Yeah, that looks kinda like those cheap bootleg things. I'm generally tired of all the chibi merch for this and the lack of high quality proper figurines (not that I'd buy it at this point because I've been out of the fandom for a while but back in the day I would have seriously been tempted if a good quality figurine had existed back then).

yes thanks, I think you articulated that much better than I could.
I'd love to buy good quality stuff, instead there's a lot of bootleg-lookalike chibis coming out every five minutes

Doesn't help that, being a Chinese fandom, it's actually kind of difficult to actually buy the genuine official merch without depending on group orders. Because if you actually try to buy them on your own, chances are you're actually getting a cheap bootleg of something that already kinda looks like a bootleg.

Yes, sometimes I wonder, if that is the photo they show to sell it, what are you even going to receive when you buy it from not-exactly-reputable shops (that you can't avoid because it's the only kind of shop accessible to you)?

It can vary so, so much. Especially since 3D printing became more accessible, there are actually a wide variety of bootlegs, all ranging from "dear God what is this" over "can't see a difference" to "huh... this actually looks... better than the official version". It's wild.
