How to Differenciate original Revoltech vs Fake Revoltech

[zigma]

I recently get back into revoltech hobby.
When I search online marketplace, I find a lot of cheap/non original revoltech.

Does anyone have any knowledge, how to differenciate original Revoltech vs Fake Revoltech?

I may have seen some youtube video that mentions fake revoltech, don't use clicky revoltech join.
But there are a lot of new revoltech release that added a lot of new join that doesn't have clicky revoltech join.

For boxes quality, the fake one have blury print out, but I find this is hard to differenciate, the only way for me to see this is by comparing original vs fake one side by side.

Anyone have any knowledge, and share how to differenciate original Revoltech vs Fake Revoltech?

Best regards

Don't have experience on fake Revoltechs. But a general safe rule to go by is to buy from a Japanese shop, Yahoo Japan auctions, or Japanese used market (Mandarake). Random ebay sellers can be very dangerous.

Fake Revoltech are very common esp with comic characters like Spider-Man, Deadpool, etc.
Easiest way is the price. If it looks too good, it's prob fake.
There are many videos on Youtube that compare the figures as well as boxes.
Seems pretty obvious you bought a KO when you get the figure in hand as it'll likely be a floppy mess that falls apart.
