Beware Replica seller on https://www.ebay.co.uk/

[noisepop]

I purchased two figures from a seller on September 2020.
It was embarrassing because the detail was so hideous. I asked him again and he replied they were 100% genuine.

I ended up realising they were replicated figures after I got a authentic figure from Wingnut Wings kit.

I found it is quite late to escalate a claim against the seller on Ebay. What a shame...
He is still selling some discontinued figures(almost Mike Good's sculptures...) for multiple times.

Please do not purchase any figures

Thanks

Rule of thumb.

If comes from china it is a fake.

If it doesn't have original packaging it is probably a fake

If the seller has a large quantity of items as above they are probably all fake

If they are very cheap they are most probably fake.

If it doesn't seem right it probably isn't.
