You’re lucky

It's eBay. He would have been fine, as a buyer.

As a seller though.....

look up the kotobukia bishoujos and you will see how much fake ko are out there. , I looked up the feedback and 50% of the buyers thinks its the real items. once they mix up with the real stuff many will not be able to tell the differences. I contacted koto with the links and they said they can't do a thing about it. I hope at least some buyers of the ko will stop buying koto stuff since they believe the ko are real thinking koto makes poor quality stuff. At least then koto will lose sales to the ko and will consider doing something about these ko on ebay. Ebay won't end them since they make money on them.

Nothing will be fixed until the factories stop letting molds go through the backdoor

What's 'ko'?

Knockoff?

It's not as simple as that. Some factory workers are actually forced to turn over the molds or they'll be killed.

Bootleg I'm assuming? Because Samurai isn't even out yet, right?

Not the Shogun piece that would be seriously bad if that popped up

It depends on the piece, but it can range from a wrong shaped peg and bad paint app.

there are now a bunch of custom statues being "re-issued" on eBay after they're "sold out" by the commissioner. The factories have caught on, they're monitoring the selling prices on Facebook and seeing which pieces are in high demand. then they're using the molds to make more of the run than originally commissioned and they're selling them at a little below the original price. The chinese don't let any opportunity slip by...

You should be alright, they normally say if its original or copy in the description. Unless you bought from a seller with very low feedback (new).
I nearly pulled the trigger on the Iron Studios Civil War Black Panther 1/4 pretty cheap, then I read the fine print and it was a copy. Just read the descriptions throughly.

Arrived this morning and couldn’t be happier. Took me a while to get it all together but wow.
