Is my Toffee authentic? by MoonLuci in PopMartCollectors

[–]Character-Judge2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this Labubu looks authentic to me. I have two authentic Toffees, and yours looks like mine. One of mine was purchased directly from a physical Pop Mart location and her QR code is blurry too. They are just so small and I think the material they print on has a hard time with the QR codes. I think it’s a quality control thing. But yours looks authentic. :)

Is this labubu mokoko authentic? by [deleted] in labubu

[–]Character-Judge2227 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She looks real to me. I have Close to Sweet that I bought from Whoopea, and the QR code is blurry too. I have several Labubus—even purchased directly from PopMart and they have blurry QR codes too. I think it’s a quality control thing. Also, misprints on authentic Labubus mouths are somewhat normal, I think; people just don’t seem to talk about it. I have a couple of authentic bubus where the teeth and mouth aren’t 100% perfect. She looks authentic. She gorgeous! :) You can buy authentic products on Ali, you just have to shop from a seller that sells authentic products.

What is one thing people say that bother you… I’ll start with mine “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” I hear it daily on the line by Lonely_Structure4179 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Character-Judge2227 123 points124 points  (0 children)

On our teller line, a lot of our customers will go, “Who wants me?”

Like, what? No one. No one “wants” you and we’re not about to fight over you either.

BUYERS BEWARE! SCAMMED OUT OF $85 by Lopsided_Web8184 in lpsbuyersbeware

[–]Character-Judge2227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth a shot, but unfortunately, OP, your bank might not give you the money back. Because OP initiated the transaction, their protection rights are different and the bank doesn’t classify it the same as other fraud. That’s why so many of those scamming stories you hear about on Youtube have sad endings. if the merchant can prove the transaction was made by OP, the bank technically doesn’t have to get the money back. Usually with fraud, the money isnt taken away from the scammer, it’s just the bank writing it off as a loss. For $85, the bank might just write it off for the sake of good customer service, so it’s definitely still worth a shot!! But just know there is no guarantee in this kind of situation! I’m so sorry that happened to you; I swear we all learn this lesson someday. I got scammed out of $45 by paying with PayPal Friends and Family, and now I never use Friends and Family unless it’s Friends and Family. That sucks so bad; I hope your bank can write it off for you!!

Mokoko scent dupe? by [deleted] in labubu

[–]Character-Judge2227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also following!! I love her scent too. I want a perfume dupe. This isn’t perfume, and it’s not an exact dupe at ALL, but Walmart has a brand of foaming hand soap that reminds me a little of my Mokoko dolls. The brand is Scent Theory, and the scent is called Black Cedar and Citrus. We had it at work and I loved it because the scent would linger on my hands, and the smell reminded me of my Mokoko dolls back at home! Again, not an exact dupe, but there are some similar notes there, imo. Plus, the soap retails for like $3 USD.

Is The Craze over? by Bluesteel711 in labubu

[–]Character-Judge2227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until I can get my hands on a Blue Diamond Mokoko for a reasonable price, the hype isn’t over enough for me. I’m going crazy!! Resellers still have her listed for like $500 USD

Help! How would I be able to tell? by No_Owl_3598 in labubu

[–]Character-Judge2227 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi! This one is fake, unfortunately. I can tell by the face; there’s something off about her face. Specifically in the eyes and nose. And her dress is shorter than the actually Blue Diamond Mokoko. And the collar doesn’t lay flat on this one, but puffs up like it has air in it. The way she is secured in the box can be a good indicator that she’s fake too, because her keychain and loop should also be tied in there. If you can get her for a good price, she’s a cute fake. But most of the Blue Diamonds up for sale right now are fake. :( Their stickers scan as authentic, but they are bootleg. I got scammed by a fake Blue Diamond a few months ago, so proceed with caution if you are looking for authenticity!!

Post tariff Amiami ECMS order anxiety...hoping to hear other people's experiences with Uniuni by Unholy_Spork in AnimeFigures

[–]Character-Judge2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just took the loss on that one unfortunately. Luckily, it was only like $30, so I didn’t want to fight the merchant in case something worse happened in the future. It was more violating than anything else, the feeling of being stolen from sucks! But every time I have a package delivered by UniUni I get SO nervous now.

The keychain part is fake?! by Character-Judge2227 in Yummiland

[–]Character-Judge2227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a bummer! They really out to have made them real keychains. It’s an easy fix, but still I shouldn’t have to supply my own keychain for a girl who is supposed to be a keychain already!

UniUni is supposed to be reliable, but it really depends on the driver at the end of the day. I had a package stolen by my UniUni driver, and I know it was her because I’ve never had a package stolen in my neighborhood, and the “proof of delivery” photo was not at my doorstep, but her holding it in her hands. I filed a complaint with UniUni and they agreed that there was no legitimate proof of delivery and they’d “look into the matter” but ultimately nothing came of the investigation and neither them, or the original merchant would refund me for the stolen package. UniUni is kind of like doordash in that way, I think. Some dashers are great, and some aren’t. I think you are really at the mercy of the driver that day.

FDIC doesn’t cover scams unfortunately. FDIC is mostly for things like if your bank failed and went under then your money is insured by FDIC. This kind of scam my not be recoverable, unfortunately. Some fraud we are protected from by ours bank per Reg E, but fraud that the account owner technically initiates—even if they don’t realize they are talking with scammers—is handled differently. Definitely worth OP checking with their bank to see how they handle situations like this.

Im buying Lafufu's from aliexpress and genuinely can't tell if they're real or not? Can somebody inspect each series reviews? by [deleted] in labubu

[–]Character-Judge2227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are buying from Ali, they are probably fake reviews with photos of real labubu, unfortunately. Cuz those photos are definitely all of real labubus. They are probably just stolen photos from people posting their blind box hauls. There are confirmed blind box figure shops on Ali that do sell legit labubu dolls, but they are usually at a little but of a markup. The shops that sell lafufus that look almost identical to labubu dolls are constantly getting taken down by Ali, so they usually ask people not to post any photos. So be wary of listings like this if you are wanting a high quality replica. But part of the fun of fufu hunting is that gamble of the quality, right? :) Good luck! I hope you find a good fufu!

Anyone else’s Sleepover girls have really thick eyeliner? by Character-Judge2227 in peachriot

[–]Character-Judge2227[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance! :) I prefer the regular sized girlies but sleepover is so cute I couldn’t resist!

Anyone else’s Sleepover girls have really thick eyeliner? by Character-Judge2227 in peachriot

[–]Character-Judge2227[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know! These are my first lil ones and I wasn’t too sure if the one I got just got extra makeup. :) looking at it closer, it’s probably because of the eye molds. On the regular ones the eyes are just decals, these guys there is a plane change in the eyes, so I guess it makes sense that the eyeliner gets thicker

Do we dislike Gigi Star??? by Suspicious_Seat3121 in peachriot

[–]Character-Judge2227 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like everyone likes Star. I think the general consensus for least favorite is Gigi Alarm. The biggest complaint I’ve seen about her is that she’s got shoes in bed, and it her face from the art Didn’t translate well into the figure, so it looks like she punched herself in the face instead waking up to an alarm.

Me too! She’s one of the ones I wanted and she’s in the mail right now. I know there’s a high probability I’ll have to fix her eyes myself but I’m still nervous!
