Omg thank you so much I've been stressing out as its my first time buying you have cleared my stress thank you! Ps : just to clear on my nezuko foot instead of it being molded the copyright is white
They may end up that way though and some of them do, the may start out cheap but some go crazy in price eventually. These ones are more common to fake as well. I speculate due to them being easier to ship and produce as most 4inch pops are made by the 1000's so it is easier for them to catch people out. More so if it is a pop you want and no other place has any available any more. Just alway have to be careful with them
@@TwistedGeek Great point! Yeah the thing is I don't know what is real anymore there are general fabric defects at least on my side of the pound (east EU) and soon I will need to start ordering from ebay/amazon to finish collections and it's really a bummer they fake regulars. Thank you for the video those really help!
Anytime, if you ever get stuck hit me up on twitter with some photos would be happy to take alook at them for you before you buy see if I can spot anything wrong with them 🙂
excellent video.....I don't understand why Funko doesn't do anything against fakes especially on Temu and Aliexpress. I saw the fake Wednesday Addams Funko Pop, which has the bottom of the box with new Funko text. so it will be a few months and they will update too😂.
Yeah they get better with each year getting closer and closer to originals, they get sloppy in the process as well though mainly on print quality but this is not always something that someone will notice
If everything else is fine, then you will be OK, I found in later one I did that sometimes the inside colour can change but if everything else matches you should be good :)
I have the exact same funko pop in the video and everything seems normal and real but the skin is a realy tiny bit greenish, the inside of the box is not clean white and the under side of the feet is not the exact same can you please tell me here if mine is fake
There can be paint issues with official funko pops, bad paint work, marks scuffs etc, if everything else matches up,, the box print quality, die cut, logos and fonts and that nezuko has the printed code on her as well then I would say it is more than likely real. Amazon can be a difficult one as items can be shipped via them selves but can be from 3rd party sellers though it says fulfilled by amazon
Yes it does exist u have seen it in shops before also get the pop directory app it is also on there with some more information about it, if its not in thier website it just means they are oss which they have been out for abit 5 or so years now
I got a Hooded Luke Skywalker Entertainment Earth Limited Edition Glow in the Dark #501 and it matches exactly with bottom of the left funko except for the Scan, Track, More. It came in a official Funko Cardboard Box from FedEx from a seller. Is it Funko real? Also in 2017 I got a Spider-Man Spider-Man Homecoming Limited Edition Gift Box Funko #259 from Walmart bought in store....however the bottom of the Funko is the same as the right funko in your video and has the social media stuff on it. So I'm wondering if my Spider-Man Funko is a Fake?
So if I remember right for the US you have places like target, box lunch, Barnes and Nobel.but if you go on funkos website and go to distributors and search your local area it tells you who the sell direct to, who sells thier official products :)
Not trying to knock anyone's hustle, but there is no such thing as a "fake" brand new common Funko Pop. More likely scenario is they came from different factories, and Funko has awful quality control.
Funko does have bad quality control cannot deny that, but the fakes maybe made from the same or cheaply done moulds, but they are still fake. Wrong paints used, even worse attention to detail, print/printer quality is lower, missing codes and artwork missing sections, the recreated die-cut is not as the official. Lots of indications that this is purposely made on the cheaper production side normally sold cheaper in order to scam people in buying it rather than an official one. Funko can be bad for paint finish quality control but the rest of the product is quality.
With funkos low quality standards plus thousands of different pops, its really hard to spot fakes. You just demoed one character how about the other thousand pops. Plus funkos quality sucks anyways especially paintjobs
You can look for the same issues in all newer pops, focusing on the logos and print qualities as well as the diecuts and fonts. What I show here still works on spotting a fake on other pops. I also have 2 older videos for fake pops that help you spot the differences on the older style boxes as well 😀
Thanks man that helped a lot. The additions to the bottom of the box helps to distinguish the two.🙂
Not a problem happy to help, if you ever have any doubts feel free to dm me on twitter or Instagram :)
Omg thank you so much I've been stressing out as its my first time buying you have cleared my stress thank you! Ps : just to clear on my nezuko foot instead of it being molded the copyright is white
Glad the video has helped you and that your purchase is real :)
@@TwistedGeek thank you for your help!
Great video!! I have never for funko! Saving this for future
Thank you 😊 for watching as long as they keep making fakes I will keep doing a yearly update to help people out 😀
OMG are they faking 15 bucks pops now? Why bother I can't get it it's not like it's grail worth faking...

him: ok give it back I need it for the video.
Me: NO ITS MINE NOW! >:)
Nooooooo I needed it 🥲

If everything else is fine, then you will be OK, I found in later one I did that sometimes the inside colour can change but if everything else matches you should be good :)

@@TwistedGeek im sorry i dont have insta or twitter can you pls just tell me if this is normal for most nezuko funko pops btw i got it from amazon

Does anyone know if the naruto sage mode pop figure actually exists cause i have one but i cannot find it on the funko app or on the website.
Yes it does exist u have seen it in shops before also get the pop directory app it is also on there with some more information about it, if its not in thier website it just means they are oss which they have been out for abit 5 or so years now
@@TwistedGeek Thank you :)
Is my funko pop fake, if it has no funko logo location and serial number?
More than likely yes, if you want though send me images over on twitter or Instagram and I will take a full look at it for you :)
@@TwistedGeek send it on instagram
@@TwistedGeek if I send pictures of my madara six paths will you take a look at it

I have a Star Wars pop the botom of the box looks off but the code matches. Guess im safe?
I would say so if you can see the printed code on the box and on the funko pop figure itself
What month is 80? In the code
Ahhh good spot I didn't notice that mistake I made when typing it, it should be 08 as per the code on the boxes 🤦♂️😪 sorry for the confusion
@@TwistedGeek thanks a lot for the clarification
Are buying funko pops from amazon ok?
Have replied on your other comment, hope it helps 😀
Ok thank you so much and one more question, where can I buy official/real funko pops?
Which country are you in?
The United states
So if I remember right for the US you have places like target, box lunch, Barnes and Nobel.but if you go on funkos website and go to distributors and search your local area it tells you who the sell direct to, who sells thier official products :)

Thanks got my money back on a fake because of this video
Awsome glad it helped you out 😀

I have killua funko its everything seems normal but the animation logo is to hard and can I show you in instagram please ??
No worries see d me some.photos over in Instagram and I will take a look at it for you 😀
@@TwistedGeekI send to you in the instagram
Fakes are coming from different factories so nobody can make ultimate guides .
All the fakes though have alot of things in commen, though I do need to get some more from this year's stock to see if anything has changed at all
I guess my funko pop is fake then😅
If you know it is but still like it, it is all good if your still unsure can always send me images on Instagram and I can double check for you :)
@@TwistedGeek alr, I’ll appreciate it😁
Even the original looks meh.
Each to thier own :)
Animation logo is orange on mine is it fake
Yeah that shouldn't be orange but orange is also the colour it would go if it has sun damage so could be sun damage

Hi! I just made a big $$ purchase and I need help to make sure it’s not fake 😅 I followed you on Twitter but it won’t allow me to message you!
If you have Instagram try me on there, not sure why it won't let you message me on twitter, hopefully insta will work and I can take a look for you
