I hope the white isn't a fake - I just got it last night. It's gotta be real. The package had Bandai's logo, and the back of the tama has this written on it: "C" inside of a circle (copyright) BANDAI WIZ 2004, BANDAI 2004, MADE IN CHINA. Yea, it's gotta be real. How did you hear that it was fake?
Also, I do agree that Bandai is completely targeting girls this time 'round! The first series... the only two masculine colors were the Green Matrix and the Orange with purple swirls, the second series had the white, and the clear orange with sparkles... that even is feminine. That's totally not cool.
