on ebay, its good to check the brand in the product details section, as fakes either have "unbranded", or something outrageous like "junko pop" to try and trick you. Make sure you watch out people!
Over time i have gotten so much better at identifying fakes so it doesnt happen to me anymore (that often lol) but i also dont recommend people get me pops as gifts anymore either because a lot of people give me fakes thinking they found a "great deal" so i specifically ask people who arent collectors to not
You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Braylen Alberto thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
hey Jordin, I just got a pop from eBay which is worth 350 but I got it for 250. I just saw the seller is from china and the fact that shipping takes 1 and 1/2 months creeps me out a little bit. however the seller has over 6500 stars which means she is extremely reputable and there is only 1 comment saying it is a fake. could you please explain the r logo thingy to me a bit further so I can check for myself when it arrives
There are actually plenty of old pops that are real and just dont have the the trademark there. I encourage everyone who suspects that they might have a fake pop to google that specific pop and see what the box is supposed to look like.
@@batman369able thank you for letting us know ! I was looking at doctor strange 149 funko and there was no R .. I became pale until I searched it up and all the ones online don’t have the R.
Boy one problem with the paint job is that Funko themselves don’t do such a great job painting their Pops. But , yeah I can still see this one is worse than what they do.
What about Spring Convention pops have a serial number on the bottom of the box? I recently bought a Plumpy Spring Convention Pop and the box has no serial number. It has th licensing info on th bottom of the box, but no serial number.
Pay attention to the POP logo emblem. The real boxes will have what I consider to be a watermark of circles embedded in the logo. This is something that is difficult to reproduce on the fake boxes.
Another thing is the boots. The real one has silver outline on the feet. Fake one has whole blue boot, another thing is the color. The hair is a darker red.
Thank you soo very much cause I had a fake one as well the way you can tell if it is fake if it doesn't has a serial number on the bottom of the box or on thier neck if not it is fake !!!! Thanks
Babymetal pops. High end$$$. Someone for $65 and I thought to myself it's possibly a fake. Now after seeing your video I'm even less likely to take a chance.
I bought a funko pop Goten recently from a retail shop in my city. I am a little worried now cause the box color is no same from the ones I saw on google, the orange from mine is a little darker. It's so hard for me to tell if its fake, I will just hope that is not
Hi great content! Just a question and hope you could help me. I bought a vaulted pop which is the captain america from age of ultron and noticed that the serial from the box and the pop does not match. Is it normal for old vaulted pops or did I bought a fake funko pop?
I wanna say thankyou for that because mine had a serial number and it was DRM or DMR idk i forgot lol but other pops had different words so i was questionable if my pop was fake but it wasn't so phew
Well, I mean not caring about receiving a real one doesn’t sound like a motto a collector would go by. For one, you’d be buying a considerably worse product than the real deal. Two, the money would be going to criminals who are producing unauthorized copies. I don’t even collect pops, but I’m watching these videos because I know that pop collectors have to be mindful of where they get their stuff. Personally, I collect prize figures and nendoroids. Hell I even have an mfc account where I track my progress. Trust me you do not want to get a fake.
Not at all. My girlfriend and I have a few completely authentic pops that have a rattling sound inside the head. I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but my best guess is dried plastic that fell off during the head molding process.
I also got got and ended up with a full set of fake Michael Jackson Pops 🙃 ended up giving them to my mom lol. Really sucks when you think youre getting the real thing and its a total scam.
I’m new to this channel, thank for the info. The very first Pop I bought turned out to be a fake - and it did have the correct number on the bottom and the bar code is correct as well... ☹️
My Vegeta Super Saiyan god pop just came in today, I bought it off eBay for $30 because it’s rare & to find this specific funko pop I checked the serial number on the bottom foot of the pop, its small & the font is not even that big I even checked the bottom box for the serial number I couldn’t find a printed serial number or an indented serial number either
I bought a fake general grievous but I don’t even care. It still looks really close and I like.. o don’t plan on selling it so I’ll just enjoy it and pretend it’s real and not tell anyone 😅
Hey I don't really comment on people's videos but need help and I really want this Funko pop (From Amazon 😅) it cost around 16 dollars. I searched it up and it says it should cost 11 dollars i think. Sorry I'm new in collecting funko pops so Idk what I'm doing. Anyways Idk if I should get it or not.
Hey :D i have many Naruto Pops , everyone from a “official” Seller, but I wonder why some circles where the number is in are white and some are blue , do u know something about that?
I saw that there was a funko app so I downloaded it but when I click on a funko pop it sometimes goes to a website called hobbydb.com and I’ve never heard of it so I don’t know if I should buy it
Bro I don’t think this pop figure is fake maybe ur mistaken. I mean it literally has the dragon ball title and packaged like the real one from the inside and outside sooo idk abut that but I really appreciate what u r doing and that there is ppl in this world who care about such a thing so ty.but I hope u don’t personalize the topic about what I said
Yea ebay has the ghost face and sam from trick r treat both fakes came from china in less then 2 weeks ?????anything coming from china a month at least i knew it but confussed about the r after pop i have old ones that dont have the r after pop does that mean there a fake
I like fakes but you have to know what you are getting!!!! In other words I would never buy a fake unless I meant to buy it!!! It’s so many ways to see!! The printing is a big give!!!!
Another small but very telling giveaway is the M in animation. Fakes almost always get the M wrong. The center on the M stops half way on authentic pops. It alines with the bottom of the other letters if its fake like the M here. Ur fake god goku had the wrong M also
that's great dude for a tip but I bought a pop from the USA and it freaking FAKE. So it means fake can be all around not just in asia, So u should not say that if it came from international its fake. Just saying
This is why I will never purchase on ebay or amazon. only in person and my surrounding areas such as at the store so i know it's going to be legit and real
He felt like such a rebel when he said “I’ll actually take it out the box” 😂😂 but thank you for the video bro

Very easy tell Pop! is missing the ® registered trademark logo

I wish you would tell us who the source is, mistakes happen but we need to know who to look out for
Exactly I’m trying to find a certain pop and think I may have found one but I’m not sure if it’s legit or not.
Probably hobbydb
@@sassydaddy2166 i never buy from there
@@YoBravo0 either have I. It’s so sketchy though. Also this was 2 months ago
Maybe watch a video of the funko pop review same as your but watch to see the different
Thanks for the info. I'm always trying to expand my ability to spot a fake. Hate wasting money
Pay attention to the POP logo emblem. The real boxes will have what I consider to be a watermark of circles embedded in the logo. This is something that is difficult to reproduce on the fake boxes.
I save the fakes, to remind me to be more careful. 😔
Appreciate the video man, hard to tell with the fake ones sometimes!
This dude did a good job about handling this situation.
Oh wow, the paint job on that Goku makes the pop look borderline creepy! Hope you can get your hands on a legit one some day 🤞
My aunt gave me a knock off Captain Marvel Funko pop for Christmas and I didn’t realize it until a few months later 😬
Another thing is the boots. The real one has silver outline on the feet. Fake one has whole blue boot, another thing is the color. The hair is a darker red.
Man dude that sucks I mean at least you got your money back and overall a good lesson on how to spot fakes
This has been really helpful thank you
Thank you soo very much cause I had a fake one as well the way you can tell if it is fake if it doesn't has a serial number on the bottom of the box or on thier neck if not it is fake !!!! Thanks
Love your videos! Thanks for being the inspiration for me starting my own channel.
My local dollar store sells fake pops.. some can be close but other just be plain trash 😕
Does Funko America and Funko Pop Asia stores ??? Have different labels due to toys laws in each country ?
If It’s newer but you can’t find a legit and there ain’t any in stores what
about just funkos website?
Babymetal pops. High end$$$. Someone for $65 and I thought to myself it's possibly a fake. Now after seeing your video I'm even less likely to take a chance.
I see that Atlanta Falcons shirt
Thanks for sharing!
appreciate your tips on how to spot FAKES!
I'll buy the fake if it cost 10-15$, especially if I can get a refund for it without having to return it. Thanks for the tip.
I bought a funko pop Goten recently from a retail shop in my city.
I am a little worried now cause the box color is no same from the ones I saw on google, the orange from mine is a little darker. It's so hard for me to tell if its fake, I will just hope that is not
I noticed on this one also that his hair doesn't hang past his eyebrow on the fake. On the real one his hair ends over the left eyebrow.

"Got your money back and made everything right", must not have been from mercari then!
That sucks but it’s a cool conversation piece now
I only buy pops from sellers in the USA
usa alot fake seller too lmao
Ozzies in Australia is good, got a flocked black eyed buckbeak from them.
I bought a fake one once too-fortunately it was through Amazon so I got my money back.
Ty for this video 🤘💯
another little tell is the ssg goku on your fake didnt have the white paint on its foot
How the hell they make fake ones in a factory?they let them do them.i remember fake pokemon cards also.
cant you just scan the bar code very easy to do on your smart phone ?
Fakes scan too
@@PopSavage 😱
I wanna say thankyou for that because mine had a serial number and it was DRM or DMR idk i forgot lol but other pops had different words so i was questionable if my pop was fake but it wasn't so phew
To be honest, idrc if a pop is fake or not, I collect not sell, If it looks cool to me, I buy it. :D

Dang you have a lot of pops on just one long shelf
Well this video is perfect because I am looking for this exact pop. Now I know what to look out for thank you!
Great advice today.
If it looks good I don't mind.
One of my pops has a very annoying rattle sound (in the head) does that mean it's fake? X
Not at all. My girlfriend and I have a few completely authentic pops that have a rattling sound inside the head. I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but my best guess is dried plastic that fell off during the head molding process.
Nick ah thank you :) made me feel alot better!
I got the fake Stan Lee Funko Pop
I also got got and ended up with a full set of fake Michael Jackson Pops 🙃 ended up giving them to my mom lol. Really sucks when you think youre getting the real thing and its a total scam.
THE COLOR SAY ALL. NOT A COLLECTOR.
What?
@@TreeCity43 I am NOT FUNKO collector. But I did see the different in color
Oh i thought the color was suppose to be different?
I’m new to this channel, thank for the info. The very first Pop I bought turned out to be a fake - and it did have the correct number on the bottom and the bar code is correct as well... ☹️
Do Marvel Funkos have different foot codes? I notice all of my marvel ones have the same serial number on the back of the box

Always write REPLICA on the bottom of the foot of the pop and on the bottom of the box! then send it back!

Hey! I am in desperate need of help with a haul i just got . I feel its fake but need clarification inorder to get my money back
Why do you think its fake?

Never heard of it..maybe someone else has
Can real funko pops have paint flaws ??
Definitely

They might package it poorly your taking a gamble.
And their most likely fakes
FALCONS!!
I don’t see A color difference 😬
The fakes hair is more pink than a red magenta

i just bought earlier lebron james number 66 and that is my first punko pop
How much did you pay for that Goku fake pop?
I noticed that Goku god is a db super character and not dbz
What a bad shirt! Lol
Another small but very telling giveaway is the M in animation. Fakes almost always get the M wrong. The center on the M stops half way on authentic pops. It alines with the bottom of the other letters if its fake like the M here.
