There are really a lot of fake "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". "Demon Slayer" has finally reached its final episode in the manga, so I feel that it will become even more rare again in the future. I wonder if the first season of the anime will be finished, leading to a movie and then the start of the second anime season (it has begun. Sorry, this blog is a bit old...). I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the future.

In this article, I'll be introducing the prize figure "Kizuna no Sou: Type 2 (Ni no
kata)" [Nezuko Kamado], comparing the fake with the real one.

Prizes are crane game prizes. This is a crane game that can be found in amusement arcades, and the "Demon Slayer" is one of its prizes. But thee prize figures are very popular, and "Demon Slayer" is currently sold online for over 13.000 JPY. And some are over 17.000 JPY (May 2020).

There aren't many figures of "Demon Slayer" itself. That's why the current prize and "Ichiban Kuji" figures are so expensive. Since it has such a rare value, I think it is a natural flow as a market movement.

The problem is that fakes naturally appear in the market. As the market becomes more active, so does the counterfeit.

For example, Star Wars is easy to understand, but when a new movie starts, the price of Star Wars figures goes up, and when it ends and there is a breather, it will return to the original market price.

So, although "Demon Slayer" has reached its final episode in the manga, but in October 2020, the movie version of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Mugen Train" will start, so be careful because there will be many fakes circulating as the price rises and the market starts to move.

Also, if the manufacturer releases a new "Demon Slayer" figure, it may get a
premium prices.

In order to avoid being a victim of counterfeit products, I would like to provide some information on the differences between fake and real products and their points.

I've also compared Nezuko and Tanjiro from the "Ichiban Kuji" in other videos about the "Demon Slayer" series, so please take a look at those as well.

Now, I'd like to compare the fake with the real one.

The most important aspect of the package is the "manufacturer logo" and the
"copyright logo". In this case, Nezuko has the BANDAI logo and the Banpresto
copyright logo. The fake package does not have both.

It can be on the side, but the phone number may not be there or may be listed differently.

Let's compare the actual products.

At a quick glance, I think the fake one is one size smaller than the original.

If you compare the faces up close, it's obvious you can see the difference. Since it's a prize, it's not as if it's of crazy high quality, but the fake one is even
more crudely made and clearly different.

I was surprised to se the feet... It's a little creepy. The color is a bit weird,
and it doesn't fit on the base, and it's kind of horrible...

I think this was one of the most messy and dirty figure comparisons I've seen
recently. I would suggest choosing one that has the Banpresto logo and the BANDAI logo on the picture, even if it's online.

We are distributing a comparison video of fake and real, but we are also doing "Pachimon NO" on Twitter, and we are posting a lot of information about fake products only on Twitter, so please take a look if you like.

It is also distributed on YouTube in more detail.

We will continue to upload fake and real comparison videos. Thank you for your support.
