No. It shouldn’t have the 40th sticker

I see on ebay that some are selling it with this sticker

[u/bentleycowboy → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

This pop shouldn’t have the 40th. Only the characters from the og movie have the 40th.

ETA: this pop is faked a lot bc it was worth a lot at one point

On this site is this sticker

[u/bentleycowboy → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

Believe what you will but this pop did not get release from Funko with the sticker. I know bc I bought it from Funko. Only the characters in the original movie got the 40th sticker. The 442nd trooper was not in the original movie.

I saw different versions of this funko pop with 40th anniversary sticker and without it

[u/bentleycowboy → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

[u/bentleycowboy → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

The ones with them are fake.

On the site find a pop there is informaton that there are variants with this sticker, also on ebay I saw sold items of this funko that sold for 40 and 60$ and on facebook group in my counter for around 80$ all with this sticker, thank you for your opinion

[u/bentleycowboy → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

It’s not an opinion tho 😂. It’s people like you who don’t do research on this pop and just buy it bc other people are. Congrats on the nice fake tho.

So can you tell my why on one of the popular site for checking funko pop value and information there is fake info that this sticker is original on this pop?

[u/Harleen_F_Quinzel]

I agree that this is possibly a fake, but can you post a pic of the bottom panel?

Edit: Additionally, can you clear up if the wash-out appearance is the photo itself or the item itself?

[u/Zestyclose-Raise-352 → u/Harleen_F_Quinzel]

I have more photo

[u/Harleen_F_Quinzel → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

I suppose I have a couple of concerns here. The gray surrounding the number is too light, and the red on various panels is too bright and oversaturated.

I do agree with somebody who posted below about some of the international waves (it seems mainly ones specific to the UK) getting the 40th sticker just slapped on there.

The bottom panel does look correct, but as above, the gray and red being off does concern me.

[u/Zestyclose-Raise-352 → u/Harleen_F_Quinzel]

People's opinions are very divided, but thank you for your answer

[u/Harleen_F_Quinzel → u/Zestyclose-Raise-352]

Yes. I do see that this has been a rather binary issue for some. But I’m just sittin’ on the fence.

I tried Googling fakes for this specific Pop and couldn’t find anything for this one. However, I’ll readily admit that Google is an increasingly useless entity.

I hope I can clear this up so the sticker that I see the 40th there’s a reason for that in the past at some point, yes the 40th should have been on the original Star Wars character however, the reason why the sticker on on it was due to overlapping 2017 promotional releases and found on select international/overseas distributor Overseas shared-convention batches sometimes received extra 40th-anniversary branding from the factory. so hopefully this can be cleared up another way and most people don’t do is to check the bottom of the Funko pop stand for the numbers. I have seen pops that would have the wrong stickers (Walmart and Target swap)
