The brands most imitated by fake and shoddy figurines are probably Nintendo, Wanbo, and Hagrid House, followed by many other popular brands. Therefore, when we usually buy figures, we must keep our eyes open and never be too blind.

On August 14, Shanghai police reported the seizure of a huge case of counterfeit animation toys worth 300 million yuan.

It is understood that the source of this whole incident began in June this year from complaints about counterfeit and shoddy products from an animation figure store in Huangpu. Subsequently, Shanghai police discovered that a number of animation figure shops in Huangpu District were suspected of having counterfeit products.

After investigation, the police determined that the toys were counterfeit and inferior products with trademark infringement. There are 9 processes in the suspect's counterfeit factory, from mold opening to quality inspection, which are handled by 9 different departments. In addition, his warehouse has warehouses in three places, including a corresponding transit warehouse in Guangzhou. It should be said that They are a very, very complete chain.

In addition, the types of figures involved this time are also diverse, from "Slam Dunk" to "Detective Conan", from Ling Boli to Iron Man, etc., many figure products involve Nintendo, Bandai , Meg House and many other brands.

As for price, generally speaking, the price of genuine figures is around 300 yuan to 400 yuan, but after these pirated figures reach the point of sale, the wholesale price may only be around 30 yuan. The retail price is 70 yuan or 80 yuan.

After nearly two months of investigation, the Shanghai police recently carried out centralized operations in Guangzhou and Dongguan and successfully arrested 25 suspects including Ke Mouxin and Weng Moufeng. More than 1,200 counterfeit molds were seized on the spot, as well as a number of crime tools such as processing machine tools and transportation vehicles. About 1 million infringing products were seized on site, with a preliminary estimate of the value of the case involving nearly 300 million yuan.

Subsequently on the 8th of this month, the Shanghai police launched concentrated operations in Guangzhou and Dongguan, arresting 25 suspects and confiscating more than 1 million counterfeit anime figures and toys. Criminal coercive measures have been taken against 25 suspects, and the case is under further investigation.
