Greetings
I'm from Mexico and sadly I found collectibles very late in life, so I'm struggling to getting some old pieces , I have a question, how can detect fake collectibles, in this case, from Iron Studios, can I request the seller a serial number to check in the official page or some other advice, thanks, great to be in this community .

Hello and to the show, Paupaul!

Did you buy this from a retail store (Brick & Mortar or online) or from eBay?

Welcome! I've sold a lot of Iron Studios on eBay and have looked at a fair amount of listings to gauge price, etc. It is usually pretty easy to spot a fake based on feedback, where they're selling from and price. Always make sure they have a picture of the actual in-hand product versus just stock pictures from Iron Studios or Sideshow's site. That's often a dead giveaway if they don't want to show pictures of the actual product! Good luck.

From ebay, it looks good but is quite expensive so, Im trying to cover my butt before taking the risk.

Thanks, I asked some questions like the # of the statue , why is selling it and if he still has the original boxes, hope is enough to be sure is the real deal.

Darth Dennis said it best. Make sure the seller has lots of actual in-hand statue pics. Best of luck!
