Read the Kid Robot forums. There is a huge KAWS thread there and they discuss these figures in detail.

I'm sure KAWS is not pleased, but anyone doing production in China should have been able to see the potential for such a scenario to arise.

As for paperwork, I bought my Resting Place and Passing Through sets from Kaws One and the only paperwork I received was an email receipt, which I kept, but would be easy enough to fake. There are plenty of genuine ones out there though, you just have to be carefull. The Bobas are probably the worst though. There was a huge "second batch" released through Labx that claimed to be real and they're incredibly difficult to tell apart from the real ones. Most of the other figures there are some pretty obvious differences if you know what you're looking for.

The thing with the receipt form KAWS ONE is this: Yes it can be faked. However, if he ever does a "pest control" type situation he'll be able to cross reference his database of orders. For example, if I buy "Final Resting Place" from John Smith in CT, I can show his receipt along with my paypal receipt that I purchased mine from him. I can also show whatever correspondence I had with John Smith. I know for a fact that Pest Control cross references it's database in the same manner as one of the ways they authenticate work. That is why you'd want the receipt.
