Great PSA for the Community today411! Super cool of you to share your knowledge and experience giving sound advice about ghost face. Keep up the great work and keep up the great content🚀
I'm happy with my fake. In fact, I have 2. All of my pops are real except Ghostface as I missed it when it came out. What I don't miss is paying some crazy price for an original when the fakes ( at least my 2) are awesome. To each their own. But you'd NEVER catch me paying crazy prices for toys. Now where is the Soda Ghostface????
The older version of the Pop will have the FM sticker but the newer versions will have the indented date. If you don’t see a date at all, and it has any of the other signs of a fake, then it’s likely not real. Hope that helps!
Yeah, at the time it wasn’t vaulted or anything so they just released an updated box. At the time people didn’t care about box version, but now it’s become more collectible to have both or have the older version.
Year on the bottom will range from 2014-2017. After that it was vaulted. I’m pretty surprised they haven’t made updated new Scream Pops now that the new movie was released (with sequels to come).
Ok so I came here cause I bought one on eBay for $90. And it turns out with you and someone else’s videos, mine came out to be real!! Which is insane cause ik it goes for a few hundred. The blood on the knife matches, the eyes are the same, the shoe is the same, the cap is the same everything is the same also the box is a little damaged which makes sense since it’s like 6 years old but I’m happy cause with the damage box it can still go for like $200 minimum. Fire buy I got! Thanks!!!
I am currently being told that a Ghostface I'm selling is a fake. I've checked off everything you said and it seems legit. Thee guy is telling me the code sticker on the bottom is a FM16 number and they only ever officially made FM14. Have you ever heard of that?
Never heard of that. If the box checks out and the figure checks out, then it’s real. Only thing that could have happened that might make it questionable is if someone did a sticker swap with the FM sticker. The 2017 versions are imprinted. The 2014 is an actual sticker. Send me some pics on IG and I’ll take a look.
@@TheFunko411 nah it looks original. Guy is just swearing up and down funko told him that anything other than the FM14 ones are fakes and that they released the one and 2 word versions all in 2014. Been a weird day. Dude had a whole day-long argument to be wrong
Thanks! This one ended up being tougher to make than I expected, but I think it will be worth it because I hope future collectors will continue to find the video in the years to come.
Great video. I got my son a real one for Christmas but was going to prank him and wrap a fake one for him but didn't want to contribute to the fake ones haha that's why I like watching these real vs fake videos.
Haha that’s awesome! Glad you were able to pick up a real one. It’s crazy how much they charge for the fake ones now too. I’ll have a video at some point doing a comparison of the real vs. fake Billy Pop from Saw because that one has a bunch of fakes floating around too! Thanks for watching!
@@TheFunko411 that would be great, I have 2 Billy's (one for me and one for my son) and didn't find a great comparison video for that before buying. I love that "M" trick you showed, very quick thing to look at.
we have one of each, ...I purchased on on a raffle for a donation, and it was fake when we got it...already had the good one, and thought what the heck, my wife likes this one so ......
Very good comparison very well done, thank you. This is a pop I’ve always wanted but never got as I didn’t want a fake. This video is very helpful so I might finally get a ghost face pop! Nice one and thanks again 😎👍
Thank you! Means a lot to me that you found it helpful. This pop continues to go up in value so I’m sure more and more fakes will continue to flood the market so I hope this helps new collectors in the future too.
@@vinylfigurefan25 you have no idea how excited I am to see what they decide to do for the fifth one. The new directors seem to be pretty capable of telling a good story, so hopefully they do something inventive and fun.
Honestly I just look up this video mainly because I just got into pop collecting and just like you, I’m only collecting horror characters and I found a Ghostface pop in the wild at my local flea market and one of my friends that is hardcore pop collector told me that it would be fake since ghostface is one of the rarer pops and after this video I have to say mine it’s real lol the knife had the same level of detail and the box is the same which I’m surprised since I got the pop for like $40 lol
I’m glad you found the video! Sounds like you found yourself an awesome deal! Flea markets and garage sales are perfect places to find Pops for great prices. :)
@@TheFunko411 Yeah! My friend told me of this collective store at the flea market, I checked it out and sure enough! Found a ghostface! Now I’m looking for a Freddy Krueger which is also rare
Bonjour Pour les scream de 2017 ou 2016 c'est des vraies figurines si le numéro sous pied est FM plus 4 chiffres ? Merci pour votre aide ! Numéro boîte FM160930 et numéro sous pied FM2373 ?
Hi! That sounds like a legitimate figure, but just to be certain I would still check the figure itself for the blood on the knife and the glossy parts and I would check the box for the Movies logo. Thanks for watching!
Great PSA for the Community today411! Super cool of you to share your knowledge and experience giving sound advice about ghost face. Keep up the great work and keep up the great content🚀
Thanks Patty! I see collectors getting scammed all the time, so I figured this would be a perfect example to show some easy ways to spot a fake.
I'm happy with my fake. In fact, I have 2. All of my pops are real except Ghostface as I missed it when it came out. What I don't miss is paying some crazy price for an original when the fakes ( at least my 2) are awesome. To each their own. But you'd NEVER catch me paying crazy prices for toys. Now where is the Soda Ghostface????
Yeah, I was lucky with this one and bought a bunch when they first came out lol. We definitely need a Ghostface Soda!
Sacnning the barcode a good way to check if it's a fake?
Unfortunately, no, because the barcode is a match. Easiest thing to spot is the Movies logo.
Could you do a similar vid on the Michael Myers chase glow?
That’s a great idea - adding to the list!
Does the real one come with fm sticker or does it have to be indented in box like in vid?
The older version of the Pop will have the FM sticker but the newer versions will have the indented date. If you don’t see a date at all, and it has any of the other signs of a fake, then it’s likely not real. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for the knowledge
Happy to help! Always important to keep people aware of the fakes out there especially with such an expensive Pop.
So when this originally came out , did they re-release ghostface with a brand new box ?
Yeah, at the time it wasn’t vaulted or anything so they just released an updated box. At the time people didn’t care about box version, but now it’s become more collectible to have both or have the older version.
Thank you!!
Absolutely! Hope it helped! Hate to see people getting scammed by the fake ones.
Good stuff man thanks! Is there only that 2017 year for them?
Year on the bottom will range from 2014-2017. After that it was vaulted. I’m pretty surprised they haven’t made updated new Scream Pops now that the new movie was released (with sequels to come).

loved the video! i brought a 2014 older version yesterday it's coming in the mail this week really keen :)
Thanks for checking out the video and congrats on the pickup! One of my absolute favorite pops of all time.

Bummer you got a fake in that raffle! But at least you were able to compare it to your real one :)
That's an amazing video. I think it's very important to Do videos like that.
Thank you! I hope it helps out at least a few people because I know it can be hard especially for new collectors to know what to look for :)
Hi do you want to sell one of those ghostfaces
Sorry, these are not for sale :(

I just won a Ghostface pop in a waffle 🔥🔥🔥💪
Nice! Congrats! One of my all time faves. I’m hoping they release some new Scream pops when the new movie comes out.
I buy yesterday a real One for 100$
Nice! That’s an amazing deal if it was real!
