Rare Chases from China... is this one legit?

Postby dorbz » Sun May 02, 2021 3:51 am

Anyone dealt with amma77777 before? The Pop in their current listing (auction: 164837606908) looks legit and people are bidding above 500$ right now.

They seem to have sold the same, rare Pop before (auction: 164759581379) and before that (auction: 164717021864).

What do you think?

If the photos they have show the real Pop it´s not distinguishable from the authentic one. They may even be the same Chinese manufacturer of the real one making big dollar on these compared to what Funko paid them. :-k

Amma is a known “proto” scrapper seller. That alone would lead me to avoid listings for any and all items.

Yeah as others have said, definitely avoid. If they are known to sell fakes, I would have a hard time believing anything they sell is real.

Amma is known for selling scrap and items of dubious origins.

Also, people don't seem to care since they're still in business.

Amma is the king of all scrappers. He's the absolute worst.

Sold for 535$. Chances are the same Pop will appear from a US seller for 1k+ soon.

I wonder if the Pop in question is legit (old stock from the manufacturer) or a fake. The photos look like the real thing but amma77777 seems to be using the same set of photos repeatedly.

Pretty sure I read in the past this seller does scrappers. Be wary!

Nope. Amma will list another one first. If not more.
