secondly, there are most definitely bootlegs for this Cammy, here is what they look like in general:

I don’t have too many polystone figures from Western manufacturers but from what I’ve seen, anime PVC figures are far superior in quality. I saw some pictures of Sideshow’s Rogue PF that look absolutely hideous, and I’m regretting preordering their Psylocke PF statue. I’d be inclined to cancel it if I hadn’t already paid a preorder deposit.

I just ordered one of the pink versions to compare, although based on what you have said it seems that comparing them might not be all that useful.

I’d actually like to get all of the – blue, pink, black and white. I’m more experience with PF statues like Pop Culture Shock or Sota. I don’t know much about PVC.

The box I have seems the same except I don’t have the blue circle in the bottom right hand corner (not sure if this is a sticker that came off).

The sculpt really is amazing.

The paint job is sloppy though and from everything I have read I’ve read there’s either a lot of bootlegs out there, or it is just not a great paint job. But like I said, I’m more used to the Premium Format Statues, not the mass produced PVC figures/statues.
And I know that the mass produced PVC statues/figures have their faults.

having said all that. My figure looks exactly the same as the one above.
When I look at the one above it looks to me like there is a yellowish hue / a kind of varnish overkill on the white clothing.
Mine’s a bit dirtier and needs cleaning.
The right hand side of the face has too much paint and the lower eyelash is slightly off – like 1/2 a millimeter off the bottom of the eye.
some of the really detailed parts are great though. Her nails are silver, as are her lips and eyebrows, as well as the cut on her face.
It’s definitely the same as the figure above.
Apart from the blue stain on the base….which is exactly the same as one that sold on eBay recently!

Whatever I have, I think it’s the same as what you have/had.
I really love it. I just hate the yellowish hue on the white…….

I have no clue about what was sold at Wonder Festival, but REFLECT’s sculpts are often sold as unassembled model kits before somebody makes a PVC version and back then, I think model kits got much more of a focus than mass-manufactured PVC figures.

Yeah, they made PVC versions of the figure. Looking back through my e-mail, I got mine back in February 2006 (for $69 + $5 shipping). They made two versions of Cammy, one white (Authentic White) and one black (Fascinating Black or something like that). Some time later, they re-released this figure in pink and blue versions (not to be confused with the REFLECT-sculpted Cammy that Yamato manufactured), but those figures don’t seem to be nearly as in demand as the original two figures. I remember seeing them in the bargain bin of a US retailer for a relatively cheap price not that long ago.

I’m certain there were bootleg versions of this figure, as there are of many figure, though honestly, I’d have no idea how to tell. Generally a really sloppy paint job is suggestive of a bootleg, as is a peculiarly glossy finish, particularly on the skin, but that’s not always the case, and with a figure this old, though, I think it’d be harder to tell. On eBay, my rule of thumb is anything that comes from a Chinese seller is probably a bootleg and anything that comes from a Japanese seller probably is not.

I guess where there is a big grey area for me where I have a lot of questions:

1. What was sold at wonderfest 2005? how many where there? and what are they worth?

2. Did they in fact as I have read go on to create PVC versions (which is what I have). And if so, how many? Because for some reason the white and black PVC are priced higher (at least on eBay) than say the pink.

3. Were there bootleg versions? If so, how can you tell?

The sculpt is amazing. But the paint job is so weird. There is this sort of varnish finish on her white clothes that is yellow in colour. It makes the figure looked aged.

And the facial skin colour is so strange. Like a spray tan that overflowed onto the hair…..

Thanks fo your help!

This review shows this figure with the blue base, and so does entry at Mandarake.

I mean, as bootlegs go it’s pretty damn good, but still.

I’m not really sure what to do with mine. Send it back? Have it touched up (paint job I mean) and display it?
