Oh, sorry I have to bring this up, but there are a number of Nanoha figma bootlegs floating around out there. So if you are a buyer, I would ask jwai for pictures before making the purchase. Actually I would suggest you ask for pictures for all of them just to confirm that they're in good condition. Anyway, only Nanoha has a bootleg, so the Fate and Hayate figma are guaranteed to be legit.
As for Nanoha, there's quite a bit of confusion in identifying the bootlegs. A combination of it being a poorly made figma by Max factory, and it being a really good bootleg. A possible sign is paint rubbing off on the left side of her barrier jacket where the additional skirt connects. Though that's not a definite sign it's a bootleg. But it's shown up in a few reviews and people speculate it to be so.
If you can say where you bought it from, if it's an official seller, then there should be no problem. If you bought it on ebay or at a con, then there's a possibility.
