so browsing for the Sailor Moon Figurearts and I found THIS

LINK FOR THE AUCTION

shes 16.99 brand new in box and free shipping this seems too good to be true can someone check this to see if it is true, because on amazon they are 50

definitely not legit. also, be careful because the sailor moon from sh figuarts already has bootlegs!

thanks tuxedo mistress i thought it was a bit sketch to be such a good deal its better to get the real thing and pay the $ for it.

how do you tell if it's the real one or a bootleg?  because i got one off of Ebay for 35.00 and it looks alot like the one above but on mine the Toei stickers is in a diffrent place on mine

also, look here for more information: http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/10243

please remember, like Hikari said, the real deal costs around US$50 on Amazon and almost every other site you look for. don't be fooled.

thanks, i'll take a look. i read that they are 45.00, since it converted it from Yen, but they person i bought it from was having a sale.

yeah, i'd say 45 bucks it's still a good price for the figure =)

let's hope you bought an incredibly cheap figure! i know what it feels to discover your merch is actually bootleg and it's not a good feeling =(

well it dose have the toie sticker between her legs as the acrtical mentioned was another spot the real one would have it along with the international Sailor Moon logo,   well my mom bought it for 35.00 for a X-mas gift.
! This logo DOES appear on some boxes, though there has yet to be an agreement over whether the logo signifies international release, or just a change in the packaging. 

oh, i bought a bootlet before, State fair  i got this SM CD, turned out it was a bootleg, i will have to look better at mine, so far it looks good. i was so

but if it turns out to be a bootleg, i wonder if the seller knew this??

EDIT: after looking over mine, at it says the mouth is darker in the real one, which mine are along with, there is little flaws in painting job. the artical said that the real ones may have few and bootlegs have way more, mine is almost perfect. just a few paint smudges, but the aritcal writer had paint trasfer on her arm.

this image of a bootleg is look like junk and the sliver on the jewles is too thick, image came from the site with the acrtical



now comparied to the real thing, image from same site




mine look like the one in the 2nd image, so i think it's safe to say, it the real thing

after looking at the link, and looking at my box, i have a bootleg. :'(. i am going to return it and buy from the japan website. I am so pissed off right now.

When in doubt, never buy from China. 9/10 it's a bootleg.

I'd buy one from CD Japan. The yen conversion is in our favor and you can trust it's the real deal. I would always check Sailor Moon Collectibles to see where you can purchase legit items.

thats what I am going to do once i get my refund. i bought from a "trusted" (according to amazon) source and its so trusting

I just bought a Proplica Crescent Moon Wand from Amazon and now I'm worried lol.

Edit: I should probably note I bought it directly from Amazon and not a third party seller on their site.
