    on ebay, its good to check the brand in the product details section, as fakes either have "unbranded", or something outrageous like "junko pop" to try and trick you. Make sure you watch out people!

      hey Jordin, I just got a pop from eBay which is worth 350 but I got it for 250. I just saw the seller is from china and the fact that shipping takes 1 and 1/2 months creeps me out a little bit. however the seller has over 6500 stars which means she is extremely reputable and there is only 1 comment saying it is a fake. could you please explain the r logo thingy to me a bit further so I can check for myself when it arrives

      There are actually plenty of old pops that are real and just dont have the the trademark there. I encourage everyone who suspects that they might have a fake pop to google that specific pop and see what the box is supposed to look like.

    Pay attention to the POP logo emblem. The real boxes will have what I consider to be a watermark of circles embedded in the logo. This is something that is difficult to reproduce on the fake boxes.

      Well, I mean not caring about receiving a real one doesn’t sound like a motto a collector would go by. For one, you’d be buying a considerably worse product than the real deal. Two, the money would be going to criminals who are producing unauthorized copies. I don’t even collect pops, but I’m watching these videos because I know that pop collectors have to be mindful of where they get their stuff. Personally, I collect prize figures and nendoroids. Hell I even have an mfc account where I track my progress. Trust me you do not want to get a fake.
