I love my Pops and really don't care about price too much. I just really enjoy collecting Pops. They're crazy fun and seeing your collection grow, that's icing on the cake. I'll definitely starting looking for some bargain pops!
I collect because I like something not because of the value. Some people buy them because they see them aa investment, not strange as you buy something for retail, and often gets to a value over a $100. And yes the Corona money and collectors/ investors are slowly disappearing. These “collectors” are now trying to sell of their collections and want quick money for them. So they sell for below ppg. That is why prices are dropping. Give it a year and that price drop will end and prices will stabilize.
Great Video, all the Sonic pops are Awesome! The Tony the Tiger Jr. Pretty cool too. So many of these pops I've forgotten about, will have to put on my need to get list.
@@Slapshotpops Oh, it looks like it's dying on the vine. I feel bad for those who are heavily-invested. There are pops going for virtually nothing on ebay. 12 dollars and free shipping for 10 inch exclusive pops. Ouch!
Been concerned about funko for awhile. A lot of my line haven't released a new on in a while and that's motu, gi joe, old school transformers so, the only line left us wwe but get video
Great Vid. Loved the Monday Motivation! It’s always a let down when you paid for a collectible and it drastically goes down in value. But the same can apply to Stocks as well. It’s a gamble if you are buying something purely as an investment. As another person said here, but the collectible because you like it, want to add it to your collection to complete a series you are collecting, not for the value alone.
Hi slapshots! It's worth mentioning that Twisty con exclusive was counterfeited so there are a good amount of fakes going around! Great video! Thank you
Luffy has two rides that came out in rhw same year, a few months apart, on top of the poster, and now multiple exclusive with 3 different chases. It's safe to say that not eveyone is going to want/desire to own every variant of him, and might just be happy with one or two of many grails of him. The one piece line has too many chases, not eveyone can collwct them all, and might start accepting not getting some of the ridiculous high prices of the chases.
Lots of great info. i plan on trying to get one of the Bane Pops eventually, We are big Batman fans and I was actually one of the people in the crowd in the Football stadium that Bane blows up in The Dark Knight Rises. Awesome video !
Thanks for this video! I don’t own that many grail in $ value, but I do have pops I love which are in the $30.00 or less and they are grail to me because of the sentimental value.😁🌷🌷🌸💐
Seems like if it’s not Freddy Funko the values aren’t that much on anything. It’s best not 2 pay attention 2 trending values unless ur a reseller & just collect what u like & if it goes up it goes up
To be honest I'm not thrilled about the Thrawn taking as big a hit as it has. Luckily it's still more than what I purchased it at. But still the drop has been much more excessive than I'd like. It's still one of my favorite pops in my collection.
Definitely bittersweet to me. The Luffy and Super Shadow have been on my list, but then I'm a little hesitant because I feel the values going to keep dropping before it ever picks back up. Super Shadow might pick back up once Sonic 3 gets teased, and Luffy might pick up when season 2 comes out but then it'll probably drop again. Both beautiful pop nonetheless
Hey John, what are your thoughts on ahsoka hall h. That pop has dropped significantly in value, at one point as high as 6k. It is currently around 2.2k. Do you think it will continue to come down? Why or why not?
Since I did not have a Thrawn pop, I was very happy with being able to get the new Rebels Thrawn. I like the Rebels boxes and I think this Thrawn is more cool than the Ahsoka Thrawn pop. Thanks for another great and informative video. 👍🏼😃
If you are collecting pops as a form of investment, you have a lot more to worry about than their price dropping lol. This is a hobby plain and simple.
Alot of these are further down than what ppg reflects, ezra is going for 80, super shadow 550ish, thrawn 175ish, i think pops in general are dropping in value unfortunatly
It depends, a lot of the ones on the market selling low are pretty damaged unfortunately. But PPG isn’t spot on, it’s just a guide at the end of the day. I’m fine with values coming down, especially on the rare pops i’m still hunting 🔥
@@Slapshotpops yea but i mean even in the vid you mentioned your supprise at how or why some were dropping, such as the lucky glow, i think alot of people are exiting the hobby and under cutting eachother to make the sale, more sellers less buyers
Monday motivation is a strong one today, it is exciting to see a few pops come back down, I deem a lot of pops out of price range I have only broken the £100 mark once in 9 years of collecting. But to think that some of those out of reach pieces for others may be in reach for them is awesome.
Hmmm I have a good number of pops, i buy pops that represent movies I like, so of if they aren't worth much, I don't care. They are for my amusement, I have saved a number of their boxes, but I don't think very many I own are expensive. 😜
First stock goes up then down ,I guess pop,s are the same , Hay cad bane is he the same as Baines???? I whish they did not kill him in the book of .Bobba fett good bad guy to have around oh well......
I dont think its fair to tell people to buy pops at this point when the market will never go back up and its only headed to beanie baby territory just so ur page can stay up and have something to post. But if people are dumb enough to keep buying pops then they deserve whats coming to them lmao
Anyone who compares Funko to Beanies clearly has no idea what the “market” is or what the “product” even is. You must have been a “collect for value only” collector, and sold them the second a few of your pops went down in value. For someone who thinks they are dumb you sure watch us dumb people talk about them. Feel free to be pessimistic I will take the view 😉
do not buy funko;s for investments. buy them because you like them.
Well I do invest on them and its going good for me.
@@afsarahmedshaon1821for me as well 🤷♂️

I agree it shows the people who collect as an investiment vs the ones who collect for fun.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Andrew 🙌🏻
Dumb comment - most people care about the value of their collectibles. Unless 'of course' you're an imbecile.
can we get a video of your whole funko pop collection
Yes…when we get to our new house! We already had to start packing up our collection unfortunately
I'm glad that I collect what I love and not for monetary reasons.
That’s the best way to do it!
I am playing the long game with Bane!!! Have a number in mind I’m comfortable with and I believe it will get there!
Hey there’s nothing wrong with that! I love my Bane, it’s not going anywhere 😂

Luffy gear 5 will crash the Funko website
We’ll see!
Value only matters if someone will pay its price, pops listed over 600.00 just sit there 'unsold.'
Sometimes yes, but always pay attention to the actual sold listings
yes, it would be awesome when all the 12 pieces freddys are getting cheaper and put on market :P
Ugh I would love that! Bring it on 😂
Great Video, all the Sonic pops are Awesome! The Tony the Tiger Jr. Pretty cool too. So many of these pops I've forgotten about, will have to put on my need to get list.
The day had to come when these things imploded. Sellers on ebay can't give them away.
There’s still lots of value in many of them, don’t you worry

Also happy to have my collection, doesn't change with values dropping.
That’s awesome to hear Chris, I feel the same way!

Anime is their best seller! The force is strong with this one!!!
For sure! We’ll be covering more anime topics and Pops moving into 2024 for you Kris 😁

I’m so glad they dropped the new grand admiral thrawn
A lot of Star Wars collectors are 😃
Great video John, I need to start paying more attention on some of those older Pops that I want to add to my collection 😊
You definitely should Paul!
I think it is a good thing for the funko market. To have pop drop in price so the market does no get stale.
great video.
I agree Arthur! Always good to see things fluctuate
Love your positivity, you keep the Fun in Funko
Thank you!
Hey John, what are your thoughts on ahsoka hall h. That pop has dropped significantly in value, at one point as high as 6k. It is currently around 2.2k. Do you think it will continue to come down? Why or why not?
Great video. I absolutely love these types of videos that talk about strategies towards pop collecting. Keep up the great work Slapshotpops 😊👍

Yup, very true.
i have zero funk pops but there is a few i would like to get, gaming characters.
That's awesome!

inflation and the economy is really hurting collectibles too
Yes absolutely
where did you find freddy xmas for 10$ lol? trying to buy one undr 30$ and cant find any!
Yeah, I think PPG is way off on that one
Funko said they weren't going to do this. I hate Funko for doing this. They want everything to be inclusive, and it shouldn't be that way.
Said they weren’t going to do what?
@@Slapshotpops there weren't going to reproduce the same pops.
Great video John.
Thank you Jason!
I have a Tony but not that one
That’s awesome Sharon 😁
Awesome RUclips video today on your RUclips channel today #slapshotpops.
Thanks Peter!
I like the shirt homie
Thank you!
🔥
🥳
First stock goes up then down ,I guess pop,s are the same ,
Hay cad bane is he the same as Baines???? I whish they did not kill him in the book of .Bobba fett good bad guy to have around oh well......
Yes you can broadly compare pops and collectibles in general to stocks. And I don’t think Cad Bane died in the Book of Boba 😉
