What I have started doing is rotating my pops on the wall. I'll pull some down to put new ones on, with plans to put some I've put away back on the shelves at some point. These are the pops I don't want to sell/trade but am ok with changing the scenery in my room with every now and then.


We have about 500 and most are in totes . The rotating them on a shelf sounds like a good idea

Agreed and I do the exact same. I occasionally swap and OOB display them. It still keeps me interested in the hobby. :freddy4:

Right now our display has our autographed pops but thinking of doing another section of the wall for pops to be rotated

That’s a great idea. I have some christmas themed pops that I like to rotate in when the season is here! Always makes for a fresh look

I usually keep them organized by set. Also helps keep track of what I need still

Me and the bf bought those 27gal totes, put pops in by set and took pictures. Numbered the tote and made a folder on the laptop with labeled "tote #" and put the pics in there. Makes things easier to know where each pop is at when it's time to sell certain ones or if we're gonna get one autohraphed

Originally they were like that, just put in random boxes so we spent a weekend sorting all that out

Got mine down to about a 100. Used to need to be a completest with certain lines but once I let that go and just went with the ones I love, that changed the game for me.

It definitely was. Also helped us with checklists so we can confirm what we still need

Over the years my wife and I have amassed quite an extensive collection of Funko products. But we never really saw a problem with it until we decided to move cross-country. When I started loading our 16ft rental truck and realized that with all the boxes of Funko loaded, I didn't have room for over half our furniture. That's when we knew we had a problem. So when we got settled in our new place we decided to finally inventory our collection. Over 7500 pieces later we realized we either had to open up our own museum or start to downsize. So to answer your question, yes, we have culled our collection. But it's only out of necessity. We had to decide which genre's we really loved and downsized a bit. Currently we are around 5800 pieces. To which Star Wars (1205 pieces), and Disney (2513 pieces) are the majority.

It is. Luckily we were able to put our pops all in one room but then we realized how many we had and thought about space if we lived in a smaller place

I've culled my collections years ago to pops that I refuse to let go. It's slowly growing but not as much as it used to. I'm very selective on pops now and could care less if a specific line goes unfinished. Collect what you like and you'll always be happy.

Had about 2000+ and had to move out and downsized to about 200. Goodwill took the majority of them, but some of the locations hated the amount that I was donating.
