Here he is:  Being one who also got ripped off I can tell you that is 1000% pure bootleg trash. You could always paint it if you're good at that sort of thing. But look on the bright side you can just pick up the King of Coloring version in August. Here is a helpful comparison for anyone wondering if they've been ripped off. dbtoys2009.blog.163.com/blog/static/11553105320148854736954/ |

I'm pretty upset. I have a feeling they order all their merchandise from a distributor of fake products. They said I could exchange the item for store credit, but whats the point when all of their stock are boot legged? What are some good ways to tell if the Figuarts ZEROs are boot legged? Can I do the same checking of their boxes as I do regular Figuarts?

Zero bootlegs, especially Trunks, look terrible in the face.

Just look for the toei sticker on the box. There are some photos online that put the bootleg and the original next to each other. I don't know where to find them though

That's really frustrating to hear. I paid quite a bit for it. I was pretty suspicious when I got it home and saw it compared to others online. Thanks. EDIT: So the store offered let me exchange it, do any of these figures in the glass case look legit to you guys? Just curious about what would be worth exchanging it for. I have a $68 credit. I know it's probably tough because the picture doesn't show anything up close..  That Medicos looks like the real thing. One way to tell if it's real is not only the sticker, but the blue background inside the box. The paint job on the fake is a dead give away, especially on the hair. The real one's hair has a metallic gold tint to it, while the fake's doesn't. |

They sent me a EVIL bootleg so I made a EVIL Doppelganger Goku out of it. It's what I call taking a lemon and making lemonade lol.     |

Those dragonball sets are expensive! I think I paid about $10 each for mine, with shipping. Good luck on working all that out!

I'd buy wall scrolls and posters from that store for the store credit then never go back.

I know it's probably tough because the picture doesn't show anything up close.. If those Dragon Balls are the acrylic ones, they're all laughably overpriced. You can buy the entire large set on Amazon for about $80 (real too). Individual prices for the large ones go for about $10-$15 on Amazon, give or take. Pfft! $58 per piece...  |

How come Trunks is so much cheaper than the other Master Star Pieces?

How come Trunks is so much cheaper than the other Master Star Pieces? Because the Manga color is not very popular among fans/collectors. So this Trunks has become a shelf warmer. |
