Thanks for the help guys. I've bought a couple of reps from thailand myself, and nope, i didn't go to maria's stall either. I've go as many pictures of the models i am interested in as well, so i was comparing the reps to the pictures i had. The next step for me is to learn more about the movements so in any case that i can look at the internals, i'll probably be able to differentiate a good rep from a bad rep.
