Scrapper Info:

The fake one has decidedly redder hair.

Also the fake one is not as thick as the real one. The official pin trading stamp has a bit of an odd mickey head on it because the ears narrow too much where they meet the base of the head. Another minute detail that I noticed concerns the leftmost finger on his hand. The real one has a roundish fingertip and the fake one has an extremely square fingertip.

In addition, the real one is the brownish green one. The nubs are smaller and close to the stem as they should be and the pin is thicker than the reddish brown one with the reddish hair. Also the lettering on the back of the thicker pin is much clearer and distinct. The picture is the real pin w/ the darker hair
