Is this a real Syma? I see in the reviews that the yellow ones sold on Amazon might be a counterfeit.....

The one I have is a true syma. I read some of those reviews also but, its a real one

I'm sorry I didn't take notice of that,it went straight to gift wrapping.I did notice that one box was a bit smaller length wise than the other and it was the same aircraft only a different color.I'm on it now if I order one again.

I'm starting to think mine was counterfeit because the paint was coming off. Then again, I do not know what a real Syma looks like. Sorry I could not help you.

Yes, it's a real Syma. Bought a yellow one from BeeShoppers and two other Symas, (blue and green), from Battery Superstore. All have been genuine!

Not sure how I would know if its not the real thing, but it works perfectly fine and the kids have a blast with it. I bought 2 just in case 1 broke, haven't touched the backup yet.

I have also read those reviews. The details to determine if it is counterfeit or not lay in the details of the writing on the body and materials in the prop assembly. The Syma I received proved not to be counterfeit. I don't know if they all are legitimate, but I know for sure the one I received absolutely was. I hope this helps!

As far as I know it is real. The packaging looked completely authentic as well as the helicopter and controller. It works great. I am completely satisfied with the purchase.

I read a lot of comments after buying the batteries that there seem to be quite a lot of counterfeit ones. Mine seem to be original. On top of the battery description (CR2032 in orange) the blister is "raised. For me they appear original. Hope that they are!

No, on the controller says shuang ma... it's probably just another small factory making clone copters under a fake name

Mines were authentic. I always only buy amazon fullfilled orders. If there is a problem money is refunded as soon as product is returned via shipper. Especially when using Prime.

I'm not selling. Yes it is the same as pic. ."HOWEVER" .. This is not a factory made B-3, because of laws these clones are made in many different back-yard , garage shops by hand . You may get a gem .. I got (1),,,,,,, one good one out of three. No Mfg. marks or serial #'s will be found. I like it a lot.

I had to go through 2 fakes. The third one was the authentic one. It was going to be my last and final try as well. Guess I got lucky. Also the second one I had ordered was ordered and shipped by Amazon and was still fake.Good luck.

Mine and it appears in the reviews that mostly everyones came with different colored paint on their sylveon plush. Some say its a bootleg (fake plush) and thats why its made "poorly".

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

Mine looked authentic. I haven't heard anything about replicas for this figure.

I just received a knockoff that was sold by East River Inc and fulfilled by Amazon. I will be contacting Amazon for a proper replacement, and I have to say I am very disappointed with Amazon. Clearly I am not the first person to receive a knockoff, but I trusted I would receive a real one since I knew it was fullfilled by Amazon. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon, that means they are holding it in their warehouse and have the opportunity to inspect it, so it is inexcusable for them to be selling a counterfeit item.

This is fake/copycat. Look at the bottom right side of the picture which shows this is an "East Vita" imax B6. Assuming SkyRC did actually design and build the original, those originals say "SkyRC" at the bottom right. Checking the holograph and verifying the serial number on SkyRC's web site is still necessary. Amazon is covered because the picture on their site does not say "SkyRC." Amazon sells the original/genuine one for just a few bucks more under the description "SKYRC 100% Original iMAX B6..." I'll pay the little extra for the original one myself; I will probably buy once I read enough reviews to confirm these are good for conditioning 18 V NiCd batteries. This is fake/copycat.

No. They are real. The region fit the price drop is they have been discontinued. There is a newer version, L2. If you are concerned I suggest buying it only if it is fulfilled by Amazon as they will then "protect" you from fraudulent items.

I would start by checking the sellers satisfaction rating and reviews. Fakes or bootlegs are almost always much much cheaper than the real thing. That is a big red flag. I'd say this probably isn't a bootleg. This figure in particular is new enough and unpopular enough that I would be surprised if there are fakes made already. Amazon should talks care of you if the seller misleads you. For me, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Mine was original and if it was counterfeit they did an amazing job. Works great as always.

I cannot tell you they are genuine. However, I have carefully compared them to the original today and they are identical in every way. Color, assembly method, materials, stiffness and dimensions all appear the same. There are no markings on the original that sets it apart from these. Hope that helps.

The first one I got was from some retailer and was a knock off. Returned it, got the one actually sold by Amazon and it was the real deal.
