How to Tell If You Have a Fake Funko Pop

First off, check the box! Real Funko Pops have clear, high-quality printing on the box with no spelling mistakes. The barcode and the Funko logo should be present and look legit. If the box looks off or the printing is fuzzy, you might have a fake on your hands.
Check the bottom of the box for the serial number. If it's missing or doesn鈥檛 match the product line, you鈥檝e got a dud. Did I mention the paint job? If it looks like it was done in the dark during an earthquake, it's probably fake.
Honestly, just buy from reputable sellers. Save yourself the headache of deciphering real from fake.
I bought a 'rare' Funko once that turned out to be a fake. The biggest tell was the paint quality鈥攊t looked like a 5-year-old with no fine motor skills had gone to town on it. Plus, the box didn't have that satisfying crisp feel when I opened it. Learned my lesson the hard way!
