And I really thought I'd get some knock off crap or just nothing at all. Spent a total of $60. Ordered on Oct. 26th and just got them today. I let the wife pick out two items and this is what we got:

Packaging is something that's not really impressive but I guess it got the job done. No boxes with the figures or anything. They came wrapped in bubble wrap as is. No damage that I can so far.

Anyone else order from that site and get anything interesting back or as advertised?

Never ordered anything off the site but I've heard some people say they waited months for things just for them to be wrong or terrible quality. So maybe you got lucky, or other people just had bad luck, but it's one of them sites I don't think I'd ever order from.

if you want cheap figures the way to go is prize figures. just check reviews on them before buying, not half bad some of the time if you just want to populate shelves. if you want the real deal tho prepare to shell out the fucking CASH

I haven't bought anything from Wish but from working at Royal Mail I know there are literally thousands of these to sort through every day. They stink, are filthy to the touch (seriously, you can smell the smog of china on them) and an absolute pain in the arse to sort. Wish sucks.

I order from wish to purposely get bootleg looking-ass items. They really have a nice charm to 'em. Figurines and stickers that are obviously the wrong color lmao shit like that.

I ordered some knock off AirPods called i 50000 tws off of aliexpress and they are legit as hell. The pop up pairing works, auto pause when you take out a pod, touch controls, everything. $30 for a 1:1 AirPod clone. Battery life is great too and honestly they sound better than the actual gen 2 AirPods.

The Luka figure has this strange sort of stickiness to her clothing. Not really sure if I'm going to keep it. The Miku just has issues staying on the stand but the pegs are completely off.

Probably made in the same factory.

The trick is to email the seller and ask for photos of the exact item being sent. If they can't provide, you go with someone else. Rinse and repeat. Same thing works with aliexpress. I've gotten many new PSP screens that are flawless with no dead pixels with this method - among other things. And if the photos are not of the product that arrives, then you do a charge-back. Pretty simple if not a bit more effort. But I'm not waiting a month for the wrong item and out cash.

For most items, yeah. Usually cosmetic defects and/or quality control issues. But for that price, I'm up for it. Still a good deal.

*shivers* I don't wanna think of the reason it's sticky. (Actually I probably know why. Do you know of hot gluing?)

I'm sorry.

My wife has ordered stuff from Wish which has been surprisingly decent so far. One of which was that Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask figurine. Of course, a lot of it is going to be cheap knockoff crap, though, so be careful what you look for.

Also, if you're into Ashens, he's been doing Wish reviews periodically.
