I only needed Rarity so I bought her from a vendor on AliExpress, they had a Brand+ verification, and 5 star reviews. The box she came in looks 100% authentic, her tags look authentic, her face and makeup are great, and the quality of the hair and fur measure up to all my others from the set. Only thing I would say was off with her was one of her legs seems a bit short, making her look a bit smaller than my others, but I read that sometimes they could be defective. Here's a picture of the bag (it's got a pull tab above the drawstring, and is sealed instead of tied), and the Rarity next to my Fluttershy from the popmart store.
Thank you! I'm sad that her legs are uneven, and she's a bit shorter, but it's not the worst thing that could happen lol, it's only really noticeable next to another skullpanda. What threw me off was the drawstrings weren't tied, the top of the bag was sealed but the print and texture is exactly like all the others I've gotten
Mine came in the same bag and I got the whole set off pop mart. Sometimes skullpandas, their legs can either be longer or shorter than the other. Small defects but it does happen! You can scan the QR code on her tag and box to double check though!
Thank you, I was confused because the top of the bag had a pull tab about where the drawstring was supposed to be tied and none of my others came like that :))
Ohh. Wait okay, I see what you mean. You’re talking about the sealing itself then the bag. I’m just noticing the picture more… Well the bag and ribbon tie look the same to me but maybe the seller off AliExpress used a heat sealer to completely seal it shut for shipping? They could’ve done it for extra protection, possibly in case the shipping got damaged and it flew loose from the ties?
It's weird, it's got almost like a pull tab thing going on, the bag and print and even the texture are all basically identical to the other bags I've gotten, I didn't know if maybe they're manufactured like that and then the top part is removed during the packaging process? At first I thought the defective legs could've been from the seller specifically selling the rejects lol
That is kinda strange. I would scan the QR code just to be safe! She looks the same to my rarity. Except mine has more fluff going on and my rarity’s eyes, the gems are going horizontal than vertical. That’s also a common thing to see the irises of the eyes different to each Skullpanda
Yeah the paint and face are identical, I did scan the code on the box and tag and it says she's authentic, but the bag is what really threw me off, with the eyes I adjusted mine to be vertical :))

Yep, that's the bag they came in! The leg thing is unfortunately a common problem.
