Fake Figures

Hijacked from Meimi who discovers this incredible ripoff Kureha. Has anybody here ended up with any fakes in their collection? What measures do you take to make sure you dont end up with one. I have heard opinions that originals are too expensive and that fakes are just fine to have.

Original text from Meimi below.

I was just searching ebay, for games mostly, then I got onto figures later, and was reminded of how much I want figures from the shining wind series. And I came upon this... I admit its nowhere near as bad as Sader, but its still.... so obviously fake I'm suprised they get away with it.... theres not even any white on her hair band!!

Funny thing is, the same person sells the legitimate version aswell.

Legit Kureha, for comparison to naff-Kureha
