links to be safer!
I came here because, my Guyver 1 figma I received today. The head proportions don't match that of the stock image that every seller listing uses. I'm just going by what I can see through the box window, though. I don't think any of the ones I've got in the Guyver line have had a hologram sticker. They box has a soft, kind of fuzzy image. I bought Guyver 3 from Goodsmile.com. Both Guyver 2 F (female, both colors) from BigBadToyStore. com. And I finally caved to the high price and bought Guyver 1 from Amazon, ("sold by Super Deal CoCo and fulfilled by Amazon). Packaging looks the same for all four. Am I just mistaken about the proportions? Is the stock image an inaccurate representation of the actual product? Is there something else I don't know? (Besides knowing absolutely nothing about this particular market of figures.)
I'm trying to get a Black Rock Shooter figma but I want to make sure that it isn't a bootleg because I dont want it to be loose or bad quality. Although I'm not sure whether this one is a bootleg or the real deal. Is it possible if you could check it out and see if its a bootleg. To find it on Amazon you need to type 'Max Factory - Black Rock Shooter TV Animation figurine Figma Black Rock Shoote (japan import)'. Thanks
Ok this looks legit to me and the seller has a good raiting (doesn't seem fake). I'm looking further into it but your pretty safe as its Amazon and you would complain to customer service if the product shipped doesn't match the photo / description. I would say the risk of it being a fake us low.
@@TuxxToys Thank you so much. I cant thank you enough. I suppose I will get it. I also asked on Discord and have been told that there are no bootlegs of this Figma. So I think I'm pretty safe. Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
i got a tan super sonico figma but i still can't tell if it's real. it has a real stand and the only thing that's loose is the head. oh well i already bought it so not much i can do now lol
I don't have this stickers on mine but it have the bag and the stander that says figma and its pretty good so i think it's real? I also own a fack and the arm falls of if you movie it to much ( but it is still super cute) And i think if you buy a figma on amazon it is a real one
Without stickers I would lean towards fake, especially if parts are falling off. Not having a sticker is just one warning sign but not 100% proof its fake, could of been a glitch in processing.
@@TuxxToys i have another question btw thank you for answering my question the good smile compani is selling real one or ? And my the two how i think are real come both from japan from osaka And one has a sricker but not the same as yours have
Good smile is great! all official ones should have the sticker and figma stand but thats not to say a error was made and no sticker but on. No sticker is more of one warning flag to possible fake.
@@TuxxToys Maybe it is different in different countreies ? With the stickers P.S my figmas are coming from the good smile company And thank you for answering
@@TuxxToys 😁 (So sorry for being half a yr late! 😂) I have a few more Figmas after getting Kirito and Eugeo, a few days ago I even ordered the OG kirito too! (Yeah I'm aware of the issues the figure has!! 😁
Im sure its possible to buy a many things below list price AND Im sure its "possible" some (lower in popularity) figmas "may" be cheaper but it doesnt change that price is one of the warning flags.
Thankfully your Yuki is Fraulein Revoltech, not Figma, and it seems totally fine! I have this one too, and it looks the same :) Funny thing is that I got her for christmas, and it was my very first one, just like in your story 😄
i have to collect fakes which is sad but i have to because how broke i am EDIT: I psychically cant afford real ones the only time i get real ones is when my family buys them me as i tell them a shop to buy them from
I don’t like fakes because I have people impressed on what I have and that makes me happy,If I tell them it’s a fake they’ll just say ok,Plus for some reason I’m not impressed with fakes either because Some day I might have a chance to find the real one and all that money wasted on a fake
I bought the first figma when they were called max factory out of a place in New York called the outer limits. They're way too expensive. 70$ for the overwatch Genji?! At Target??!!!)+&_$"++ that.
@@TuxxToys The price was 10 USD lower than the average online (98 USD) , and this is my first figma, so I’m not too familiar. The price knock was from a sale though.
You are 100% correct. It was my first figure I ever owned and a Christmas gift. I have the original box but couldn't get to it for the video (all packed away with collection stuff somewhere haha)! I will look into this and that would explain the scale.
@@TuxxToys wow! actually I'm also planning to buy some figures on christmas day, ( a christmas gift to myself hehe ) I Hope we all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)
@@TuxxToys Yeah I'm actually not too upset about it anymore.lol I've pruchased a couple authentic figures since and another fake cause I didn't feel like spending 200 dollars on the real thing. I figured no one around here but me is gonna know the difference anyway And it still looks pretty cool on my shelf. 👍😁 Does feel a whole lot better opening up an authentic package though! 💖 Also, I noticed that mostly older figures tend to be the more expensive ones.

Well not everytime
But not all of em have stickers like the 014 figma

Do fake figmas break easily ?
Just got a guts figure
Both arms broke off so easily just trying to articulate lol
Some don't break but they fall apart allot more.
This is a pretty helpful guide! What's the name of the outro song though?
Its called "Signal"

The down side to fakes is......HOW LONG THE SHIPPING IS
On ebay from china it can be 10 days or so. From amazon prime faster. Sometimes sellers have different shipping options too.
Tuxx Toys I ordered a Figma Deku from EBay which is probably a fake, but I still have about 2 months until it arrives
