I found this with a quick google search: https://www.facebook.com/funkopophunter ... 828159360/. Judging by your picture and the Facebook post, the Pop is fake. The "Comic Con" lettering in the sticker is yellow in the fake and also in your picture.

According to the link provided by MasterSplyntr, it appears to be fake because of the sticker, if that really is the case.

Oops - sorry missed out on some of the pics.

Judging on the pics, and the sticker. It looks off.

Another thing that you have to pay attention to is the price point, it’s a bit too low and too good to be true.

Hope this helps you with your judgment on whether to struck a deal on this one or not.

That is very suspicious in my opinion. I wouldn't risk it.
Hope you find the right one.

The sticker is all sorts of wrong.

"COMIC CON" should be white
2016 should be bold black
The teal border should be thicker

Image

$340 on PPG and $70 on Mercari? Even with PPG not being the bible, that is just way too much of a difference.

The fake version is selling for $25 on eBay also.

I'm going to agree with the majority here. If it seems like a way too good of a deal, it probably is not authentic. Mercari does have a pretty good return policy if you feel like taking the chance though. Good luck.

This is what I came to mention. The sticker shown in the cheapo piece is clearly fake.

Ouch, it's too bad these fakes have weaved their way out. A local store had a fake SDCC Glow Bloody Billy and it felt bad seeing it.

Nice side by side on the pic, that was my thinking as well. The sticker looks way too off in color so probably FAKE.

I'm seeing this with Fundays pops more lately. These Chinese sellers that list the fakes won't show multiple angles of the box/pop (pictures they do have are usually lifted from a legitimate listing), because the fakes are so bad, nobody would buy them. They lower the price to a range that is well below everyone else but not so much you pause and know right away this is crazy. They ruin everything and are lowering the value of legitimate grails.
