POP! Vinyl Hannibal Lecter Figure

Product Information

As mentioned above regarding the box art and design, licensing agreements, logos and fonts should all be there but are likely to be missing or altered on fake Funkos.

While not actually part of the NBC show, Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of the cannibal killer in The Silence of Lambs is so iconic he was honored with a Hannibal Lecter figure. Related options can be found in the Funko Pop Hannibal set for the short-lived, but highly acclaimed, NBC television series. Before opening a funko pops blog, learn to play clean and do not confuse people who want to see serious things. New Pops are amazingly painted, however you can get some quality control issues even with Funko (sadly), where paint is on parts it shouldn’t be – but this is very minimal. It’s 99% likely its a fake, because if there was a chance this is the real deal, something like this would have been snapped up by a Pro Pop Collector.

By purchasing a “CHANCE OF CHASE” item, there is a chance that you will receive the chase, or limited quantity variation of the item as your purchase. On the back it should be above the name of the Pop in the box (above the rest of the collection that is printed). Also, if they think to use shredded Chinese newspaper to give some protection, it’s a bit of a giveaway. Collect all of your favourite characters from Game of Thrones, Jungle Cruise, Star Wars, Harry Potter, the NBA, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Simpsons, The Mandalorian… the list goes on.

It’s hard to tell alone by the moulding on an old Pop if it is fake or not, but you can look at the other ways on this list to cross reference it. This is an obvious one – a cheap knock off has many tells with the quality of the box and packaging. Based on the books by Thomas Harris, the psychological horror-thriller film released in 1991, winning wide critical praise and sweeping the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director.Centering on Hopkins as the brilliant and creepy Lecter, the first Funko Pop Silence of the Lambs figure came in 2013. For example, hairlines on the rear of the figure have been poorly painted (patches missing) or not painted at all in some cases.
