It's kinda scary how good they are at making fake Funko pops now. It really steers me away from buying second hand especially off of Ebay, Amazon, Ali express, etc.
Yeah I had a friend get a fake one because it looked legit even the pop looks decent…and the whole figure looked super good..but one thing that was different was a boarder around the name that was basically it. Real ones had s smaller boarder the one my friend got had a tiny bit bigger one…he was PISSED.
Thank u so much dude im missing about 8 pops for the full Naruto set and Jiraiya on toad is one of them and I almost bought one the other day but I didn't n im glad!! Thank u dude appreciate it a lot
I was scrolling through ebay and I saw a Kakashi anbu chase and it was 30 bucks. I was like wow thats such a good price until I noticed they sold over 50 which confused me because realistically who has that many chases of the same pop.
Another feature to point out was the beads around the toads neck when you first put them side by side and asked which hand was holding the fake I figured it was the right cause the beads didn’t match and look as nice on the one on the left
Personally idc if it is fake bc it'll be out of my budget. As long as I have the pop ill be happy One thing I forgot to mention is that the flaw with finding fakes is you'll need the legit pop side by side.
I would never be able to spot those differences ;_; Fortunately I bought the Jiraiya toad pop off the hot topic site when it launched a while back. Had no idea it would become so popular; its one of my favorite pop figures that I have.
Wow this video was extremely helpful! I wanted to buy this pop the other day but decided to not pull the trigger. I went straight to that listing after this and it is in fact a fake. I scrolled through ebay and all the fakes stand out like sore thumbs now 🤯 thank you Skittle🙏
Do you have a video on how to tell a fake sailormoon pops. I have a couple with a 2020 date and i just noticed some of mine have 2016 or 2017 dates. Please help?
Where can i buy fake funkos? I dont collect them and i want some for decoration without the box, so those little details dont bother me. Aliexpress? Any other recomended page?
Hello. Could you help me. Original Funko pop must always have something written on the inside of the tabs or is it different due to the production?! Greetings from Germany says Jan
Only thing is. Unless you have a real and a fake to compare how would you really be able to tell. Most of those things other than the POP logo are not too obvious unless in hand.
1 thing I noticed you forgot to mention was that on the side where it shows the top of their head, the fake ones eyes are more covered while the real ones eyes are more visible
Real vs fake; look at the box character outline. The real one is more constant; same width. Also looking at the figure the paint is sharp to the lines. The fake looks off. Thank You
Thank you for this video. I bought one and it didn't have the mole on it and sent it back. I bought another one and have questions, because everything about it is saying real, besides one big thing. It says special edition sticker and not hot topic on the front. Do you have any advice on that? I'm starting to think its another fake. I did buy it off amazon. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!
I have the same question. Bought on Amazon and everything appears to be real (mole, toad coloring, limegreen dot, scroll color, pop logo,code on bottom of Pop and box match, etc.), but there is a Special Edition sticker instead of Hot Topic.
I'm new to buying pos for my kids and had no idea that there are fakes out there. I just ordered one from amazon, and now believe it is a fake based on what you've outlined here.
there is one of my pops that I'm not sure if it's real or fake and I'm not sure if you do game pops but I have a Christmas town Sora hot topic exclusive and idk the pop looks a bit off to me but idk if I'm being paranoid or not so if you are able to do a video on that pop I would very much so appreciate it thank you
I'm not gunna lie I haven't watched the video yet but I've been spending day trying to find videos or info on how to tell what's a fake Jiraiya or not!
Question ??? Are there any reason why a Funko Pop bar code on the bottom of box when I scan it. It doesn’t come up on the Funko app. If there where special edition made for only a certain county would they show up. Example The Blue Metallic Imperial Palace Batman??
Hey, I recently bought a Jiraiya on Toad funko, the bottom of the toad has some writing on it in standard print, but I don't know if it is from the official funko pop company or if they have duped the writings as well, the print has the "DRM...." and Funko Official Logo as well, just like the box. edit: somethings I also saw were the colour difference in the chain of the toad, the colour difference of the markings on the toad
I did notice upon my inspection of the front of the box basically everything you pointed out; except the difference in the color of the text on the bottom. I somehow missed that, however I did notice the difference in color shading behind the black text. I also noticed the difference in the inside plastic mould being shaped different. Seems to be extra plastic near the roads left side your right side perspective of the toad face & even Jiraiya’s hair. Last thing I noticed about the top actually. To me anyways it looks like the outter ring of Naruto Shippuden the pink is a lot brighter on the fake versus the real one.
While they’re out of the their boxes the left side is the real one from hot topic. My indicator for that is the little square piece on his bandanna? Sorry I’m never watched Naruto so idk if there’s a specific term for that. Anyways though the fake on the right has more of a bubble effect in my eyes on the inside of that square for each section. Top left and right, bottom left and right which I noticed while still inside their boxes
I was so desperate for a mikasa Funko pop that I literally bought a fake one A long time ago yes I know it’s embarrassing and stupid 😅but I was just desperate now The fake funko is in my closet somewhere. I would like to see a comparison between the real and fake of Attack on Titan funkos if possible in the future
We should get fake Vs real of the AOT line up. Hate to pay something so expensive to get scammed /: there’s so many good fakes of the AOT so I think that would be very helpful (:
If I could get a GOOD fake for a cheaper prices well, I personally wouldn’t care, I buy my pops and take them out of the box and display them it wouldn’t bother me none if they were fake
Thanks I've been looking into buying this pop for awhile but I've been finding fakes upon fakes on eBay. I didn't know about the wart thing so thank you for that in case I end up buying one OOB.
I recently got the restock of itachi with crow from boxlunch. But the box looks so funny and weird. I was reading the stuff on the bottom of the box and it’s in a different language? Lmao. I don’t understand this at all? It looks so fake, but it actually came from boxlunch. Anyone care to explain?
Can you please do attack on Titan real vs fake? I see a ton of Mikasa, eren (Titan form) HT exclusive, and cleaning Levi HT exclusive. All shipping from China or Asia area. Are these fake?
New to the Funko Pop collecting, I just got one of these the other day from a shop in Chicago’s Chinatown. I didn’t know anything about it but just thought it was cool looking, Jiraiya is one of my favorite characters from Naruto. For the price of $34.99, thought it was a steal. Kinda bummed it’s fake but it’s just a figure and I’m new to POPs but kinda sucks.
Would you say the material on this pop (especially on the bottom of the toad & on the face of jiraya) is squishier as usual? I ruled out every possible design flaws on mine, but got some doubts on the material :/ and I'm pretty much freaking out bc I might have bought a fake pop...
I buy fakes because I’m not going to be selling them, I just buy them to display and if the fake is considerably cheaper than an original and looks good then of course I’ll go for it
I got a Loki from Avengers Endgame about a month ago, and I questioned it because how much cheaper it was, but that was also when there was a dip in the value. I thoroughly looked over the pictures of the box, and it looked legit. Even in hand, I'm still not 100% sure. It looks identical. The POP has the gradient, but it's slightly different. That's essentially the only flaw I could find. The pop still glows in the dark, it feels well made, it has the appropriate stickers, and the barcode even is correct. I dunno. I hope it's legit, but I have no intention on selling anyway, so it probably won't matter either way. *shrug*
@@Yayyyyyyyyyy I compared it some close-ups of other real ones, and I see it now, it's a fake. It's a pretty good one, though. Between the difference in the Tesseract and some of the lines on the paint job, it clearly is a fake. At a glance, though, pretty damn good.
I got one of these a few weeks ago, but after watching this video idk if it is real or fake... it looks darker, but the nose is the same of the original, as well as other details. One thing I noticed is that its eyes' marks and toad's eyebrows glows in the dark 👀
Could I use the tips from this video for the other Jiraiya funko pop? I won a giveaway for a jiraiya funko pop and I was just wondering how to see if it's real or fake.
Hope you enjoy!
Comment what you want to see next!
Can you do a Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, since you have the collection.

You kno anybody tht has gotten a fake pop from Amazon I get a lot off Amazon

For me the beads were a dead giveaway
Personally idc if it is fake bc it'll be out of my budget. As long as I have the pop ill be happy
One thing I forgot to mention is that the flaw with finding fakes is you'll need the legit pop side by side.
You won't need the side by side comparison if you remember the key points made in the vid. But if you're happy, that's all that matters.
@@maikahk1872 still its hard to tell, every real and fake pop has slightly different keypoints to look at. Hard to tell if not comparing side by side.
I would never be able to spot those differences ;_; Fortunately I bought the Jiraiya toad pop off the hot topic site when it launched a while back. Had no idea it would become so popular; its one of my favorite pop figures that I have.
You can use a blacklight and his red marks will glow and the orb will shine bright if its real
Some pops will have blacklight paint.
8:17 Look like the fake toad side have a green bolt like thing while the real one have a grey bolt at the side of their head.
the first thing that caught my eye with the pops were the hands with how they were positioned
Nice video! I would like to see a Dabi original vs fake comparison!
Well, i just found out my Jirayia in Toad that i bought from a comic store a year ago is fake…
Wow this video was extremely helpful! I wanted to buy this pop the other day but decided to not pull the trigger. I went straight to that listing after this and it is in fact a fake. I scrolled through ebay and all the fakes stand out like sore thumbs now 🤯 thank you Skittle🙏
I feel like i got a couple fake pops but idk i appreciate what i get cause my mom just buys things that i want so does not look for fakes or anything
Where did you get the fake
The red lines under jiraiya's eyes are actually off-center on the real one
I think thats the only thing that made me notice a difference.
Plz do Kaguya!! I just got scammed and can’t tell differences very easily online
Not me haven a lil panic & checkin everythin then sighin I’m safe🤣💀🤣
The fake ones also have markings and serial number on the feet ??? You didn't mention it in the video thanks newbie here
to me it always the cutting along the left side picture. Fake one usually is off or bulky.
how can you tell if a pop i fake if you don't have a real one to compare ?
I noticed the fake and real box both show yellow pendants on jiraiyas vest.. yet the real Funko is painted green?? Doesn’t seem correct
Do you have a video on how to tell a fake sailormoon pops. I have a couple with a 2020 date and i just noticed some of mine have 2016 or 2017 dates. Please help?
Where can i buy fake funkos? I dont collect them and i want some for decoration without the box, so those little details dont bother me. Aliexpress? Any other recomended page?
Wait, so where is it at?
basically u need a legit one to check against for each existing pop?
Great information. Thanks for the video!!
In germany we don't have hot topic so the stickers are a special edition one does it mean that there are fake
I have that exact special edition jiraiya I got from eBay for $60. I hate it here 🙃

1 thing I noticed you forgot to mention was that on the side where it shows the top of their head, the fake ones eyes are more covered while the real ones eyes are more visible
Cant you tell a fake one from a real one if the serial number on the bottom of the pop doesn’t match the box ? Or is that not always the case
It's not always the case unfortunately
Don't forget centering on print on boxes. Fake is usually off center.
very helpful. I bought me one of these, and this video helped a ton
please do the sailor moon sets!!! i’m so scared of getting a fake
So what about the number on the bottom of it matches it’s real right
