> Supporting bootlegs is also bad. Don't buy bootlegs.>being this corporate cocksuckerthat aside, OP, one of the marks that would make you spot a fake nendo link is the belt, the original is more brownish and "soft", whereas the fake is plain black and the neck joint is pretty visible when he's not looking up
other points in consideration is the finish on the figure, the original looks more creamy while the bootleg is shiny.
getting a fake usually is not the best option, sometimes the joints are fragile or are not placed right, the paint will be shitty and the sculpt will obviously look worse, these defects could stand out more if you have other figures of the line next to it. there are exceptions sure (like the datong figuarts), but those are rare.
if you want him so you can make a custom and you found him cheap, as
>>5493970 said, go for it, but keep in mind that the end product will not be great
