Authentication Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Teeth Area<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The REAL item features extremely precise painting that aligns perfectly with the shape of the teeth, with no paint spilling beyond the black lines. In contrast, the FAKE shows noticeable paint smudges and uneven coloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Hand Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The REAL ID plush pendant uses a matte-textured material for the hands, which results in low gloss and a smooth finish with almost no visible cut marks on the parts. In contrast, the FAKE hands are highly glossy, resembling cheap plastic, and often show exposed joint areas or visible cut marks where parts were trimmed. These differences in material texture and craftsmanship are key points to distinguish REAL from FAKE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Foot Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the REAL version’s soles, the embossed markings are clearly three-dimensional, with only the “POP MART” logo enclosed. The “\u00a9\ufe0eKasing” stamp is also boldly engraved, showing strong depth. Additionally, the nail paint is neatly shaped into triangles with minimal distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the FAKE soles have thinner lines with less pronounced embossing. Both the “POP MART” and “\u00a9\ufe0eKasing” logos are enclosed together, unlike the real one. The nail paint on the fake is applied only at the tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Included Card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the included card, there are key points to distinguish REAL from FAKE. Both use holographic material, but the FAKE card’s colors are generally duller, with particularly weak yellow tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, differences appear in the text “ID” and “\u672c\u6211.” On the FAKE card, the letters “I” and “D” in “ID” are connected, whereas on the REAL card, they are clearly separated. For the characters “\u672c\u6211,” the length of certain strokes and the degree of curvature differ noticeably between REAL and FAKE cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Blacklight Exposure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When exposed to a blacklight, there is a significant difference between the REAL and FAKE items. The REAL version glows specifically in the eyes and the three teeth on each side, with the face material itself not reacting. This results in very limited and sharply defined glowing areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the FAKE shows uneven and scattered glowing teeth, with the entire eyes glowing vaguely, making the whole face appear to react. Additionally, foreign particles have been observed inside the eyes of the FAKE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa X-ray Visuals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"POP<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using X-ray imaging to inspect the internal structure allows identification of fake features that are not visible externally. The REAL item\u2019s arms contain wire-like components, and the tips of the parts used to connect the hands are bent back, as confirmed by X-ray images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the FAKE lacks these wire-like parts altogether. Additionally, there are slight differences in the shape of the internal leg shafts between the REAL and FAKE versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
