Funko Zero Mini on Ebay?
I've seen the rare zero mini 1/144 go for the $80 range. I just saw these listed on ebay, from china, for $16.99 and has more than ten available. I know china is known for plenty of cloned merchandise. Do you think this is legit or a clone? I know usually if its to good to be true, it probably is and with only a 1/144 chance of getting one, I can't imagine there would be that many of these floating around.

This has been discussed a few times now. They are probably legit pieces that are either stolen or pulled out of the trash with minor defects. Some people have bought these and had them show up fine.
Just FYI. This needs to be in the Vinyl section not the Pop Section.

We have also been told that there are now some very legitimate Funko dealers that could be selling them also. Either way, almost every one who has gotten them has been pretty happy with what they have gotten.

Re: Funko Zero Mini on Ebay?
I bought a couple pieces to stand side by side with ones that I pulled out of boxes. IMHO, they are legit with minor defects.
Imagine a person sitting at the end of the production line whose job it is to reject parts. Their job isn't to fix the problem, that's someone else entirely. When the part gets rejected, it then incurs additional cost, i.e. repaint, reinspected, goes back into the process to get packed, etc. It isn't exactly feasible to slip it back in to the box since that is already being sealed up and going to shipping. They are not going to hold the shipment because of 1 figure being defective. Throw in the fact that they know there will be defects, most manufacturers will account for it and make extras to keep the manufacturing line moving. Just being a 1/144 from a chase perspective doesn't mean they produce 1/144.

In your head. There were two Hot Topic exclusive Jack's that glow.
You might be thinking of the Zero Wobbler Chase that glows.
BTW, I just got my Zero in the mail yesterday via China (ebay). Looks fine to me. I also got Santa Jack and Lagoon Creature this way, both were fine.

It was wishful thinking then. Just saw the wobbler on eBay. It'ss expensive! But attractive.

Re: Funko Zero Mini on Ebay?
When I was on vacation in China I went to a few collector's shop and saw tons of the the minis and pops as well. They seem legitimate to me, I bought quite a few when I was there cause they were pretty cheap in price and the rare ones. I've compared it to my pops I've purchased in the US, and I really don't see any differences, just some minor paint flaws but nothing big
