Frequently Asked Questions About POP Collecting

# data[].attributes.body
Q: What do you do with Funko Pops?
A: It's simple, you display them! Enjoy the collectibles by displaying them, looking at them, or even playing with them (not suggested).
Q: Who is Freddy Funko, and why are Pops of him so expensive?
A: Freddy Funko is Funko's mascot. His Pops are worth a lot because they are usually limited exclusives to conventions, Funko HQ, etc.
Q: How does the character of the Pop effect the value of it?
A: Sometimes a character of a Funko Pop has died, quit his/her job, or done something which affected their career. Think about it this way, Stan Lee died (R.I.P Stan Lee). Since he died, Pops of his cameos are worth a lot more than they used to be worth.
Q: How many Funko Pops are there?
A: There are way to many to count! There's thousands of Funko Pops and you could never have them all.
Q: How do you find cheap Funko Pops?
A: There are so many Funko Pops and some of them arn't wanted by anyone. So you can find sale Pops at pretty much every store which they are sold.
Q: Where do you buy Funko Pops?
A: You can buy Funko Pops at comic book stores, Barnes and Noble, Hot Topic, FYE, Box Lunch, Toy Stores (even though their not toys), and many other places.

When you are out hunting for Funko Pops, you always want a good box. Look at the picture below. That's one damaged box! You can easily see if the box is damaged in a store, but damaged boxes can also be a result of shipping. I had once ordered a classic Superman on Amazon and it came in a bag. Shipping tip: NEVER SHIP A POP IN A BAG! Anyways the Superman came completely crushed like this Venom Deadpool. Eventually we shipped our Superman back. You never want a damaged Pop unless you are an out of box (OBO) collector. You can also check the corners of the boxes in stores to insure good box condition.

When you are a Funko collector, many of us look for good and undamaged boxes. Why you ask? Because a good box means a good value. Some collectors go out of box too. See post above for more info on box condition.

Every Wednesday, Funko comes out with a new Funko Pop! Not just any Pop though. A Funko shop exclusive! It may be limited to a certain number or not, but one thing's for sure. They sell out VERY fast! Sometimes, Funko even does random releases that aren't on Wednesday.

First, find what you like! There are Funko Pops of pretty much everything, so start your collection by getting some Pop Figures of your favorite show, movie, game, etc.

There are many apps/websites you can use to track your collection. The best apps though are Pop Price Guide and my personal favorite, Stashpedia! They will tell you your collection value, how many Pops you have, and many other Funko Pops which you don't have.

Some Funko Pops are very rare, and have a limited number made. Some also become "vaulted". This means Funko stops making this figure due to mass production or other reasons. Not all vaulted Pops are rare though. Some Funko Pops can also be rare due to high demand.

When a Comic Con is here, Comic Con exclusives are there too. They are spread out through various stores, and are $15. They are released on the first day of the Con. If you do go to the con, you have a chance to go to the Funko Booth! It has all of the exclusives for that con, but you have to win the booth raffle to enter. Spots are limited.

When you have so many Funko Pops, you need a place to put them. Shelves are the perfect place to display them. Shelves can be expensive, so save up!

There are so many Funko Pops, you can't have them all. Some Funko Pops are cheap, while some are over $1,000! You can walk into a store, such as Gamestop and buy a Pop for about $10.99. But if you go to Ebay, Mericari, or even Facebook, you can buy rare Funko Pops. No matter what, you have to be careful about spending your money.

Funko is ALWAYS coming out with new Funko Pops. There is at least one new release per day! They come up with so many new Pops, it's hard to keep track of them all.
