Shine Itazura Stealing Coin Cat Bank -white cat

The original Museum of Modern Art commissioned kitty in a box coin bank by Itazura is being counterfeited like crazy. In fact, check MoMA for the right kitty. Many, many counterfeits are made of this product. It is a Japanese product, not Chinese, and the copies will not function as well, nor are they ethically sold. The price should be between 20-30 dollars as of 2020. The photo above is what you want. If this Walmart product truly is the Shine Itazura, then it is the company you want, and it will likely work well. Perhaps Walmart will respond and affirm that they are getting it directly from the real Itazura. Good luck!

The box came without the bottom screw to hold batteries in, the coins won't come out when you open the bottom coin exchange, the cat does not say Thank you as in the video. And if you don't place the coin perfectly or use large coins, the cat can't pull them in.

Pictured first is the original version. Then, a few pictures later you see the knockoff probably Chinese version.
