Sorry, I didn't save the website or pictures. I think it was mainly being discussed in the sideshow forums, but I can't remember what page it was on. I had another forum I found that had some information, but I can't remember it. My browser doesn't save any history after it closes. From what I was reading, people were saying that it only really looked like the hair was shaded a lot more extremely and that maybe the jacket was slightly different. Along with the watermark from an online store. But, it is still mostly a mystery to everyone.

Oi...$20 for Trunks...should I risk it?! Where are you located? If you are willing and wind up ordering, want to get me one? I'll pay cost, shipping to my location and a bit extra for helping me out if it's legit!

At the end of the day it's only $20, but really that seems shady to me. You'd probably end up with a Benda figure instead.

Looks like a bunch of people have bought from them, but no feedback yet. Not unusual, since they say it will take almost a month to ship the figure to you. I kinda want to wait a few more days, just to see if feedback starts coming in negative.

I personally won't bother. I feel like there's a 99% chance that I would just end up wasting $20.

I feel the same way, especially since they don't use paypal and it would be more hassle dealing with the bank to reverse charges if it is a scam. But...there's still that part of me that says "DO IT" because Trunks is one of the characters I really wish I could have gotten.

I'm sure it's one of those BenDa bootlegs like jawafive mentioned.

I see everyone stressing on here lol.
Well. I think its just another "datong" bootleg. Because well, for starters wouldnt they have been out of stock if it was known to be legit? Or am i just overthinking this?
And well. If its "limited" does it mean that thats how much they have left from when ot was released nack then and they just want to get rid of figires they don't need?
Yes. Indeed. Very risky.

More than likely is a bootleg.

Apparently, people are also finding listings of this "new" Trunks on Taobao and other sites with the same watermark. Doesn't seem like a Datong, because they usually are pretty clear that it's Datong on the packaging. Although, if it was a Datong that would make it a guaranteed buy for me. Datong is usually pretty good quality.

But, Datong is a specific company/product and type of bootleg. It's not a generic term that can refer to all bootlegs. So, you just mean another general bootleg?
