This is a recast, not the original from Gantaku. I purchased the statue thinking it was the Gantaku Iori one from late 2010s. It's not and the seller informed me after the purchase. I was bit hesitant to keep the purchase, but I decided the keep it anyway. Usually alot of recast anime statues from China look really cheap. This one is not one of those. It is a good recast statue. Iori looks really good. The seller is legit and I am finally pleased with this purchase. Thank you.
