Hello,
I've recently bought a used Thanos SH230 (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sh230#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0})
and I'm not sure it's actually real lego. I can't see the company
name on any of the components and I was hoping someone who had the same bigfig
would be able to confirm if theirs has any branding on the feet etc.

Thank you for your help!
Dean

I don't have that one, but I'm pretty sure every other bigfig has lego
branding on it.

i have always watch a video on youtube as a reference on real vs fake lego figures,
now the figure they used in the video is the red hulk and the lego mark was on
the bottom of the foot maybe you can find a seller on here that can verify the
lego on the bottom of the foot.

That's really helpful, thank you for checking! I've taken a photo of
the feet from the bigfig i was sent and I have no branding in that location.
Looks like it's time to message the seller.

Thank you all for your help!

If you compare the upper right edge on the left leg (left on the pic) and the
upper left (right on the pic) edge on the right leg you clearly see the LEGO
one is rounded the probably faked one sharp

Doesn't even look to be of Lego quality to be honest.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the advice and especially Give.Me.A.Brick
for taking a photo from his own minifig collection. I've spoken to the seller
and they agreed and sent me a refund. Time to go shopping again!

Thank you all.
