Help with White Phoenix Validation

Postby anm00727 » Wed Jun 13, 2018 3:56 pm

I was wondering if someone can help me with my glow phoenix situation. I bought it for a friend because hes in another town and the sale was local to me. I didnt verify the glow and he says he cant seem to get it to glow (he doesnt have a UV flash light either).

Looking at the manufacturing date of the box, seems like its a legit glow box. so no issue there.

Does anyone got footstamps of both the phoenix? or even comparison pics of the paint? anything to validate.

Pic of the Glow Phoenix I bought. Awaiting on my friend to send me their footstamp

:love10: Lots of goodies in that photo!

I'm hoping your friend is just paranoid and the Pop is legit. I can't help other than give my advice about the flash light though haha

Even with a flash light, Phoenix will glow without too much time spent lighting her up.

For the glow, the white suit looks a little bit translucent...if it's a solid white, it may be the non glow. But I have to admit the glow is not that noticable for white.

Do this, use your phone flashlight and hold it for 10 seconds you can see if it glows or not.

So heres an update

- The glow phoenix seems too white...indicating it could be a common
- However, its foot stamp is the same as another glow phoenix
- Looked at another friends regular phoenix, and it has no foot stamp

I'm trying to gather more foot pics of non-glows

I'll check my non glow. Still I don't think stamps matter. It either glows or someone stuck a glow sticker on.
