They look real to me, never heard of counterfeits in those models popping up.  You should contact YoyoFactory directly with questions about the authenticity of their products.  Ask the question, and let them know where you bought the yo-yos too: [http://www.yoyofactory.com/contact/](http://www.yoyofactory.com/contact/) ---

I own three of these. One white, two black. One of the black ones is still in the box. I took some photos so you can see. The white one, and one of the black ones has the batch number. One of the black ones, still in the box, has no batch number. They were all purchased from reputable sellers who do business with YoyoFactory, so I can confirm that none of mine are counterfeit. They came in original boxes, as they should, and they were purchased at reputable establishments. One black one: [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7316/11602759745\_2655ffd3c5\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11602759745/) [Severe](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11602759745/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr The one still in the box: [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7424/11603522316\_fdde6c93cf\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11603522316/) [Severe](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11603522316/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr [http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3711/11602982493\_c7e5ca8e42\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11602982493/) [Severe](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/11602982493/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr My white one: [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8515/8364598527\_3f7fd70906\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8364598527/) [SevereWT](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8364598527/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr I bought two as usual from the store…the other one came in a YoyoExpert Pro Pack. My guess is that the one with no batch number was the one I got in the Pro Pack. ---

Yeah I don’t see why someone would counterfeit a Onestar and a Severe anyway lol.
