I got these two random mini-figures, from anime characters I love. I definitely overpaid for the Megahouse Nyaruto! NARUTO Sasuke-Kun Come On Over Mini Figure Sasuke Uchiha. I was looking to get the set, when it came out, but I only really wanted Sasuke and the whole set was around 60 USD, without S/H. I thought getting him parted out would be better. It wasn’t $60, but a lot more than the 600-800 Yen, they cost blind-box individually. And he’s super tiny! Which I already knew, but it hurts more to know I overpaid for him. I missed on the Megahouse Nyaruto! NARUTO Konoha's Cheerful Cats version, but I did get the “Big” (3″) one, so I guess I should be satisfied with these, but I kind of still regret not getting the first (super) tiny version. >_>;;
I also got the Stasto Stand Stones sleepy Giyu Tomioka gachapon. I have seen these come in boxes, which are not the way they are actually sold, more so without the Stasto Stand Stones logo anywhere on the box, so those are probably (more likely than not) knockoffs. Because the sleep-bag Demon Slayer figs are gashapon and not to be sold boxed. The listings often say “modified” or “China” version. The legit ones have a raised copyright on the bottom of the figure, but from what I have seen in the boxed versions, they don’t have the copyright on the bottom.
I only collect authentic toys, so it is something I always do research on. There might be others who might be interested on these as well, and only collect legit stuff. That’s why I bother to pass info along. The Megahouse legitimate (trading) figures usually have a sticker as well, like the blue Pierrot metallic one in my photos. Unlike with my DamToys Leon, I’m very happy with these two, even if a bit overpriced for what they are. (:
