Is my toy real or a fake?
Fake collectibles are common online. ToyLens' 'Is it real?' tab looks for signs in your photos (missing or wrong markings, paint quality, materials, packaging errors) and says what it could and could not check. It's a first look, not an authentication.

Questions
Can ToyLens prove a toy is genuine?
No. It lists signs from photos. Authentication needs physical inspection by an expert.
Are fake toys unsafe?
Some knock-offs skip safety testing (small parts, materials). Be careful with toys for young children.
Can I use the report for a refund claim?
It may help explain your concerns, but platforms and sellers make their own decisions.
