# Collectibles & Authentication Questions #### Q: What types of art & designer toy figures can be represented on TrendeX? A: TrendeX supports a wide range of art & designer toy figures, including plush editions, vinyl figures, limited editions, designer collaborations, blind box figures, large-scale collector's items, and figures from various IPs like Labubu, Bearbrick, Molly, Pokémon, and Disney. Our tier system categorizes them for clarity and benefits. #### Q: How does the third-party authentication process work? A: If you wish to certify your existing physical collectible, you initiate the process on our platform and mail your figure to our certified authentication partners. They perform a professional inspection to verify its authenticity. Once confirmed, your NFT receives a verified certification badge, enhancing its trust and rarity. #### Q: Do I have to authenticate my collectible to mint its NFT? A: No, you can mint an NFT for your collectible without prior third-party authentication. However, obtaining an official certification badge through our service will increase your NFT's trust, potential resale value, and may grant higher TRENDEX rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
