Warning! Incoming Bootleg that I didn't specifically order! Figma 077 Haruhi Suzimiya Kouyo Academy version and other rage.

Well it's a rare blog about me bitching about how whitey is keeping me down! Not really, but Japanese sellers are pissing me off. I received my Kouyo Academy Haruhi on Saturday, and when I went to open her up, the leg broke off. The joint was just cracked. Then the arm and head proceeded to fall off.

 I thought it was just damaged, but after some research, I can confirm it's a bootleg. Yeah, why not bootleg someone like Shirou, who actually has some value ? The box was damaged, and the back just seemed odd.

The print ran in a few places as well. The easiest way to identify if it's a bootleg is the default face has her eyes closed, like so:

They're suppose to be open. Anyway I contacted JAPAN IMPORT on Amazon.com and they claimed it must have broken during transport, and offered to send a replacement. We shall see if that one is a bootleg too. I don't exactly have faith in them. On a retarded not, I received my Ryoko Asakura Figma too, bot of these were shipped a week after Itsuki and Yuki Figmas, and were shipped SAL, which supposedly takes longer than EMS. WTF. I now assume my Rin Mobip and Revoltech Unit 02 will come this week, and Itsuki, Yuki, and Asuka Figmas, and Revoltech Unit 05 MP will come sometime before I die, as their tracking hasn't budged in weeks. Fuck yeah, Christmas!

Alas poor Haruhi, I knew ye . . . IN AMERICA!

Well I did get these fun pictures out of the bootleg at least. On another rant, I fucking hate Mandrake's ordering system. It always tells me order error, though with no hints as to what the error is. I know I'm not banned, and changing my name, address, using my cellular network instead of internet to order, changing payments, NOTHING will get my order through. I emailed then, so lets hope they get back before the item is sold out. I want you to have my money, why won't you take it ? I've only successful gotten an order through three times with these fuckers and their broken ass system. They have great prices, but ordering is like castrating yourself with a rusty fork. UGHHHH.
