Counterfeit Figures

Member wormgear ends up one of the worst counterfeit figures I've ever seen. This is just horrendous. A few more pics at his blog and here.
Looks like the seller of this figure is also using pictures of my Mirei too...
The online figure dealers I recommend for legit figures are...
[*] Hobby Search
[*] Anime Export
[*] Kid Nemo Company
[*] Anime USA
[*] Otaku Fuel
[*] Hobby Stock
[*] J List
And if you have other recommended trusted figure dealers then feel free to mention them here too. If you have horror stories of pre-order cancels, bad packaging or fakes then feel free to mention those too - we must protect the interests of the consumer!

I saw a member post a few weeks ago about this, and coincidentally, the "Mirei-san" figure that I ordered two days before reading that was also a fake. I am pretty disappointed, but I have only myself to blame-- I really didn't examine the eBay auction carefully enough.
