Am I the only one that will clear a whole shelf and pick and sort until I find the best pop that has the best paint job, check the hands, hair, and feet
Yeah box condition matters. As many I collect just for fun, because I like it. I’m not too picky when it comes to condition, but if it’s super minor where I know it’s not that big a deal then I’m good but if it’s really noticeable then nah. I’m not going to be collecting forever, so having the best possible box condition is a must for whenever I decide to get rid of my stuff. If it’s from 2015 and back then I’m not to picky about the condition
Heads up for anyone looking for the red eyes or black eyes golden frieza: if it has the little R with the circle around it next to the Pop logo, its fake.
Uh oh you said FAKE! Lol some may come and say 🤓 “it’s Custom” LoL. I said fake at a pop meet about a fake vegeta pop and he’s like “uhh you mean custom” a bit rude and I never went back to his table that’s for sure haha
OOB collector here. I keep the boxes though so I only buy significantly damaged boxes if I’m told in advance and discounted but also my family has a habit of damaging by boxes so AI don’t sweat it to hard.
I was just able to pick up the six inch Mount Lady pop, which is Hot topic exclusive. Last in stock and Hot Topic isn’t overseas so it’s probably worth quite a bit, I still haven’t checked yet
Im a hardcore collector I had the chance for a hex girls funko. But i denied the funko even tho the dude lowered 25 bucks, it had a small little bent on the plastic...please...i cant change my ways...to this day i still hit myself for that chance
Thank you so much, I like videos like this because I am a new (2yrs) to the funko family and I am a huge collector, these video's are very informant. Please make more videos Like this. I love collecting all batman funko pop
@@SwiggyChannel Hihihi! Seriously, I destroy the boxes, but I respect those who don't. I take an fanatical extra care of my comics and Blu-rays, so I'm not any different! :)
Great Break down skip!u made lots of good points that I agree with. I swear Bryan Moriarty is related to Willy Wonka, because this company seems to be run by a crazy person most of the time. But hey they are making crazy money so the madness is working. I know it's morbid but when somebody dies that usually raises the value of their pop. Pop pop till you drop🍾
No. If done correctly nobody would know if the box was ever opened. I watched a video by Dr. Applesauce regarding this. Basically, the correct/safest way to open a Funko box without damaging it is to slide a plastic card (or a knife, with the blunt side towards the tab) from the side of the bottom lid. Then, push back towards the lid's tab (where you would normally put your fingers to open the box) to free it from the side flaps and pull up twisting the card or knife carefully. To be even safer do it twice, one for each side. And that's it. If you want to store the figure again you dust it off and put it back in the box carefully.
I would buy that tony the tiger for 800 dollaroos its freakin tony the tiger idc about the box id buy it even if it had a rip on the front of the box the figure is freakin mint
10,000 - 20,000?? Really? That's not mass production. More like over 100,000 at least. Maybe not 10 years ago but today that's for certain. Even the "Limited Edition" pops and exclusives will run about 20,000 or so. Funko is cashing in on their popularity and mass producing almost every pop out there. When was the last time a common pop was made that was difficult to find? Even exclusives to big stores like Target and Walmart are fairly easy to find. For this reason I have cut down on my collection considerably and only buy exclusives, Chase, or convention pieces. The only exception is if I really want it or need it as part of a specific collection such as Ninja Turtles or football teams. Otherwise I dont buy any at all. It's just not worth it.
New to Funko but I'm also a collector of action figures and robots. Yes its supply and demand but I have observed another thing that also appreciates an item's value is its pop culture or character's significance. Significance in a story, history, nostaliga or what it represents. Like an minor character before will have significant character development or twist Or if thats the only figure that this character has for this brand or the first (OG). Or this famous artist/celebrity died. Or an underrated series or movie that became famous and is now on mainstream media. So basically luck too. 😅
Question: let's say i can only use amazon to order my pops; but the pop i want is an entertainment earth exclusive. Will the figure reach Amazon eventually and keep the value?
Hi I'm new, I want to start collecting! With your collection, do some of your funko pops have some of their paint chipped? Idk if i shouldnt mind it or if i should only buy ones that the paint is not chipped?
SkittleRampage oh great! I have some Willy Wonka Funko pops that are signed! They have a COA so that’s good to know. Probably won’t be selling them anytime soon though.
@@SkittleRampage ok then why the change,a damaged box makes it almost worthless.I do enjoy your channel friend but it just looks at face value that you have so many that you have lost that 'loving feeling'.☺️☺️☺️.
