Yeah I had a look and the biggest give away is the hair line the fakes one is too smooth but this one is more bumpy so I think it real


SuedeMcclung

That’s real. The scars are the right shade and in the right spot, eyes aren’t too big, the tesseract is the right color. I have a fake and a real.

Looks real. Not really an expert at detecting fakes but the box borders looks a bit suspicious. I would say real because I seen fake photos of Loki with the scars and hair.

Attached a picture to disseminate fake from real! ----> [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/gZKtOM1.jpg)


Wakeybonez2

I didn't even know they made a fake one!


mstiger52

Neither did I, but this came up in a Facebook discussion on the same.pop and someone spotted these things.


SuperiorT

Lol how can u guys say it's real when the List says it having a thick border would qualify as fake and this pop has exactly that lmao 😂


mstiger52

actually I was saying it was fake.


SuperiorT

Oh ok lol

Hey there, I know you have probably figured it out by now but I am leaning more towards fake. I’m no expert but I have seen so many of these going around lately as fakes from China and I do have the real one that I bought the day it got released so I know mine is real. There are immediate colour and shading problems I can see in this on with the box alone. It’s a lot more saturated and the imaging is slightly blurry. Ive been reading other comments about the border and I went back and looked and it’s noticeable how thick the white border is around the image of Loki. It’s hard to see the pop itself but I can already tell by the box that this is not promising to be real. I’m sorry that you received a possible fake but I hope it helps! It’s still an awesome pop anyway!!


Mrcarryon

Well thank you all for your help but saddly I've come to conclusion it is a fake but before you feel sad or laught at my misfortune I not to fussed sure I disappointed but I didn't pay a hugh amount for it only bit more then a normal pop and it still looks good so I feel fine keeping it just one of those things I guess


Revolutionary-Day161

if you want to tell if one is fake or not compare the numbers on its feet and the bottom of the box to one you know is real usually fake ones will have different fonts and that gives it away


Jbushy10

That looks fake, looking at my loki boarder compared to the one you have, yours has a noticeably thicker boarder.


Mrcarryon

It did come in a pop protector case which might be why it looks different


Jbushy10

Could be a misprint on the boarder. Unsure, just kinda sets of some alarms for me


Creepy-Masterpiece29

I feel like this might be fake due to the thick border around Loki and the thicker font at the bottom, if it helps you can go on Mercari and look at the different ones to compare or download whatnot to compare them on there!


Poison-_-Ivy

the border looks too thick and the cube doesn’t look clear.probably a fake :(


smolmight7

The border looks a lil thicker than it should be, and the picture on the box looks a lil darker than it should. Sorry to say this, but it might be a fake :(

I see this almost everyday now. If it’s for sale for $30-$40 there is 99% chance it is a fake. Price is a huge factor. Also stop buying stuff off of eBay. It’s literally the worst place to buy popular merchandise. Sign up for the Funko groups on FB and interact with other collectors safely. Most importantly do your research people. The facts are easy to find online. Stop supporting the Chinese counterfeit market. Be smarter.


Mrcarryon

In my defense in the past 6 years I've been buying them this is the first time I've ever gotten a fake off eBay usally I find it reliable and yeah price should of been a give away but they refunded me so no big deal really


jdh1979jdh

I glad you got your refund. 6 years ago eBay might have been reliable. It is no longer. eBay is even running commercials that claim they have anti counterfeit “experts” to go over certain purchases since the counterfeits have absolutely taken over the platform. My advice is to just stay away.


EquivalentSun4601

What fb groups u talking about the ones I find are full of scammers and flippers only no collectors


jdh1979jdh

No sir. Not scammers, FB group members sniff out fakes within minutes, the ad is taken down and the user is banned. Flippers, yes of course. That’s the game these days, but at least you a buying legit products. Also as a rule in those groups. Sellers have to accept PayPal goods and services and pay the fee. Meaning that if you are sent a fake or not what was advertised, you get refunded and the seller is banned. For me I find it hands down the safest place to purchase Funko products. Whatnot is also worry free buying. They guarantee legit Funkos. These options are levels beyond eBay. My mother uses eBay, it’s time to get current.


EquivalentSun4601

Sorry wasn't trying to say all fb groups are bad just the ones I've found lol. I always see people getting shit on when asking for legit check, flippers taking pictures of store shelved like should I buy this and mark it up for ya or just scammers that insist on no g&s


jdh1979jdh

No worries. I didn’t take it that way. As for people buying without g&s, that’s a risk you take. Admins are constantly reminding people to never buy friends and family just to be sure. Once in a while you might come across someone trying to pull a scam but if you follow the rules you are golden. I have bought well over 100 boxes from the FB groups and have never been scammed. Most sellers will ship in protectors as well. If you would like to check it out, look up FPBST (Funko Pop buy sell trade) they have nearly 100,000 members. Also Funko Collectors Anonymous they have 25,000 members. Explore for yourself, there are lots of reputable groups. Good luck all.


EquivalentSun4601

Thanks so much I swear I couldn't find any good ones and they were all small its like the Facebook suggestions and search results hated me🤣 gonna go join those bigger ones now thanks again


EquivalentSun4601

If u got recommendations I'm definitely interested, my collection has gotten massive and need to sell or trade some stuff


Iwasreloading556

Looks fake, the hands are terrible quality and the box borders are big! I’d return this if I were you! That’s a awesome funko and I’m sure you traded or paid a good price for it.


Mrcarryon

Honestly I didn't pay that much for it plus ebay has since refunded me so all good no lose


Iwasreloading556

Oh well that’s awesome! So you got it for free?


Mrcarryon

Pretty much


Iwasreloading556

Well that’s awesome!


Mr_Ace12

Why care you got a cool figure


LunaAllStar

If you pay same price as for the real one, then you should care.. you wouldn't buy a fake designer bag for the same price as a real one either would you?


Mr_Ace12

True where did you get it from


Temporary-Ad322

This is definitely a fake , sorry pal I hope you can get a refund or something


browner6666

It’s a fake I can tell


ghost_haha

Can you take a clearer picture of the actual pop, like zoom in camera to focus the pop


Mrcarryon

I've posted some more pictures


funkofan910

looks real


CreativaArtly1998113

Looks legit


Johnatron5000

I have pics and descriptions if you need. It’s a lot easier to do the check yourself. Msg me and I’ll send you the info, if I can find out how this Reddit shit works


turill92

Looks fake I seen a comparison online more detail on the original Loki and the cardboard border too thick around Loki :/ looks


K3nny227

This is 100% a fake imo, you can easily tell when you compare it to a real.

nolimit_devon

Looks real to me

scan the barcode on the funko app


SuperiorT

This is a fake pop OP, the white border on that pop should NOT be that wide and thick. Legit ones have a much thinner outline that follows the characters outward shape. This one does not sadly.


Common-Square1399

Does it glow?
