The new standard price for figurines if the currency exchange remains like that.

Yeah, but short on many more names of those which have been bootlegged into the hobbyist market.
The first thing which should act as an alarm would be the cheapassed prices.
Secondly, if you have been in the PVC hobbyist act for sometime, it will be fairly easy to use naked eyes to check it the product is genuine or not.

Else, you got a bootleg which is like half or just one third of the price of a genuine product and yet, it looks almost exactly like the genuine product. I suppose i wouldn't mind that (provided i casted aside my pride of having only genuine products as my collection, which i have still maintained until today).

Cheers.

I am considered to purchase a bootlegged Nendoroid Haruhi, because someone broke the handle of my genuine Nendo Haruhi, just for the Nendoroid handle.

But my pride of owning genuine merchandises is getting in my way.

Yeah, lol. I tried epoxy but the handle fails to be as "grippy" as before in the original state. And so happened bootlegged Haruhi Nendo is being sold.

About RM 40-50. Yeap, just for a replacement part.



I will be away from this hobby for 3 months, starting from this Sunday as I will be serving my National "Holiday Camp" Service.
