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.
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.
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
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.
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
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'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!
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.
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
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
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.
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 (:
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.
Honestly some fakes are worthy , like im not gonna spend 100+ dollars in a funko , if the fake funko its the same and its like less then 30 dollars its worth for me
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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??
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 👀
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
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.
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 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?
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
Hope you enjoy!
Comment what you want to see next!
Can you do a Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, since you have the collection.
Real Vs Fake for Dabi from my Hero please!
It was helpful got my pop for the whole vid. Legit af. Thanks
Brook from One Piece currently in the market for one and a video would be helpful
do Zoro from one piece

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

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.
Not me haven a lil panic & checkin everythin then sighin I’m safe🤣💀🤣
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
For me the beads were a dead giveaway
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🙏
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.
I can’t help but think that spot the fake videos only help counterfeiters become better
Well, i just found out my Jirayia in Toad that i bought from a comic store a year ago is fake…
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
Well I’ll buy the fake 😂 .. they mastered it and no one will notice
Tbh with this type of products I don't care if it's fake as long as it's a good price. It's plastic after all and looks the same
I have that exact special edition jiraiya I got from eBay for $60. I hate it here 🙃
basically u need a legit one to check against for each existing pop?
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
Don't forget centering on print on boxes. Fake is usually off center.
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
I bought a goku super saiyan god funko pop exclusive on 2020 for $32 on ebay because people just sell that pop over $100.
Bought 2 funko pops at ebay and i dont know if they are fake or not yet
Aliexpress should be sued for that!
Plz do Kaguya!! I just got scammed and can’t tell differences very easily online
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
Thanks for pointing out the details between the real and fake. That was really helpful. I've noticed you don't have an echo anymore
This video was made 2 weeks ago in my last house lol.
very helpful. I bought me one of these, and this video helped a ton
to me it always the cutting along the left side picture. Fake one usually is off or bulky.
please do the sailor moon sets!!! i’m so scared of getting a fake
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.

@@Yayyyyyyyyyy The Tesseract is foggy, but the marks on the head look like the same color as the box.

Glad i bought him in person on original release 😛didn’t have to worry bout it being fake

Great information. Thanks for the video!!
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.
Where did you get the fake
The fake ones also have markings and serial number on the feet ??? You didn't mention it in the video thanks newbie here
Honestly some fakes are worthy , like im not gonna spend 100+ dollars in a funko , if the fake funko its the same and its like less then 30 dollars its worth for me
Would the restock versions of this pop with the HT sticker say " X naruto Jiraiya popride "?
Wait, so where is it at?
how can you tell if a pop i fake if you don't have a real one to compare ?
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
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
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?
In germany we don't have hot topic so the stickers are a special edition one does it mean that there are fake
Do a real vs fake GITD Kurama. So expensive would be nice to know
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

Thank you for this I was worried for a bit
Hey can you make a video on the saw billy the puppet real or fake im tryin to buy one need second opinion
Real ones should have the hot topic sticker? And not the exclusive one? Correct?
Would love to see a comparison to a fake for the convention exclusive One Piece Brook
He's on the list lol. Just gotta pull the trigger on a Brook 💀
I would like to see brook and law both i have seen very good fake one it is really hard to tell

The real one does shine in the eye marks when hitting it with uv blacklight. But it shouldnt be glowing after removing the light source.
Dope ass mom
Is there funko pops that glow that dont have the glow sticker?
Both pops look fake, cause I’m neither of them have the toad with the tongue out like in the box
Could you do AOT titan please?! Specially armored titan
That one can be tricky
Did you guys manage to get the new Jimi Hendrix Blacklight that dropped today?
So then if the box is shiny does that mean it’s most likely a fake??
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
I second this
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

Has anyone bought a counterfeit Snake Plissken pop? Not much chatter about them but there'd have to be some out there..
Is my funko pop fake, if it has no funko logo,location and serial number?
Hey man, the boruto pops weren't due out in december?
Hello, good time, sorry, when will you release the new Naruto and Bruto anime funkos?
Could you do a real vs fake on attack on titans pops. A lot of attack on titan pops are expensive so it would be helpful to know really from fakes.
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...
Dang I always remove those price stickers on the bottom lol would you say I should stop doing that?
88/100
Am i ever going to get a naruto rides pop? No
Did i still watch because its skittle? Yes
So what about the number on the bottom of it matches it’s real right

I don't believe there are any fakes of sora that i've seen anyway.

Nice Video! 👍 😎
