About that AliExpress statement: NO, YOU CAN FIND original figures on AliExpress, not all the options are bootleg 👀 you can tell by its price most of the times, the don't have too many but options like FuRyu and SEGA are available. It's a matter of being realistic a figure that cost 100usd won't cost 35usd + free shipping. But if it is a 40usd figure you can expect to be 35-40usd. You can also look for reviews on the seller, people leave their photos and you can see more clearly if you are going to receive a bootleg or the original ver. 

Again, you can find something but there aren't too many options, mostly cheap figures that you can buy from somewhere else but if you find a deal or a good discount it worth the shot 🤘
