Well, I had just bought a Ranma 1/2 figure collection (for the first time in my life! WOOHOO!~ XD ) It has 5 sets in 1, which each cost (Malaysian Dollar) RM11.72 each [check out its approximate price-converted-with-my-country's-currency list of your country's currency below]

Quote:
(USA) US$3.03
(Europe) Euro$ 2.41
(Singapore) S$5.09
(Saudi Arabia) 12.20 Riyals
(UK) 10.72 Pounds
(Australia) Aus$ 4.18


Here's the sample: http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o220/kokuyu/Ranmainchat.jpghttp://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o220/kokuyu/12-1.jpg

As a first time buyer, I have no idea how to look for the best quality ^_^' . I first thought It's directly imported from Japan due to its expensive cost (in Malaysia). However, I got a shock :\

At the box, it has a Japanese company name, but included 3 words which are in contrast>>Click HERE
Besides, they were packed in a rather simple box, with this design:

Then, I checked the figures, some which has a 'scar'-like lines at its sides, like this one>>Click HERE.
In additional, the figures' hair are like assembled (example HERE)

The only thing I think has its authenticity is their eyes (example HERE)
Oh, not to forget, underneath each of these figures has a copyright name "Rumiko Takahashi".

Well, my problem is:
1. Are they of good quality?
2. Are they fakes or original?

If Made in China figures are okay, do they make cheaper but as good as Japan-made quality figures too? (I don't mean to degrade Chine-made stuff, but just want to learn about qualities ^^)

I kind of recall how Sader look like when mention made in china figures...anyway seriously they are cheaper but its very obvious there are not as good as Japan made quality figures.A box like those won't cost around $5 like that in my country,it usually cost more like around $7+ at least and more...

so i doubt it....

btw, what i doubted the most is its company. as mention before, it has Japanese company name but of made-in-china origins, which is rather suspicious to me. A sign of pirated stuff?

what's Sader? or Saber? o_0

malaysian! allrite! me too!
but thing is, things nowadays are ALWAYS 'made in china' so, it's okay..
the labor there is cheap, so ppl tend to make figures like that in china..
so the quality is a bit low, bear with it! :D
they look nice from the pics tho! :P

Sader is the name of the Made In China figures of Saber which officially given by many people,and its obvious you see this is definitely a fake

But from the packaging i see,it does'nt look fake to me...so to what i think,what you bought should be original.

hrmm? o_0 definitely making me losing my appetite....her face looks mockingly terrible. X-P

so to say, it means this Japanese company manufactures it in China in order to save cost?

If you look for quality, nothing's better than Kotobukiya, I think..... Really, those made-in-china are not quality productions, in my country, they say almost everything that has the "made in china" legend on it is a FAKE, because most of them aren't even made in china! But if you like it, there's no point in feeling wrong with it

So does China get these legalised to make it in China or is it just illegal manufacturing?

This is how I see it. The Japanese company owns the rights and have China mass produce the product.

I own quite a handful of figures made in China and are a majority of them were brought from respectable Japanese online stores. The figures have a copyright labled from the original companies. I don't think bootlegs would have the japaense copyright stamped on the product. They would probably use their own company name.
