| Is there a site where I can go to and reference when checking my minifigure parts
for fake ones?
I'm starting my collection and I'm sure I already have fakes mixed in
with valid Lego parts.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I would if it was only a few parts but I have so many to inspect individually,
so I was hoping there was a site where I can reference what I need to look for
on each individual minifigure part (head, torso, legs, headpieces and so on)

Why not just post a few pictures, just a small part of the parts you suspect
to be fake?

I can do that. Just looking to confirm if every leg parts have the same pattern
(logo on bottom of feet and top of part), torso (logo on head peg), head (logo
on top of head), headpiece (logo underneath). Let me take a pic of one minifigure
that appears to have mixed parts. Thx

Here's 1 minifigure. Looks like the torso is the only fake part.

Agreed! The torso is the only fake part.
Well made picture of the inside of the part by the way!

| Please post a front image of the torso. I can have a better look. The rest of
the parts are real though.

Nope, depends on how old the part is for the feet.
At least as far back as the bluish gray era, they have the logo on the hips in
a variety of ways.

|
Yes, as least as far back as the bluish gray era.
| | head (logo on top of head),
|
Nope, depends on the mold type.
| | headpiece (logo underneath).
|
Nope, varies widely.

Most of the widely available clones don't use the actual LEGO logo anywhere.
The easist way to tell a fake is from the look and feel of the plastic.
Good luck!

At least some vintage ones have an L and an R somewhere on the legs.

I don't think I've seen hips without the logo. I'm certain I don't
have any now. Newer hips have a "vertical" logo - that is, perpendicular to the
long axis of the top of the piece, older ones "horizontal".
| | Yes, as least as far back as the bluish gray era.

Again, I don't want to say always - maybe there are some out there without
them - but I've never seen a Lego torso without the logo on top of the neck.
Even the "Legoland" torsos without arms have them in my experience
| | | | head (logo on top of head),
|
Nope, depends on the mold type.
|
Solid stud and hollow stud definitely will, and I think there is a microprinted
logo on the crossbar of the "vented" stud. Blocked open stud - no logo AFAICT

| I know people will chime in to say “not every LEGO part says LEGO on it”. But
in my experience, if the neck is missing “LEGO” it’s fake. Same with recessed
stud head, regular old stud head, and hips. Older headgear might be missing “LEGO”
and still be legit.
