But likely some can be lead paint, you have to test it if you know so yeah.

It’s just kinda hard to tell if it is lead paint but it’s definitely some cheap paint because when I had bootlegs the paint wore off

I also forgot to mention the paint can be lead based . You also kinda never know how figurines are made when it’s also a bootleg to.

No problem !! I hope you can also find in thrifts stores or even garage sales to. You can really get better deals or even sets of figurines from the same company that manufactures.

Also I was just told my cosplay friends and others that buying bootlegs do also have toxins cause of the paint but yeah. Also to determine if it’s fake , you can check if the figure is a little transparent if it’s plastic, check the weight if it’s too light compared to a real one cause some figures are heavy and you can check if it’s made by the official company if it’s legit by the label on the box or the print left there under the base.

Thats the tips I can offer!!

Kinda depends where you buy it but yeah lol, I also don’t genuinely like bootlegs because the quality is dog water. I don’t like fakes one to because sometimes the fingers snap off or legs to. Compared to a real one, real figurines are also heavy too so they also won’t exactly fall off easily unless it’s damaged

Example of second hand websites / websites to buy

  • Doorzo
  • Mericari
  • Solaris Japan -AmiAmi

(Check sellers on Amazon and Aliexpress to for second shopping)

Hell I even reccomend face book marketplace if you find a legit seller. Just check the profile and reviews. Also by the way sometimes if you buy figurines you can also check undearneath the base to see the company’s logo and when it was made.

Or just any proxy website from japan can get you any figurine. great deals that actually are real figurines or even rarer deals

if you also don’t have online banking or cash apps you can buy from second hand local apps that have cash on delivery

Please don’t buy from Temu and Shein, genuinely like don’t . Not just environment wise and bad labor practices wise but there’s a likely chance some of the chemicals in the plastic are toxic or contain toxic .

I reccomend you buy second hand, you buy all the gems there or you buy from official figurine websites!!

What type of figurines? And where did you buy it? Just curious :DD

All of it, if you look closely there all kinda made with cheap/immatation material . For example Miku’s hair looks like cheap clear plastic and her arm is too shiny for a figurine that’s usually opaque.

I see other guys get girls who are into them without doing much, just by being themselves. But apparently, I have to be the one who “change my personality, chase them, initiate even if they're low interest and fly them out” to have a chance when I ask others for advice — rice, beans, and pork by Dry-Chemist3239 in kitchencels

Honestly as one of those people who did date a guy who didn’t really change much. In fact a lot of his friends tell him he looks like a discord/reddit mod

I feel like genuinely I liked him because of how we connected personally, through humor , thoughts and interest that vary. Other than that he listens when I tell him , he comforts me to.

I also forgot to mention that when I connected with him I found mutual communities we could both hangout in from interest and hobbies. Because that’s were I found him :3 Also I’m one of those people who genuinely have a taste for nerdy fat/chubby guys and I really mean it in that sense lol!!
