Konnichiwa, dear otakus!
If you've ever looked for anime figures, you know: the selection is huge.
Unfortunately, there are also many fakes among them. Cheap imitations constantly appear, especially for popular characters like Power, Gojo, and Rem.
To ensure you don't make a bad purchase and only put genuine, licensed figures on your shelf, I'll show you in this blog post what you should definitely pay attention to.
This way you can immediately recognize originals and protect yourself from disappointment.
1. Look at the manufacturer's logo
Very important: Official manufacturers like Good Smile Company, SEGA, Banpresto, or Max Factory always print their logo on the packaging. If it's missing or looks strange, it's best to steer clear.
2. Is there a hologram or security seal?
Many companies include a small holographic sticker or security label on the packaging. It's usually located somewhere on the side or back. This is a good sign that the figure is authentic.
3. Details say everything
Original figures are beautifully crafted. They have fine lines, clear colors, and clean transitions. If something seems cheap or the head is slightly crooked, it's probably a fake. 
4. The price reveals a lot
If you come across a figure for €20 when it costs €80 everywhere else, you should be suspicious. Sure, everyone likes a bargain, but with collectible figures, such a price difference is almost never a good sign.
5. Buy only from reputable shops
In our shop, you'll find only officially licensed figures. No fakes, no bootlegs, no cheap junk. We carefully monitor the origins of our products and only work with reputable wholesalers from Europe and Japan.

If you pay attention to things like logos, packaging, details, and price, and ideally buy from a trustworthy shop like OtakuOasis , you'll be on the safe side.
