Smeye World is very well-known in the proto community. They keep an archive of protos that they have sold, and typically providing proof you got the proto from Smeye World is good enough when a proto collector requests lineage. The 10+ thing is just the way their website is set up, if you try to add more than 1 to your cart, it'll say there's not enough quantity available. As others have said in this post, there's typically 2-4 white molds and 4-6 colour molds for a given figure.
I saw they are selling Freddy as Love Combrat but hadn’t heard of them. Good to know they’re legit and they sell protos! I’ll have to keep an eye out.
Buy with confidence! Also I love the Ron English stuff. I wish the Mona Lisa Grin didn't sell out so quickly when it dropped on Funko Shop
I have purchased from SmeyeWorld many times, and they offer a wide variety of drops almost every week!
They are incredibly diligent with the lineage of Protos. When I inquired about the history of a proto I acquired from their store, they provided an extensive list of previous owners, tracing back to Funko. Impressively, everything checked out when I contacted the owners separately on Facebook. This experience gives me full confidence that they thoroughly vet the pieces listed on their website.
But in all seriousness, I would recommend everyone do their part by asking questions to verify the lineage when it comes to protos c:
