Fake Dollfie Dreams?!

For your info:

A couple of days I wrote an email to the VOLKS support:

"... Could you please tell me how I can identify if it’s a original VOLKS
doll or the copy from China. ..."

Today I got a reply from VOLKS:

" ... The counterfeit products are made really diversify these days.
Therefore, it might cause more disadvantage for our customers by
notifying the difference between the original and copied products
officially. As a result, we would like to refrain from notifying the way to
distinguish the counterfeit products, we kindly ask for your understanding. ..."

So they don't tell their customers, and I would say I'm a good customer who spend thousands of Yen at VOLKS cause I do love their dollfies, how to identify a fake product. My personal opinion is that this is the wrong strategy. In other words it's like "Buy direct from us an you will get an original. Everything else is not our problem."

I understand what they're saying though. If they come out and say the counterfeits can be identified by <thing A> <thing B> and <thing C>, the counterfeiters can then just change those things and then the ways to identify are wrong. That even assumes all the counterfeit dolls are the same; right now they probably are but that may not continue.

Something new related to this, probably, statement from Volks:

I already knew about the fake Snow Miku...then I've searched for photos of the fake Saber. I'm horrified, she looks really wrong...that's maybe a nice way to put it in words. At first I was being worried that mine might be fake but she looks way too good. Though, I'm quite sad about the fact that people really bought her...🤐

However, I really hope that Volks can handle these issues a lot better in the future. 🫥
