Potential fake funko? Joker the animated series 155

[Flember]

I recently got a Joker animated series 155 pop of an established FB marketplace group. However I am unsure if it is genuine as the box artwork is different to stock photos (The bottom of the box at the front has different writing and the Jokers picture is slightly cut off and has thicker borders). The stamp on the bottom of the box matches the feet however, and the pop looks professional.
I will upload pictures but if anyone knows if this is a fake or a regional variant would be much appreciated
It also says 3+ instead of 14+
Furthermore at side of the box the text: The Joker' (written sideways) is lower down the most of the stock photos

Thank you!

i checked out the url you have in the post...in my experiences, you usually see higher valued pops get faked. with this one, i don't believe thats the case...but i could always be wrong

Thank you for all your replies so far, my gut is saying it is not genuine as the box art differs from what it should be and there are loads being sold from China.
But I am very inexperienced with Funko so any information either way would be so helpful.

Yeah i dont think its fake , sometimes they change the artwork on the final product from the mock up....

[Flember]

All ones sold on Ebay all have the different box artwork too (front) this is the only one like this

I wouldn't be too concerned about a $30 Pop to be honest. If you want to compare in person buy one of the damaged ones on eBay for $10.

It doesn’t look fake to me.

It looks more like it’s a recent release. And just checked Funko App - this Pop is not yet vaulted.

This. if you're going to go through the effort and investment to use your factory to produce a fake pop. You're probably going to do do one that will bring you in $50+ each not $10.

It looks a bit fake to me compared to the ones on eBay.

Yeah that whats spiked my concern in the first place. The obvious artwork differences, including the sides of the box
But then again like others said a £20 funko isnt worth counterfeiting
So I dunno

How much did you paid for it, that may help. I have been watching unboxings from Spain posted 2 years ago and the have similar box. It also says +3. I think it is legit, box looks good and no one will spend money in a protection case for a fake pop (considering you didn't put it to cover the box).







For me it looks the same. Same details.

[Flember]

Thank you all for your replies and you Dominican. It must just be a regional box variant for Europe.

Ah, box variant might be right!
