Counterfeit Kotobukiya Items
Anyone collecting these Kotobukiya ArtFX+ statues know that they are not cheap, generally running around $50. The company has released a consumer warning alert letting their customers know of fakes that have been circulating around the web.
It has come to our attention that a company going by the name “Crazy Toys” is engaging in fraudulent and unlawful activity by manufacturing and distributing counterfeits of our Justice League ARTFX+ statues. Imitations of Superman and Green Lantern have currently begun to surface on the market. In an effort to inform and protect our customers from these inferior products we are providing the following insights as a general guideline of characteristics these bootlegs exhibit:
Product packaging consists of a cardboard box with wrap-around graphics and die-cut viewing window
Poor casting resulting in a lack of detail retention on the statue
Usage of inferior materials prone to warping and distortion
Missing or poorly applied paint
Magnets absent from the bottom of the statue’s feet
Bases missing the Justice League emblem or it remains unpainted
Kotobukiya appreciates your continued support and commitment when it comes to purchasing only officially licensed and manufactured products. If you have reason to believe a retailer is passing these items off as official ARTFX+ releases please contact us at questions@kotous.com.
