True in some cases, but even Karnival Primes KO was worse than mine. It is probably not true across the whole board, but he got a bad one.
Is that how much they were charging when he came out? I don't know, I had to buy mine after market, which cost me a bit.
That being said, I still prefer to buy a legit figure, even if the KO is cheaper and of better quality than the legit. I just don't like buying KOs.
