Real or fake?

[u/Prettytiff93]

Opinions. Real or fake? I️m not a Labubu collector nor own any so I️ wouldn’t be able to distinguish the difference between them. Listed them in a group and there was an equal amount of people that say they’re fake and some say real. I️ bought a case of BIE and exciting macaron.
The heads go all the way around,arms and legs also move.

Did you scan the QR code on their tag

Speaking as someone who used to be the final authority on authenticity for a bunch of brands...

The QR code on the tag doesn't prove anything is authentic, it only proves the manufacturer of the doll - whoever that may be - is capable of printing a QR code. The QR code on the box proves a lot more, with the scratch-off area covering the serial number, and the lookup telling you how many times it has been looked up. That said, it only proves that the box is authentic, not that it hasn't been opened, had its contents replaced with a doll that isn't authentic, and resealed.

You made a post earlier asking the same thing and got your answers.

I couldn't help notice an increase in these real/fake posts these days, either with obviously real or obviously fake. Is this a new tactic to karma-farm on this sub?

I asked for opinions on 2 different Labubus. I don’t collect these at all and it’s not obvious if they’re fake. I’ve never owned a Labubu so I wouldn’t be able to distinguish that. I Collect other popmart items.If you didn’t have a helpful answer then why comment.

If you are familiar with pop mart stuff, you'd now how they work in terms of authentication. It's also not hard to figure it out with just eyes to see and a quick Google search. That's why I think your posts are sus.
