TOYSEZ Authentication Lab · Report published
Reference samples documented in TAL's December 2025 report. Packaging and production batches may differ.
Batch variations exist. Compare several details together; these reference images do not authenticate an individual item.
Evidence labels identify the reference available, not an authenticity verdict. A TAL photo is a report sample; a physical check requires the figure in hand.
Packaging can vary between batches. Both bag examples below are marked authentic in the TAL report; different packaging alone is not a verdict.
Two V3 packaging examples, both marked authentic in the TAL report
