Thank you for the video, that helps a lot! I cannot BELIEVE that Funko didn't make them with the possibility of the buyer taking them out of the case in mind!
It's because you're not supposed to. Funko doesn't own the rights to marvel toys that's why they're pops are bobbleheads and you put them in the box because they're not toys they're novelties
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. I'd heard horror stories about getting these open, but you carefully showed & explained each step. As a result - my Funko Pop! Albums 08: Motorhead - Ace of Spades "Lemmy" is finally released from his cage. The only hassle was getting the feet off the base - accomplished with hot water and gentle prying with a screwdriver. Perfect result 🤟🙂
i squeezed all four sides as hard as possible, but it still won’t budge. i’m just gonna assume mine is harder to open, since it’s squared (it’s the Britney Spears: Oops!… I Did It Again album funko pop).
he's just gonna be patience and put the screwdriver between the edges and work around it little by little and I'll pop out there's a little clear thingy you have to pop that out once you popped out you start cracking into the edge of slowly adding pressure and I'll pop out easily
Thank you for this video! I had a Sonic 2 Acrylic where Sonic was misaligned with the post to make him flat on the ground (was supposed to connect to his foot but somehow the makers didn’t make sure he was on it). Been driving me nuts for years. Used your trick to open the bottom and align him back straight and glued the bottom back on - good as new!
of course I have is how do you take out the Funko pop out of the black stand ? Can I use a screwdriver to kind of pop it throughout because there's no screw underneath ?
you mention heat but might a going over with a heat gun briefly & obviously not close or heated enough that it melts but maybe just warming it might help to warm the glue a bit & make it easier to pull off?
How is the power slave one? It looks dope… I do the same thing with my ones that are cased. Yesterday I got the moon knight one. I don’t collect pops to flip them for profit so I take them all out of the boxes and set them up on shelves.
this was great thank you. I took off the one of Elektra as Daredevil but since she’s a special one who’s floating and had another base stuck to the back of her head I think imma keep her with the base
I have but she was hard to pop off the base. The two I did both ended up damaging the base. So far dr strange and Captain marvel have been the easiest.
i bought the wrestlemania III posters with Andre the giant and Hulk Hogan and they both have the same poster so it would be much cooler to stick them both in one case together to match the poster image of them side by side. Also, if the pop itself is just super glued on and the superglue is really tight, the easiest trick is stick it in the freezer then take it out, wiggle it a bit, let it warm up, freeze it again and just repeat this until it pops off. super glue becomes more brittle each time you freeze and thaw it.
Actually there’s an alternate way to open it by dropping the thing which will result in the base popping off. After words just unscrew the screw. How do I know this? My little brother might have had an accident…
Thanks. Did it for my Venom. Then once you get the case off, you have to rip the figure from the bottom piece which was easy it was just glued… thanks again
Thanks for the video. I just got the Wolverine comic cover pop. I actually don’t want to open the plastic box. I just wasn’t sure if the shrink wrap comes off till I watched your video. The only reason I want to take the wrap off is because it has air bubbles in it. Have you had that problem on any comic cover pops? Thanks

Glad it helped! And I agree, they didn’t make it easy at all

You can also apply goo gone with a cotton swab, to loosen the adhesive inside.
Thanks for the tip!
really? so what i just put it around and ill come off?
Thank you!! This was very useful with an Ariel with the VHS Cover that was crooked, I was able to put her back, thanks!
So glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching

@@homerogarza3060 you could try soaking it in hot water and see if you can get it to pop off. Some pop right off without the hot water.
you mention heat but might a going over with a heat gun briefly & obviously not close or heated enough that it melts but maybe just warming it might help to warm the glue a bit & make it easier to pull off?
Oh I’m sure that could work. Always worth a try.
I've been looking for a video like this for a long time to open my funko powerslave, thanks, LIKE

Thanks so much! My only problem is getting the pop off the base, the pop is standing on another thing which is fully connected.
Yeah some pop off easily while others are pretty stuck. Putting the base in hot water may help losen it.
Have you done scarlet witch? I’m thinking about ordering another to just pop out the pop.
I have but she was hard to pop off the base. The two I did both ended up damaging the base. So far dr strange and Captain marvel have been the easiest.
Would a heat gun or hair dryer help loosen the glue?
I haven’t tried it myself but worth a try!

Thanks man. You saved my Figure with that tutorial.

😂
Can confirm. Just dropped mine to test and it popped loose.
@@James11111 if you did that on purpose, I respect your courage to do purposefully have done so
@crassons 100% on purpose.
It wasn't a large distance, mind. Maybe only about 2 feet. But still, worked like a charm.
@@James11111 you have my respect for that
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m
Happy that you posted this!
My pleasure! Hope it helps
What if h damage the screw and u can’t unscrew it
@@Goku-u4k1f you could try needle nosed pliers and twist it.
But will a real comic book fit inside? I want to display my own comic and pop inside one
It’s 11.25 x 7 x 3
@@hasbook7156 ok cool i think a modern book will fit thanks 🤘🤠🤘
Thanks. Did it for my Venom. Then once you get the case off, you have to rip the figure from the bottom piece which was easy it was just glued… thanks again
I got my first funko album today , it’s panic at the disco AFYCSO , I love it
How do I remove the box without ripping it
I found that opening up both ends helps, then just carefully try and push it out.
You are a brave soul! I posted the link in the description for my Doc Strange review!
Haha, I’m up to 9 so far 😄. And thanks for sharing!

I’ll be honest I’ve only ever bought them for the customs so I take the wrap right off.
Great video!
Thanks so much!
SUPER helpful! thank you!
boom!!!!!!!!! thankj!!!!
Your not supposed to open it the point is to display with with the plastic and the cover that’s why it’s called funko covers
Well many want to make customs. I’ve made a back to the future and ninja turtles one.
@@hasbook7156 mhm makes sense
i know this video is old but, how did your plastic tab on the bottom just pop right open? mine won’t budge at all
