    instead of buying entire collections, just buy the characters you love, doesent matter what franchise it is, just a fun little crossover of your favorite characters throughout various franchises

      That’s what I’m doing frl I already have
      Finn - Adventure Time
      Princess Kenny - South Park
      Tommy - Rugrats
      SpongeBob - SpongeBob
      I’m still hoping to collect more of my favorite characters :3

      Exactly! I personally collect movie characters
      LOTR
      Dune
      Super troopers
      Or variants of a character like venom or green lantern
      And individual pops from things that mean something to me….like ones people get me as gifts because it made them think of me

      That's what I've always done. I didn't realize it was contrary to what other collectors do. 🙃 Maybe my being a cheapskate has advantages.

    Same as any "collectible" Buy what you like BECAUSE you like and enjoy it. Not for resale or future value which for the majority of collectibles is nonexistent. Nothing wrong with buying your favorite characters and having a few dozen at home and work but the people buying thousands of these aew going to wake up one day and ask "why did I spend all that money"

    • @rotciv1577
      @rotciv1577  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Exactly - collect what you enjoy

      Collectors with 1K+ pops astound me.

    Just stumbled upon this video via recommendation, really solid! Another thing that bugs me when it comes to pop collectors, is them getting hostile when you make the mistake of throwing out the boxes of the pops. I am an out of box collector who likes to display my pops on shelves, yet I don't have enough space for the empty boxes that come with them. I used to storage them in my closet, but as my collection began to grow, I didn't have any space left and decided to throw them away ( I was also a kid at the time and didn't know you were suppossed to keep them) . When I mentioned that I did as such various people labelled me as "insane" and a "fake collector" which kind of baffled me, as I buy the pops for the figure inside, not the package it comes with, and I also don't pay attention to the re-sale value as I purchase them for myself and not for re-sale purposes. Of course I'll try to keep the boxes of my next purchases this time around as they can be quite handy, but people throwing a fit over cardboard is a bit much in my opinion.

    I got into funko. but only ever bought stuff I cared for. I have almost all the league of legends funko figures, minis. I have a ton of the Kingdom Hearts pops. never got into it to resell later. just got into it to collect cheap vinyl figures of characters I like.
    sad to hear the company went downhill so hard, and fellow collectors being rude :c

      That's is how we should collect! Collecting for fun is the way to go! So many people just collect to resell later. Sad.
      Thanks for your support on this video!

    I buy the ones i think are cool cuz it's fun. Some people take themselves way too seriously

    I buy pops from Funko Europe and they are packaged the same lame way with carboard sorters ... and they always come good, ALWAYS. No one kicks or punches your box ... USA has poor delivery that's the truth. Sorry US fans but no one delivers badly in Europe. I shop from ebay uk. 99.9% of my orders come nice ... One or two times I got damaged boxes ... but the pop inside was fine ... Most people from UK even ship the pops with protectors.
