The transformers pops have the same problem as some of the movie toys, they were based on pre production concepts. Happens alot with transformers merchandise.
3:57 What they should've done was have it as a deluxe movie moment ( put both toegther ). And have Lex and Tim under the car as well as have Ian Malcolm in the car.
Honestly for the pokemon ones the main problem is not that they are just reused molds with a repaint But that they are WAY too similar to the common ones just slightly metallic Because those being reused mold with a repaint would have worked if they were SHINY POKEMON POPS ✨ .For those in the back shiny Pokémon’s are a very rare variant of a Pokémon that can appear when you encounter a Pokémon shiny Pokémon’s have a different colorskin than the classic Pokémon it also has a star animation when it appears Exemple : normal charizard is orange and shiny ✨ charizard is black
For the longest time I’ve thought the shiny versions of the Pokémon should be the chases. Not sure why funko doesn’t just make shiny versions, seems like a no brainer
Hey, man! Wasn't even sure if you were still collecting. I've completely halted on the hobby myself but I've been waiting for this video, and for 'the best of the year' too!
In defense of the rise of the beast pops, bumblebee is the best out of all of them. In person it looks so much better and has alot more detail than expected. It also has a much more dynamic pose. I liked it alot to the point i ended up getting the jumbo version of it. Seems to be the only character that was translated well into pop form.
Worst Pop for me was the High Evolutionary. His face looks completely featureless, like a 2013 Pop. He didn’t have eyebrows in the movie, so I GUESS it’s screen accurate, but they should’ve sculpted a heavy brow. Yes there’s a lot of detail on the back of the head, but who sees that?
Merry Christmas to you, too. 🌲🎁 I'll be honest. I think those Star Wars chocolate ones looked the worst. Why would someone want a plastic figure that looks like food??
Good pops could be cool but I just don’t think those were a good idea, especially because foil wrapped chocolate like that is more associated with Easter
This year didn't stand out for me for either good pops or bad pops for art reasons. I think your focus on behind the scenes stuff here really highlights that
My choice for worst would be the NFT Star Trek blacklight Pops. I don't own any, but I did want Kirk in the captain's chair.... until I saw that the majority of the vinyl was not blacklight reactive! Someone has the Pops under blacklight in an eBay listing and only the Klingon's face reacts to UV light. Funko did the same screwup last year with the Elvira blacklight Pop. It's hands and exposed leg are muted under blacklight.
The Gojo pop is just brilliant.It’s like Muichiro, not action pose, but very cool, too.The thing is that in this pop Gojo uses his domain expansion, which is one of the best moments in the show.I think that this pathos makes this pop really good.I own it myself with the con sticker actually, and I’m very glad of it
Not sure it came out earlier this year or late last year but the new Matt Murdock has gotta be up there. It's cool we have an updated mold and he's holding the brick. But him standing is off putting. Looks like he's hitting the whip dance. He should've been sitting down instead.
Always get so excited for these videos at the end of the year. It was definitely a strange year for Funko but, what I apprecaite is that they seem to be bringing us some characters that people have been begging for for years! The fact that we finally got a common Indiana Jones line as well as the Ginyu Force from DBZ it is a wonder that they are still managing to keep us on the hook. But, I feel they made waaay too may in certain lines. Still way too many Marvel, way too many Star Wars and way way waaaaaay too many Anime PoPs from Naruto, One Piece and My Hero Acedimia. I think the worst one they made was the X-23 Comic Cover...no one wants it! I see it at every Target I go to so many of them that no one is buying.
The Indiana jones line did come out really nice with some good characters and versions of Jones. I guess if you’re an anime fan it’s not enough haha, but like if you’re not a one piece fan or MHA or any of the other big ones it feels like that’s all they make.
@@CollectingPlastic Yes, I only picked up one Indy piece. I added the Raiders Boulder scene and I was extremly surprised by the final product I didn't expect to get the whole damn boulder I thought it was just going to be a flat backdrop!
This is disappointing. Vlad is my favourite character from Danny Phantom and I paid so much for him. Vlad’s probably the most costly Funko I will ever own, even going as far as to preorder him in Jul 2022. And Funko screws it up despite having the correct box art?!😢 And nope, that middle streak is part of his design in the show because in human form, Vlad Masters still has that streak.
Didn’t get a whole lot of 2023 Pops, but imo the most disappointing pick up was Kraglin from Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3, nothing against the mold or anything, but he is way too top heavy and you can only get him in if you put him up against something. Shame
Funko has really gone down hill. It is no wonder they are laying off people and losing sales. They need to get back to making Funko pops and ones that people actually want. Enough with the Disney, Star Wars and Marvel crap. Disney is financially burning down, and Funko is taking that ride along with them if they don't change course. Bo-Katan is not selling because The Mandalorian season 3 was a complete shitshow - just like the rest of the Star Wars properties that Kathleen Kennedy has outright destroyed.
Great list and some great points Funko doing some awful stuff also those house of the dragon nfts then making commons almost like them. Haha and the luke dong was killer.
Still waiting for the next video ...
The transformers pops have the same problem as some of the movie toys, they were based on pre production concepts. Happens alot with transformers merchandise.
Like movie Megatron having a tiny arm on all the merchandise, but not in the movie.
Michael Myers with Hedge is top of my list
That pop is unforgivable lol
Ain't that the truth! Surprised it made it to shelves like that
I should have included that one. Definitely an oversight by me because that pop is atrocious
Wheres the next vid son!
Where’s the best of 2023? Can’t keep me hanging like this!!!
The sad thing about that Aragorn pop is that it's a good pop. Just a gitd sticker on the box for a pop that probably doesn't glow
Pretty much, that’s why it’s so lame they did what they did with the “glow”
Can't wait for best of 2023...
Starting to wonder if its even gonna happen
3:57 What they should've done was have it as a deluxe movie moment ( put both toegther ). And have Lex and Tim under the car as well as have Ian Malcolm in the car.
1 for me was the Blue Beetle chase vs the Gamestop version. The exact same only difference was the sticker.
Definitely a greedy double dip
Honestly for the pokemon ones the main problem is not that they are just reused molds with a repaint
But that they are WAY too similar to the common ones just slightly metallic
Because those being reused mold with a repaint would have worked if they were SHINY POKEMON POPS ✨
.For those in the back shiny Pokémon’s are a very rare variant of a Pokémon
that can appear when you encounter a Pokémon shiny Pokémon’s have a different colorskin than the classic Pokémon
it also has a star animation when it appears
Exemple : normal charizard is orange and shiny ✨ charizard is black
For the longest time I’ve thought the shiny versions of the Pokémon should be the chases. Not sure why funko doesn’t just make shiny versions, seems like a no brainer
Hey, man! Wasn't even sure if you were still collecting. I've completely halted on the hobby myself but I've been waiting for this video, and for 'the best of the year' too!
One of the many reasons I love the holidays, a Collecting Plastic countdown
When will it be best in 2023?
Are you still coming up with your best of 2023?

The Invisible Miles Morales from ATSV, that doesn't look translucent at all
Looks like jizz really
@@CollectingPlasticthat’s what I’m thinking too!!!
We missed ya man but yea I look forward to these every year
I missed you
I feel like michael myers behind the hedge should be in here cause only the front of the mask is white and the sides and back are just skin
That one was terrible, you’re right
@CollectingPlastic yeah and as a hard-core horror fan I was really disappointed and I hope they re do it
Yeaih! This year’s lists are finally here. Thanks for posting these one more year, I really like them. Happy New Year! 🎉
Happy new year!
Hey man , nice to see your alive ! Merry Christmas and as always , thanks for the honesty and not kissing Funko ass .
Merry Christmas!
2:15 And also how there is no background for it. A background would've been nice to get on both Funko Pops.
Ah-glitter Darth Vader? Yeah doesn’t make sense. I’m also wondering why it took them so long to do a glitter Elsa which does make sense.
You just messing with us 😅. Still waiting on next installment 😬. But for real dude. Hope all is well. Miss your vids
I got the Aragorn because it is cool enough even though it is not glowing. I agree with the chocolate funkos though😅.
Arcee or RC. Hey, I like that one in the dark Luke with his dongsaber😂
😂
My favorite time of year. I always enjoy your videos. I like when you give your opinion on how funko creates their pops
Yeah same, I always look forward to these vids
I don't even collect Pops yet I've been watching this series for a couple of years already! Happy new year!
Where’s the top 10 best list? Love your videos!
this is an annual tradition now
Merry Christmas mate great to see you upload!!!
Merry Christmas!
Err Dr Grant is a character on his own as is the T-Rex. They don’t need to come together
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Its pronounced R C...she was from the original animated movie. Funko has nothing to do with her name.
Oh man I had no idea 🙄
Worst Pop for me was the High Evolutionary. His face looks completely featureless, like a 2013 Pop. He didn’t have eyebrows in the movie, so I GUESS it’s screen accurate, but they should’ve sculpted a heavy brow. Yes there’s a lot of detail on the back of the head, but who sees that?
Same with the Kang pop, I want comic book accurate pop versions of The High Evolutionary & Kang The Conqueror
That pop is pretty bad
Wheres the best of?
My pick would be the green Namor. Kinda looks like a skylander.
That one was a pretty pointless one
Merry Christmas to you, too. 🌲🎁
I'll be honest. I think those Star Wars chocolate ones looked the worst.
Why would someone want a plastic figure that looks like food??
Imo, I love the chocolate ones! I think figures that look like food are super fun!
Good pops could be cool but I just don’t think those were a good idea, especially because foil wrapped chocolate like that is more associated with Easter
This year didn't stand out for me for either good pops or bad pops for art reasons. I think your focus on behind the scenes stuff here really highlights that
Merry Xmas where did u go????
New job taking up my time unfortunately
This why the market for Funko is going down the drain and many vendors don't want to buy Funko any more or least a few.
My choice for worst would be the NFT Star Trek blacklight Pops. I don't own any, but I did want Kirk in the captain's chair.... until I saw that the majority of the vinyl was not blacklight reactive! Someone has the Pops under blacklight in an eBay listing and only the Klingon's face reacts to UV light.
Funko did the same screwup last year with the Elvira blacklight Pop. It's hands and exposed leg are muted under blacklight.
I didn’t realize that, that IS terrible
You forgot to mention the faucet pops, absolute garbage that no one asked for
Funko is the hoke in the boat of a sinking shit if they don't fix these obvious issues
Some tweaks need to be done for sure
the rise of the beast pops were based off concept art not the final designs in the movie
The Gojo pop is just brilliant.It’s like Muichiro, not action pose, but very cool, too.The thing is that in this pop Gojo uses his domain expansion, which is one of the best moments in the show.I think that this pathos makes this pop really good.I own it myself with the con sticker actually, and I’m very glad of it
Whats the intro theme?
Hahahahahaha I was not expecting the starwars 1
😂
we still waiting on the top 10 brother
Not sure it came out earlier this year or late last year but the new Matt Murdock has gotta be up there. It's cool we have an updated mold and he's holding the brick. But him standing is off putting. Looks like he's hitting the whip dance. He should've been sitting down instead.
Lol that one is awkward for sure
It's a Dong!!!!!.....🤣

Hard to disagree with most of these picks. My favorite pops of the year were the Voodoo Ranger, Smores Boy, and the Blacklight Bigfoot.
Those are great picks, I love the voodoo ranger too
The jurassic park ones were actually $40 each, not 30...
Oof
Dr grant is standing beside a ford explorer not a jeep.
Where u been broskie
las vegas
Long time no see 😆
I say *Yuno from Black Clover PX previews* is one the best pops of the year
I second this!
That one is nice
How could you say that’s blackface? Odd be
I missed your videos 🥲
wait i have that luke skywalker gitd and the lightsaber is perfectly molded
Probably not all of them are donged
This is disappointing. Vlad is my favourite character from Danny Phantom and I paid so much for him.

Where is your beat video?
The Ranger Slayer debacle is absolutely insane. Who would even bother with NFT Pops knowing this?
Not sure, I guess some people find the actual NFTs fun so they don’t care
Didn’t they bury a bunch of funkos somewhere?
Yeah, the board games in landfills
@@demosneokleous4877 I thought it was pops too?
The new MHA Shoto Todoroki GITD is a best pop of the year contender for me! Yuno GITD as well
Didn’t get a whole lot of 2023 Pops, but imo the most disappointing pick up was Kraglin from Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3, nothing against the mold or anything, but he is way too top heavy and you can only get him in if you put him up against something. Shame
I love this lists
Luckily I stopped collecting Funko Pops in 2019
They might make your dream series yet, you never know
You want a medal or something?
@@demosneokleous4877 I said that I needed a metal
Are you doing the best like usual
When are you going to do the top ten best Funko Pops of 2023.
In the next week or so
I’m looking forward to it
@@CollectingPlasticit's been over a month, where is it?
We are at the end of March. Why are you taking so long to make a best of Funko Pops of 2023 video.
We are in the month of May what is taking you so long to do the best of 2023 video.
Funko has really gone down hill. It is no wonder they are laying off people and losing sales. They need to get back to making Funko pops and ones that people actually want. Enough with the Disney, Star Wars and Marvel crap. Disney is financially burning down, and Funko is taking that ride along with them if they don't change course.
Bo-Katan is not selling because The Mandalorian season 3 was a complete shitshow - just like the rest of the Star Wars properties that Kathleen Kennedy has outright destroyed.
I agree, I loved all the mcu and Disnwy pops but they've done them now, we don't need anymore
Man I thought you got inot an accident or you stopped collecting. Man Funko creativity has gone downhill seeing these pops >.
I’m still kickin 😂
We missed you
One Piece Zoro w Enma may not be a 2023 pop, but it came out semi recently and DOESNT HAVE ENMA. HE ISNT HOLDING THE RIGHT SWORD LOL.
Spot on as always CP 👌
Great list and some great points Funko doing some awful stuff also those house of the dragon nfts then making commons almost like them. Haha and the luke dong was killer.
The house of the dragon double dip is bad too, just picked the ranger slayer to represent all of that nonsense
Hoping the Best Funko POPs of the Year could have the Sun & Moon POP from Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach as an honorable mention
Those were super unique
He upset all the gojo fangirls with this one
Maybe FUNKO should listen to me, and maybe even employ me, I feel I do have some very good FUNKO PoP Vinyl figure ideas 💡
Send in that application
Worst pop of year
My me-pop (insert proper name)
Some of these me pops aren’t great
pleaseeeee do the best!!! 🤩
What is a NFT POP?
A very limited and super expensive pop that you have to get lucky to earn
@@demosneokleous4877 oh ok. How do you earn them?
And the worst pop of 2023 is 💯 Wondercon expensive M.O.D.O.K
I didn’t realize Funko had any pops this year. Jk merry xmas
Merry Xmas!
Wow these are all bad. No wonder I stopped collecting
I love JJK, and even I will say that the con exclusive Gojo sucks ass.
The head sculpt is nice. It's the reused body of the common that really ruined the pop
Arse??? Lmmfao...Arcee is pronounced like R C but thats the best wrong ever!!! Lmmfao
Nooooooo not gojo I think all gojos are good.
They all have the same body as the common except from the Hollow Purple one
Your voice remind me of discord mod :)
Ok but wheres the best of 2023 video? Its been like, 3 weeks …
9 months later and still nothing
