Buyer beware is all I am saying. Having been a victim, and seeing continued stories of China as the counterfeit capital of the world. From cigarettes, to cars, to pharmaceuticals, to golf clubs to toys. You name they fake it, and sometimes better than others as my recent disney pixar car experience showed.

Above is a decent story on the industry, though the stories abound. I would just use caution, especially with anything loose, though even packaging is easily reproduced.

Again, in the end, with this product you may very well be right since you've seen it yourself, especially at SDCC which essentially closes the issue. But with all products I would exercise caution. Call me paranoid, but in China it is a multi-billion dollar industry. That's just a fact.

Very true you can even see fake Transformers at Big Lots & Dollar General.
