Wasn't sure if we were talking boobs or toys here for a sec!

Anyway, there is a shop near where I work that has these BxH guys as fakes. They definitely look fake too. Poor poor paint work.
It's funny, I can get fakes of this stuff but would never see the real deal anywhere over here that I know of.

thank you everyone for checking this out for me...


now, what are the tell tale signs of a fake? Are the differences completely obvious? Or are there some slick mofos out there? I'm used to buying this stuff from reputable online shops and immensely suspicious of any online type of auction...

I can only speak of the ones in the store near me and they are obviously fakes. The paint is a little grotty or dull. The white parts aren't don't match up - they're out of register. I don't know BxH, but I know Japanese quality and these aren't it.
I have read on here that there are some damn close fakes out there. The ones I speak of are very average.

parka was explaining that fakes usually dont come in the bxh bags for some reason...is that still the case?

Post subject: 

These ones I'm talking about definitely don't have bags.

Picked it up over on KR from one of the guys who didn't know it was a boot when he bought it and wanted to just get rid of it.

thanks for the pics, audio...I don't think they ever even made a silver ko, though...aside from that...the belly and body look way off...are all fakes this conspicuous?

like 100 % be@rbricks think its impossible to tell its real or fake by fotos.

dont skull kuns/kos pretend to have a laser number on one foot
at least black skum kuns do, my red/white skull kun ko dont (guess good fakes).

GETON toy "bible" 2003 helps a lot:
huge skull kun pictures (front/side/back).


...dont get fooled by names and take care of major ebay sellers
bought fakes a year ago.
