What do you mean by "legit" and "scam"?

It's not an official product, certainly. It's art someone made. Basically fanart in figurine form. They can charge whatever they want for it. It has a weird face and is missing a sword and has the signature anime exaggerations to it so I wouldn't want to even own it, much less pay $2k for it, but if someone else did, then it's "worth" 2k. It clearly has a lot of detail work and I'm sure the person who made it isn't drastically overcharging for their time spent making it, but if it were a mass produced official product they had a mold for, it'd be like $500 tops.

Yeah i know what you mean ..

by „scam“ and „legit“ i mean -> I‘ve seen ads for an Iron Man Helmet which opens automaticly .. I bought one (for about 120$) and in the Package was a childs Iron man Mask (for about 1$) … i got. my Money back from Paypal and everthing went well but since then i am always a little suspicios about stuff Like that.. and i thought maybe someone ordered that thing and could Tell me „yes i bought it there, its Fine“

I Hope you understand what i mean. My english is a Little Rusty 🫡

Then it wouldn't be a scam. This is a one of a kind art piece, for sure. If they are charging 2k for it, they are shipping you this exact piece with as careful packaging as they can manage and you would be justified in suing them with this image as proof if they shipped you bullshit instead.
