I do. Quite frankly, it's the first figure I have that got broken. And, like I said at least it was fixable.

I recently bought a brand new Black Rock Shooter Beast, after looking at the pictures given, I noticed the flame seems odd, I was wondering if anyone know if they make knock offs of BRSB, it was also made in china, which concerns me since I assumed that figma was made in Japan, it was really cheap and new, is there any way to tell if it is a knock off when it arives?

I want to say that being made in China doesn't make it a knock-off, since everything is made in China nowadays...but I don't know that much about Figmas and the process of making the figures.

Could you post up a picture of her? Maybe some of the people who own BRSB Figmas can compare your figure with theirs.

this is the pic that worries me, the eye flame just seems wrong Image the closed eyes face also just seems off, like shes smiling or sleeping happily, even in the display pics the flame doesn't loop like that in her hair, does anyone know if this is legit?

Wow, that flame is so bad it makes it so much easier to spot a bootleg :P

Yeah, I think that may be a knockoff.

She didn't happen to come with the BLK art book, did she, Star?

well, I haven't gotten her yet, these are just pics from ebay so..., she might but she was advertised as just the figure, she looks good though, they sure got the details right in the pictures! she even comes in the same box as far as I can tell, I would cancel the order but it has already shipped so I'm stuck with it, oh well, it was cheap and looks good so who am I to complain (the plastic looks a bit rough though), is there anything I should be aware of though? and would anyone who actually has her mind posting pics of her fire eye?

well, I suppose if I had taken 20 seconds to look at the pictures better I would have noticed but I was to excited to find such a deal on her, if anyone else wants a knock off bootleg BRSB, this is the link to the ebay page: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-ROCK-SHOO ... 2c65f037c3 I suggest jut checking out the pictures to see how close it looks to real, it is really a same the china bootlegs so much, do they have no respct for copyrights? oh well, America gets most everything from them anyways so it can't be tat much different than other things I've bought here, it's just depressing knowing I got a bootleg! se is made of PVC like so many other figures though, but the paint jobs isn't great, maybe I'll try to sell her later and save up for insane BRS, but we'll see when she actually comes, who knows, I might like it better since so many recent figmas I've gotten have had joint break issues anyways (future BRS and strength)

edit: I changed my mind and demanded that the seller give me my money back and cancel the order, it has shipped supposedly already but I told him to get it back and I don't care or I will rate him the lowest I can, bootleging is not cool! I really hope I get my money back!

Though nothing can beat Sader yet.
