Are factory error pops worth anything?

Postby **Abbernaffy** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 6:00 am

are pops with factory errors actually worth anything? I just got a spiderman with a missing arm from the factory. not entirely sure if its worth keeping.

Postby **Farinasaur** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 6:43 am

I don't think so.

Where's the "grace" in a one-arm-pop? lol

I wouldn't pay more than the regular price for one.

Postby **zOnesTarX** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:19 am

Nope, me myself wouldn't even want one with an error personally

Postby **cellularSP** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:32 am

It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it

which probably won't be more than the normal price

Postby **xmaldigolax** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:40 am

That is more of a defect than an error. An 01 Batman with the 89 batman logo on it (especially the chase metallic) goes for $200-300 bucks easy on ebay.

Red-Dragon Dany is also a really popular and expensive one, too. But a single pop with one arm? Probably not. I think it'd be more of a matter of whether or not it's a single error or mass. Again, though, it also depends upon interest.

Exactly, its all about supply and demand. In my opinion not worth more than a normal one.

Some people like factory error pops but I personally don't like them. Maybe it just depends how much you wanted it just like the other exclusives and retired pcs.

Postby **estrus** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 3:34 pm

I'd be p***! I'd want a replacement personally, it's a defective item imho

I doubt something like that would be worth anything because it can be replicated by anyone. People would just start sawing off arms and saying it's a factory error.

Postby **bbib7** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 4:36 pm

A few, like the first Batman . The symbol error.

Postby **nikko** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:23 pm

it depends on the error i guess

Postby **JokersWild** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:25 pm

If it's not recognized as an error by funko (dany dragon, batman logo, non bobble Logan) then people generally don't care and its a mistake, not worth anything more to collectors.

Postby **Squird** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:00 pm

A missing arm is a defect, not a factory error. It's trash, return it for one with all it's appendages.

Factory Error Batman, Non-Bobble Logan and Red Dragon Daneyrs are the only ones worth anything.

And stay away from the uber-cynical, Matt's Glow Head Limited Edition Factory Error Deadpool. It was a production mistake, no one knows how many got jacked up and hardly a 'limited edition'. They went back and had a sticker made for it and are trying to sell it for more than it's worth.

What about Jersey Shore Elsa? I think she is a factory error...

Also there is Silver Tywin, think he was switched to gold.

Production changes vs. factory error.

So is there a non-error Glow in the Dark Black and White Deadpool from Matt's?

Postby **TheLastDude** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 11:46 pm

Something like a wrong color or a wrong or missing symbol would be neat...but a missing arm? Newp. I'd take that bad boy back ASAP.

Postby **Bartjeuhh** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 4:49 pm

An arm? Lol, return your Pop. But something like the all-red Deanerys Targaryen, oh goodness, that's for me priceless :O I need it!

Postby **gokou105** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 5:48 pm

Only one I see worth owning is the error symbol batman regular and chase version.

Postby **BossRos** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:53 pm

Batman symbol error was a factory error. It was caught after shipment and then fixed. Becomes more rare with more and more batmen still being made...

One arm spidey or whichever pop is more of a quality assurance error. Not so much as factory error. Its not like they made thousands of one armed spideys and shipped them.

Yup! Couldn't explain it better!

Yup.

There was Black and White and Glow Black and White.

Somewhere along the line, glow heads got stuck on black & white bodies. People started posting pictures and nothing much more was said until Matt stuck a sticker on the box and started calling it a factory error limited edition.

I can't stress how utterly disgusted I am with this 'edition'.

Oh wow, thanks for that information. I don't like what they did with that either. I just need a normal Black & White GITD Deadpool. I'm not into the error production pieces.

However much someone is willing to pay for them...

Also, I just found an Elf of the Shelf missing a hand. Just one hand.

Postby **ballatwork** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 12:07 pm

I have the GITD "Error" Deadpool, the only reason I ordered it was due to the GITD Deadpool's being already sold out.

Postby **Sepharite** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 2:10 pm

There is a Logan funko Vinyl. So it wasn't made to be a bobblehead, that's the only factory error that I have.

Postby **Jubs** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 2:51 pm

How about the Baymax from Amazon that glows blue?

Is yours the entire figure? mine is just it's left arm. I like the blue, an entire blue Baymax would look amazing.

Jersey Shore Elsa? Can someone elaborate?

Large scale: sometimes. Large scale means a whole production run has the same error: yellow symbol batman, red dragon Daenarys.... These are usually considered an "error" by Funko themselves as it's the whole production run with a consistent error.
Single figure with a defect: no. It just means it got past quality control and is simply a flawed figure rather than an "error" one. If a retailer gets one like that in a shipment (missing an part, bad paint job....) and cares about what they put on the shelf they'll generally report it as "damaged" and request an exchange for a new one.

What about a flying Porg with its head turned the wrong direction worth any more or less? Still facing forward just looking to the left instead of right.

I'd say nothing special with that, it's super easy to turn the heads on Pops.

I guess there is no way to have it verified that someone just didn't open one a create an error.

Postby **scholora** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:07 pm

it's funny because protos (unfinished products) are worth a lot. But defects aren't

I suppose anyone can make a defected pop

Postby **Riddler3** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:38 pm

The gold Batgirl from the black Friday box with the error black symbol was admitted by Funko and also worth more compared to regular by around a $200.

What??? You have the limited edition left-facing Porg? There's only ten of those in the world and they were given away at the premiere to the cast of the Last Jedi! How did you ever manage to get a hold of one? That pop is easily worth upwards of 10-thousand!
