I’m stuck in a bad place and I could use your help. I’m mainly a My Hero Academia , Disney, and Marvel collector but I recently started watching One Piece and I really enjoy the show. So the problem is I don’t know if I should start collecting One Piece. What do you think?
@@MarsdenRyan lol if u do ur bank will hurt cause the pops gets scalped all the time trust me XD the amount i pay for cons and drops sometimes cause we miss out cause of botting
Yes! I inadvertently purchased a fake pop for my boyfriend years ago. I wasn’t into funko pop then, and I gave him a Tony Stark one from online. When I started collecting and realized it was fake we found it hilarious. It was the first gift I gave him for his birthday.
You always drop one of these videos right after I purchase one of the pops you’re reviewing. I was watching this video nervously examining the Law I just got this week 😅
Trying to sue a company because of a 3rd party is generally a waste of time and money. Funko needs to take action against the actual manufacturer of the fake pop to be affective, and unfortunately there’s thousands of factories in China that is employing the unemployable - Chinese govt ignores it as it’s lifting their own citizens out of poverty. “Who cares if dumb Americans buy fakes” is their attitude. That’s why.
Great video as always skittle. Could you do one for dragon ball next? Some common fakes I see alot of are sdcc vegeta, sdcc red eyes frieza, sdcc beerus etc.
I have bought from people from china and they are legit . I have fallen for the people that have authentic pops in the pic and sent me the fake lucky it was on Mercari.
Another Great/Helpful video thank you for making this video it really helps😀. For the Q of the day I would say the Sylvester and Tweety Funko POPs are the ones I was not sure it was real or fake when I first bought them.
Hey Skittlerampage, Thank you so much for this video. I bought a Shanks Big Apple pop at a Goodwill but I considered the chance that pop was a fake. i still bought it. After watching your video, freezing the image to compare to the one I bought, and doing that throughout the video, I'm pretty confident that the one I bought is real. Thank you again
So how do we know if ours is real or fake if we do not have a second one? It seems like most of the things that are mentioned are 'color difference' or other tiny differences that you normally wouldn't notice you have both on hand which is kinda useless
Oh no! I bought a Fake Shanks by mistake.......Just kidding. I'm not afraid to open these boxes just to double check as well. But some of these are hard to spot just by looking at the box... 👀
As someone who works in graphic arts, I often wonder if bootleggers are purposely making their Pops look slightly different from the original. If I were going to make a fake, using the digital tools I have at my disposal I would copy every font & graphic EXACTLY. Like, why make the "m" in ANIMATION a different font? Someone had to consciously make that decision. If you are going to go thru all the trouble of recreating the design, why only go 95% of the way? Thankfully they DON'T copy 100%, but I think if would be easy to do.
Hey SkittleRampage, first of all, i love your videos man! I just bought an Oden funko pop, and i notice that he is missing an arm. So my question for you is it rare and does it have any value? Hope you see this and can answer my question.
Hi, I see a lot of unwrapped POPs in the video I still don't know whether to unwrap and display or keep the figures in the wrapper. What's the difference if the box actually stays in its original condition without damage, after all realistically I'll return the figure also without damage to the inner packaging .. Thank you
Im trying to collect all the straw hat funkos from fishman island but all im missing is brook its so had to get him i think i might as well get a fake one for 20 from ebay i aint trying to spend 600,
you definitely shouldnt, id suggest selling other pops to fund it if possible, or if u could get one out of box from someone reputable. Anything besides supporting these people and making them money
I bet they will get to a "Funko" treatment for Dracule Mihawk one of these days. And Kuma and Moria as well. That would round out all of the original Shibibukai. Heck, Kuma and Moria should be super sized as well!
I bought a bootleg of brook because the original is rare here in the Philippines and is expensive. But still planning on buying an original pop in the future.
I know this is a shot in the dark. Does anyone know where i can find someone who makes or sells replacement boxes. Lost my hollow Ichigo, Kuruma chakra mode, Alduin, and black Kratos boxes a long time ago when I left for the Army and ive searched and asked high and low. Also this is a great video I very stupidly bought an invisible master chief and for the longest thought it was real until i kept seeing real ones and now im stuck with a fake 😮💨
I remember i message you first on facebook offering you my very mint shared brook for 350$ . but i guess you didnt notice it.. it was sold on our region the next week.
if I buy a pop that has a sticker over top of the bar-code is it OK to remove it and replace it back on the bottom of the box in a different area so that I can scan the real bar-code to the phone APP. ?
For the fun of it, I actually did purposely buy a fake Brook (2018 Fall Convention exclusive, not 2018 NYCC exclusive) on eBay from an unknown seller with no reviews and sold cheap price ($23.99) just to watch this video and share along with a confirmation discovery. Yeah, this has been enlightening for me and amusing to do. Not sure what to do with my fake trash now. Lol Not surprisingly, that seller has vanished on eBay without a trace once all 5 copies were sold. Can't even look at it or provide feedback. But I can't complain: I knew it was likely fake. It's better than dumping $600+ in a gamble take.
Here’s the thing, when you knowingly buy a fake Funko pop it sends the message to naive buyers that the Funko pop is genuine. Because they can see on eBay other people have purchased it. Best to alert eBay of the scammer.
@@jason84nz That would make sense. Although when I had looked up the seller's profile a couple days after receiving the fake Funko, their profile disappeared. Go figure, coming from a scammer that doesn't want to be notified.
Hi, I have bought Stan from South Park. It seems correct but at the bottom it’s written made in china, 1202 Shuksan Way.. Does it means it’s fake if it’s made in China ? Thank you
I bought a Trafalgar Law the glowing in the dark version with the sword out at 30-40€ I think it's fake now hahaha but I just tested it last night that it does glows and entire Funko Pop it well details but it's 80% fake in my opinion
To be honest, even real pop can have different colour on the box. I have two legit shanks from a long time and they are slightly different in terms of colour but both are real😅 ☹️
Ima keep it real. I dont understand how people buy fake pops if they are in groups. Its funny to me whne people buy fakes then ask the group after. Makes no sense to me. I always ask if im unsure about a pop being fake.
I tried getting shanks multiple times, I dont care for the chase I just wanted a shanks to complete the Yonko. In europe getting shanks is impossible. So I will have to order a fake for now.
I bought a Luffy gear 4 funko pop and once I got it it felt strange and possible fake. I was able to return it and gain my money back but the seller said I can keep it and I would still get my refund. But I gave it away to a friend who's a big One Piece fan.

Why does Funko still not take action against Aliexpress and other sites that sell fake Funko Pops? I do not understand

Thank you so much for this! Now everytime I’m buying a funko I play your videos first
Thank you. The number font is the easiest tell for me.
Great video as always skittle. Could you do one for dragon ball next? Some common fakes I see alot of are sdcc vegeta, sdcc red eyes frieza, sdcc beerus etc.
I enjoy the video. Definitely it’s a big help when I am looking to buy a Brook.
If you don’t have both to compare it's relly hard to tell... I bought one DIRECTLY at Hot Topic and it says AVVER... With VV🤷🏼♀️
I have bought from people from china and they are legit . I have fallen for the people that have authentic pops in the pic and sent me the fake lucky it was on Mercari.
THE VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE,TYSM FOR THE HELP

How about the samurai brook? Can you make the comparison please
So how do we know if ours is real or fake if we do not have a second one? It seems like most of the things that are mentioned are 'color difference' or other tiny differences that you normally wouldn't notice you have both on hand which is kinda useless
Are all the warnings on the bottom of the brim pop suppose to be bolded or just the bottom warning line?
Oh no! I bought a Fake Shanks by mistake.......Just kidding. I'm not afraid to open these boxes just to double check as well. But some of these are hard to spot just by looking at the box... 👀
Answer to the question of the day: no, I haven’t bought a fake funko pop
Hey is it possible to have an authentic Brook pop without a foot stamp
I ordered madara number 722 on Walmart marketplace and it was actually a pretty good fake. The dead giveaway was the quality of the pop it’s self.
Where can i get a fake brook funko pop?
I also noticed the I in animation is different as well
While watching this video, I also wore a similar One Piece Brook red pullover hoodie. 😊
Why they have a darker tone? Tbh they already risking to get sued so why they dont try to do it authentic enough that even collecters cant notice?
As someone who works in graphic arts, I often wonder if bootleggers are purposely making their Pops look slightly different from the original.

I would totally pay for a rukia funko from u if ur willing to do 100% I can’t be out here spending a kidney on a “real” 1🙏😈😎
Hey SkittleRampage, first of all, i love your videos man!
I just bought an Oden funko pop, and i notice that he is missing an arm. So my question for you is it rare and does it have any value?
Hope you see this and can answer my question.
No that's just a broken pop, factory issue.
How about Yamato is there a fake one

too late for that already bought the original for a hefty 500@@roejogan1375
If I am buying from regular retailers, like Target, Walmart, Gamestop, etc.will there fake pops?
Probably not if you buy the Funko Pops the same year they release or maybe the next following year.
Thanks for your video. Do I have to have the number JJL or another number under the foot of the funko pop?
Thank you for making the video!!!
Very helpful 🙏🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for explaining. It would be really unfortunate to mix up my authentic collection of plastic from China with fake plastic from China /s.
It’s sad they didn’t make a Mihawk Funko pop I really like him he’s such a cool character and he would look great as a Funko pop.
I bet they will get to a "Funko" treatment for Dracule Mihawk one of these days. And Kuma and Moria as well. That would round out all of the original Shibibukai.
Heck, Kuma and Moria should be super sized as well!

I love me some fake pops, I can customize them ✋🏼🤚🏼

I bought a fake Indiana Jones pop back in the day on eBay was a big mistake

Can u make more Naruto real vs fake
the bottom of my box is completely different, is that normal? I mean could it be like an old edition?
I dont know if i bought a fake buffed chopper💀💀💀

Cannot see what you mean by the N font. Much if this is hard to examine when buying online.
It's not, you just got to look at the photos closely is all.
Yupp, ebay got me. Law chase with the heart 😂
I got some funko the print on box are faded I’m not sure if it fake or keeping long on light 😢
It means all funko pop if made in china are fake? I bought and made in china but price is 20 euro.. and have number on box and figur too
Easy to spot fake when you have the real one to compare with.
I do legit checks all the time for pops I don't own. I use photo comparison to real listings. It's not that hard, you just have to do research 👍
I got scammed once getting the billy funko pop from saw and it was coming from china and ended up being fake
Yeah that one is crazy faked like Ghost face!
I bought a shanks online and it’s head literally just pops off
Hi, I have bought Stan from South Park. It seems correct but at the bottom it’s written made in china, 1202 Shuksan Way.. Does it means it’s fake if it’s made in China ? Thank you
The Funko pops are manufactured at factories in China and Vietnam. So not necessarily fake.
I have never bought a fake one and I have alot of funko pops
What if it’s Walmart 🤔I found a funko pop with a good price on there website , should I trust it
If Walmart is selling it in their store then it will be genuine. Just make sure it’s a real Walmart website.
I bought a Trafalgar Law the glowing in the dark version with the sword out at 30-40€ I think it's fake now hahaha but I just tested it last night that it does glows and entire Funko Pop it well details but it's 80% fake in my opinion
my fake trafalga has no beard^^ and other figures are also baD QUALITTY
I noticed the Toei logo in the back is higher than other on brook pops 👀
Oh really? nice eye!
To be clear fakes are sold on any and all platforms!
You are correct! I was just highlighting that Ebay is the biggest Market for them, Amazon probably being second.
Bought 2 fake PRs I was new and didn’t know or could tell
To be honest, even real pop can have different colour on the box. I have two legit shanks from a long time and they are slightly different in terms of colour but both are real😅 ☹️
Yeah, funko's quality control isn't the greatest lol.
Hey will a fake Funko Pop still scan on P.P.G ?
Sometimes yes
Hope you remember to get your money back though you knew you were buying a fake.
Im so happy i got a real mha funko pop for £6 on ebay
Thanks, u terrorized me now for buy used funko product
Ima keep it real. I dont understand how people buy fake pops if they are in groups. Its funny to me whne people buy fakes then ask the group after. Makes no sense to me. I always ask if im unsure about a pop being fake.
yep golden freiza
I tried getting shanks multiple times, I dont care for the chase I just wanted a shanks to complete the Yonko. In europe getting shanks is impossible. So I will have to order a fake for now.
I’ve actually seen Shanks available on Amazon, and it’s genuine as it’s from Amazon.
Is crunchyroll real
To be honest there are way more fakes on what not!
I bought a Luffy gear 4 funko pop and once I got it it felt strange and possible fake. I was able to return it and gain my money back but the seller said I can keep it and I would still get my refund. But I gave it away to a friend who's a big One Piece fan.
I sold my brook too early.....
I'm guessing it was the real deal? Acquired in 2018 either at a Hot Topic store or at the New York Comic Convention?
@@kylevidetto1115 yes, thats when i bought it. would have gotten two but my friend convinced me otherwise
Twice
Funko pops are for soulless NPCs
Bro is a Literal soulless NPC
Me who would rather buy a fake than buy a real one thats worth like 5 times the regular amount
Same here
So far I haven’t gotten a fake. I thought my John wick chase was one.
I just want chun li pop 😟
I think all the pops are from china you just have to check the box jf is real
Not all of them are.
@@SkittleRampagewere are yours from then
Some I know I own are made in Vietnam.
I accidentally clicked the dislike button,I changed it to like afterwards, sorry 😅.
That's all good, I appreciate it!
