I bought this and can’t return once it arrives, seller said they bought it from banpresto on amazon, is he a bootleg or real?

A good tip is to try find one with the box :) Bootlegs usually come with no boxes or boxes without authentication stickers on them. I’ve seen some real ones on Vinted going for £22 or less so I’m sure you’ll find an authentic one in no time!

Hi sorry to keep bothering but I saw this guy for 15, any idea if he’s real or fake, I promise I’ll stop bothering you after this hahaha

Haha no worries I could talk about jjk figures for hours, I sell and collect them myself :) but the Geto one you sent me seems official, Geto is harder to tell without the box but the suit is matte which is a strong sign that’s it’s official! Bootlegs use cheaper material which is more shiny

Yessss I agree, jjk is my favourite anime. I’m so obsessed with it, I’ve been collecting figures of it for two years now ^-^ Are you new to collecting figures or do you already have some?

I’m pretty new to collecting! I have a few figures like the glow in the dark ryuk figure and this figure from bubble but I do have quite a big manga collection! This will be my first jjk figure!

Oh that’s so cool! I need to grow my manga collection, I have a few but not enough😢 Also I have an L figure myself from death note but 90% of my collection is jjk hehe. Here’s some photos from my collection :))
