REVIEW: Fake Exo Lightstick Ver 2 (ENG)

I bought this product knowing that this is clearly not the OG lightstick (however this seller also doesn't state it's the official lightstick so this is fine). Yet paying for the OG is probably for some supporters of EXO pretty much expensive so I can understand if you're an EXO-L and trying to find an alternative.

So here's my review:

!Delivery!

I bought the product on March 4th and received it 10 days later (living in central Europe). So I am really surprised by the delivery time since usually products like these take 3 weeks max. before they arrive.

It came in a shipping bag and had not really a lot of protection.

!Product-Box!

The box had minimal damage on the bottom but that was something I won't be angered about. Obviously, it tries to look like the OG box but isn't. The EXO logo on the bottom is a bit off-centred already telling you that it's not the OG if you haven't noticed it already by the price.

In overall it's still a box that doesn't feel really cheap nor high quality it's totally fine.

!Cards and Stickers!

Now when you open the box the first thing you'll, of course, instant pay attention to ...the lightstick. But I would like to start with other accessories before we go to the main dish of this course.

Inside the box, you'll find a little letter with an off-centred logo again. The logo itself was a bit damaged (like someone scratched the E part).

Inside you will find a photo card (the paper here clearly lacks quality but still feels solid as a card) and the stickers (printing is fine). Also the instructions and a "supposed to mimic" warranty/official sm goods card.

!Strap!

I can't say much about the strap...it's fine I guess just a strap with the Logo on it nothing else.

!THE LIGHTSTICK!

So I have to say I am amazed. For the fact, that's clearly not OG it looks pretty fine to me. If you, however, look closely on the EXO logo you'll see some plastic bits weren't cut off.

Also in my case: The Lightstick looked damaged on the side but I can’t expect super high quality either for that price.

It's pretty decent in its weight and doesn't feel super cheap. The plastic material feels basically like a good plastic toy you can get from any toy store. It really feels nice on the hand and actually makes you want to instantly go to a concert.

Just like the OG one this lightstick requires 3AAA Batteries (not included).

The inside looks well...rip...doesn't look that beautiful ^^

In light mode, it does the 3 things it needs to do: On, Blink and Flicker.

The light is bright (but does not blind you) and stands out in the dark.

And since I know this is not the OG one I there was no need for me to try to sync it with Bluetooth.

!Overall!

The quality of the lightstick is completely fine (but I'd not consider it as high quality just okay not perfect but okay) for that price.

EDIT 21/03/19: After unboxing, I used as "cheering" test EXO's Monster and Olympic performance the lightstick did it's work and had no problems shining bright (that means no flickering unless I press the flickering mode).

If you're an EXO-L or know someone who would like to have the official one but are right now a bit low on money (cause 80 € / $ / etc. is much) this is a really fine and cheap alternative.

However, if you have the chance to buy the OG would please do that
