I don't like how the word "fake" is being thrown around with these. Fake connotes bootleg or counterfeit. These are genuine vintage figures placed in genuine vintage bubbles and cards; they simply aren't factory sealed. Yes, they misleading as to being in brand new, unopened condition, but they certainly aren't fake.

the indentation from the industrial press didnt damage every card back, so using that to make a judgment on whether its fake or not is potentially flawed
@oneplumpboi53175 жыл бұрын
Depends on the factory molds. We all know the blister coating (well atleast i know) required 10 psi of pressure on the card and had to be baked close to 130 degrees for about 5 seconds simultaneuosly. The molds is what resulted in different card back damage. but one thing is to be sure. The were all indented, as in had a press mark. If it doesnt have the smallest slight press mark, i’d believe it’s be a fake card. Alot of people are misled to believe that “not all have this blah blah blah, and this mostly comes from people who wont admit they were ripped off. The molds used to hold the blister could’ve been set too high or low, resulting in a clearly protruding or barely protruding blister edge. They all prodtruded just so you know... As for the waffle pattern. That secret is staying with me. Might get in trouble if I “Help scammers make it easier to reproduce stuff”

So they are REAL figures, and real card backs, and real bubbles, he's just assembling them himself and selling them. Sound like the collectors are a bunch of whiny bitches. calling them "fake figures" is lie, they are resealed figures.
@Johnny66669 жыл бұрын
RetroRobotRadio The issue is that they are being sold to collectors as carded figures - unbroken, unopened, etc. There is a premium paid (obviously) for figures that have been authentically produced by Kenner and not been opened, and for someone to sell reassembled figures as such is outright deception and counterfeiting. These collectors are not 'whining'. They have been deceived (at a high price), and the item they have bought is indeed 'fake': i.e. they are not sealed figures as originally produced and sold (which is a distinct category of figure), but re-carded, reassembled and repainted figures (another category entirely). If you can't understand that, then...well.
@RetroRobotRadio9 жыл бұрын
Technically he did not lie if he said they are Mint on Sealed Card figures. They are mint condition, the are sealed, they are on a card. It's just that they are resealed on the cards. Even the cards and the plastic bubbles are authentic original parts from the factory.
