S.H.Figuarts "Iron Man - Mark 50] FAKE! [Iron Man] Compare the real one with the fake!
I would like to compare them and discuss the differences and what to look for.
First of all, I would like to start with the box.
Let's start with the "BANDAI logo". the real one is the blue logo and the fake one is the red logo. However, BANDAI's red logo actually exists; BANDAI SPIRITS Co., Ltd. started in 2018, and that's where the blue logo comes from. It depends in the age, so both are available.
It's difficult to think of the age as "from what year to that year...", it's
difficult to think about, and it's not easy to come up with a quick answer.
Therefore, what is important is "comprehensive judgement", and the most important factor is the "copyright sticker". This will be the sticker that glitters and shines. The details of the copyright stickers are in another article, so I will
spare you the details.
This is the S.H.Figuarts' [Iron Man Mark 50]'s copyright sticker.
Next, we will look at the clear window. This is the part where you can see part of the figure inside from the outside, but a common feature of fakes is that it is cloudy. It is very easy to see if you compare the two.
Now, let's compare the actual figures.
I was surprised when I opened the contents. The fake got its arm off, the moment it was taken out of the box. The arm doesn't fit properly...and the figure itself is slimy...it's quite a fake.
And what you notice without looking at it in detail is the "miscellaneous" of the joints. It's too "open"...it's choppy.
And the fake ones are hunched over because their moving parts are not firmly fixed in place. "Figuarts" figures are really cool figures with a lot of moving parts and a wide range of motion that allows you to take various poses. The fake ones cannot be completely enjoyed. And it's slimy...
Even from the back, the silhouette, makes the fake look weak.
If you compare them like this, you can see the difference. And it is obvious when you open the package. However, if you just take it in your hand, it may be hard to tell in an instant.
Also, regarding the color of the package and whether it is clear or not, I think
it's difficult to distinguish from photos on the Internet.
The difference between one board at a glance in the package is whether or not it has a copyright sticker. On this figure, it has "TAMASHII NATIONS" = "TAMASHII WEB" copyright sticker is attached.
There are also fake products made by different routes, so please check the points of the "package" and "body" that we talked about this time before you buy.
