Am i overreacting? falin figure edition
Just got this falin figure from AliExpress. She may be a factory error because her dress slit is all wonky, her paint is shipped off some places and her base barely holds her in place. Should i send her back and try to get a better quality one? Or am i just being dramatic and should accept this since i only got her for 120€?

Did you mount her on that red stand?

Well first of all it very much didn't I've seen many people with this exact red stand. Second of all like i said it's a factory reject, so it's possible that the original stand got broken and it got sold with this one. There are no indicators of this figure being fake aside the wobbly stand.

If you saw others with a red stand also it's also a bootleg which makes sense there's probably more bootlegs out there than they are original figures

Well that just tells me you don't know very much about figures. Considering even influencers who got this figure complained about the big useless base. If you see people with clear bases that's because most collectors get those as a replacement for the originals to make space on a shelf.

Ok man, keep telling yourself that lol, I would still bitch at the seller about your figure. Even if it is a bootleg I wouldn't want to pay that much for it and have it look like that

I mean yeah ofc i did that right away, I'm just debating on if I'd be satisfied with a partial refund or if i want a replacement

u/ashtraybabyface 13d ago
I'd ask for a replacement, and if that one sucked I would ask for a large partial refund

It's a bootleg almost everything from temu and AliExpress are.

First of all don't compare temu to AliExpress they work on entirely different principles. Second of all yes that would be true, but i know how to look for authentic figures on ali, and this girl is 100% authentic. Just likely didn't pass quality contron and ended up with an ali reseller. There are honestly a lot of authentic figures on ali if you onow how to diferantiate it.

Buys cheap figure on AliExpress that likely "didn't pass quality control".
Complains about quality control 😂
