Buying Guides

You feel nervous about getting a Counterfeit Honkai Figure. Many collectors see that fake figures use bad materials. Some even have dangerous chemicals inside them. These problems can damage the anime industry. You want to stay away from these dangers. You can find fakes by looking for clear clues. Both new and experienced fans use these tips to be safe.

Paint Quality

When you look at a figure, the paint quality stands out right away. Authentic Honkai: Star Rail figures use careful paint application. You see sharp lines and smooth finishes. Counterfeit Honkai Figure products often fail in this area. They skip important quality checks, so you notice many flaws.

Sloppy Lines

You can spot a fake by checking the lines. Real figures have crisp, clean paint lines. The colors do not mix or bleed over the edges. Fakes often show messy work. You might see paint going outside the lines, especially on faces or small details. Sometimes, the paint looks thin or even missing in spots. Here are some common problems you might notice:

• Messy lines on faces or small parts

• Paint that goes over the edges

• Thin or missing paint, like bare legs or faded hair

Tip: Hold the figure close to the light. Sloppy lines and uneven paint become easier to spot.

Color Inconsistencies

Color is another big clue. Genuine figures have colors that match the character exactly. The finish looks smooth and even, often with a matte look. Counterfeit figures may have colors that look too bright, too dull, or just wrong. You might also see bubbles, cracks, or rough spots in the paint. These flaws show that the maker skipped important steps. Watch for these signs:

• Colors that do not match official images

• Bubbles or cracks in the paint

• Uneven or shiny surfaces instead of a smooth matte finish

If you see these problems, you may have a fake on your hands.

Materials

When you hold a real Honkai: Star Rail figure, you can tell it is different. Official figures use good materials like PVC and ABS. These plastics feel strong and smooth. Look at the table below to see what materials top brands use:

Cheap Plastic

You can tell a fake by how it feels in your hand. Real figures feel heavy and strong. The plastic is thick and smooth. Fake Honkai Figure products use cheap plastic. These fakes feel light and empty inside. The surface might feel rough or have lines you can see. Sometimes, the plastic even smells weird. This is because fake figures use unsafe materials.

Tip: Hold the figure and see how it feels. If it is too light or bends easily, it could be a fake.

Flimsy Build

How the figure is made is very important. Real figures have strong joints and stand up well. They do not wobble or fall over. Fakes have weak joints and do not balance well. You might see parts that do not fit or break off fast. The table below shows some main differences:

If a figure feels weak or breaks with little force, it is probably not real.

Packaging

When you look at a figure’s box, you can find clues. Real Honkai: Star Rail figure boxes look neat and professional. The pictures are clear. The cardboard feels strong. The printing looks perfect. Fake Honkai Figure boxes often look cheap or rushed. You might see missing logos. Some pictures look blurry. There can be spelling mistakes.

Missing Branding

Always check for official branding on the box. Real boxes have the newest Honkai: Star Rail logos. They have shiny holographic stickers. There is a serial number that matches official records from a source like the HoYoverse website. Fake boxes often do not have these things. Here are some things you might not see on a fake box:

• No official logo or an old logo

• No shiny holographic sticker or a fake one

• No serial number or a wrong number

If you see these problems, be careful. Missing details are a big warning sign.

Blurry Images

Image quality helps you know if a figure is real. Real boxes use strong cardboard. The images are bright and clear. Fake boxes use thin cardboard. The colors look faded. Logos can look stretched or blurry. Real holograms shine. Fake ones look dull or peel off.

You might see rough edges or parts that do not fit well on fake boxes. These problems show the maker did not care about quality.

Size and Scale

When you check a Honkai: Star Rail figure, size and scale give you important clues. Official figures follow strict measurements. Each character has a set height and width. Counterfeit figures often ignore these details. You might notice a figure that looks too big or too small compared to the real one.

Off Dimensions

You can spot a fake by measuring the figure. Real Honkai: Star Rail figures match the official size. For example, the Fu Xuan 1/7 scale figure stands 24 centimeters tall. The March 7th 1/7 scale figure reaches 28.5 centimeters. If your figure is much shorter or taller, it could be a fake. Use a ruler or tape measure to check the height and width.

Tip: Always compare your figure’s size to the official numbers. Even a small difference can mean the figure is not real.

Unusual Proportions

Proportions matter as much as size. Genuine figures have balanced arms, legs, and heads. Counterfeit figures often look odd. You might see a head that is too big or hands that look too small. Sometimes, the body shape feels off or the figure cannot stand straight. These mistakes happen because fake makers do not follow the original design.

• Look for arms or legs that seem too long or short.

• Check if the figure stands upright without leaning.

• Notice if the face or body looks stretched or squished.

If you see these problems, you should question the figure’s authenticity. Careful checking helps you avoid disappointment and keeps your collection true.

Counterfeit Honkai Figure Listings

When you shop online, you need to be careful. Some sellers try to hide fake Honkai: Star Rail figures. You can spot fakes by checking the listing and the seller. **Bahomu** only stocks official, licensed merchandise to protect our customers.

Overly Detailed Titles

Some listings have very long titles. Sellers add words like "anime," "rare," "official," and "limited edition." These titles look messy and hard to read. You might see "China version" or "new without box." Real figures do not have country versions. If a title has too many words, be careful.

Tip: Real listings use short, clear titles. If you see lots of words or strange claims, check the listing before you buy.

Suspicious Sellers

Always check who is selling the figure. Fake sellers often have low ratings or no reviews. Some sell figures for much less than normal. If a new figure has no box, that is a warning. Sellers from China or Hong Kong sometimes list fake figures. This happens a lot with Japanese items. You can find active discussions about suspicious sellers on forums like MyFigureCollection.

Here are signs of a suspicious seller:

• Very low prices compared to others

• No box for a new figure

• Seller is in China or Hong Kong

• Listing has lots of keywords

• Bad or blurry photos

You should always check the seller and compare prices. If a deal seems too good, it is probably a fake Honkai Figure.
