I would say know the trends of the genre of pops you like. Anime pops tend to sell out quicker. Where others don't. So If you are on a budget make sure to snatch the ones that sell out quicker.
Don't let the insert get thrown away is what I wish I told myelf! I got a grimmjow and renji funko pop on christmas and someone threw away the insert! So now I needa browse ebay and mercari everyday looking for a box replacement :(
Save the boxes! I started early on as a casual out of box collector, tossing the boxes without a thought. Finally saw a few years later how many early pops are actually worth with the box
also save the inserts. I tried to save space by binning the plastic insert and fold the box flat. It's a waste of time because at that point there's no value in the box.
This was even before i started collecting funko the number one thing i did when i bought my first one was simple i keep it in the box because that's with anything collectible if you're going to sell something buyers 1. Want them mint in the box and 2. If you have them autographed they want proof of a coa with it. As a collector myself there's still one thing i still havent figured out and thats why some funkos just have pop written on them and some has the red bar under it that says marvel, television, etc. 🤔🤷♂️
Nice list for people. As for the question of the day, the thing I would have love to tell myself when I started was not to go to hard in buying almost every pop that I saw that I thought was ok. Still paying for it now every time I have go through my collection and try to sell off one I don't need anymore to make room. Also, don't buy so many mystery boxes. I am still trying to kick that bad habit.
Thank you so much for this video! This would’ve helped me a lot a few months back when I started collecting Funko Pops, but thankfully enough I learned most of the things on this list thanks to YOU being my main source of news for Funko Pops since I started. Love your work and your videos, Keep up the amazing work!!!🔥💙
Don’t collect sets just to complete it and not enjoy it! Spent so much money trying to complete a set, that half of the pops I bought for the set I didn’t even want, lmao, only collect pops that you genuinely want!
@@SkittleRampage Your very welcome! When i saw Bayley’s video i knew i had to make one to say happy birthday in person. You’ve never let me down Donte and i’m proud to be a subscriber and fellow Funko collector. You and Bayley have a nice evening.
My advice to my younger collecting self is to make a blue print on how you wanna display them before buying the set, get a bunch of protectors from Amazon and especially to don’t give into FOMO
I got an 18 inch All Might for $28 at my local GameStop. They already had him locally discounted for 50 bucks, but then they were having a nationwide sale on Clearance items. I had walked in and seen him many times. I asked “with the discount on All Might what’s the price on him now?” She was like “28 dollars! Wow that’s crazy!” I literally ran to All Might in the store and grabbed him and ran back to the counter. I would’ve pushed children if they were in my way!! (Just kidding) But dude…still my happiest Funko moment
I been collecting them, and it’s definitely fun and became a family activity when we go out. Makes it fun, and makes me feel like a kid again. Plus I love the way the Funko look, super cool
I know this was a whole year ago, but it’s insane man. My whole family thinks funko pops are a waste of money (especially my dad) and I wish I could get em more often
I would have told myself, "Just get it!" My first experience with Funkos was about 5 years ago when I saw a Shadow the Hedgehog with Chao in my local games store for $25. My Mum didn’t want us getting into them and told me not to get it. She gave in a bit later for a Pikachu on clearance for $9 (They really ordered more than they needed). Last year, I really wanted it and it costs $200 now! I was lucky to find one for $50 that was a little scuffed on the box. Lesson learned: get it when you see it, or the chances of getting one later are slim.
I just started too I got 4. All Dragon Ball I got glow chase Goku with wings, UI Goku vs Jiren in a 2 pack set, and super saiyan Trunks w sword lol. I don’t know much just been grabbing what I like. It’s crazy cuz the Goku w wings shot way up in price recently.
I've never collected anything that I didn't use like how I use cards and video games. Curious about this since they could increase value in time and my local game store sells and buys a bunch of these. If I just collect, I'd want to do either naruto, bleach, dragon ball, or pokemon collections.
I've been pop collecting for over four years now, and I can't agree with you more on having fun collecting I used to just collect pops because I liked them now I just feel I collect them thinking I have to have them to make a set but honestly I might go back to just getting what I really like and don't if that makes sense also HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎊
The one thing I would tell myself is to invest in pop protectors. I have a few grails now that are damaged as I was stacking them on top of each other without protectors.
Really usefull video, Liked it, Personally Im thorwing boxes away, I like my funkos to be displayed,Having them In the boxes Im so much limited, cant take it and have a look arround, or Im not a fan of taking out each funko from the boxes, i like to see in 360 instead of looking thrue the box, its my personal prefenence, not even a single funko of mine are in boxes, I have display port and they are covered by glass, and I can always have a nice 360 look into them
If I knew that I was going to collect them and the value of them, I would have saved the box of several ones, for instances remi flocked that I bought on holidays in Paris
QOTD answer: wish I followed the funko news to get my arcane funkos in time Really hope vi and cait restock soon (somehow cait's already dry under 24 hours of its pre-order release) I'm a huge fan and it's been really bumming me out I'll certainly stalk their insta from now on (and get King preordered right now)
Is it worth getting the 6 pack guaranteed chase bundle for chalice exclusives? Idk how hard they are to find or how much more the chalice chases are sold by themselves
Try checking out toy temple they bundle a common and chase for $80. Typically new chase if it glows go for around 60-$80. If it does not glow usually it's abot $50 to $60 if new and if we are talking anime.
Thank you!! I started to collect Funko Pop figures since two of my friends bought me reconfigured. I bought my first one back on 2021, but I no longer like or, so I gave it away to an orphanage 😊 - I plan to buy the figures of the series I like combined with the Bluerays or Mangas of that series
Question: What is better. A pop with a Hot Topic sticker or the same exact pop with the "Special Edition" sticker? It seems like there is a difference is price value based on the sticker.
if i was back in time i was going t tell me "dont get mystery boxes they are not for u.." and now i am tellling t myself "why dint u take ichigo chase with 90euro...they are not going t reprint it (probably)" :')
I have a question. The 2 funko pop retailers i want to go to are game stop and 5 below. Five below has funko pops for less money, but game stop has funko pops that I really like (I like both funko pops sold, I just like the ones at game stop better.) Which one do I go for? P.S: I am a new collector.
Very interesting video. I need to know where to find replacement boxes for some that were damage. Is out there a place where we could buy some? Many thanks!!
Unfortunately I have purchased two fake Funko Pops one from the comic book store in my Mall. War Machine Iron Man 3 wasn't a bobblehead and was very dark black. And I ordered a red eye golden Frieza off mercari for like 70🤦🏽♂️😡🤦🏽♂️
👌 love this newish im to collecting the fake side of things confuses me so much there's so many that look the same can you do more on this , like I've seen listings were they use actual Funko pictures and say Funko pop vinyl in the brand description but then the price is $20 each for a 10 piece collection so 200 were as I know one of this certain collection is going for $100 🤔
QOTD answer: I wish I coulda told myself to stick with a few sets. Don’t try and collect everything because you’ll run out of money and room on your shelves.
If I knew it would become an addiction, I would've never started my collection. I have more than 1,000 Pops. Why!! I don't know what happened to my brain. These Pops are the devil :( Pokémon's cousin. Got to catch them all. July was going to be "No buy July". I purchased Funko Pops every single day of July. I need Funko Pops Anonymous. Now I can't stop until I get my BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER Pops.
Is there anything else Pop Collectors should know?
I think Carnage was also sold on Popcultcha. I've seen quite a few with it's sticker.
I would say know the trends of the genre of pops you like. Anime pops tend to sell out quicker. Where others don't. So If you are on a budget make sure to snatch the ones that sell out quicker.
Can you talk about autos and where to get them at and what they use to sign with? Also can you tell me personally what Funko is?
Don't let the insert get thrown away is what I wish I told myelf! I got a grimmjow and renji funko pop on christmas and someone threw away the insert! So now I needa browse ebay and mercari everyday looking for a box replacement :(
Make sure to research or background check someone selling a pop to you on a website and keep an eye on prices
Save the boxes! I started early on as a casual out of box collector, tossing the boxes without a thought. Finally saw a few years later how many early pops are actually worth with the box
Same here my first few pops have no box
Haha good to know I wasn’t the only one that did that !
@@conororourke2767 am I still considered a pop collector with only two one exclusive and one normal one
also save the inserts. I tried to save space by binning the plastic insert and fold the box flat. It's a waste of time because at that point there's no value in the box.
@@bigmanmccheez5342to be honest I do not care

I would go back and tell myself to use that time machine to go back even farther to 2008 !!!!! So this time I don't miss all the cool pops lol
Just started Collecting today, planning to resale and collect them!
Same here, just started :)

This is such a helpful video and it would be cool to see more collectors guides, keep up the great work😁
Bring your favorite ones on vacation just for fun
Don’t buy everything you like…buy the ones you love.
Great way to collect and the least expensive way.
Don’t collect sets just to complete it and not enjoy it! Spent so much money trying to complete a set, that half of the pops I bought for the set I didn’t even want, lmao, only collect pops that you genuinely want!

Noice
I would tell myself to buy diamond collection pops because I love them now and I NEED MORE!
i used to always throw the boxes away and i wish i never did
I would tell myself, start slow and invest but with your heart.
I would tell myself to not start buying Funko pops 😭
I would tell myself back in high school, “INVEST IN FUNKO!!!”
IF I could go back in time what would I tell myself? GET ALL OF THE HOLLOW ICHIGO!!!
fear of missing out indeed, I'm still cranky that I didn't understand funko online only purchases, and missed out on Snake Plissken.
I been collecting them, and it’s definitely fun and became a family activity when we go out. Makes it fun, and makes me feel like a kid again. Plus I love the way the Funko look, super cool

Some of my favorite ones I’ve gotten I’ve gotten for clearance prices 😅😅 yard sales are fun to go to and find them too
Thank u so much for your video, my favorite part is "Have fun!".
Thank you great video. I'm newbie in funko pop
I would have told myself, "Just get it!"
My first experience with Funkos was about 5 years ago when I saw a Shadow the Hedgehog with Chao in my local games store for $25. My Mum didn’t want us getting into them and told me not to get it. She gave in a bit later for a Pikachu on clearance for $9 (They really ordered more than they needed).

How many u got now

Great vid ! I think this will help out a lot of new collectors! Keep up the good work thanks for the vid skittle!
I should have bought that 501st clone trooper pop when it first came out lol

I would tell myself to not buy everything immediately because they may make a better exclusive version of the common
I just started buying the characters i like. So im sticking with Moon Knight & Dr. Strange.
One from each movie.
Thats funny because I just got those to
Not put a slight creace in the bottom when i open them made this mistake a few times
The one thing I would tell myself is to invest in pop protectors. I have a few grails now that are damaged as I was stacking them on top of each other without protectors.
Which protectors are best??/is the thin plastic ones okay??
My son has had about every fnaf item from release to about 3 years ago. Never scaned em or kept packages...
I wish I woulda known how quickly I’d need to find more space to display my pops😂😅☀️💛☀️💛
I would tell myseld about funko pops sooner so that I could start collecting right then and there.
Really usefull video, Liked it, Personally Im thorwing boxes away, I like my funkos to be displayed,Having them In the boxes Im so much limited, cant take it and have a look arround, or Im not a fan of taking out each funko from the boxes, i like to see in 360 instead of looking thrue the box, its my personal prefenence, not even a single funko of mine are in boxes, I have display port and they are covered by glass, and I can always have a nice 360 look into them
What does the number in the top right corner of the box mean?
If I knew that I was going to collect them and the value of them, I would have saved the box of several ones, for instances remi flocked that I bought on holidays in Paris
Great video! Thanks for the info!!
We love your videos! Very informative 👏
I just started collecting and I have 10
Heyyy I was wondering how much do Funko minis go for? I currently have the avengers(captain American, nick fury, Thor, and doctor strange)
Get 3 of each of these. Then I'd hand them a list of current hard to find funkos.
QOTD answer: wish I followed the funko news to get my arcane funkos in time
Really hope vi and cait restock soon (somehow cait's already dry under 24 hours of its pre-order release) I'm a huge fan and it's been really bumming me out
I'll certainly stalk their insta from now on (and get King preordered right now)
I just wanted to know what that corner means those random numbers
Buy this glow in the dark moon knight. Now its 300$ and I still really want it
Open the box from the bottom!!!!
I kept my boxes bc they looked cool xd
Assuming they eventually go out of business, will GameStop exclusive Funko be worth anything in the future?
Idk I see many good pops what should I collect one kind of cartoon n etc or mix pops
Is it worth getting the 6 pack guaranteed chase bundle for chalice exclusives? Idk how hard they are to find or how much more the chalice chases are sold by themselves
Try checking out toy temple they bundle a common and chase for $80. Typically new chase if it glows go for around 60-$80. If it does not glow usually it's abot $50 to $60 if new and if we are talking anime.
How do you get the funkos boxes to stand on the second floor to the shelf on the left
Thanks for the guide I really need this guide thanks for uploading so helpful videos Keep up the good work you do
Thank you!! I started to collect Funko Pop figures since two of my friends bought me reconfigured. I bought my first one back on 2021, but I no longer like or, so I gave it away to an orphanage 😊 - I plan to buy the figures of the series I like combined with the Bluerays or Mangas of that series
Question: What is better. A pop with a Hot Topic sticker or the same exact pop with the "Special Edition" sticker? It seems like there is a difference is price value based on the sticker.
Only really matters if you care for the sticker.
I wish I knew how hard it would have been to sell them for a profit once my collection got to big
Some Funko pop are supet hard to get now sincd they was release like 7 years ago
if i was back in time i was going t tell me "dont get mystery boxes they are not for u.."
and now i am tellling t myself "why dint u take ichigo chase with 90euro...they are not going t reprint it (probably)" :')
Happy Birthday Dante 🎂🥳 mine was on the 26th hope u had a great one
Thank you!
I would turn back time to tell myself to get Hamm instead of Unmasked Kylo Ren (still pains to this day)
Okay
Happy birthday
For the news source i use a discord i’m in which lets me know everything as soon as it’s annoucned
Me looking at the hunter x hunter collection behind you😵💫 ( I picked up half of them in one day)😭
When I first started buying pops?? I should’ve bought so many more of the OGs😭
This is a great video, taught me some things as well 🙏🏾
I’d say,”Don’t buy that Funko pop”
keep the boxes
Great video very useful
Great advice, thankss :)

Try Facebook Groups. There is a group dedicated to boxes. Search of "Funko Pop Boxes" in the group search.
Good to know especially the new comers to Funko, great video 👍 😎
Happy birthday!!
Thank you!
Are there promo codes or coupons.

I only collect funkos that I like, is it bad? Or is the funko line important?
As long as you're enjoying it, that's what matters
Good advice
I’m new to the funko game what are pop digital?
QOTD: Buy all 5 white suit Yelena ms you saw for £5 in The Entertainer in 2020...
Whats the point of these little figures i see them everywhere
I would say to myself"STOP THROWING THEMMMM"
I’d tell myself “Go get Chase Flocked Inosuke before they sell out!”… Collection incomplete without him. 😡😭😂
👌 love this newish im to collecting the fake side of things confuses me so much there's so many that look the same can you do more on this , like I've seen listings were they use actual Funko pictures and say Funko pop vinyl in the brand description but then the price is $20 each for a 10 piece collection so 200 were as I know one of this certain collection is going for $100 🤔
Don't buy common chases for $40-$50 bucks
I am 41yrs old and just started collecting Demon Slayer Funko Pops.
That Funko looks cool but you don’t need it, it’ll start you on a path of spending money $$$ lol 😂
😂 yeah...
When I claim the $10 it doesn’t load on the what not app it says $0
It should automatically load to your first purchase I believe!
@@SkittleRampage ok, thanks for answering man!
@@SkittleRampage it didn’t work but thanks for helping out tho😊 I got some cool pops tho👍
QOTD answer: I wish I coulda told myself to stick with a few sets. Don’t try and collect everything because you’ll run out of money and room on your shelves.
ótimo vídeo cara! Aqui no Brasil as coisas são um pouco diferentes, mas acho daora esse tema...quem sabe eu não faço um parecido
Like local FYE for example
For the question: Keep. The. Boxes.
Keep your pops in protectors no matter what
I watch all video ❤
For the QOTD
Dear god only collect what shows you watch or games you play consistently
If I knew it would become an addiction, I would've never started my collection. I have more than 1,000 Pops. Why!! I don't know what happened to my brain. These Pops are the devil :(
