“China Version’ is just meant to say not Original and I guess used as some kind of “get out of jail” language. You can see it on lots of other counterfeit products on eBay.

I believe this is just showing a very bad fake next to a fake, so is anything else than helpful. Always remember that there are different fakes of the same POP out there.

I absolutely love when people do this. Not all of is have dupes, especially spendy ones, to find real and fake. Or the skills to tell. Keep these types of posts coming, you tube is starting to load vids, very helpful. Thank you, for your post!

I’ve seen, waaaay hidden in the bottom of the description ” this is the China version” both on eBay, and in mercari. I wish all were required to. So this is a question: Vietnam funkos, are they legit? Were there ever funkos made in China, legit?

I think before talking a big game here you should first answer how you get the quantities of valuable rare POPs you are offering for sale.

The Funko world is mostly flippers. Resellers trying to make money. There’s not many hardcore collectors. A lot of dreamers and greedy people.

If collecting Funko annoys you. Give up. It’s the same with anything that has some high values. Fakes will come out of China for it.

Never forget these are meant to be cheap toys. Things like ink color on codes is never something to go by. The employees select colors. A cheap plastic toy in a cheap cardboard box being shipped all over the world, reseller to reseller to reseller… they get damaged.

If Funko started charging 5000$ for a 24 piece for example they would improve the quality and care about the fakes. But they get their money from retail prices. They make nothing on your 10,000$ eBay buy. So why would they care ? 🤷‍♂️
