How to tell if your Kaws Figure is real
To tell if your Kaws Figure is real or fake, check the facial details, particularly the lines that form the face.
Fake figures often have inaccurately sized lines.
1. Glue Stains
Authentic: Perfectly attached “body parts” and paint, without any glue stains.
Fake: Has glue stains and poorly fit plastic pieces.
2. Face
Authentic:
Eyes: Bold and deeply set “X X” logo.
Nostrils: Noticeably deep and thick holes.
Glove Symbol: Distinctly thick “X” logo on gloves.
Fake:
Eyes: Thin and superficially set “X X” logo.
Nostrils: Shallow and thinly formed holes.
Glove Symbol: Thin “X” logo on gloves.

Smaller, shorter “..” dots
The two letters “M” are too thick and small.
Let’s look at another authentic example:
A quick mention:
The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
The next few steps are still reliable methods…
… but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item
If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.
4. Gloves
Authentic: Thicker, solid “X” with the same thickness all over the letter.
Fake: Thinner “X” at the top.
See how the fake “X” is improperly filled with paint as well — it has scratches in the middle.
5. Holographic sticker
Authentic: Has the holographic sticker.
Fake: Missing sticker on the box.
6. Packaging paper
Authentic: The paper has engravings just like on the box.
Fake: Empty paper, without any inscriptions.
7. Box
Authentic: Has a barcode.
Fake: Missing barcode.
Shortlist: Legit check your Kaws figure
If you’re in a hurry or shopping online, you can rely on the following two key indicators:
See if there are any glue stains. Fake figures may have their parts improperly attached.
Examine the details on the face of your Kaws Together figure, paying attention to the holes that form the face and gloves of the doll. Replicas tend to have these holes too thin.
Check the inscription on the sole of your Kaws figure, as fake versions may have text with the incorrect thickness.
