What's The Deal With Funko Pop Stickers? (What Are They & Why Are They Important)

[@SkittleRampage]

Hopefully this gives a better understanding of Funko Pop Stickers! Make sure to leave a like!

[@JonathanFournier]

Thanks for the video! I'm just starting to get more "serious" about Funko collecting now, and am paying more attention to stickers than I had been in the past. This was a great little primer. Question: I recently got Iron Spider 107. I notice that it was originally a Walgreens exclusive, but mine (and many others on eBay, etc.) has no sticker at all. Would that just be attributed to this figure getting a wider release in other stores?

[@lordbulbasaur8894]

I don’t judge sticker collectors at all, but I do worry about people getting taken advantage of. Also, I feel like Funko could really step up their game by improving sticker designs, or maybe even creating tamper evident stickers!

[@SkittleRampage]

They should definitely do the same thing chalice does with their tamper proof stickers.

[@aaravpuri119]

@@SkittleRampage what does chalice do with their tamper protected stickers

[@SpeedHomeAttack]

@@aaravpuri119When trying to remove their sticker it automatically tears itself apart, while leaving residue behind. Also each sticker has a serial number that can be traced on their site, making it impossible to sticker swap and scam people.

Hello i just bought my first vinyl pop her name is Charlotte and she is a glow-in-the-dark and my sticker has special edition is that good just subscribed to your channel just liked your page on fb as I'm new to collecting them

[@Jem_Pops]

I like all the different stickers but unfortunately here in Italy there aren't so many, most of the pops comes with the SE sticker and not with the original one, you can find some official stickers but most of the time only at Conventions. It's sad

[@ali_b_lush2]

I don't really care about the retailer stickers, except it tells me where to find a pop and that I appreciate. I also love the extra identifiers such as glow in the dark and flocked. Sometimes it's not noticable just glancing at the box.

[@milky7439]

Where can you find specialty series funko pops

[@hunchorios289]

I’ll always aim for the cheaper one sticker wise because I just don’t care that a sticker makes it more valuable. It gets annoying tho when the funko app will only have a specific value set for its sticker (stain on the app is 175, that’s the con price, shared ranges from like 65-90 but the app will only let u display the con price if you add to collection) it’s a visibility and clarity thing for me I like to really know what my stuff is worth and I don’t care owning the cheaper sticker but I feel like I get my hopes up payin shared price and seeing con value on the app

[@christiandelgado-fix5953]

Ya I hate how some only show a specific sticker price.

[@starlightunboxing9615]

The only thing I care about with the stickers is, I think the over seas sticker looks bad because it’s on every single exclusive pop even if they are from different retailers that’s what bothers me

[@garransimpson2458]

We get 99% of the funko pops here without the stickers.

[@KincaidtheHedgehog]

Im so glad i could get enmu at retail 14.99 smyths toys a uk retailer has tons for retail im glad i can get con stuff for cheap prices but yur fact i either have to get replacement stickers or pay a little extra another plus is that i can get gamestop excludives galatic exclusives and boxlunch exclusives all in the same store

[@sebasbecerra4887]

I don’t care too much about them, but if I buy a pop that should have one, I’d rather have the correct sticker

[@MF_Clutter]

Back when I first started collecting Funko Pops! in 2012 I use to really care about the stickers. I would have my connection over seas pick me up Funko Pops! From stores we don’t have in the UK. Then I want to say 2018 I just stopped caring, I came to the realisation that I was up paying for a sticker and that I’m collecting Funko Pop’s! not Funko stickers. Too many people become slaves to the stickers on Funko Pops!

[@unranked2016]

Damn, I never really thought about it that way.

[@verdo901]

I have a question about a pop sticker. What is the best way to send you a picture for the question?

[@starlightunboxing9615]

Honestly I like the shared stickers better

[@memester8216]

Glad to see a second part to the collectors guide, and I do agree it is fun to hunt for a pop with the sticker and it does tell a story

[@TheXxjankixX]

Heres my thing. So the Box, UPC, and design (pose) of a Pop that has the official convention exclusive sticker and the shared convention exclusive sticker have no difference whatsoever with one another. They share the same Box, UPC, and design (pose). The only thing that is different is the design of the sticker, right?

[@filipetira-picos2186]

Hello Skittle Rampage, in my country (Portugal) there only exists Special Edition stickers in stores so i dont really care about it. Some colectors do care and buy pops overseas for stupid amounts of money just because of one little sticker... One thing to mention is that the pop no mather the sticker will always be the same (not talking about the chases tho). Some stickers are pretty and all of that and give exclusivity but if you think of that do you really like the pop or the sticker it comes with? Be smart if you like the figure choose the cheapest one you will probably display it out of box. This is only my opinion and i respect those who buy the pop for its sticker so please respect me aswell.

[@voydkid]

Maybe we are second row collectors since we dont have the "official" american stickers on our pops...

[@filipetira-picos2186]

@@voydkid well i consider myself a collector, the pops are official so the sticker doesnt matter

[@v2F1boy]

Hi im new to funko pop collecting and im wondering what does “SE” means on the right hand corner of the box instead of having the number to it?

[@hieinh]

I want to have whatever sticker it originally came from. Con pops depends on the series. If NYCC has hunterxhunter I need con sticker

[@giovanim701]

I had asked about this a little while back on TikTok , Thanks for taking the time to explain .

[@manwellbigboy6295]

I agree with everything you said about the stickers. They provide more of an attachment to the pop.

[@VeryBloodyBaroness]

The rise of fake stickers is what turned me off of really caring about stickers. I'm more interested in having the pop in my collection, than I am paying extra $$$ just for a sticker.

[@Ms._America_]

I didn’t know that the stickers had a purpose until now.

[@purpleraven12171986]

Yeah I'm just a pop collector not a sticker collector I have no problem with shared stickers or Commons without stickers. Now I don't get me wrong if I managed to get an exclusive or a sticker or something I'll definitely take it lol. But I'm not going to go out of my way and spend a huge amount of money for a sticker no. But I do understand the nature of collecting so I don't judge at all.

[@Matthewwithers33]

I have only one pop with a sticker, a shared sticker from 2019 convention shared with books a million on Dave from 2001: a space odyssey

[@jesussantana7088]

All my convention stickers are con sticker none are shared. It holds their value better than the shared and easier to sell if money is needed for an emergency

[@kags817]

I feel the same as you with the stickers. The Pops that I have from NYCC a couple of years ago reminds me of my whole trip there.

[@SolidxSnake909]

Only time i get the special edition sticker if i cant get the the exclusive one

[@SonoftheKing316]

I like the stickers it gives the the pop some flare and gives it exclusivity. Edit: I have the original Asuna #81 I bought her from Hot Topic back in 2016 but I did a sticker swap and put on a replica red HT pre-release sticker on her it looks so much better 😅😅 I'm never selling her so who cares right?

[@crypturon]

It really depends on the person, if you dont mind paying extra $100 for a sticker thats fine its their money anyway. The problem is when you want to sell the pop its harder to sell at a higher price for the sticker. Thats what I see in some of the resellers in my area.

[@unranked2016]

If I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t really mind stickers to much, but I just don’t want the special edition sticker💀

[@elikennedy6934]

I think the same can almost be said about 1st edition and unlimited edition trading cards, there’s thousands of dollars worth of value in difference but no one really complains about that. I think that it’s cool that there’s a difference in value cause of stickers and the people who complain about it? I mean they make the cheaper version without the sticker/shared sticker to appeal to you so why can’t we just all get along? Lol

[@SkittleRampage]

That's a pretty fair point about the cards!

[@jedboings9114]

I love them as a collector it’s just great for a collection

[@DanielJimenez-um5qx]

I like how the stickers differentiate similar funko pops

[@jordan-xl5nx]

Whats better or worth more, exclusive or special edition?

[@nuttybutnice1]

For the most part, I don't care about the stickers. However, though I primarily collect for the art of it, the characters, and nostalgia, etc, I also see it as an investment, so I want the worth in my collection for when I inevitably sell it, or parts of it. In that sense, it bugs me when one sticker is worth significantly more than another when it's the EXACT SAME POP. I feel like it should go back to the way things used to be, to some extent, where certain pops were ONLY accessible at cons, which made them rare. To put out all theses exact same pops with different stickers to say you were there or not seems pointless. If there should be a special reason for attending the events and cons, you should be rewarded with access to special pops that are only available there. That's what makes them rare, interesting, and worth hunting. For example, I have Anti-Venom (the newer one) that just happens to not have the Boxlunch sticker. Because of that, it's worth like half the price as the other...but it's the EXACT SAME figure, just missing the sticker. That seems dumb to me. That's my feeling. In the end, it is what it is.

[@forestlewis4614]

I agree it's about the fun.

[@AAron-du7br]

Dont mind stickers, just find it weird that one pop can have much more value than the same exact one just because of the sticker on the box

[@SkittleRampage]

Definitely is interesting lol

[@ivansosic1897]

I like the stickers but at same time if a pop doesn't have it it's not a huge deal. I got the Sailor moon glitter pop for close to half of because was missing sticker and slight window damage but don't plan on reselling it.

[@519rudy]

What if my sticker is upside down....worth more?

[@itsChanandler]

I understand the sticker thing as I am a Funko collector myself but in the end, I don’t like how it ultimately affected the Funko pop culture.

[@bardock2593]

Love the video! I'm the same, like the value of my collection from what I paid for and the worth of now/could be. I sometimes like certain stickers because of the hunt and wanting that version, giving me a feeling of the rarity of what I have. Also sometimes I only buy certain things I like with sticker or not, as long as I think it looks good.

[@jasonfoley2228]

I never understood the pre-release sticker that would seem very easy to fake with a good sticker

[@SkittleRampage]

It's not, they have to have certain barcodes and the stickers have different print/edges.

I do like the stickers but I'm not fussy about them. If I get my hands on an official sticker, great, if it's shared or a special edition sticker I don't care as long as I got the figure. Im also an in box collector, I just like displaying a huge wall of figures and the box adds a nice display aspect and keeps everything nice and level.

[@brunette_nerdette]

I think however you choose to collect is up to you and there shouldn't be any hate, it's all about having fun. I just see a lot of negativity towards Funko with fake stickers which I don't think is helpful or productive.

[@raineryap4130]

[@psyLien.]

I don't understand the sticker hype at all, I understand the convention values though, those trips can be very expensive. But I personally prefer no stickers on the few characters I collect and I plan to never sell any Funko I buy anyway, so stickers are in the way for me personally.

[@Destinationreached]

Same it’s the same exact pop I pay for the character / rare/ common not the stickers but everyone is different but it just makes sense to pay for the pop then to pay even more for the same pop with a different sticker but iknow “exclusivity” means a lot to people in the collection and I respect that imo it’s not worth it to me

[@ryukaiser630]

Very true, I prefer some stickers over others just so I can have some diversity and add more value to that specific pop, also do you know when ECCC Funko reveals will start?

[@ryukaiser630]

Lol, I didn’t know you just dropped a new video that talks about eccc, thx for always keeping us up to date 🙏

[@TiffanyLecharn]

Now I gotta add my two cents haha. I personally don’t care, I do understand why people care about the stickers tho. I’m more interested in the pop itself then the sticker mainly because I’m just collecting for me. Plus with the exclusive stickers, for me personally,I don’t think its worth it especially because if your buying it second hand your gonna be paying exclusive sticker prices so at the point can you really sell it for a profit? I mean it’s possible however i think it’s more beneficial to purchase pops with exclusive stickers when they first drop,especially if you gonna sell them, if that makes sense. Happy funko hunting 😊

It depends on the sticker for me because if it’s Glow and the SE sticker takes too much space and the original sticker it’s all info in one sticker I prefer the original sticker Example for that is the box lunch exclusive weakened all might or the water dragon Glow Tanjiro Kamado

[@joseaguilera8687]

in my opinion its just a cool factor but if I really want a pop and i cant find the official sticker for a decent price you better believe im buying that se sticker for a fraction of the price.

[@marceldelvalle8855]

I personally like some retailer stickers because some of them go really well with the box art/colors itself (minus the new gamestop sticker, SE sticker and walmart sticker in most cases). Plus, I do go one mini pop hunts time to time and it reminds me when I find that pop out in the wild. The only issue I see with collecting for stickers is people who don’t collect pops for anything but to flip. I have the con and shared stickers for each of the pops I love so I can keep the con ones in box and display the shared out of box. They also look cool since funko does different colors every year for each con. I do have a couple of SE pops whenever I cant wait for the US release but I always end up giving those to a faniky member or friend once I get the retail version or display them somehwere oob. I think that will change with the new SE sticker though because I love the way it looks especially on the new chalice Thor pop. I also like the new sure thing toys sticker as well. Hopefully more retailers can reach that benchmark and land their own exclusives
