[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.

Kairi now have a Kingdom Hearts III Play Arts Kai action figure of her. She had some action figures before, like her old Play Arts figure and the newer, but smaller Bring Arts figure. So it's nice that she now have a larger action figure version.

[Toy Review] Riku Kingdom Hearts 2 Play Arts Kai

SQEX took a very long time to make Riku a Kingdom Hearts 2 action figure. I've been waiting for this since the old Play Arts times but that didn't happen. Now that the latest Play Arts Kai action figure of Riku is here, it makes me so happy to have it on my mitts. I bought this one quick because I got left out when Riku's KH3D version got sold out and still can't find one even today. Riku is my favorite character in the Kingdom Hearts series, but as always, I will give a fair review on his action figure.
