How to Tell a Real Funko Pop from a Fake
Gotta say, one quick tip is to just sniff it. Real Funko Pops have a distinct vinyl smell that fakes just can't seem to replicate. If it smells like cheap plastic, be wary.

I bought what I thought was a rare Funko Pop from a sketchy online seller once. Turned out fake because the head didn't bobble right and it felt lighter than my other Pops. Genuine Funko Pops have a certain heft and a smooth bobble action, so watch out for that.
Honestly, the easiest way to tell is the quality of the paint job. Real Funko Pops have crisp, clean paintwork. If the colors are sloppy or bleed into each other, you're probably looking at a fake.
Firstly, check the box it comes in. Real Funko Pops have a clear and vibrant print on the box, and the text will be perfectly aligned. Fake ones often have blurred or misaligned text. Another giveaway is the Funko logo: it should be sharp and clear, not pixelated. Also, look for the figure's serial number on the foot or the bottom of the box. No number? It might be a fake.
