Is this the real original Tony Stark head for the Mark VII or a ripoff?

Looks like the real one to me.

Real or fake it's fairly crap.

did you try messaging the seller? ... I know if its real or fake, but youre going to work for the answer

 

[Mugatu]

I did, but I feel like if he gets back to me he will tell me what I want to hear..especially since it's coming from Hong Kong.

k four things off the hop

1. it looks legite

2. theres red staining on the inner ball joint, this head was applied and removed multiple times

3. theres a neck wrap (re casters dont usually include odd accessories with their wares. though that neck wrap is readily available)

4. the price, most HTs recasts are $25-$30, for a recaster trying to get $70 for such a crappy unpopular head to begin with is just stupid

my conclusion is its legit

I hate to be biased, but I've come to the acceptance that if it's coming from Hong Kong it's a KO. Some bad apples ruin it for everyone else.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Just have to think if it's worth coughing up $70 to get it...

Exactly, also the main hub for KO's. Very common for workers to take molds and defects and sell to KO companies. Check out Datong figures, a full on company that specifically sells KO's of DBZ Figuart Figures, they look and feel great, few noticeable differences in quality but overall you can get nearly the same figure for a third the price.

I know, but you said anything coming from there was a KO or you treated it as such, Ive bought tons of legit items from there, not like I dont know what a KO is

Sorry, Knock-Off's. Also was referring to eBay.

The hairline being just slightly under painted would aggravate the hell out of me regardless of authenticity

From that pic I'd guess its legit, if its not its a pretty damn good knockoff
