How Can You Tell a Figma Bootleg?

Last updated on November 27, 2022 @ 5:48 pm

When it comes to buying designer goods, there are always going to be fakes or knockoffs out there. This is especially true when it comes to high-end items like Figma collectible figures.

So, how can you tell if a Figma is a bootleg? Here are some things to look for:

    1. Check the price. If the price is too good to be true, it’s probably because the figure is a bootleg. Figma figures are not cheap, so if you see one being sold for much less than the retail price, it’s likely not a genuine product.

    2. Look at the quality of the figure. Bootlegs are often made with cheaper materials and inferior craftsmanship. This means that the figure might look slightly different from the real thing, or it might not be as well-made. If you’re unsure, compare the figure to photos of genuine Figma figures online.

    3. Check for spelling mistakes. One dead giveaway that a figure is a bootleg is if there are spelling mistakes on the box or on the figure itself. This is a common mistake made by manufacturers of counterfeit goods.

    4. Beware of sellers with no return policy. When buying a Figma figure (or any designer item), make sure that the seller has a return policy in case the item is not as described. This way, you can return the figure if it turns out to be a bootleg and get your money back.

How Can You Tell if a Figma Bootleg?

If you’re considering buying a Figma figure, be sure to check for these signs that it might be a bootleg product. By knowing what to look for, you can avoid being scammed and end up with an inferior product.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about purchasing a Figma bootleg, be aware that these products are not authorized or licensed by Figma and are of significantly lower quality. Additionally, Figma bootlegs may not be compatible with official Figma products and accessories.
