Hello, guys. I need some help regarding identifying offical vs unoffical goods.
My friend told me that she once saw this post that says if the © mark of the merchandise is ©カラー then it is fake, and if the mark says ©khara.
But I saw that goods from the official yahoo Japan store of evangelion all have ©カラー. Then the former (©カラー) one is real, right? cuz one of my friend believed that the ©khara is the real one so she only bought goods with that mark..... RIP...just in case...

In Japan the studio name is often written in katakana, it is more convenient for them; you will see the "©khara" mark in the west (sometimes in Japan too).

The picture below is an official product and has the copyright mark "©カラー" in it (source: EVANGELION STORE Yahoo! Shopping):
