Some fakes are getting really close. You don't always get to have an original at hand to compare, so it's even harder. I think Funko will have to invent some kind of proof of authenticity in the future, like a hologram sticker that is hard to fake.

With a few of these points it's not always the case. Sometimes there's colour differences just based on the printing method. Some boxes are glossier and a lot of boxes particularly in Europe have a matte like finish.

Funko will hopefully add a security thread on all future pop boxes just like the government does with currency and the security thread will glow in the dark using a uv blacklight no one can use a scanner or printer to reproduce the SPECIAL security thread

I am going to be very blunt here. Seriously, if you are just collecting these for display, who cares! Realistically they are ALL made in Asia. Not one single POP is made in the US. Here's an example: I bought a POP 4-pack of Iron Maiden Eddie limited edition from Iron Maidens website a while back, it was a pre-order of special edition with glow-in-the-dark features. Guess where they're made...CHINA. Other POPs are made in Vietnam. So if you are saying that ones made in China are fake, you would be WRONG. They are not "fake", they are just manufactured in a different facility. They are stupid little plastic toys, plain and simple.

There are no "fakes". Quit listening to these dorks that think that they are some sort of Funco authenticators. They are either manufactured in Vietnam or China. I bought a 4-pack of Iron Maidens "Eddie" directly from Iron Maidens website of limited edition with glow-in-the-dark features. The box says made in China. So according to these stupid KZitem videos, they are "fake". They are NOT. If that was the case, you're telling me that Iron Maiden themselves are selling "fake" Iron Maiden things on their own website? Lol. That is just stupid.

I just had 3 fake ones in a row from Amazon, you can always tell by the bad paint job, missing parts (one of mine was legit missing a piece of his hair! XD) and by looking at the bottom of the feet and head, something is ‘always’ off there that gives it away, be it seeing black or mold cast lines, but the biggest give away is the ‘weight’ fake ones always feel too light and funko’s tend to be head/top heavy. One of the very good fakes was a glow in the dark Deku and it didn’t even glow in the dark after sitting in the sun all day XD
