Im pretty sure the China ones are mostly all fakes. The Japans ones are 50/50 to me. Someone bought a DMC pop from Japan and everything matched up, the stamp on the foot was the real deal. Im not sure it helps but its more info for you :-"
Pop Count: 148

The pigsy and Batgirl look like they could be legit but it is hard to say! Most loose items from China are scrap pieces that didnt meet QC so they will probably have fairly crappy paint etc
Pop count: 99 On order: 5

Pops I would love to have:

It would be difficult to say for all of these because they appear to be stock photos, not the actual item you'd be receiving.

I've noticed that as well. I ordered a few things from these guys a while back (not going to support these thieves anymore) and what I got was not the same as the pic. Sometimes when they have multiples of the same items, they use the same pic each time one sells and another takes its place.

But cmon all pops specifically say made in china and i wouldnt doubt its authenticity being manufactured over there and a worker is stealing them and selling on ebay. But personally i only want to be safe with proof from fundays events protos


The problem with that though, is that you didn't buy a proto. It's a reject someone grabbed out of the discard bin, and is trying to pass off as a proto to make money.

Japan actually gets some retired pops. When I was there I was checking out toy stores and came across a lot of Winnie the Poohs and Boos. They have a special sticker printed in Japanese on the bottom from Funko. Other than that sticker, they are the same
