$12,000 "FAKE" Funko Pop On Pawn Stars! 

Why did I hear Stan Lee's voice when I read his part. 😅

@@rublanco87 I did too

@@rublanco87 I heard his voice too 😂

I also heard his voice reading that hilarious

@@rublanco87 same 😅

This guy was an idiot to take it to a pawn shop instead of selling it somewhere else where people actually understand the figures.

He is taking it to the Pawn shop because he wants the money now. Not too many looking to spend $12,000 on a Pop Figure

he actually went to the show get attraction on his item haha

No one is going to pay 12k for a Stan Lee signature. They are extremely common and not that rare on an item you want. I have a Iron Man helmet signed by Stan and most ill get out of it is 400. Its funny how people put over 1k on listing a long with info that its rare because Lee passed.

Honestly most of the pawn stars clips with items this crazy they just put them on the show for the views and dont intend to buy them, just like the guy with the million dollar mario game. They just bring them on to show off the item then lowball them for the show. The owners know they wont buy it before hand too and probably get paid to come on the show.

I agree

Couldn't agree more

imagine lol "let me call a buddy of mine to come check this out"

True

agreed

I don't even do Funko Pops to be frank... I am not a fan, But yeah - Even I spotted that as an issue! I may not collect Funko - But I do collect other Toys... And Box Condition, Printing, Even the Various Stickers... They ALL HAVE TO BE EXAMINED!!! You are 100% right - It is VERY RARE a Fraudster will create an absolutely 100% Carbon Copy of a Funko Box... And with Comic Con Stickers too? Yeah - That's even harder!!! If I as a Non Funko Fan can see so many flaws in that valuation - SOMETHING WAS CELARLY DODGY IN THAT EPISODE!!!

WOW!

Absolutely agree. All the evidence points to this being 100% legit. The poor guy, he seemed so nice!

I saw this episode When it first came out I was annoyed

Pawn stars is always pulling off crap like this 🤣😭

Right he is a horrible toy export

Yeah was definitely real! I've personally seen in person and owned 1 of 12 pops and they all had some small defect. Hard to watch!

how is he inexperience?

@@Grimlock316 all funkos have imperfections

ALLLLLLLLLL

Prob last minute rushed. You know funko

when its limited to only 12 they do.

Pawn stars is f**king ridiculous

Honestly it was for the best cause if they decided it was real they would have lowballed this guy big time

2

Couldn’t agree more!

I thought I was the only one thinking that. I was like whattt ?!?!? Looks good to me

I have 2 agree with you 2 it is a really good statement I totally agree 2

And the signature "expert" on pawn stars also isn't an expert

Con stars 😂

Makes sense lol

@@jockrockwell3947 yooo this was hilarious gotta be an episode on vice lmfao

Isn’t this the same signature expert with fraudulent credentials who Rick calls his friend and never got booted from the show? Johny, the old toy expert, got into legal trouble for allegedly beating his girlfriend and that’s probably why he’s gone now.

Yeah, I read that about Johnny. In addition, Drew Max was the sports memorabilia and signature expert. He got into legal trouble with fraud. I read that he also passed away in 2020.

That’s one thing I never understand about the people that come in there and call themselves collectors. If you are a collector and you know the value of your item why go to a pawnshop instead of other collectors? I get someone who doesn’t know what they have and just trying to pass it off and get money. But if you know it’s $12k try to get close to that instead of $6 at the Pawnshop.

I dont own a single pop with perfect pain...... I have over 1000 pops in my collection lol

I bought a loose Wonder Woman bombshell chase from a local comic book store and it also had some paint flaws so for him to say it’s fake because of paint flaws that’s just nuts plus I sure they wouldn’t have let Stan lee sing a fake pop so to me that expert was wrong the guy even had the paper work

This actually disappoints me quite a bit. I'm not a HUGE Funko Pop collector, but I have some Sonic ones (Sonic running, Silver, and Shadow with a chao) and Knuckles is my favorite character so I bought two of the new Target exclusive Knuckles flocked so I could have one out and leave one in the box. Both had imperfections. I took the one that had an imperfection in the flocking out, but the other one had a minor paint imperfection. Like I said I'm not a huge collector and not looking to make money on them or anything so in a way I'm glad to hear more hardcore collectors say that minor flaws aren't uncommon, but disappointed that more people don't realize that fact.

As a Star Wars fan and one time Star Wars Collector - That would be like telling a Star Wars Fan that a figure is fake because of paint flaws... Neither Kenner nor its UK distributor Palitoy ever did PERFECT figures... I had many that had badly painted eyes and all were 100% GENUINE... I know as I was still a child and went to the Store to BUY THE BLOODY THINGS! I don't know who this so called expert is... But they are NOT good at their job!

There are so many ways to tell if a figure is fake. I understand studying the figure, but in my 6 or 7 years 8f collecting this product I have NEVER heard of someone determining the legitimacy of a high value figure based on the paint job alone (that was not a clear fake). Funko is not known for their high quality paint jobs, that's why some collectors will even go out of their way to pay a premium for a more accurate paint job on figures with low print runs. Based on this guys logic, my collection might as well be bootleg!

I think toy store guy was jealous he didnt have a Stan lee figure

i wouldent trust this you tuber with authenticating, just saying. Not to mention this guy has a very good idea on what hes talking about

@@Grimlock316 If your referring to the expert, then no. Secondly, not every Funko is going to be perfect, and they will have small imperfections with paint.

English?

@@joedude967 English what?

I agree I love when she's on an episode. She's extremely knowledgeable and always excited to see rare books. Their autograph guy is pretty legit too. Always comes in with multiple signatures to compare too, is pretty fair with prices and always gives a valid reason for the price of an auto. Like here $400 is fair for a Stan Lee auto. He's signed 1000's of items and it's not rare at all.

The autograph guy is a fraud.

well that's cuz its a more recent episode

recent as in it just came out a couple of days ago on the 6th, plus the plexiglass barrier on the counter and the lack of background customers is a clear indication of this being recorded super recently (coronavirus type recent)

@@envious3304 thank you 😊

Not to mention that this figure was sold as signed. There’s literally no way for this figure to be fake since it has all the authentication. The dudes only excuse was that it had a bad paint job… that doesn’t make it fake. 🤦‍♂️

how do you know?

ToTaLlY aMaZiNg!!!!

I am not into Funko - But I do know Toys and collectibles a bit - And there are TOO MANY red flags that point to that expert not knowing what teh Sam Hell they are talking about... He did not look at the box for flaws... That's a red flag for a start!!! He did NOT examine the Certificates of Authenticity... THE FIRST THING they should have examined... He did NOT examine the Stickers - Those Stickers are HARD TO FORGE... Those foil ones are made a very specific way to prevent fraud and just "nicking the edge" to try and lift it with a nail will tell you if it is fake! He never even asked if he could see the Funko OUT OF THE BOX to give it a full evaluation! Funkos can be resealed and "Notarized" as Graded... They are not like Star Wars Figures on Blister Cards - Once you Open a Blister, Its SCREWED... Loses all value... But a Funko is BOXED - Graders can reseal and confirm it's MINT NEVER BEEN USED - Only opened for Grading! Seriously, If Graders are just looking through the Box Window and grading Funkos - There must be a SHIT TONNE of Graded FAKES out there!!! I am not even a Toy Expert, but I know what to look for... I have collected many toys over the years - and know bits and pieces... Are they seriously trying to suggest a Fraudster took a fake to Stan Lee and got him to sign it? Or that a Fraudster BOUGHT a Genuine Stan Lee Autographed Box to put a FAKE Funko inside??? Hmmmmm... Press "X" to DOUBT! Nah! I think the dude was screwed over!!! That was a BAD examination!
