You'll see a lot of knockoffs there too. It is located in San Juan, a city in Metro Manila, Philippines. Greenhills shopping center has various stores where you can get good bargains including toys.

Imagine being happy and selling your art, and one of your unfaithful customers makes a mold of your sculpture and replicates it. they open a store beside yours and make money from your art. i think many people who own fake nendoroids have never seen or played with real ones.How could they? They go to conventions and stores online and run into this stuff on a normal search. If it looks perfect, it's real. If there's a detail to question about it, it's fake. by the way, what is Greenhills? Is it a store? As for fakes, the Nendoroids of Miku and Remilia scarlett nendoroids my friend gave me are fake. when i first recieved them, I thought they were old and dirty. but after reading this, i can confirm, they too, are FAKE.

I feel bad for the original artist who spent a lot of time creating a product while others profit from an inferior copy of it. :( It’s sad to see that some people are buying/selling fake products.

But I went to a store at the mall in America, supposed to be Japanese, and I saw the similar shaped nendoroid, but painted funny. details were missing. I was freaked out, and they had whole glass cases selling various figurines, and I could tell that 99 percent of them were weird looking. especially pokemon. ugh. And more disturbing.... they had nendoroid keychains...tons of fake nendoroids impaled through their heads! most of the merchandise was cheap and fake looking. All the posters were too vivid, all packages, too. weird badges with random pictures shot from anime, illegit wallets and jewelry. the lady at the couter was chinese.the store had a no-return policy. figures. It's sad what China will do to gain money. It hurts my country.... ugh. When I was in Japan, I bought a nendoroid,

The price was RM39.90, or just over $13 - I assume that it was fake? I also got a 106 Black Rock Shooter for the same price. I'm getting an original one tomorrow (at least it's selling for the price of the normal original Nendoroids). Hopefully it's real, and I can compare the two.

I bought an L nendoroid off of ebay and it was cheaply priced! He should be coming in the mail any day now, I swear I'm gonna cry if he's a bootleg. Stupid scammers! Man I am so scared!

My Light Nendoroid is fake. I see like 90% of people on here got counterfeit ones too...*sigh* Well at least I know why his legs snapped off so easily. But it's worth it; nothing some superglue can't fix. I still feel really bad though. Should have looked into the whole 'fake Nendoroids' thing. Maybe when I get L I will look for a REAL Japanese dealer and get the real one. I got my Light for like $24. He's really shiny, and his eyes are a little badly painted. And the case was same with me and Angel. Light is fake, and I believe the box is real. Blahhhh... Oh my gosh. My Light Nendoroid is fake.

And guess what; No refunds or returns! She is so bad-looking, her paint is already scuffed a bit, it's so annoying! Then again, don't trust eBay for figurines like Nendoroids, most Hong Kong sellers sell fakes/replicas etc. I got the Miku fake Nendoroid from Hong Kong, biggest buying mistake I ever made. Does anyone know any good UK/USA sites that sell anime figurines? I can't find any decent ones.

Yes, I'm Pinoy. ^^ You should always be careful when buying Nendoroids in Greenhills. With the prices you mentioned, they are most likely fakes. Genuine Nendoroids cost around Php 1600 and up depending on where you'll buy it. I usually buy from <a href="http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english" rel="nofollow">AmiAmi</a>, <a href="http://omniclone.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Omniclone toys</a> and sometimes I buy from Great Toys and Wasabi Toys which are both located in Greenhills. Great Toys has a branch in Makati too. Hello Rainie. Yes, I’m Pinoy. ^^ You should always be careful when buying Nendoroids in Greenhills. With the prices you mentioned, they are most likely fakes.

Are you a Filipino? Cause I've been to Greenhills just recently and I bought a nendoroid there...And it cost Php350 only! In Comic Alley, they sell nendoroids just for P590. I also bought one there. Sheesh...so all my nendoroid were fakes? Hello! Are you a Filipino? Cause I’ve been to Greenhills just recently and I bought a nendoroid there…And it cost Php350 only!
