But the bigger issue is that it is a fake...
Sorry but the side belt flaps should not be straight, they should be slightly hinged up.
Also the blue buttons are too dark, should be a lighter blue.

I also thought "factory sealed good condition" was an interesting choice of words.

But we need to see pics of the back of the stormtrooper and of course of the backside of the box to come up with a final assumption. Condition looks amazing though. |

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by Inknart on Dec 14, 2018 10:58:50 GMT 1, Actually , one of the giveaways for the fakes is the back too vents on the helmet and the back canister placing of the grooves. Heโs left those pics out.
They have very close fakes of this piece

But on this one the straight belt flaps is enough to say its fake, the blue buttons is a double confirmation. 1 because the color is off and 2 because its a messy job, u can see the paint spilled onto the body. The real ones only paint the top half of the button.

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by pada1 on Dec 15, 2018 9:57:34 GMT 1, are the comments stating it's a fake, based on the blue color running over the body (not being only sharp on the button)?
we should have a definitive guide on Kaws fakes... like how to spot the difference, with exact dimensions, weight, etc. This could help having any sale passing the test.

We definitely should do that since these are getting more and more expensive.
I have seen a couple of 100% legit stormtroopers with slight painting issues, guess this happens with toys made 10 years ago in China.
But the major points is that it hast straight belt flaps and you will not find this at the original versions (you canโt move them). Therefore, this particular stormtrooper listed here is FAKE.

There are blogs that do exactly this.
Try searching on the Kaws thread on the kidrobot forum or the Kaws Buy/Sell Facebook group.
There's a reluctance to be too vocal about all the differences though as it would help the people who make these fakes to improve them!

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by Eric Pause on Dec 16, 2018 15:05:34 GMT 1, There are many red flags on this piece that have been pointed out already. One more would be the missing hologram sticker on the box. It has the OriginalFake one, but there should be a 2nd sticker beside that from Tomy.

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by eye on Dec 16, 2018 16:48:44 GMT 1, Thank you for the detailed information and advice of the commentary. My figure has some different parts, but I think my eyes are thick. The belt end is also outside out. Is there a difference in the individual with the toy? I think that the state changes in the thing before ten years or more.but if worry, buyer decided don't buy.thanks.

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by Inknart on Dec 16, 2018 18:55:46 GMT 1, As Eric pointed out the Tomy sticker is a huge deal on this one.
I personally wouldn't touch one of the star wars figures now. They're honestly just too close now to the original ones. Unless you're buying from a friend or someone with 100% solid providence then I would stay away. These were hard enough to sort out 4 years ago, and auction sites can't even tell the difference, loads of the boba fett fakes sold with very minimal differences.
Maybe an OE someday, but doubtful due to these already being about the size of current OE's.

Please correct me if I am wrong but the canister placement, especially the grooves on the blue marked one are off. The grooves are not in the center of the canister. in this case the placement of the red one is right.

I think that might just be the angle of the photo... if I understand right? (I don't have one to compare).
The grooved section is slightly off centre on the real one, but not as far off centre as the red example.

KAWS starwars sculpture for a sale , by alk on Dec 17, 2018 20:53:38 GMT 1, The canister is hardest indicator to look for bc it can be distoted by the angle of the picture.
I like to look at the totality of the factors and 2 red flags is almost always a fake.
