Common questions
Is the Yuumi plush commonly counterfeited?
Hoarden is preparing an authentication guide for the Yuumi plush. Specific counterfeit tells require physical-unit verification; the founder is documenting authentication details from on-hand reference units. Check back, or follow Hoarden for drop alerts and guide-publication notifications.
Where can I buy the Yuumi plush safely?
Hoarden's trusted-seller directory lists region-organized retailers vetted for authenticity. For this item, prioritize riot-china-store, riot-merch-store, etsy — see /guides/trusted-sellers for the full directory with affiliate disclosure.
What pre-shipment photos should I expect from a trustworthy seller?
Hoarden's Buyer Promise requires pre-shipment photos on items over €100 — typically 3-5 angles: the box front, the figure with a hand-written note showing the order number and date, an edition-number macro shot where applicable, and any factory marks. Demanding similar from any secondary-market seller is the strongest single authentication signal pre-purchase.
When will Hoarden publish the full authentication guide for this item?
The full guide ships when Hoarden has documented authentic-vs-counterfeit features against verified reference units. Follow Hoarden's content cadence — typically 1-2 authentication guides per month during active build, accelerating after Week 6 of the Phase-1 build per build-plan.
