Theory: we've all been buying fake Funko pops and the dollarama is selling real pops. (This is a joke by the way)

[@Davidveeeee]

I love this comment so much.

[@DaveDangles]

They could be factory seconds.

[@BMarie774]

Dave Dangles Doubt it. There’s too many profound discrepancies. They’re not QC rejects likely. Because there’s too many differences with the builds themselves. All of them are made with different molds as they ALL have the same issues in the body itself. Then you’ve got the issues with paint and box issues. Funko wouldn’t have a batch that diverts THAT much from what they’re intending. There would have to be a conscious decision to make the molds like that and boxes like that.

[@DaveDangles]

Brianna Gordy I work for a certain food company and we do something called “first runs”, which is small batch production before final QA approval. No w, we throw ours out because it’s food, but these Chinese hard goods manufacturers sell off seconds, first runs, QA rejects, etc. And you’d be surprised what does and does not print, even on final production lines.

[@thedarkknight7287]

@@DaveDangles your exactly right!! That is how a lot of these go out to the market, but there are companies in the Orient that do mass produce counterfeit items for resale, it's big business over there... Sadly a lot of people get suckered buying what they think is an authentic funko pop (especially rare ones)

[@laurenbee6340]

Dave Dangles I live in Brooklyn and we have a lot of 99 cent stores and a lot of their “name brand items” are exactly what you said. I have seen my fair share of things that I knew were too good to be true

[@DaveDangles]

Also, I said it might be a possibility. I’m no Funko cop :)

[@henrytherobot]

Dollarama does not carry fake Funko Pops. Something you need to know about that store, is that they sell many legit products from companies that have items that don't meet their quality standards. For example, lets say the Funko Pops factory had an issue with the manufacturing machine and it produced 1000 Funko Pops with defects in them. Instead of destroying the defects, they will sell them at a great discount to stores like Dollarama and then Dollarama will sell them less than they are sold in other stores. Manufacturing companies do that, so that they don't lose money, whenever they accidentally produce items that don't meet their quality standards. This is why you should never buy shampoo, soaps, etc... from Dollarama. These products are often missing ingredients, so the manufacturer deemed them as defects and sold them to Dollarama and other discount stores all over the world.

Funko takes a lot of pride in their products, they just straight wouldn't sell them if that were the case (my mom works for them here in Everett, Wa). They're very particular, I bet Dollarama or whatever their calledwill probably be getting a cease and desist with those, basically a pull these from your shelf...or else..

[@TheGabe82]

Some stores like Dollar stores will buy products that the trucks have been in accidents or for some reason had been confiscated by police. And these dollar stores will buy them at auctions. I don't know if any one else has ROSS department stores but they sell clothes and shoes that are not second hand but have imperfections from the original manufacturer so it could be something like that too.

[@ajtheboom1]

Its cause dollorams buys "defective products" and sells them cheap

[@raymondmanuel2148]

well... i do feel like most pops' paint job ain't that perfect anyway. most of the time even the legit ones have a lot of paint defects or even paint misplacement. so, hard to base it from paint job or even plastic cuts from production.

Thank you sooo much dude🙏 you inspired me to collect pops😀 I made my first pop video and I finally found something to take my mind of life(KZbin and pops)👍🏻💪🏻👐🏻

[@SincerelyBluejay]

I don't think they are fakes I think it's more likely they gave the lesser quality or mistake pops to dollarstores and places like that. To prevent waste and because they knew the figures weren't worth the full normal price. But they weren't unsellable either.

[@BMarie774]

Learning to Fly Doesn’t make sense. The bodies are all made with the same incorrect mold. And the boxes are all consciously made wrong. It’s clearly not an issue of QC rejects. They more than likely are “well made” fakes that a distributor was unaware of, bought a stock, and they’ve been distributed to Dollarama.

[@jtyleryeung8637]

[@marleneperez5862]

No such thing

[@BMarie774]

D Arsenal Doesn’t make sense. They were made all the same incorrect mold. They were purposely made that way and their boxes were purposely made that way. Hence the uniform nature in all of them. More than likely, they’re “well made” fakes that an unknowing distributor bought a stock of and they’ve been sent to Dollarama. Funko wouldn’t have those many profound, clearly purposeful discrepancies in their QC rejects.

[@BMarie774]

Marlene Perez There is such a thing. But in this case it’s likely not QC rejects.

I have a story of my Hot Topic management days in my city, which happens to be where Funko started/funko hq and all, and I had an unpleasant phone interaction with a Funko employee waaay back in the day, the next day Funko sent me flowers and a card to apologize.
