How to spot the original (Tomy)⚠ heavily faked
- Flooded with fakes (even stamped)✓ confirmed
Corsola is on the community list of Tomys flooded with bootlegs — and several fakes CARRY a Tomy stamp. On this figure, the stamp alone proves nothing.
- True rarity✓ confirmed
Corsola rates "good luck" (impossible tier) in the community 2nd-gen guide — among the rarest Johto Tomys, period. An available, cheap piece is a bootleg until proven otherwise.
- Verification routine
Run the full routine: visible two-half seam, deep crisp base engraving, clean paint, no raw-PVC smell. On a piece this heavily faked, demand the seller's OWN photos of the base and seam — never buy off a stock photo.
