Some fakes are getting really close. You don't always get to have an original at hand to compare, so it's even harder. I think Funko will have to invent some kind of proof of authenticity in the future, like a hologram sticker that is hard to fake.
100%agree
@@EndlessCollectibleif there was such as thing, I suspect it would have already been invented. Funko pops just part of a very long line of items that have been being duplicated in China for decades.

With a few of these points it's not always the case. Sometimes there's colour differences just based on the printing method. Some boxes are glossier and a lot of boxes particularly in Europe have a matte like finish.
Yes true, I think the better way is to check the number series or to buy in trusted store and not from retailers (not easy I know I bought a lot from retailers haha)
Thanks this is very helpful and I will be looking out for these details in the future.
I needed this! I mostly don't order funkos from ebay, I mostly get from my local collectibles store, Gamestop, and Walmart but if I ever order I will use these tips.
This is the first video of your I watched. Thank you for making the video to All difference between authentic Funko pops and the authentic because it never would have dawned on me that people can fake Funko. As somebody who is visually impaired it is very good to know the signs non-authentic Funko Pop. I love and collect Funko pops.
Funko will hopefully add a security thread on all future pop boxes just like the government does with currency and the security thread will glow in the dark using a uv blacklight no one can use a scanner or printer to reproduce the SPECIAL security thread
This was a great video Tristan, and I bet this’ll help a lot of collectors including myself 😃
This video was helpful for me I was 99% sure I had a fake pop! but I used your tips and I realized it is real thankfully.
Not every Kratos has this sticker on the front of the box
I just bought some from target and none have the licensing sticker on the front
I think my fugure is fake but the box has the licensing on it =)))))
I've seen many Bank Robber Joker bootlegs. You should do a review on that!
Hey Top Pops, love what you do, don't stop
as a beginner Funko collector, this is so helpful for me :)) thank you so much !!
Appreciate the detail explanation of how to spot the real and fake Funko Pops, it will help with my future purchases and how to review the ones I already own!
Thanks! I needed this
I just had 3 fake ones in a row from Amazon, you can always tell by the bad paint job, missing parts (one of mine was legit missing a piece of his hair! XD) and by looking at the bottom of the feet and head, something is ‘always’ off there that gives it away, be it seeing black or mold cast lines, but the biggest give away is the ‘weight’ fake ones always feel too light and funko’s tend to be head/top heavy. One of the very good fakes was a glow in the dark Deku and it didn’t even glow in the dark after sitting in the sun all day XD
Big fan top pops keep up the good work
That Tony Montana is so beautiful!!!! 🤩 That is such a grail for me 🥺🥺
Not all Boxes have the factory imprint on them. I have a good few that I bought from legit stores that don’t have them. So hard to know if all my POPs are real or not
Hey I might try out whatnot now, looks fun
Amazing video of fake or real Funko pops out there top pops and fantastic job
For anybody worried about the stamp I just got a mandalorian mystery box from gamestop last week and both my Paz Visla & Mandalorian (No stripes) both don't have the stamped serial number. I doubt game stop is selling fakes in factory plastic wrap sealed boxes. That method might vary
I am going to be very blunt here. Seriously, if you are just collecting these for display, who cares! Realistically they are ALL made in Asia. Not one single POP is made in the US. Here's an example: I bought a POP 4-pack of Iron Maiden Eddie limited edition from Iron Maidens website a while back, it was a pre-order of special edition with glow-in-the-dark features. Guess where they're made...CHINA. Other POPs are made in Vietnam. So if you are saying that ones made in China are fake, you would be WRONG. They are not "fake", they are just manufactured in a different facility. They are stupid little plastic toys, plain and simple.
I’m guessing your entire collection are reps? 😭
Great videos bro from Australia
What Not? More like: WHAT?! You better NOT be scamming me, friend.
Lol I’ve noticed how fake kratos had to stand up on a small nail 😂
Another interesting video Tristan what is your favourite pop from your collection
Thanks for that video. I have wondered about prices on ebay pops are too good to be true allot of the time.
My Youtooz of you just shipped today:D
I got a Woody from dollarama and has 15+ age rating on it. This video helped a lot
Early i just thought i would say i absolutely love all ur vids they are amazing and make my day !!!
This really helps me
Manufactures of fake funkos be taking notes lol
Day 53 of asking Tristan to show us his whole Star Wars collection
Thanks! I learned alot about fakes!
Glad I could help!
Just realized one of mine is fake and I paid $30+ for it 😩 oh well.
I bot an iron man pop off Amazon, the box looks perfect but the eyes as well as the chest piece are slightly misshapen. Is it more likely that it's fake or a misprin? (I'm leaning more towards it being a misprint because it's only the elements printed in white.)
Although I still watch his videos from time to time, I can never get over the fact that he's always got a flex seal hat on. Like why do you even have that? 🤔
Plenty of real pops with printing errors with stuff slid to the right and up or down
I may or may not be addicted to Whatnot...
I think I'll have to check all 28 of my regular pops and both of my 6" pops
Thanks, so helpful:)
Glad it helped!
Will take one's have ® next to pops?
I got my walrus and carpenter funko pop from Smyths Toys but the grey on the box is darker?? (everything else like quality etc. is good)
Can you do a queen Amidala one because I got one on eBay and they sent it with a barcode sticker on the top of the box and it came in heavily damaged!
Hi Top Pops, I suggest you too look at the Kenny Funko Pop from Attack on Titan. It looks so fake because of the white border around the character and the animation design doesn't have the same color as the other animation logo. It is actually made like that
Thanks for the tips I have a spider man Funko pop that Was questionable so I will have to go and check it again
What about the weight of the figures is there a difference?
With fake pops is there certain ones or any pop can be fake and can all pops have the possibility be fake (if that makes sense)
Day 2 of asking Tristan to buy the funko Phineas and Ferb action figures. Day 1 of asking Tristan to bring back the wheel.
sometimes the bottom of the foot has funko info and some fakes have nothing...I purchased a fake ( knowing ) and it had all the correct info on the foot, which still makes me wonder, but the paint on the Pop is really off.
I have two fakes with stickers, the stuff on the bottom of the feet too :(. The only way I figured out it was fake was by looking at the hair style and the box felt like cheap cardboard instead of the glossy kind normal ones are.e
There are no "fakes". Quit listening to these dorks that think that they are some sort of Funco authenticators. They are either manufactured in Vietnam or China. I bought a 4-pack of Iron Maidens "Eddie" directly from Iron Maidens website of limited edition with glow-in-the-dark features. The box says made in China. So according to these stupid TH-cam videos, they are "fake". They are NOT. If that was the case, you're telling me that Iron Maiden themselves are selling "fake" Iron Maiden things on their own website? Lol. That is just stupid.
They both made in China factories
It's hard to tell which one is fake
I bought a Spiderman from Party City and the box is different from the original, its Spiderman 03 but im not sure if its just a different box
What do ya do when ya get a pop from a big retail store?
Hey does.anyone know what the odds of Seinfeld mini moment chases r? Target had the 6 normal ones and next to them was another display of 6 all chases ... R they not as rare as normal pop chases? tryin to figure out if i shoukd go get the other 4 i got kramer and newman ..And they had the venom blacklight packs again so if anyone needs check ur target they restocked at mine which was shocking that I got them for retail bought 2 and went back and bought one more cpl days later
Thanks for this i found that out of every sonic funko pop in my collection there is only one fake and it was my first ever ebay funko i got of the Sonic's :) so happy i only need to replace 1 out of my 16 so only need a few now and i have every one apart from the first super shadow. as that go's fo £1000 on ebay and there is only 3 i have seen just need the new release of shadow & amy and the doctor eggman plus the ring scatter to finish off them all
We need a updated ad icons video 😢
Can you do one on how to spot real and fake online
I just got a jumbo charizard pop. It doesnt have the target sticker on the front. Unsure if real or fake 🤔
Thanks
They have realised a funko exclusive bloodsport unmasked
Hi your videos help me get trough everyday thank you ._.
Thanks you so much this helps alot
@NaterTots I was about to say that lol 💀
@NaterTots it’s called skipping and watching in 1.5 speed
My gus fring that I bought for 20 has no FAC but does have everything else correct, and my John wick has a very dark grey part but does have a FAC could these be real?
I just got a Pop, Chucky Chil's play 2 #56 at a Pop event, it's the bloody one but there is no blood on the face, only on the clothes and the knife. Serial and everything else is good and this guy was a collector, he told me it's coming from Australia, does anyone have heard about the fact that some pops are slightly different? It's not listed anywhere
Hey I have a figure of might guy 8 gates glow in dark it has a funk sticker on it can't tell if real can you help
Can u do a soda hunt
Can somebody tell me if pop string lights are worth buying?
I have my eyes on some deadpool, yoda, and batman lights... I really like them but I dont know if in the future I can trade them for some grails once I get over them 😬😛
They are kinda old it was a “phase” Funko went through. There aren’t a ton available and they are very rare to find in stores. I think I found one in a store about 3 or so years ago. So if I were you I wouldn’t pass up on them.😄
@@happygiraffe2732 awsome man thanks for the info
Why do some pops not have the r on the logo? Like Kratos had it but Hermione didn't
I have a tracer pop with no blizzcon sticker that I got at dollarama a while ago. Is it fake bc it doesn’t have the sticker or what?
Not necessarily, you would have to look at the box. They just forget to put stickers sometimes
@@FLUFFYo0 ok thx man
Why does some funko pop have funko on the front corner but some do not ?
Great 😇
Can you do Tanya hero Academia pops??
What if mine Jst had pop and not games under Jst pop alone
What if they logo is color blue?
What about trademarks? It seems that even the originals don't always have them, right?
I thought my Kratos was fake bcs of the painting and his left is bit off, but now i see that he is real :P
Day 24 of asking Tristan to do a new collection tour
Can you check if an ebay user is selling fake versions of this pop, do you have an Instagram where I can cross reference with you by any chance?
Thanks a lot. But the only thing i don't understand is...why is Tony Montana 17+?
I've been trying to get my hands on a Jiraiya on Toad for a while now but it's getting so damn hard to verify these things.
I lucked out and found one at my local hot topic a few weeks back. I was there to get Sasuke perfect susanoo and grabbed both. I get so stoked finding pops in store. I solely collect Naruto and boruto so I buy my fair share from resellers and online exclusives. eBay sellers who have been around for awhile with high feedback and lots of reviews are usually safe. Know PPG or Funko app prices! It’s great to get a bargain but if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is it.
So most faded funkos are fake? I got 3 candy man's and the boxes are really faded. And got them at walmart by the way
Top pops feature on DONDA?!
Well idrm if it’s fake and it looks really close bc it’s not like I’m tryna sell it I just want it for aesthetic
If you scan a fake pop on the Funko app will it still come up ? Mabye that could be next video idea
Fakes come up with the app yes
If the pop has glasses it’s a dead giveaway
Is Amazon a safe place to get a funko if it’s sold or shipped by Amazon?
Yes if it says that amazon is the seller you are 100% safe. However, be aware of buying pops that are sold by third party sellers, especially those that have bad reviews or no reviews.
I have just got a Qbert Funko Pop
I saw you have a Vince gillagian Funko pop at your ebgames would you be able to ship it to me I will be willing to pay
Hi top pops
I’ve been lucky with avoiding fakes but man, just realized I’ve been duped. I have a Bakugo “exclusive” that doesn’t have the correct sticker, wonky lines, and horrible paint job. Too bad :/
Fake one out here lookin like keemstar.
I brought 30 Mr burn’s chase & they are all fake what do I do 😰
is it weird that my pop rubs of when i rub dirt of it
it
and has bits of glossienes splattered on it
Should I pre order the Demon Slayer Funko Pop! Tanjiro Kamado (with Dragon funko pop from Big Apple Collectibles also Almost first
? I’M NOT SCREAMING YOUR SCREAMING
These fakes today are unreal ,beware out there
i neva knew the difference in the fake n real pops until i saw vids like this im glad u did a vid 2 help those buying pops. anything collectable n popular they make fakes 2 scam people. thanks 4 the vid 😃👍🏾

It’s virtually impossible to identify a fake. Best option is to only buy from reputable retailers / sellers.
I got a funko pop ad
