How to Spot Fake Sonny Angels

1
Look for defects or misprints on the packaging. Real Sonny Angels are sold in colorful hexagonal boxes that are shrink-wrapped in clear plastic. Inspect the packaging to make sure that it has the Dreams logo printed on one of the sides and that all the words are spelled correctly. If you notice spelling errors, missing logos, blurry images, or dull colors, then the Sonny Angel is probably a fake.
- Sonny Angel packages show pictures of all the possible figures that could be inside, including a silhouette for a secret figure. If you don’t see the figures or a secret silhouette featured, then it’s a fake.
Real Sonny Angel figures are sealed inside an opaque foil bag that’s colored to match the series box. If you see a Sonny Angel sealed in a transparent plastic bag, then it’s definitely a counterfeit.^{[7]

Watch for messy paint jobs on the Sonny Angel figure. Legit Sonny Angel figures have clean paint lines that smoothly transition between different colors. If you notice that the paint looks splotchy or has sudden changes in color, it could be a sign of a fake.
- Look at the Sonny Angel’s eyes and eyebrows to see if they’re centered and level with each other. If they’re crooked or your figure seems to be looking in different directions, then it’s probably a fake.
- Fake Sonny Angels may also look shinier while real ones have a matte finish.
4
Look for manufacturer stamps on the figure. Real Sonny Angels have “Sonny Angel © Dreams” printed on one foot and “Made in China” printed on the other. Fake figures will either misspell the words or completely remove the printing from the feet.^{[8]

- On Sonny Angel Hippers, the manufacturer's stamps are on the flat section of the figure’s belly instead of its feet.
Every Sonny Angel series has a set of potential figures that could be inside the blind box. If you don’t recognize the figure that someone is trying to sell, double-check if the figure is listed on the Sonny Angel site to confirm if it’s an actual release.
Real Sonny Angels cost between $10-20 USD from most sellers. If you see a price that’s too good to be true, it probably is and they may be selling a low-quality fake. If the prices are a lot more than what you’d expect, a reseller may be trying to make more of a profit from the purchase.
