The value of a Samwise Gamgee Pop! Movies figure depends on its condition and whether it has been graded.

Authentication relies on verifying the physical mold details, such as the specific shape of Samwise’s face, the positioning of his sword, and the texture of his tunic, which should match official reference images for SKU 445. Check the base for a clean, centered "Funko" logo and the correct style number, as counterfeit figures often exhibit sloppy paint applications, misaligned seams, or incorrect font styles on the label. If the figure lacks these precise manufacturing characteristics or feels significantly lighter than expected, it is likely not authentic.
