Question for the Figuarts owners.
I picked up the Last Jedi Luke and am awaiting delivery. However I've noticed on ebay there are clearly a bunch of junky versions of these figures produced in China vs. the actual, official Figuarts releases.
Where do you guys get your Figuarts figures from? Also, any way to tell (other than the obvious detail of price) as to which ones are the real ones?
I picked up one of the China bootleg prints of ROTJ Luke just out of curiosity because it was so cheap. The coloration/paint job was off on a few things which I expected but the packaging looked very similar to what it seems like the packaging of the official releases look like.
Basically I don't want to spend 80 bucks on these, stateside, and have them not be legit. Any thoughts on this?

Maybang is a California shopbthat has some stock, as well as TheLargeAngryActionToyShop;). Stay away from any China sellers or any one on ebay that just says a State ex: New York US. Also, stay away from stock photos that are used, you always want to see the real thing. I think there is a sticker that Figuarts ises that proves authenticity, but I can’t remember, and most bootleggers have perfected a fake on those.

I pulled the trigger and paid $180 for SH Figuarts Qui-Gon Jinn. I regret not paying the msrp, which would have been $90 with shipping.

Is there a reason they haven't made any 6" figures of Padme?

Is there a reason they haven't made any 6" figures of Padme? Are they still making any of her in the 3.75 scale? If they've stopped all together in all scales, it's probably an issue getting the rights to Natalie Portman's likeness. It's why we never get any Jack Nicholson Joker figures....he's a dick about the royalties.

Yeah, Prequel figures are coming. I think it’s been because the new movies are capitalizing waves right now. Once Solo is out, we will have well over a year and half until the next movie comes out. I’d say, prepare to have this fall all the way up to next summer filed with Prequel and OT figures!

I appreciate the answers. I know I'm super late to this but I never saw any of the movies outside of the original three when I was kid. Seeing everyone pick up all these figures lately peaked my interest. So last week I sat down and watched everything from Episode 1 up till The Last Jedi.
I was looking at the Black Series figures and couldn't understand why there was no Padme. I also noticed a lack of a Attack of The Clones Anakin which I hope they make a figure of as well.

Padme is the last on the list of regrets.
