Like plenty of rider fans will own SS Black. A much, much smaller group will be owning a 3rd party Minami Kotaro.

It's when a 3rd party starts making 1-to-1 reproductions of official merchandise that can lead to said group getting in trouble. There's a 3rd party group that what is essentially a KO SS W and now an SS Eternal. The W's gotten fairly good word, so I personally ordered an Eternal because getting an official one's such a bank-breaker now. But if things circulate further from there, I don't expect them to last without Bandai or Toei coming after them.

Where did you order the ko eternal from? Looking to get one but no one has listed it.
