Unlucky box : what a scam!

Today I'll talk about a little misfortune that has happend to me a few days ago,

after finally reciving a lucky box ordered two weeks ago.

Before starting I'll simply explain what is a lucky box :

Also know as Mystery Box or Blind bag, it is a package containing a random item related to some sort of media, you can buy one online or during conventions,

but there's something important to know about them, lots are scams! X(

It happens oftenly to find inside low quality items or left-overs, stuff that no one wants to own that the sellers are trying to get rid of.

Even if I was well aware of all the things I've just said, I still gave a try to the one I had bought

by trusting the reviews; All those who bought the same exact box were super happy about their package, showing pictures of Anime figures, apparently all original, in perfect conditions.

Not just normal figures, but big ones, such as prize figs or scales, those type of statues that usually costs from resellers from 25 to 40 €.

the price that this vendor was charging was 10 € for a random character, no box included, 

I immediately placed an order, already daydreaming about which one I was going to get.

>Delivery day

As the days went by, in not even two weeks I had already recived a message informing me the delivery of the package, I was so thrilled and exicted to finally open the package and find...a total delusion :(

I didn't recive a prize figure or a scale one, I recived a bootleg <3333

Bootlegs are counterfeit version of already existing things, going against copyright rules by stealing their designs and repeating them with low quality materials that are way cheaper and sometimes even toxic, being harmful for the owners safety.

Bootlegs mostly affects both the collecting and the toys industries, for going after popular brands.

I had the luck (yeah sure) to get a fake Qposket of Rem, one of the main protagonists of Re:Zero,

an Anime that I don't even like.

The figure has painting stains in small spots

 

  

.Here are some examples.

>Conclusions

Am I satisfied with this order? Not really :(

Am I gonna sell her or throw her away? 

Nah, that's a spoiled behaviour that doesn't stick to me at all, I'm gonna keep her as imperfect as she is.

The only answer I can give to myself is that all those reviews are fake, like, I won't ever believe that the same person who gave me this, provider for other ppl such high quality merch.

What's the lesson I've learned? To not trust lucky boxes ever again.

.Life in plastic isn't fantastic.
