[Toy Review] [Bootleg?] RIKU DX EDITION - Kingdom Hearts III Play Arts Kai

Riku my favorite character in Kingdom Hearts and he has the best character development in the series, from misguided friend turned villain to Keyblade Master. I'm happy to say that I got his Kingdom Hearts III Play Arts Kai action figure and it's a Deluxe (DX) version! But the catch is that this is a questionable figure. I'm really confused here, I don't know if this is authentic or bootleg because it's really amazing and almost perfect (hence the faded bootleg stamp on the title image). I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll tell you why this figure is really good in this review.

[Toy Review] [Bootleg?] JESSIE - Final Fantasy VII Remake Play Arts Kai

I got another questionable Play Arts Kai action figure. I don't know if it's a bootleg or a reject because of it's awesome looks and quality. Anyway, we got Jessie Rasberry (yes her surname sounds like a fruit)! She's AVALANCHE's intelligent and sassy bomb specialist in Final Fantasy VII Remake. I can't believe she got an action figure. Probably because she's cute? Where's Biggs and Wedge? I want them to have their action figure counterparts too.
