Labubu V3 Real vs. Fake: The Definitive 2025 Master Guide
Welcome to TAL. The Labubu V3 "Big Into Energy" series features upgraded anti-counterfeiting like rainbow foil and selective lamination. This Master Guide identifies the manufacturing shortcuts that even high-grade replicas fail to hide, including detailed markers for the Secret 'ID' edition.
🔍 Master Authentication Matrix (Side-by-Side)
| Evidence Zone | REAL (√) - TAL Certified | FAKE (×) - Warning |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Foil | Distinct 45° angle rainbow stripes. | Generic flat rainbow reflection. |
| Eye Lamination | Glossy "Sunray" finish on eyes. | Matte or flat; no sunray effect. |
| Inner bag | "Big Into Energy" watermark. | Blank silver or no text. |
| Secret Card (ID) | Silver Metallic Ink (Reflective). | Dull grey ink (No reflection). |
Step 1: Visual Forensics (Box Printing & Lamination)
How to spot the 45-degree rainbow foil trick?
The "Big Into Energy" box title uses a specific holographic technique. Rotate the box under a strong light source:
- Authentic [REAL √]: The rainbow patterns appear as sharp stripes at a distinct 45-degree angle.
- Counterfeit [FAKE ×]: Fakes usually show a generic, horizontal rainbow gradient without the 45° striping.
Why does the fake V3 have flat eyes on the box art?
- Authentic [REAL √]: The eyes on the box artwork feature a spot-gloss lamination that creates a "Sunray" burst when tilted.
- Counterfeit [FAKE ×]: Replicas lack this selective lamination; the eyes appear matte or have an even, dull reflection.
✨ Master Detail: The Secret 'ID' Edition Markers
The ID variant (Sparkly Eyes) is a primary target for Super Fakes. TAL forensic analysis identifies three exclusive markers:
- Metallic Ink Logic: On the authentic 'ID' card, the series title is printed with Silver Metallic Ink. It flashes under light. Replicas use standard flat grey ink.
- The Diatom Bag: Every authentic V3 Secret includes a branded Pop Mart Diatom (Desiccant) bag inside the foil. Counterfeits often use generic, unbranded silica packs or omit them entirely.
- Eye Glitter Suspensions: Genuine 'ID' units have glitter evenly suspended throughout the vinyl eye. Fakes often show "glitter clumping" or settling at the bottom of the eye mold.
Step 2: Anatomy & Joint Mechanics
Can fake Labubu V3 feet rotate 360 degrees?
- Authentic [REAL √]: Internal skeletal joints are firm. The feet offer stiff resistance and cannot spin 360° freely.
- Counterfeit [FAKE ×]: Replicas use cheap ball joints. The feet often rotate 360 degrees easily, similar to a propeller.
- Teeth Count: Genuine V3s feature exactly 9 clean teeth. Watch for messy "bleeding" paint on 8-teeth fakes.
Step 3: Digital Forensics & Inner Packaging
- The Inner bag Watermark: Open the silver foil bag carefully. Authentic units have a grey "Big Into Energy" & "The Monsters" watermark printed on the internal silver surface.
- Domain Verification: Authentic QR scans must load fwsy.popomart.com. Any initial redirect through q.b2co.cn or ppmt.q.b2co.cn is a confirmed phishing site for fakes.
🛡️ Step 4: Batch Intelligence (Don't Mistake Variations for Fakes)
Pop Mart frequently updates production methods. Our lab has identified key differences between the New Batch and Old Batch of V3 pendants. These are NORMAL variations found in authentic products:
- Packaging Saturation: New batches often exhibit deeper color saturation on the outer box artwork compared to the initial old-batch release.
- QR Code Layout: The verification sticker on the back of the box may have slight shifts in placement or font sizing between 2024 and 2025 production runs.
- Card Texture: Some new batches feature a slightly more textured matte finish on the ID cards, whereas old batches were smoother.
- Verification URL UI: The layout of the fwsy.popomart.com page may vary slightly depending on the scan region, but the DOMAIN remains the only truth.
TAL PRO TIP: Variation is normal, but a domain error (e.g., .xyz or .vip) or a spinning foot joint is always a fake.
