Gene Simmons signed action figure certified by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) Legit?

I was about to buy a Gene Simmons Rock Headliner XI signed figure with COA form Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) but the signature is too perfect in my humble opinion.

After checking the Verification of Authenticity number 20594 corresponding to this autograph, it called to my attention that the following numbers 20595 to 20600 they all correspond to assorted action figures signed with what looks like the same felt type pens of different colors.

I read that GFA provided COAs of some sports memorabilia forgeries as this kind of memorabilia is more valuable than a signature of Gene Simmons, but I will appreciate your opinions about this collectible I want to buy.

Thank you

More than 99% of autographs with GFA COAs are forgeries.

GFA is a proven forgery outfit. You're best avoiding them altogether without a second thought.

I've been posting blogs on Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (Stephen Rocchi) since their inception in 2011, and as of today, July 12, 2023, I have yet to observe one authentic autograph with their COA.
