Do you buy two of each Pop? One to open and one to save?

[mactds]

Mad respect to that dedication.

[Vteck]

Depending on the line yes but I’ve cut down on that Becuz there is just way too much coming out

[magicalme]

No. I like my Pops safe and sound inside their boxes. I do have a couple pops where I liked them so much that i just had to have 2 of them but they are both in their boxes.
I do admit that they look better out of box - but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

[The Head]

I actually forgot abouty work display so I actually have purchased multiples on purpose for a fair number of pops. I have GoT and dragon displays at work so I have dupes of all of those.

I do often buy multiples to help out others and have gotten stuck with them, but I don't count that since those will be sold or given to TFT eventually.

[kdmlvr]

Wow buying two is some dedication and would take up a lot of room fast

[geraldlol]

If purchasing online and know that I won't have a hard time with returns I'll buy multiples as I am an in box collector and care about the box haha. But other than that and helping out my friends if they need something, not too often.

[Rex Mason]

No Pop hoarding here. I only buy one of each, and rip its box right off!

[Shinfo13]

Back before my fiance and I transitioned to everything OOB, I would buy some dupes here and there but only of characters we truly loved just for display purposes. Now we have no reason for that. We've even tried straying away from buying alot of the lazy variants or chases because there are just too many nowadays

[FunkoMeansFun]

Wouldn't it be cool of Funko sold some pops of the same character 2 in a box with different paint schemes? .

[arakha]

I would if I could afford to I do have a few doubles though. When I first got into pops I didn't keep the boxes, so I had five with no boxes that I ended up buying again. I've bought a few doubles here and there of my favourite characters so I can display one OOB and one in box.

[funkosundae]

Only way I would buy 2 is so I can sell one to offset the cost of the one I'm keeping.

[vhsu16]

I would go bankrupt if I do or my hubby would kill me first

[MONSTER]

I've only bought doubles of the Target Gladiator Hulk pop as I really wanted that one opened as well as one still in the box. All the others are just 1 of each.

[JoeJoe88]

Nah, just one for me. I open all mine anyway except for my chases.

[MarkyMark]

A couple if I can get a good discount. If not just one.

[Clown]

I only buy one of a certain pop. Only pops I’ve contemplated buying a second one is Mayor from NBC because of his two faces and Alien from Toy Story because there’s always more then one! I usually keep them in their boxes unless I’m taking pictures of them for Instagram or displaying them for a holiday decoration.

[gyrofx]

Most of the time, if i can buy 1 i'll buy one. Unless there's a promo or BOGO. If there's nothing else i want, i'll get 2 and maybe give it away or something

[nerdy_jesus13]

I only buy one. I open all of my pops, expect for chases and some personal grail.

[Tovarnico]

Most of the time I only buy one but it does really depend on how much I love the character and the pop for me. If it's one if my favorite I would get one to rock and one to stock!

[FerrisGuy3]

I only buy multiples of ones I really like so I can take one to work to set at my desk. Also have bought two so I can get one signed by someone

[muscleheadfunkopop]

I would buy 2 the 1st couple of years of me collecting. But then suddenly the room that I had my collection started getting smaller. So I stopped doing that. Now if I buy 2...I'm buying 1 for me and the other for a friend.

[jperez702]

On some Funko lines yes, but boy they quickly take up space

[noobie]

No. I like my Pops safe and sound inside their boxes. I do have a couple pops where I liked them so much that i just had to have 2 of them but they are both in their boxes.
I do admit that they look better out of box - but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

I feel the same way

[Dumplingbox]

This question really reminds me of this SNL Star Wars Toy Commercial skit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYyuo7gm-aQ

One to display, one to open, and one for just in case.

[Nooklin]

Sometimes. If I want one for home and one for work, then yes. Or if it is a generic SW character like a trooper and I want multiples anyway. If only we had some rebel troopers.

[Force951]

My wife will buy 2 sometimes because she hates taking them oob, but sometimes loves the pop too much not too.

[Chase Variant]

one to rock and one to stock!

I’ve seen two unboxing videos from Funko in a row where someone’s used this phrase. They’re programming us to buy two!

[Ivette408]

I do when I buy online from toysRus, game stop, Wal-Mart, and Walgreens, just because I know it is not going to be good...

[Rickakatuna]

Oh my word no.

1) ain't got that kinda money
2) ain't got that kinda space
3) OOB for lyfe

Lol I'm there with you. I ain't full oob but to double up would mean sleeping on my pops

[Joser777]

i probably have like 8 or 9 nega scotts 3 ramonas 5 electros 4 lotsos i try to swoop up my favorites as much as i can love the look on them so why not

[Tmarie_82]

Yes...if it’s one I absolutely love

[lilsnoopy714]

I am always curious what my fellow Funko Fanatics collections are like and really enjoy hearing what and how everybody collects.

My question today is this:

Do you buy two of each Pop? One to open and enjoy, and one to save mint in the box for collecting purposes?

depends if i can afford 2 of that same pop

[Chernabog]

I usually will only buy 2 if I insanely like the pop or if it goes to a friend, that's the only occasion

[coopscohen]

I normally buy two if allowed when I order online to give me a better chance of getting a mint box

But never at a store

[Swatrob]

I like having a pop in the box on my shelf and the pipnfigure open in front of it, but that is super expensive. The only one I have like this are when I used to sell collectibles. Any of the damaged boxes I would open and display them in front of their sealed versions. With that said I can’t afford to buy two of each, that’s nuts.

[TenTwoSix]

I normally buy two if allowed when I order online to give me a better chance of getting a mint box

But never at a store

I’m not proud of the this but I’ve ordered 6 online before to get an entire case and guarantee a mint box...

[pampersdelight]

I normally only buy one. The only exception was the My Chemical Romance ones. I bought two of each because theyre my favorite band

[BadEugoogolizer]

Only for a very select few. Only like 10 or less out of 220+

Tron, Gene Belcher (reg & Burger Suit), 4th Doctor, some Fallout power armors, Bender, Tom Servo & Crow

[Grex54]

I'd run out of room very quickly if I bought multiples of each one.

[kappait]

I only have a couple doubles. Has to be a character I really like or someone got me a double. Haha.
