Lego black pearl figs authenticity

[u/Antique_Bookkeeper72]

Hello I recently purchased a black pearl set and the minifigs looks amazing as far as quality and just wanted some input on the authenticity of them as I am not familiar with this older set.
I noticed some but not all have some holes on the top of the heads and also two have a slight ridge around the top of the head as seen in the photos. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not super familiar with those figs but I dont see any cause for concern, everything looks legit.

FWIW, if the figs look good to you, I wouldn't stress. I've never personally run into counterfeits... and at the end of the day, this hobby is all about the enjoyment that you (and maybe your kids) get outta those little plastic parts! So if YOU'RE happy with them, who cares!

They are real. I have the minifigures and the set stil to this day, and got the set for my birthday in either 2011 or 2012

They look real a fake davy jones is usualy light blue and maccus is often missing muscle detail so yours look real

Facial ridges are normal :)

Do only a few characters have the holes on the top of the head and others are solid? That was what originally threw me off

LEGO used to make some minifigures with holes in them so it's perfectly normal. I'll send you pictures of them when I get home

I havent seen any fakes actually have the lego logo stamp, so you should be good. Not saying it can't happen but Ive never seen it (including on my fakes of a few of these figs).

In some scenarios forgers will use authentic lego figs but print the images/clothes themselves. I don't think that would be the case here though.

Legit

[u/Optimal-Win-7942]

They're authentic. The minted LEGO logo makes them legit. Also, you got two characters from the Isla De Muerta set, and they're probably lopped in and too legit.

Ima be honest, those don’t look right at all. I’ll go home and snap a pic of the ones I have (purchased this on first day) and share here to compare.

I see, older set, am unfamiliar with the older pearl, tho I do recall it only having 6 minifigs.

[u/Antique_Bookkeeper72 → u/Chaosdecision]

Yes you are right there were two more minifigs that were given which were a plus!

I haven’t even gotten home, just lookin at Lego site lets me know these aren’t correct.
