This Funko Pop Mystery Box from Funky Bop was a Stinker...

[@isabellebergevin]

My choices : 1. Sodas 2. Whatnot grails!

[@TheFunko411]

Thanks for the vote! I’m excited to get a final count and see what wins- going to be a close call!

[@popswiththehoff]

Unfortunately had a very similar experience with Funky Bop. Tried giving them many chances but…decided we’re done with them for the foreseeable future. I’d be curious what mega grails you picked up!

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, I honestly had been putting off buying from them because I knew this is what it would be like from your videos, Poppin Duo, Keetons, etc. but I figured I had to at least give them a shot. Lesson learned lol. I’ll probably try them out one more time just to be completely fair, but then I’m done. Oh, and thanks for the vote on the grail pickups!

[@dannyharris2511]

Always love your videos. Never bought a mystery box and videos like this aren’t gonna make me change lol

[@TheFunko411]

Thanks man I appreciate it. And this is exactly why I do it - I hope that the rankings/dollar results give people some good insight into who to consider buying from and who to avoid.

[@bthe1ulove876]

There’s nothing better than a Pop King Paul Mystery Box 📦 Period 😊

[@TheFunko411]

Hard to argue these days!

[@Professorjosh]

Yes, I haven't been a fan with Funky Bop for awhile, I think a bunch of them where from when Marvel Corps were on clearance (which killed value from some of those) and some of the other pops were from bulk sale from Gemini most likely. Just quality isn't there. I did enjoy their Funko Soda box run a bit ago.

[@TheFunko411]

I had a strong feeling this is what I was going to get with his boxes. Definitely not the style of mystery box that I enjoy opening.

[@chrisb7891]

Got a $100 box last month, it was full of nothing but pops I can get online for super cheap and my “top hit” was also a Seinfeld pop at $20. It’s either top box or bust with these guys

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, there’s really nothing worse than opening a mystery box to find a bunch of Pops that are currently sitting at Target/Walmart/Five Below. And then the real kick in the gut is when the “value” is higher than retail and you don’t even scrape back the cost of the box.

[@kelserjelly581]

Your preconceived notions were spot on. Some of the worst boxes. Inflated PPG and the two times that I got a top hit, they were trashed and near OOB condition.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, my game plan is to give them one more shot, but then I’m done. 👎🏻

[@Almighty_cornholio]

I’m always in the mood to watch other people buy and show off mega grails lol

[@mkpops8766]

😆 true

[@TheFunko411]

Appreciate the vote! It’s going to be a close call.

[@KeeTonsOfFun]

To be honest and fair we kept giving Funky Bop opportunity after opportunity in recent months and this is exactly the kind of boxes we kept getting over and over again, there was also about 5 other channels buying his boxes all around the same time and it was the same thing with them too. Way back when we first started the channel we did pull a top box from him and it was a really great valued box but nothing great since then.

[@TheFunko411]

Yep, 100%! And your videos, along with some from Poppin Duo, were some of the ones I remember watching and thinking, “hmm not sure if I want to buy from that company” lol. Just seems like they buy a lot of new releases and overstock and stick them in their boxes which is kind of why I also slowed down on Mystery Grail.

[@admiralarroyo777]

Whatnot mega grails sounds interesting I would watch that. Also love to see pop hunt

[@TheFunko411]

Thank you for the vote! I’m excited to see what everyone picks.

[@GeorgiaJim1]

Yeah ... I bought from them twice, and ended up like you did - both times. Plus they are all so new! Nothing to say "Oh wow!" about. Learned my lesson. No more from them.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, that’s why I prefer buying from companies who I know are sourcing from collections (like Boomloot/PKP) rather than current retail shelves. I don’t mind getting one or two brand new Pops, but there has to be a balance.

[@GramzDaProperPopper]

That box was so gross. This is why I stopped doing mystery box content

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, I’ve had the feeling lately that opening mystery boxes on the channel sometimes makes it super difficult not to be negative. I feel like I’m much happier and positive when I’m opening sodas, mystery minis, or even just doing random unboxings. It’s just tough because people love watching mystery box content.

[@MichaelJohnson-iv2hy]

Not to harsh in my opinion for what you got you were actually nice about it, it’s refreshing to hear honesty I watch channels not going to name names but are only positive which is fine do your thing, but situations like this you need to call it like it is that’s just absolute garbage. And on top of that good luck trying to sell those pops for what “ppg” says they aren’t pops that anyone wants.

[@TheFunko411]

Thanks man I really appreciate it! For whatever reason, I think there are people who are afraid to offend certain mystery box companies, but if there are a few thousand people who are going to watch this video, it means a lot to me to be as honest as I can and hopefully help people make better decisions about where to buy. And you’re completely right, if PPG says these all were worth $135, I’d be lucky to get $80-90.

[@tammyshowsmerch2024]

My favorite was dory.

[@jeffreymeack6562]

I'm gonna keep my opinion to my self bout funky bop mystery boxes but as far as ur next video would love to see either the hunt video or the whatnot haul

[@TheFunko411]

That was a tease! I want to hear your thoughts. I appreciate the vote for the next video!

[@coryfox9542]

Let’s see those savage pops purchases. I’ve ordered a couple of boxes from funkobop before, you have to get one of the top three boxes. Similar to ralphies.

[@TheFunko411]

Haha yep I’ve got boxes stacked up from Savage that I’ve been saving to open in a video. And totally agree with the comparison to Ralphie’s. Also similar to Nerdy Newt and Templar Pops from back in the day.

[@funkopopssmoked]

Honestly I watch whatever u realease lol

[@TheFunko411]

That means a lot I really appreciate it!

[@Gregheffley-l9h]

Definitely sodas. I love watching the soda videos and without really any new ones coming out lately I miss them.

[@TheFunko411]

Thanks for the vote! Excited to see the final tally!

[@jasonkeener2442]

I've bought a few mystery boxes and I've never hit anything worth the money I spent. Last box I bought was $65 from H1K and my top hit was a Wal-Mart exclusive Shang chi. So that broke me. I taped it back up and threw it in the storage room.

[@TheFunko411]

That’s brutal! Yeah, if it weren’t for me having the channel, I probably would only buy a couple mystery boxes a year. They’re really only worth it if there’s a high guaranteed value and there are good odds at getting a hit that you actually want. Otherwise, usually better to just buy whatever Pop you’re going after.

[@Toro_encartado]

Sad part is i got an exact same box minus strange and dori 😂

[@TheFunko411]

Haha not surprised by that at all 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@octo-gaming1316]

You should order some of poppin off toys final mystery boxes, I hit a mick Foley auto pop from wave 1

[@TheFunko411]

Yes! That’s a great reminder - going to do that now. Thanks!

[@octo-gaming1316]

@@TheFunko411 oh heck yes! Absolutely love poppin off

[@mkpops8766]

Mega grails all day.

[@TheFunko411]

🙌🏻 this would have been my vote too but we shall see what the majority picks.

[@Lonewolf-cc7vg]

Boom loot is the best brother

[@TheFunko411]

Completely agree (as of today 😂)

[@squidgytofu]

Uff, not good. I did like Goose, I think that was the only one I would keep 😅 I would like to see the Sodas video!

[@TheFunko411]

Thanks for the vote! It’s going to be a close call.

[@HORRORHUNTER1031]

Imao mystery boxes are a bad bet and horrible way to collect. You're spending real money for products given fantasy values. PPG has always been over valued. Case in point, found a pop at 5 below had PPG value of $40. PPG is the silent partner of every mystery box company. Buy the pops you want and save yourself money and the frustration is my advise.

[@TheFunko411]

I completely agree. I literally started this channel specifically because I wanted to show that most mystery boxes are a bad bet. The numbers speak for themselves. If I didn’t have the channel, I’d probably buy 1-2 mystery boxes a year. And you hit the nail on the head about PPG being the silent partner of mystery box companies. The companies benefit the most from PPG inaccuracies. They can justify buying collections from people for super low, and then they can turn around and sell at 100% of PPG. It’s like Vegas and they are the house.

[@marypoppins4705]

I would do the Whatnot haul video next. I havent seen anything good really from Funky Bop. We dont buy very many Mystery boxes and dont buy from Funky Bop.

[@TheFunko411]

Thank you for the vote! Yeah, it seems from all the comments I’ve received that a lot of people have been disappointed with Funky Bop mystery boxes. I plan on giving them one more try but then I’ll probably be done with them.

[@3-d_pops559]

Thank you for saying what I've been seeing with others that have opened from them. Next video I'd like to see a soda video again. Thank you

[@TheFunko411]

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback for the next video too!

[@TheManOnDaCouch]

Yea, I've gotten that yev in 2 of their boxes and seen videos of at least 3 people getting it as well! I have a video on my page channel on why Im taking a break from FunkyBop. Also, I have seen many new pops getting pulled multiple times from multiple channels

[@TheFunko411]

Yep, it seems like they put in a lot of retailer exclusives that are overvalued on PPG. It’s a big pet peeve of mine when companies do that. I don’t mind getting a couple newer Pops, but it’s just taking advantage of PPG when they put in a bunch of stuff that’s still sitting on shelves.

[@TheManOnDaCouch]

@TheFunko411 Yup, exactly, lots of filler just to have 1 or 2 grails in the run

[@jeremy.collects]

I was one and done with Funky Bop too. Will not buy again based on that experience and plenty of other videos I've seen. Pretty sure I've seen 20 people pull that Yev. 😅 I think you should do a Soda video.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, it’s crazy how many people have commented saying they got similar boxes. If I were Funko Bop, I’d be very worried about the amount of people who never purchase again. Thanks for the vote for the soda video! It’s going to be a close call.

[@jeremy.collects]

@@TheFunko411 yeah, our box was a similar experience to yours. This was months ago and we actually pulled two of the same Pops. We also didn't get a pictured Pop as stated in the post. I also didn't like when they did a box run with customs as a hit and declared their customs having a $50 ppg. Don't think that's right. Anyways, thanks for the awesome video!!

[@gabrielkelly8150]

I can't see how that first box even made 100 gv even with fluctuations

[@TheFunko411]

Completely agree. Not a great experience. 👎🏻

[@ChristianRay_S]

nah those were absolute trash if i spent $220 on that id be very mad.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, definitely not happy with the poor value especially since it was supposed to be guaranteed value. It’s a good example of how inaccurate PPG values can be abused.

[@toohumble1]

No, you aren't being hard on them. That box didn't meet the value. I don't buy mystery boxes for that reason.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, the value was pretty bad and it was basically all new Pops that are very easy to get. Kind of the worst combo imo lol.

[@DeadzoneCitizen]

Man, those were some tough boxes for sure. I do not think you were being to harsh on them. PPG should not be used for mystery box pricing until they get everything worked out. You could have gotten all those pops shipped to you for a lot less.

[@TheFunko411]

I had a feeling his boxes would be bad, so I held off on buying from him for a long time lol. It’s just a lot of stuff that’s inaccurately priced on PPG that you can still buy in stores.

[@DeadzoneCitizen]

@@TheFunko411 I have a few boxes from them, I also have some boxes from you as well. Maybe I will break them out and do a battle with them. 🤔 Yep I will do that.

[@TheFunko411]

@@DeadzoneCitizenhaha you should!

[@DiamondDoveLove1]

Great video today, but not so nice pops. I think your criticism of that company is spot on. Actually, I think you were a little too kind. Those boxes were pretty much junk, especially for over $200, they should reimburse you something, especially considering they said guaranteed value. Thank you for the video though, and you were definitely right, you were just saying what we all were thinking.

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, there’s always a fine line that I feel like I have to walk on when I do talk about these mystery box companies lol. With this one in particular, the results kind of speak for themselves. If I were watching this video, I’d never want to buy from them lol. For the sake of giving them a second chance, I’m sure I’ll try them one more time, but that will likely be the last time.

[@Yaser5868]

I bought from that company once and that was enough to be convinced not to buy from them again 😄. Never buying from them again even if there was a chance to win GOLD

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, if I didn’t have the channel, then I probably wouldn’t buy from them again. But since I can share the results in a video, I’ll give them one more try before I completely give up lol. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Anything but sodas for me as far as what I want to see. Not only do I not like sodas but can shakers drive me nuts so I just skip soda vids unless they don't have that habit.

[@TheFunko411]

Haha the can shaking is definitely a habit that I am guilty of lol. At this point it’s like a compulsion. I always compare it to shaking dice. I appreciate the vote though - excited to see which one gets the most votes.

[@richardjacobs3395]

That box was such a disappointment. I think you’re being very fair in saying that they are not the best

[@TheFunko411]

Thank you! Definitely not my favorite boxes and was part of the reason why I avoided buying from them for a while. I’ll give em one more shot and that will probably be it for me. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFunko411]

[@scottnelson7506]

Pop king Paul is barley over valued of all of the newer mystery boxes KZbinrs have opened I think they’re all taking advantage of the PPG while they can.

[@TheFunko411]

Mystery box companies benefit the most from PPGs pitfalls that’s for sure. They buy collections for 30% of PPG and then sell it them for 100%. With that said, I prefer buying from companies that I know are actually buying collections, like Boomloot and PKP, rather than buying from places that are just dumping overstock new releases.

[@Rollormotor]

seemed like lame boxes, I cant see how those are guaranteed at $100.00 even if they were a couple months old. the mix was all over the place so you are guaranteed to be disappointed. thanks for sharing

[@TheFunko411]

Yeah, I’m with ya - I can’t see how these would have hit value a few months ago either. This style of box just doesn’t fly. I can’t imagine they are getting a lot of returning customers.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

Man, I don't like to be negative, but these boxes were not great. The Pops you got back for your money are terrible. Blue Eyes Toon Dragon is my favourite today, but honestly 😱😱😱

When it comes to mystery boxes, there are some companies that make it reallyyyyyyy hard not to be negative 😂 But I’m completely with you, these were not great lol.
