Hello!
With so many online sites that sell tsum tsums it can often be difficult to identify the real from the fake. Here are some things to look for when shopping from third party sellers and a quick comparison of a real and a fake tsum tsum.
1. Find out where it is shipping from.
If it is shipping from China it is most likely a fake or defective. If it is coming from Florida or California it is most likely genuine from the parks, which gets collections 1-3 months after the initial release.
2. Look at the prices.
If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Unfortunately most real tsum tsums will be more expensive than fakes.
3. Look at the photos and read the description.
If the photos provided seem like stock photos or do not compare to the real tsum tsums it is probably not genuine. Hidden in the depths of most store descriptions it will say fanmade products.

The real and fake ones have very different shapes. For example, the real one is very rectangular and the fake one is square and small.
