How to Spot Fake Funko Pops – A Collector’s Guide

If you're a Funko Pop collector in Europe, chances are you've come across a Pop that just doesn't feel quite right. Unfortunately, counterfeit Funko Pops are increasingly common in online marketplaces. Knowing how to spot a fake can save you time, money, and a lot of disappointment.

1. Check the Box Details

Authentic Funko boxes have sharp, clean edges and high-resolution printing. Look for:

1. Correct fonts and logos
2. The "Funko" crown logo on the bottom or back
3. Legal text like licensing info, barcodes, and manufacturing codes

Fake boxes often have blurry prints, color issues, or missing licensing information.

2. Look at the Pop's Paint Job

Real Pops have clean lines and consistent colors. Fake ones may have:

1. Sloppy painting
2. Unusual shades
3. Glossy plastic when it should be matte

Always compare with official product images on Funko's site.

3. Check the Feet or Base for Stamps

Legitimate Pops have stamped production codes (usually under the feet or base). Fakes often skip this or use stickers instead.

4. Compare Size and Weight

Fakes can be slightly smaller, lighter, or made of cheaper plastic. If it feels hollow or flimsy, it's probably not real.

5. Buy from Trusted EU Sellers
