Real or Fake?

Postby LakeBender » Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:46 pm

I just picked up my first Chase in a store. When I got home I compared it to the one I got off eBay (on the left). They are very different colors. The one I bought is a really dark blue and the one I got today looks almost like it is faded. Is this just from a different production run or am I in possession of a fake?

I'm sure they are both real .. the one on the right could have been exposed to the sun. The box looks faded slightly also.

I agree with Ron, looks like it has been faded by the sun.

I also will second Jim's question. Where are the the hooters?

One way to find out if its faded by the sun is by taking it out of the box. If the back is darker then most likely faded. Otherwise, could have been different production run.

Real fake. Just kidding. Looks faded. I want a chase from the wild. Just one so I can stop looking.

I agree it looks a little faded. I have a chase that is a little faded and it has never been near the sun. I bought it new from B&N. Not even really close to the light but it has faded over time. It was one of my first chases that I picked up.

I'd say real just faded, and as for being from California, What are Real Hooters, I've never seen them.
