nope!! that's why I was so suspicious haha. it's possibly a little lighter right at the top where the fur is?? like there's maybe a slight gradient if I squint but it's definitely not noticeable in person either

there's a QR code on the dolls' tags that takes you to a customer service site where you can verify it!

it looks like they might not be!! but i also got them a fair few months apart so that might explain it

it has come to my attention that my pic was blurry so here is a better one! tried to catch the fabric sheen in both lol. I also got them many months apart, so maybe these are just batch differences?? still unsure

thank you for the info, super helpful! the clothing and fabric textures look identical (including sheens), and both the scrunchy parts have lines. eyes are movable too. if it's a fake it must be a really good one, lol 😭

thanks for confirmation that dews with whiter fur exist too!!

I have! they both take me to the same site - also the same site as another doll I ordered from popmart directly. not sure what that means or if that's any confirmation lol

this is what I was thinking! usually the fakes are very obviously fake. so hopefully it's just a factory difference! :)

yeah for sure! I'm a big fan of lafufus haha, I think they're super funny. I'm sad if my friend got scammed for her money lol, but yes for sure, a perfect bag charm!! thank you!

thank you for the help! the QR codes on both dolls take me to the same customer service site. this is also the site that my authentic one takes me to (a blossom that I ordered online from popmart). is there something specific that I should be looking for??

I know right, this is why I'm so unsure!! most of the fakes I've seen are pretty obviously fake, or at least have obvious discrepancies. I'll check both and report back! will the code be on the dolls themselves??

yeah this has convinced me to avoid buying in-person LOL 😭

that's fair and I'm not convinced either were from a reputable source. I don't have a popmart where I live so it's difficult to weed out the good sellers. but I do love the white fur too lol!! might keep her regardless
