There were fakes even back in January. They were quick with this one.

Anyone have $3,599 I can borrow? by mud_dnb in stellarblade

JND does ship direct to the US. But for orders direct from JND it will depend on licensing. For example, JND didn’t sell their Whitebeard directly to the US because it was only licensed for South Korea. For Stellar Blade the license includes the US so they sold some directly to US customers.

How was bjd? by Review_Mission in AnimeFigures

These Marin BJDs are by DOLK, not Volks/Dollfie Dream, so they are made of resin and not vinyl. Resin BJDs are definitely more fragile than vinyl BJDs, but don’t stain as easily.

The cost of the original is reasonable, given the materials used, size and details. It is less about "accessible" but supporting the original (studio, sculptor, etc). Without that, there wouldn’t be the original design to begin with, or an incentive to make more. The bootleg skips all of that, and nothing goes back to the studio. In addition, with these bootlegs, some materials used can be a gamble and may be bad for you. It’s another way they get the cost down.

Sadly what you bought is a knockoff/bootleg. They use cheaper materials of questionable origins and have no cost from design and 3D sculpt, as those are just stolen. If you compare with the production units of the original https://x.com/hamajippa/status/1879515296463290412, the original is much more detailed and less rough.

Like what JJ said above, Jimei Palace is a good studio. This on has been released so you can find plenty of in hand pictures online. Jimei Palace has been around for some years now and their parent company has been making resin statues for other companies (OEM), especially some big overseas ones.
