Great video Mason! I was thinking of getting into collecting and this really helped me out!

[@Lijm]

Top Pops I really think you needed some tips😂

[@kyll8869]

Yeah Tristan you need some help with collecting!😅

[@wasatchpop]

I'm glad I inspired you 🙌

[@shaun8464]

Omg this is the best🤣🤣🤣

[@spades7463]

Top Pops don’t you already have loads of pops

[@johonnabushiancastillo5904]

Love this video! I had to figure all this out the hard way: googling literally everything. Would love to see more of these!

[@_dub1s1ty_32]

Maaaaan you are awesome! This vid was amazing. Basically dude, I live in a place where pop collecting is not that popular, I began my collection a few months ago when I ordered a Morty pop and got super lucky, bcuz it was a chase. Then I began watching vids, buying and now im hooked! A few days ago I found your channel and maaan was I fascinated. Awesome quality, editing, passion and tips. I was discouraged by the fact that in my country there aren’t a lot of pops, but you hyped me! Now I have 8 pops and I’m looking forward to collecting and watching you, many love❤️

[@Jukithesuzuki]

Thank you, I'm going to a part time job working as a Merchandiser for a company that sells these, great Information!

[@guyguy2061]

Awesome vid!! 👌

[@skinnybuddha74]

Can someone please explain the appeal of these things? I don't understand what's so amazing about them. What do they do? It seems like they are just still figures that don't do anything. Can you even pose them? I don't get it.

[@rickytlatenchi767]

hi wastach pop great vídeo as always

[@jonseptcayaco9718]

is it better too put out of the box or keep them inside

[@dklegendary1]

Great video. If I wasn't collecting already, this might have gotten me interested in Funko Pops.

[@issac_riddle]

Great video mason I think this will be very useful for people try to start a good collection!

[@wasatchpop]

I would hope so!

[@RichPlaysPokemon123]

Awesome info Mason, this is great for new collectors

[@dalequadros2535]

Heyy I need help. Could someone tell me what is a exclusive funko pop? Like what's the difference?

[@engineergaming1972]

Hey sooo I got a funko pop apex legends pathfinder special edition (mostly because I love apex legends) but I just want to know, are special edition pops actually “special”?

[@grantabendroth5797]

it is technically special but not always rare. they are normally like a chase pop but not actually. basically just a new variant of that pop

[@SifddinSurf]

Is they avalible in all world tour

[@dawnfizzle8771]

I am new to collecting pops so im havin fun alredy lol

[@chadrasmussen6127]

Same haha

[@wardor9214]

I will never have a set of any Funko Pop. I only buy ones that i really like. Recently came across the ten inch funko pops and it was Pennwyise from It Chapter 2 and damn it was badass! Have ten inch funko pops been around for long or are they fairly new?

[@BlazingMediic]

Great video pal.. It's great to see you doing other videos with Funko Pop's 😀😀 keep up the great work 😀😀

[@wasatchpop]

Thanks!

[@PopSideshow]

Great coverage of Pop basics! I’d like to see future videos about organizing them, and also strategies you may have for managing the constant influx of new Pops these days (keeping track of forthcoming releases, prioritizing purchases, etc).

[@wasatchpop]

Great suggestions. I'll keep those in mind

[@joshvshke2487]

Nice guide!

[@yuujiminkim]

love his content, such a mellow chill guy idk lol I love it

[@jeremiah6390]

Awesome video!! I know when I started collecting I wish I would of known all of those things. I missed out on some because I thought they were all easy to get haha. I’m still learning from watching you and others. Really great, love the series! Thank you!!

[@sutton6159]

[@FunkoFrenzy]

Great video idea! Your on fire Mason! Keep it up

[@wasatchpop]

Thanks!

[@deadchannel8942]

Thanks I know what they are but I was just collecting them so now I know what to do!

[@g1rldraco7]

You should do a video about getting a good deal on pop protectors. Very informative video loved that you used the different variants :)

[@wasatchpop]

That's a pretty good idea!

[@bzrkfayz2643]

So A chase funko pop is like pokemon shinies?

[@coolguy6285]

Was the intro a GMM reference? Awesome video btw!

[@wasatchpop]

Maybe 😏

[@ryanmcparodys9037]

Should i buy a protector for every one of my pops?

[@wasatchpop]

That's up to you. I don't.

[@robertr9134]

Fantastic video very informative great job as always looks like you'll be needing a bigger icon shelf soon keep them fun times a coming

I agree! It's getting full 😬

Great video for a newbie like me. Mahalo Mason 😍

[@faridanurieva1512]

Thank you!!! Can you do a vid on different types of pops, like dorbs, 5 star, classic pop... Etc. Thank you!

[@AndyC3.0]

What does the number mean in the circle on top of the box ?

[@NK-xn4sl]

im new i guess it might be the code for a certain series?

[@ItsLewisLADC]

Its the number for the pop itself

[@dufrain_media]

My man, you posted this on my birthday! I ended up coming home early from my Mission because I broke my hand falling off a log. I'll go back and finish when I'm through with healing and therapy, but when I get home officially or even if we have time now I'd love to work together on a video or something man! Take care Mason!

[@yeahmarkruffalohuh1312]

Man, retailers are so greedy. In my country pops cost 18-24 dollars.

[@wasatchpop]

That's lame! Why would they overcharge like that?

[@yeahmarkruffalohuh1312]

Wasatch Pop Because greedy retailers.

[@fellu5447]

here they cost like 2-4 euros

[@tatershed1529]

Great information!

Hey bro! Cool vid. I got lucky with the Georgie chase and the Mickey Mouse ones. I'm waiting on the Twinkie pop. Have you gotten anything new? Have a good day! Keep up with the good work!😀

Good luck!

[@jakopop8313]

Hi

[@vuanhpham9903]

Pls do a video about how to spot a fake funko pop

[@p4ul1010]

I would like to know what is the reason to collect this pops? Like what is the reason or objective? Just spending money in something you can’t use?

[@ir6237]

Admiration. A wall decoration of beloved, iconic characters that tell a story of what you grew up loving throughout the years. At least that's MY purpose anyway.

[@p4ul1010]

@@ir6237 thank you for replying, i can somehow see your point

[@ir6237]

@@p4ul1010 No prob. Some hardcore collectors collect them for the sake of showing them off, which is fine but not me. My whole wall is practically a small museum of characters I've loved throughout the years; from Power Rangers to The Office, in chronological order lol. It has meaning and value that shows off my taste and culture, just like any set of framed pictures in a living room or memorabilia that has a story behind it. Neat little hobby I began this year.

[@muhammad66697]

I'm here to know what is ? After black sabbath realsed their first funko pop

[@imthejerryguy]

why is everyone on about these i dont see the hype around them

[@airborn75ranger11b]

All I can see is a lack of personality, everywhere you look is a creation of some company. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

[@woodythegoat5218]

bruh why are you here then💀

[@gildedage5699]

I just started funko pop collecting at sdcc time I overdid it addicted now😔 I definitily have to buy ones you truly love like the ad icons cause I'll be spending a lot of 💸💸💸💸

Yeah, it's pretty sweet

Gracias Amigo 🤙

[@Wondrous_Unicorn]

What do these things do???

[@wasatchpop]

They're collectibles. You collect them!

Hello! I am Michael Superbacker. Are you from Boston?(Red Sox hat) oops just read your profile...... that’s a “no”

[@nonphotogenicerotta9086]

I just came from the squishy community to the Funko Pop community! This video really helped me a lot. The previous community is so much different than the funko community. He priced for squishies were averaged around 20-40 dollars for a piece of foam!!!! Funko are much more cheaper and it this really helps save a lot of money.

[@MonsterDiesel-vh9kx]

I seen the beautiful mountains of wasatch on HGTV the other day it was sick man you live near a gorgeous place. Only reason I know is from your older vid where you went outside and showed the mountains

[@wasatchpop]

Yeah I love the mountains here in Utah!

Can you do a beginners guide series to displays?

[@wasatchpop]

I could try!

[@informediatech-bruno5766]

i like to colect 500 euros bills many many i want them all

[@mak1n]

I think biggest question was unanswered. WHY GET FUNKO POPS?

[@johandc1710]

I don't get it, are these not bobbleheads?

[@wasatchpop]

Oh I guess I should have mentioned that. The only ones that are bobbleheads are the marvel ones. The rest are just regular figures

[@johandc1710]

Wasatch Pop Oh thanks man!

[@Kakimuxu]

And star wars...

[@skinnybuddha74]

I'm confused too. I don't understand the appeal. What do they do, nothing? They just stand there... Are they even posable? They seem awfully boring to me. Someone please explain why people want these things so badly.

[@POSVO]

First

[@stormglass2882]

I still don't know what the hype is or why people collect them. 🤷‍♂️

[@bugle0075]

"Pop" Culture

[@secredeath]

Bruh i still dont knw why these things are popular

[@Samurai5k]

Bruh you ant open it

[@andybratt6022]

No disrespect but could you imagine what people from super poor countries would think if this? Lol. They must think we just have waaay too much money.

My number ONE tip. Take Them Out Of Box Because They Look Better Out Of Box!!!

🤷‍♂️

[@papa_sti0655]

4. If you’re not in the US just give up

[@wasatchpop]

😂... Sad day

[@Wasteman365]

Wasatch Pop lol, nah. It’s just that I want the venom exclusives so bad but there’s no way to get them here without spending exorbitant amounts. Especially when an average pop costs double what it costs you there
