Very good replica. It will look like the real thing. Regards Douw from South Africa

A quality DIE-CAST, worth the purchase. There are other manufacturers with greater detail however. For the money it provides a descent replica.

I would start by checking the sellers satisfaction rating and reviews. Fakes or bootlegs are almost always much much cheaper than the real thing. That is a big red flag. I'd say this probably isn't a bootleg. This figure in particular is new enough and unpopular enough that I would be surprised if there are fakes made already. Amazon should talks care of you if the seller misleads you. For me, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Looks real to me, but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it's definitely not cheap looking. It really is a classy looking round end table with three nice size storage draws. Try going on the Coaster website or give their customer service a call. They'll be able to tell you for sure.

I myself feel its more of a toy quality. No repair shops here in hawaii so if something were to go wrong, we'd have to kind of guess what it is and order the part. I've seen videos of people who use these types of machinery for hobbies. It's mainly up to you and how you use it.

Yes and no. It is essentially a model with some degree of detail that looks pretty good on a mantle. As a toy it is very functional but fragile as it cannot handle rough play. In my opinion, it is more of an underdeveloped model that is functional as a toy for an older child.

Not sure since I am not in familiar with how real they need the weapon to look. If you cover the red tip and don't take close film shots, it has a pretty authentic look. Additionally, it's weight is closer to reality than other practice weapons I have worked with.

The one I got was real and I've been happy with it. Looks like the same one that came with the camera. Hope this helps...

I believe it is a replica. Also ended up having an electrical issue. We had to fix it so the cord would not "swivel" anymore. Otherwise it would turn on and off.

Mines was real, the only problem is that it's freaking heavy and bulky!!! And it works perfectly fine. My husband just didn't like it cause it was extremely heavy and huge! Felt like a brick!

It looks authentic to me, it came in an Ontario box that looked brand new. It has Ontario markings on it.

NO. It is just a showpiece. And at that it is not very realistic. My recommendation is; JUST DON'T DO IT!

If you receive exactly what is in the photo, it should be original. I have bought many knock-offs from china, and none of them copy what is printed into the plastic of this one. I find the price to be strangely cheap for originals. That is the only funny thing.

Yes, This was my first figma, so I did not know the quality. I also wanted to know why this was $50 and the fakes on ebay are around $20. I ordered a fake one from ebay, and this one, and knowing nothing else prior about figmas, it was plainly obvious it was real even from the box, whereas with the fake, the boxes are very cheep, and when I ordered the fake its head fell off as I took it out of the box. With this figure it is still in the same pose that I left it in months ago, and thats even after using the figure in stop motions and things that usually wear down the joints and make them loose.

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

Frankly, yes these are all "knockoffs" of eachother, there is no "real one"....many many manufacturers producing almost identical versions. Most of them are awesome. I suspect you were very happy with yours once you saw how it performed, but it is very likely if you ordered another one today it wouldnt be exactly alike, you'd notice tiny differences.

I can't remember if thats the one I bought or not... But the one I got is pretty nice, cost me more then a 1.00 thou, maybe there on sale now.. I use it as a Prop in Photography... My advise is buy it, one Dollar worth the chance.. Tommy T
