How to spot fake Mofusand figures

Don't get scammed here’s how to tell if your cat in a costume is the real deal.

Mofusand figures are becoming wildly popular and unfortunately, that means fakes are showing up too. Counterfeit products often look similar at first glance, but the differences matter: lower quality, no licensing, and no real connection to the artist or the brand.

If you want to avoid disappointment, here’s everything you need to know to spot a fake Mofusand figure before you buy.

✅ 1. Check for official packaging

Real Mofusand blind boxes always come in branded, sealed packaging with:

Clean printing (no blurry logos or pixelated images)
A list or graphic showing the full collection
Manufacturer info (usually in Japanese or English)
An authenticity label or QR code (on some series)

📦 If your box is plain, messy, or missing brand info it’s a red flag.

👁 2. Look closely at the paint & sculpting

Authentic figures are known for precise paintwork and fine details:

No paint bleeding, uneven lines, or misaligned eyes
The texture (like fried shrimp or fur) should feel intentional and clean
Facial expressions should match official images

⚠️ Fake figures often look off weird colors, flat faces, or sloppy finishes.

🏷 3. Pay attention to the price

Mofusand figures aren't luxury items, but they aren't super cheap either.
A suspiciously low price (e.g. $4 or less) is a common sign of counterfeits.

💡 If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to trusted stores (like us 👋) or verified retailers.

📍 4. Buy from official or known sources

Avoid:

Shady marketplace listings (AliExpress, Wish, or random third-party sellers)
Sellers without photos of real packaging
Descriptions like “Mofusand style” or “inspired by” that usually means fake

Do:

Buy from licensed stores or specialty retailers
Look for collector-run shops with good reviews
Shop directly from mofusand.co to guarantee 100% official products

🔍 5. Verify with the community

If you’re unsure, ask!
Reddit, Discord groups, and Instagram collectors can help you compare packaging and figures. The Mofusand community is full of helpful people who hate fakes as much as you do.

📸 Tip: Post photos and ask, “Is this legit?” someone will tell you quickly.

🚫 Why fakes are a problem

It’s not just about quality. Fake figures:

Don’t support the original artist (Juno)
Often fall apart, smell bad, or arrive damaged
Can include unsafe materials or toxic paint
Hurt the entire collector community

Buying real means you support creativity, enjoy better quality, and get the joy you paid for.

🐾 Final Thought

A true Mofusand figure is soft, strange, and beautifully made just like Juno intended.
Protect your collection (and your wallet) by buying smart, shopping trusted, and staying alert.
