Beware of fake Saber Lilys in the wild

Good Smile's Saber Lily is a figure many people want to add to their collections, and a few have already appeared on eBay and other sites. There's only one problem with that, of course: Good Smile hasn't shipped their Saber Lily quite yet. The ones out there right now that you can actually buy? Yeah, they're most likely fakes ... unless some Good Smile employee has secretly been sneaking them out of their warehouse at night, but I highly doubt that.

Thankfully, Good Smile has updated their Imitation Info page with some helpful photos to help you determine if you've got a fake or not. We've also got them in the gallery below, but for reference's sake, the photos on the left in red are the real deal, while the ones on the right in blue are the fakes. Telling the difference between the two isn't all that tough, it seems, but be sure to keep an eye out if you're not buying one from a major online retailer like Toylet, Kid Nemo or Hobby Search. Always better to be safe than sorry!
