That’s wild this company probably really thinks they are making legit looking pops. But you could tell on everyone of them they are completely fake. Very informative video.
as a long time collector myself (since 2013) I knowingly have about 4 fakes in my collection. probably no longer than a year ago people wouldve blasted you online for having fakes, saying its ruining the hobby or it ruins Funko collecting etc. now that funko is going through their problems and over producing now it seems like people dont have their shining armour on for Funko. as a long time collector and OOB collector ive never paid over 30-40$ for any pop. my philosophy was paying too much over retail takes away from me owning other pops. especially as an oob collector i get damaged boxes or clearance pops for under 6$. these fakes dont look great but majority of us just keep them on shelves and look from afar anyway. as long as you dont try to sell them I dont see any problems.
It is a problem, supporting counterfeits is pretty bad, people don't buy them, they wouldn't be made. And too many people will happily sell them off to unsuspecting collectors as genuine.
@@chrismaida5706 People have been saying this since I started collecting 10 years ago. Funko has/had been flourishing still. Don't see to many folks upset about their wall of fakes, since you seem to figure out pretty quick what's real and what's not. I dont think these people making fakes are raking in the millions to stay in business but yet 10 years later and fakes are still being made.
I lived in China for 5 years. There are legitimate Funko sellers in China but it's usually the sellers that get their Funko Pops from Mind Style the company that release Pop Asia pops. First rule of buying oversea do research and read comments. I also bought mine from Funko Pop up stores in Shanghai or the Shanghai convention. Cool video.
They added a disclaimer to the Fluffy website that the run number is a misprint, and that it's actually 15,000 like any standard soda with 2500 chases.
I am just getting into Funko Pops. This video scares me. I literally only have 4 at the moment. There are older ones I hope to get eventually, I just don't want to get a fake. People are always out there trying to scam people out of money. SMH...
Gotta hand it to them for the packaging, already shows a little creativity and still packed better than PIAB 😂. I really liked seeing these knockoffs on video. I’ve debated buying the glow SDCC Billy and some crazy expensive knockoffs for display purposes. I think that it would be neat and beneficial to the community to see these pops with some high resolution photos and comparison to the real ones when possible. Maybe a pinned post in the Facebook group for help with some people spotting fakes.
Like how they came out and said before the sodas were in hand that the actual run was 15k. So ok yeah they could've messed up the can. Then they released and the pog was wrong too. Yeah I don't buy the 15k at all. Temu seems to be another site with fake Pops also.
I own a genuine Leonidas, glow Billy from Saw, & bank robber joker. Glad I bought mine when I did around 8 years ago for not much more than retail price
Hi Adam, 👋 i would never buy from Ali Express, again. I went to buy a Freddy Funko as the Statue of Liberty 🗽. It was pictured with the box, but i got a Fake without the box. Never again. Keep up the good work from Dave in Australia 🦘
Want fluffy soda but i think i will wait and buy them on ebay with the price being so high Most the fakes are noticeable to collectors but theres some that are pretty good and if new to collecting it could get ya
Michael Jackson looks green on the box🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Atleast they aren't charging real prices for fake pops. Gotta say their packing is better than hot topic though, that isn't saying much😂😂. I have to say I've never heard of them. Great video. Hope you and Carrie have a great weekend.
I got the mars attacks from Ali for 8 bucks instead of 400, same with the army of darkness set, I got it for $13 instead of a few hundred. It's worth it.
that billy pop could fool a lot of people, it looks authentic, one great way to tell if it is or not, is there any wear on the box, its an old pop, came out around 2014 or 15, there would be some shelf wear being that old, and there should be a sticker date stamp on the bottom
I was just starting collecting Pops, n got one of star wars Bo katan kryze and it was too late n even though I haven't had Pop before I knew it was fake 😅
Wouldn’t mind getting the fake joker his fake pop looks very nice, don’t see the hassle of paying 600 bucks for an original that looks pretty much the same as the fake. The Billie Jean one is horrible thought
Iv stopped buying Funkos now but have a few fakes as i wouldnt pay silly prices for a Funko, the look and quality are very similar if not the same so as long as you know what your buying i see no issues. I know your promoting buying legitimate Funkos but quite honestly you have to admit the small differences you pointed out wasnt worth the £100+ extra
Lol I scored the fake Indiana Jones in my early stages of collecting thinking I was getting a deal lol but looks good from afar .. Great video appreciate the info :)
FUNKO should do something about fake pop in the market.

Thank You Brother, I agree!

I love how the Jackson pops have a hand that's a totally different color that his face.
Right LOL!

Thank you for showimg us so many fake Funko Pops. I like to have comparissons when I'm checking my own pops.

Beard of Pop I would be very interested on the Joker pop if you would be willing to sell it

This is a 200 dollar pop
Let’s take it out
Always!
Have a great Friday everyone ,from Tampa Florida. Fake Pops😅 Fluffy soda too rich for my blood. Ali Express sounds like Wish
Exactly Like Wish!
The Fluffy website says the 50,000 is a misprint. It's only 15,000 for the soda
Thats Crazy!
As an 80s kid I Dont understand the craze on these pop things
I would think that that would be exactly why you would understand they’re just nostalgia good memories, good feelings good times!
Awesome RUclips video today on your RUclips channel today #bop.
Thank You! Peter!
