Epic fail.. Do not buy from Hong Kong. Ok, my own fault but when the figure you want is simply not available, is it worth taking the plunge and getting a factory renegade? Well for what it’s worth, the box is authentic.

Alter 2003 Shinku

You can clearly see she won’t stand straight.

The hair is particularly soiled, most likely painted in a MDF board factory, near a coal mine, beside a vacuum cleaner filter changing shop..

Picky picky? Ok a list of observations:

• The eyes haven’t their usual luminescence
• Eyelashes are minutely different
• Speckle marks on the hair and dress
• Shoe and stocking paint overlap
• Not typical grade PVC, more rubbery and strong odour
• Feet do not fit base without force
