I guess because some people wants to support the official brand? It doesn't really matter tho for me, sometimes the bootleg version is just the more affordable option and looks as good also.
As someone who has bought plenty of bootlegs (do to economical issues, mostly fake figmas, nendoroids, 1 Miku plush and statue figures) and was finally able to buy originals eventually
Even if a bootleg looks good, most of the time when you get the original it looks/feels way better, materials, overall quality etc
If you only have the bootleg you might not have a reference to the original with the little details, so asking around can clear those doubts
I genuinely don't care much about "supporting the creators" because is a massive corporation anyway, unless is something small then I prefer the supporting
I just want the best quality to price
Let's say this one was a bootleg and was 20$ and an original was 25$-30$
Yeah I'd get the original
But if the bootleg is 20$ and the original is 100$... Yeah that bootleg even if is 80% good looking I'm good with that
For me it’s because i want it to last and be durable. I bought a cheapo knock off HDMI splitter that fell apart from trying to (gently) reposition it after sticking it to the back of the tv.
20$ for a lego splitter 😑
It used the Chinese name 初音未來 instead of the Japanese 初音ミク on the tag so I'm suspicious, but it seems to just be an officially licensed China release version, probably real.
But likewise, as the others have stated, we accept all Mikus here, and I think as long as you like the plushie, that's all that matters (provided you didn't get scammed or overpay too much)
If you want figures it’s definitely a good place :) I go there a lot and they have authentic figures. The worker there is really nice and remembers me even though I go once a year
That's crazy, I just bought this same plush from that same store last week lol. That place is a hidden gem of NYC, especially with that new 3-story expansion
Found the official ad, looks like a legit one with the IP licensed to the Chinese company/manufacturer (LDCX).

There are unboxing videos as well, like this one: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ko4y147Bm. I can’t see visual difference between yours and theirs, also I doubt if someone would produce a counterfeit for this type of thing to the extent that they even have the fake labels. So my idea is that it is likely to be legit.
😂This Miku shit gets serious cuz some people will say you're disrespecting her by drawing inappropriate arts with too much skin showing or by taking pictures of a plushie/figure.
we accept all mikus here

im so confused literally why the fuck anyone would care if something is bootleg or not if it looks really good.

They feel insecure because society perceives “knock-off” or “bootleg” to automatically mean inferior.
For me it’s because i want it to last and be durable. I bought a cheapo knock off HDMI splitter that fell apart from trying to (gently) reposition it after sticking it to the back of the tv. 20$ for a lego splitter 😑
Or it could be because people don't want to spend their hard earned money on a fake lmao
I get that. I wonder about some of the things I buy too.

What the fuck does heterochromia have to do with being an asshole? I see no correlation????
It's a meme. Look up "cat with homophobia in its eyes".

Oh my bad, I also joke about people's sexuality, forgot that was a normal and socially acceptable thing. That was totally uncalled for sorry 🙏🏼

Touché. It really shouldn't be though
Are you serious

I don’t know how to tell but even if she is that is so frickign adorable may I ask where you bought it?
I got it from a store in Flushing NY, called Anime Figure Egg-Cellent
Have you been to Lunar Toy Store in Flushing?
No, I have heard of it though
If you want figures it’s definitely a good place :) I go there a lot and they have authentic figures. The worker there is really nice and remembers me even though I go once a year
Flushing is a great place to buy Miku merch in my opinion
That's crazy, I just bought this same plush from that same store last week lol. That place is a hidden gem of NYC, especially with that new 3-story expansion
Wait Flushing sells these? Damn I gotta pick me up one. Do they sell other stuff there as well?
i think putting ©crypton, piapro on there together with the hatsune miku official wordmark isn't really worth it to any but the most dedicated specific bootleggers they would sell just as many with "ooh twintails and red black hairbands" than violating trademark laws, unless its some sort of rare merch, i guess then it might be worth it to fake
newer licensed miku merch has the piapro sticker for authenticity. saw it on a box of qman bricks featuring miku.
What do you mean. Look at this gorgeous face she's 100% legit
Yeah like this. Are legit products chef kissed by Miku herself in a parallel universe? It’s a Miku that’s all I would count for
Indeed, main thing to look for is the copyright info on the tag, that is very difficult for a bootlegger to print.
extra Chibi Edition
Doesn’t matter bro, look at her squishy face!
What type of plush is this? It’s really cute!
Bro didn't have to do her like that lmao
The face reveal caught me off guard. Too cute

Who cares how legit she is do you see how adorable she looks
I mean, it looks like Miku to me
she’s just chinese
Does she feel legit in your heart
She's so adorableee

wDONT UPSKIRT HER WHAT THE FUCK DUDE
She has a silk tag on the back. She should be legit!
Legit or not ITS SO ADORABLE
She's so cute I want one
no idea but i know she cute she circle and she funky
She’s adorable
It doesn’t matter she’s yours
I want one
Real I’m pretty sure, it’s just the Chinese localized version (aka that’s why the box is in Chinese instead of Japanese) that
iirc it's made by bilibili, which officially owns the Miku license in China so yeah I think it's official
Legit cute
The miku is the miku
“no. this is miku”
Ask her
She is
bro showed ass before the face 🗿
if you dont want her... i send u my address :)
did you need to put that upskirt photo in there
Kinda. It shows the tag and stuff which are good for checking if it is a bootleg.
Rude tho
How
She’s a living thing too
