Exciting news, Funko fans! We’re making it easier than ever to verify the authenticity of your collectibles. In partnership with Octane5, we’re updating the stickers on our packaging to make sure our fans are receiving official Funko products with every purchase. Moving forward, you’ll be able to tell exactly which items are the real deal when buying collectibles from a third party.

NO FAKES HERE!

There’s nothing worse than buying a Funko POP! you’ve had your eye on for a while, only to receive the item and realize the worst: you’ve purchased a fake. With our new sticker packaging, you can be sure that the items you purchase are 100% authentic Funko products. Not only will this bring peace of mind to serious collectors, but it will also increase the value of your collectibles!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Our new stickers will feature a QR code and item code number specific to each item. To verify your Funko product, just scan the QR code with your phone or mobile device. Then, you’ll be prompted to enter the unique code number into the Octane5 browser page to verify the authenticity of your collectible.

CAN THE STICKERS BE REPLICATED?

Octane5 uses micro-optic technology in partnership with Crane Currency, the same technology used to secure banknotes around the world. This ensures that stickers cannot be duplicated or altered – unlike holographic stickers, which are easily counterfeited.

WHERE WILL THE STICKERS APPEAR ON THE BOX?

Our new sticker system will replace any event or retailer-exclusive stickering currently on our packaging. They will still appear on the front of the box, just like our current stickers do.

WHEN WILL THE NEW STICKERS LAUNCH?

Our first batch of Octane5 stickers will appear on our NYCC products. Be sure to try out our new verification system once you receive your convention exclusives!
