Sakura is back on the channel and for good reason! For today's video I am going to share with you all how to spot bootlegs in the market. We will be comparing my authentic Sakura Stars Bless You figure (full version) with a knock-off based on the design of the standard version. What are some of the key elements that you need to be aware of and pay attention to when you are buying the figures and what in general are the differences between a real versus a knock-off figure?
On top of that, I will showcase a prize figure of her from Furyu which is the Rocket Beat since authentic yet still inexpensive prize figures are out in the market. This will be a discussion to help you understand the value of considering buying a prize figure over a fake one.
I hope this video will help you a lot in identifying which kinds of figures you might want to consider buying and add to your collection as well as giving additional insights as to why fakes exist and what's in it for us to support the authentic figure market. I know that this topic can be controversial in the figure collecting community so I hope that we all keep an open mind as we go through the content and posting in the comments section.
This video is something that I am very excited to share with you all so if you enjoyed it, please do like the video and subscribe to my channel so that I can make more of these in the future!
