How-to Detect a Fake Tsum Tsum

There are many ways to tell a fake Tsum Tsum apart from an authentic one. One of the most obvious signs is seeing an unreleased Tsum Tsum character.

Many fake Tsum Tsum also comes attached with a chain on the neck/back. Authentic Tsum Tsums do not come with a strap or chain on the back.

You can also spot fake Tsum Tsums based on the poor quality, different shades in color, and other subtle differences.
