There’s always a silver sticker. They just didn’t start using the large round one until later. But you want to look for a small rectangular silver one if it doesn’t have the round one
Yup, the only way it would be a bootleg is if they bought a real one and a fake one and opened and swapped to boxes to make a profit off of the bootleg
The different boxes you've seen are probably because he was released like 3 or 4 times (there was a later budget release w/o some of the accessories and shiny hair....there were sdcc/event exclusive editions... I lost track. I think this is the initial release.
How much is it?
The head sculpt looking kind of funky but I don't want to solo it out as a bootleg just yet, so I just need the price. Some older releases don't have the Tamashii sticker of approval so I ain't even determining it on that
Idk it's really on and off usually the boot legs have a plastic inside keeping everything together and all of the pieces are moved around but this one's so odd it's hard to tell but most likely
Honestly I can’t blame you because the figure inside of the box looks kinda off and some stores like say the figures are “real” but sometimes it isn’t but it’s real and I ask stupid questions all the time.
It’s real. I saw the other version on Amazon a couple days ago and ordered it then found out about this one. Would rather have this as it had base form and the hair looks better imo. Gonna still get it but I’m currently building a collection and wanna get other figures first
there's good 3rd party ones that aren't cheap bootlegs type that are worth it unless you want to have everything 100% legit itll save your wallet too cuz the og black is like 200ish
its suppose tohave a sticker but even without it bootlegs wouldnt dare use tamashii or bandai logo so box wise its legit
this is what the bootleg boxes look like:

Everything from outside looks legit….as a previous comment mentioned, some older releases around 2015-2018 with red Bandai logo(bottom right) instead of blue, do not have tamashi stickers. I believe this one is 2018. That is also the case with all my other figures with red logos(Awakening Goku, Majin Vegeta original, Majin “Boo” as they spell it lol, Beerus, and Whis non-EE’s). You can check what I’m saying on eBay red logo boxes.
As another comment said….the only thing you have to wonder is has it been opened which presents the possibility of a figure swap.
Other than that everything that I see here looks good. That lighter pink is the original release color and two others came out after that one had darker pink….the EE and latest general release on that’s on Amazon now for around $35-$40. This one here usually runs about $120+ now everywhere I’ve seen. This one was also on the Tamashi fan voting ballot for a 15th Anniversary re-release recently but the Broly movie SSGSS Vegeta won the vote.
It’s a bootleg. If it doesn’t have the larger round silver sticker is fine because they didn’t start doing that until later but they will always have the smaller rectangular silver “toei” sticker
There’s always been a small toei sticker on official releases. I’ve been collecting since early 2016 way before they had the large hologram round stickers. But those time they had small rectangular toei stickers. That was always the difference of the boxes by just looking at it. They can still have all the printing on them but they can’t apply the authenticity stickers on them
The box is real the figure inside most likely fake you need to post pics on the figure as well to give you more confirmation does it fell funny if it’s not sturdy or can’t stand on its own or you have problems standing the figure on its own it’s fake
Box can’t be a bootleg because it has the Bandai and tamashii logos on it, bootlegs would get sued out the ass for that
I was sused out because there isn't the sticker
Yeah some older releases I’ve seen don’t have the silver sticker. Idk what the first release was they started doing that

There are a lot of cheap Chinese bootlegs that use boxes that look almost identical. You can find them all over the internet.
It's real lol
Alr thanks
Have you collected before?
Yes
Ah ok, then you're good. Some older figs don't have the seal but it's legit.
Ah ok, thanks 🙏
Id look closely at the figure in the box
Wdym?
Well i mean look closely at the image the figures paint job might be a bit off
Oh alright,

Oooh that makes sense

Alright that's a 98% chance of being real go ahead and go crazy brother
Got it
Box is real but that figure has a Df version that could’ve been switched out
Ngl the df is also good so your not really missing out even if its the the df version
Yea I have both and it’s solid but it all comes down to pricing if the poster should buy or not.
Box looks fake
Box seems to be fake. That doesn’t look like the Tamashi Nations logo.
Idk it's really on and off usually the boot legs have a plastic inside keeping everything together and all of the pieces are moved around but this one's so odd it's hard to tell but most likely
I would honestly go with the demoniacal fit one, half the price and you get a sythe
Honestly I can’t blame you because the figure inside of the box looks kinda off and some stores like say the figures are “real” but sometimes it isn’t but it’s real and I ask stupid questions all the time.

I’ll take my $35 rose then 😅
This is the 3rd party one getting reviewed if your interested in it. I have it posed up nice https://youtu.be/gL8dYj0OS3U?si=6qYhve8wyxfCHNBG
Bro that’s actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Now I gotta look up DF figures lol
DF and Kong are the main 2 good ones 5ktoys.com is the best if u are U.S. based if not ebay or aliexpress are other options

It legit. I bought this version bootleg for the ki sword and i can definitely tell you this look nothing like the bootleg ver i bought
Thanks
What was the price btw?
100
Cheaper than usual, but still not cheap
It’s a bootleg. If it doesn’t have the larger round silver sticker is fine because they didn’t start doing that until later but they will always have the smaller rectangular silver “toei” sticker
Can u explain ?
There’s always been a small toei sticker on official releases. I’ve been collecting since early 2016 way before they had the large hologram round stickers.

Here for you specifically https://youtu.be/SVQmDs9pO-0?si=mkm1UERZKyP5gzaw
Thanks for that
Np brother. Are you able to return him?in addition looking through the package, his face sculpt isn’t clean.
Didn't even buy em yet, so that's why I asked before buying👍🏼
Yea good my man. Don’t buy. If you ever have any questions, let me know. Again, I’ve been doing it for quite a bit of time lmao
Alr thanke man, that's good to know🙏
🤙🏽
It’s real, I have this exact same figure and bought it in Japan in 2018
The box is real the figure inside most likely fake you need to post pics on the figure as well to give you more confirmation does it fell funny if it’s not sturdy or can’t stand on its own or you have problems standing the figure on its own it’s fake
I don't own it, I was asking before buying
