tfsd figure collection rukawa (BOOTLEG)

Knowing this webmaster and his love for Rukawa you'd imagine he owns a lot of merch... I actually don't! The main reason is really simple. Rukawa is really popular, especially among newer fans it seems. Resellers of course know this so basically there's this ive Wonyoung (this is a neutral connotation i love wony) situation where some figure of anyone in Shohoku goes for a certain price, while Rukawa goes for double. So yeah, the monetary aspect is the main reason why I only own this little Rukawa. And it's because of my limited funds and me being gullible that I... actually got scammed! Upon closer look, you can see that there's some things that are off even compared to the Sakuragi figure, for example the font on the base being sightly different. Honestly I'm not surprised I stumbled upon a bootleg, the thing that actually surprised me is how FAST these bootlegs appeared! How did they get the sculpts so quick, the movie hadn't even been out for a full year! Anyway, despite him being a bootleg I really don't have a desire to get a genuine one since they go for 40 bucks used. Great news, though! they opened a second run of preorders for all the minis on the merch site so I now can have one for its real price, which is like, 10 bucks actually. I still love him nonetheless and I think he's adorable. He does fall off the stand often though...
