Authentic Product Showcase:
Authentic sealed boxes have intact plastic wrap with no bulging (some store pickups might have slightly imperfect wrapping, but this is rare). The print colors are normal—neither too dark nor too light. The plush itself is very round and smooth, with clean stitching on the face. The embossed stamp is clear, and the wash tag is a white label with a QR code. Older batches might not have it, but those are rare now—so assume it should be present.
Sealed Box Authentic vs. Fake Comparison:
Individual Plush Authentic vs. Fake Comparison:
The most obvious difference is in the facial details. Even the best counterfeit versions still look a bit off. If the plush doesn’t have a white wash tag with a QR code, be cautious—it’s likely fake. But don’t rely on just one detail; check everything carefully. (This method works for Macaron serier, but not for "The monster-Big into energy series.")
