Bootleg: X-Plus Super Majin Buu (13 inch)


New, a round of applause to anyone who can drop 3 digits on a figure without having that immense feeling of regret. You win. You have everything. But, to all my fellow poor people. I know you all are busy splitting your last bake bean under an overpass. I just want to let you know, "your important too." 

So, I bought this X-Plus Super Majin Buu PVC figure from Aliexpress. Not bad I must say. Not bad at all. I spent maybe about $40 when it retails at 80-100. The paint job looks great. Not really much you could goof. A few years ago though, buying a bootleg figure seemed to be something I was most afraid. Research for an online retailer would take weeks. Screening reviews and cross referencing them from different sites was a must. Checking out message boards and youtube video. Interrogating and waterboarding sketchy eBay sellers. I did it all (except for the last thing, kinda). But I don't even know what to say at this point. Like, bootlegs really aren't that bad when it comes to an alternative to buy a costly figures. And when I say figure, I'm talking mainly PVC. Don't worry you sweet little head over bootlegs figures with articulation, best leave that shit to a legit purchase.
