Taika Waititi Directors figure (SKU 596), first verify that the box is sealed with the official Funko holographic sticker and that the figure itself is in the correct windowed box with the proper copyright and manufacturing details. Inspect the vinyl for consistent paint application, sharp sculpting lines, and the correct pose and accessories, as counterfeit figures often exhibit sloppy paint jobs, misaligned parts, or off-color plastics. You can also compare the figure's weight and dimensions against known authentic examples, noting that genuine Funko Pops typically have a specific heft and scale that fakes often fail to replicate.
