How To Start A Funko Pop Collection! | The Best Tips & Tricks!

[@paulharper9711]

“Collect what YOU like. Don’t worry about what other people have.” That’s the best advice whether it’s Pops, comics or trading cards.

[@Cayden_soccer_30]

Amen

[@gamingandcraftswithlogan8714]

Been collecting for 3 years and only have 25 funko pops specifically for that reason.

For everything in fact not even just collectibles (I know the video is about collectibles) just wanted to give my insight on experience of doubting my interests due to others interests and or hobbies.

[@misterclawboi1805]

Am I the only one who just likes the box with the pop , it just looks so much cooler with the picture and the box.

[@myratalreja]

Exactly...

[@Chrisplayzlol]

It hurts me deeply when I see somebody open a Funko Pop I feel like I get shot in the stomach I have never opened a popped only when I did it when I didn't know when I was doing

[@jocelyndj14]

@@Chrisplayzlol I know it had been a month but It’s still fine for a collector to open if they’re not planning to sell them.

[@misterclawboi1805]

@Stefano Strambi I totally understand, in the year since this comment I started doing both out of box and in box. Most pops that’s over $30 stays in box for me.

[@thelamator5461]

100%. Just looks so much better in the box. Only time I open them is when I need to check if I got ripped with a fake Pop or if its legit ^^

[@AZCardinals311]

My collection only consists on All Might (Weakened) at the moment. I'm definitely not collecting for value. I want to collect ones that either look cool or I just love the character.

Keep going!

Skittle, I started collecting pops February 2018, when I purchased a Stormtrooper at a store closing record place for $4.00. I looked at it, and that got me hooked in collecting Funko. I was buying everything in sight. On several occasions, I purchased the same pops by accident, like the Beast, Daniel Larusso Cobra Kai, and Billy Idol. It gets crazy. I now have about 250 pops. I now pace myself, due to lack of space and it being very costly. I buy maybe two to three pops a month. I collect Marvel(mainly Spider-Man), DC(mainly Batman and the Joker) Star Wars, rock icons, certain TV shows and movies( that I like)and ad icons.

[@ZenkaiNick]

The budget and pace yourself point is good. I already suffered from it lol I bought my first pop and in less than a month I ended up spending almost 1000 dollars buying a bunch more

[@MsKorianna]

I started collecting about 8 months ago and it started really really small and wanted it to stay that way. I now have 160. That's not even the only thing I collect. I have 350 Barbies. I also collect Starbucks tumblers and tokidoki. And I just ordered my first super janky...

[@MelvinThe123]

Wow!

[@Vison-youtube]

Fr i used to collect Pokémon cards and sports I had cards that were worth thousands and got bored of them sold them for 200

[@shieldhero9268]

I’ve noticed that lately your subscribers are increasing and I’m so happy for you. Lately your content is more interesting compared before and Im really enjoying watching your videos. Keep up the good work and I hope you also explore reviewing other collectibles not only Funko.

[@SkittleRampage]

Thank you! I do plan to bring other types of content as well!

[@jewellchastain4244]

I’d also start off maybe buying your favorite character(my first PoP was actually a Captain America I bought for one of my high school teachers but she wasn’t there the day I was going to give it to her so I kept it)one of my favorite PoPs is the Frost Giant Loki because I love Loki,so my advice is maybe start with your favorite character from whatever fandom and work up from there.

[@markus9641]

I would love a video dedicated to Europeans trying to get into the game. We Don't get these exclusives and import fees are insane.

[@ozziecapetillo8552]

How many do you have now 7 months later. Over 30?

[@gervinrodavia3830]

I'm a new funko pop collector and this really helps me a lot! Especially the tip that says to budget and pace myself. I will now save few bucks then once I have enough that's the time I will buy it. Not because I can afford it means I should buy it. Just like what you said. The fun is when you save and then buy it! Thanks for the tips!! Much love!

[@SkittleRampage]

Glad it could help!

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

My collection actually started with a Suicide Squad Killer Croc Funko my uncle bought me and I've been steadily collecting more ever since. It's cheaper than collecting statues or action figures.

[@Indigowulfchild4]

My first pop was a zombie iron man from What-if n now I have 17 lmao it is indeed very hard not to blow a bunch of money on them cause I absolutely love them all. Thank you for the tips man

[@mawile3037]

Answer: buy things you like with stickers, buy things you like that glow in the dark, if you like wearing shirts 👉 buy the t-bundles lol Buy what you like is an important detail i think people may actually forget, especially if they collect for value

[@Inexistent36]

I don't care for price. I just buy from my fandom

[@chickenplayz6163]

I just buy for the look of them

[@LeahTackles]

My husband and I are not collectors, but we have gotten a few over the years from our favorite fandoms. We don’t keep them mint or save the boxes, though I have for a few special ones. I have subscribed and appreciate your content!

[@AlexisAdrian0621]

I got into collecting Funko Pop’s after watching “Across the Spider Verse”. The wave is one of the best & Spider-Man is my favorite Marvel character of all. I basically get Spider-Man related, mainly LEGO. But recently Funko caught my attention

[@ethanrbutler]

For shelving, search "muscle rack" at Walmart. They are very adjustable and the best part, No sides! You can see the sides of your pops and any behind another

[@sngs9565]

Thank you for that IMPORTANT and PERTINENT advise, "Collect what you LIKE!". Honestly, that is the most important to start collecting whether it is Art, Currency, Coins or Funko Pop. Thank you for the video!

Glad you enjoyed 👏

I have failed at putting a budget, sometimes I just lose control and end up spending all my money on Funkos, but there've been times I've had to cancel orders 'cause I realized it's too much, so far I have 65 funkos in my collection and some 30 on pre orders so maybe I'll make it to end of the year with around 100...

[@itzsjojo]

i had stopped collecting funkos about a couple years ago (the last pop i bought was harley quinn from “the suicide squad) but by me working at gamestop and seeing some cool funkos releasing soon (i.e ghostface, power from chainsaw man, and john wick) i’ve decided to start collecting again 🥰

[@WanderingCheesehead]

What happens is as an adult you start out saying they look dumb and what would you do with them anyway, what a waste of money. Then you see one that means something to you. Maybe it’s your favorite character or it’s from a movie you have fond memories of. There may be a bit of nostalgia or laughter. It makes you smile. So you buy it. Then you start wondering if they make others that resonate with you, and before you know it you’re going to local comic cons looking for that particular one and deciding which ones to choose from your limited budget.

[@nathankent2631]

I’ve been collecting since mid March, love one piece so I’m collecting one piece pops, I’ve got about 25-27 pops, got a couple 6 inch variants, the most I spent was on caeser clown, I spent $200AUD on a preorder, I live in Australia, so I can’t make it to most conventions where exclusive pops are, and I’m on a really tight budget every fortnight, I’ve only got $622 after everything else, so I find it easy to just buy a few, maybe five or six every month works for me

[@muggy5907]

Should have watched this before I started collecting. XD I started collecting early February, it's May now and I now have 117 pops and a lot more are coming.

[@Midgetfidget234]

Thank you for advice

[@tyymello4722]

i started really collecting last summer, I use to buy funko pops when I was younger and I first bought Ryu and didn't even know what funko pops were I just happen to walk into gamestop and saw something I recognized. then I stopped and got into legos for like a couple of years then I watched MHA & Attack on Titan. I wondered if they were made into pops so i went on ebay and the first pop i got was Deku gitd, then I i found out there were all kinds and it took off from there learning about exclusive, stickers, and retailers😄

[@mattyice5503]

I just started collecting Funko's, while I won't get a lot. I am only going to get ones that affiliate with fandoms I currently collect. The only one I want to really have a lot of is halo, it pains me that I wont ever collect them all but I am fine with just getting a majority of the low-end ones. My biggest thing is spotting fake ones, because I would hate to buy some, and they be fake

[@e_unbound6138]

I have always saved up for what I really wanted so this video helped remind me why I started collecting

[@impheratrix]

I have 8 and 2 on the way. 2023 is finally the year that I can afford to collect them casually at least so I'm starting 🙈 One-two a month would be a goal for me.

I live in england too. I ordered my funko pops on Popcultcha. You should too they have everything, well mainly cus I bought all of my naruto pops there since december. Don't buy on amazon as they can be very expensive unless you really don't have a choice and u can't find the pop anywhere. :)

[@Kanata_Satou]

My first attempt at Funko Pop collecting failed miserably,I couldn’t keep a Funko Pop on my collection for more than a month because I kept selling or trading them for other stuff,why? Because I was just collecting because other people collected them so I didn’t have any attachment to them,plus I kept getting characters I barely even cared for,so I stopped for sometime thinking I wasn’t a Funko Pop guy,but then everything changed when I got Tanjiro,then months later I got Hanako-kun,then Itadori and after him things got out of hand,but this time I was actually collecting stuff I truly like and I’m interested in,as a result my collection is mostly Demon Slayer with a few My Hero Academia and very few Marvel,but I’m so happy with my small collection and I wouldn’t trade or sell any of my Pops because they are all characters I like from series I love.
