Sorry, but funko pops are trash. Nendoroids beat funko pops in every aspect other than price, but the quality makes the price justified.
Of course
more customizability makes them 100x better than a funko. most of them are 40-60usd which is 4-6x more expensive but they come with a ton more. also funkos are so ugly and have no detail and their quality control isn't as strict it's a lot more common to find a funko with paint defects than it is to find a nendoroid with one
wouldn’t say they are trash or even bad but nendoroids are just better
amen
@Number 1 Jaguars Fan AKA Number 1 Dame Lillard Fan you're right about that I guess not all funko pops are ugly. wouldn't buy it for myself since I'm not a fan of godzilla and all the other big dinosaur things but if I was I would definitely buy that
I don't think funko pops and nendoroids should be compared really, Funko pops are 10$ basic plainer figures with black eyes ( Not Bad for 10$ of your fav character) while nendoroids are detailed 50-70$ Posable figures with lots of details. I never understand why people in the nendoroid hobby like despise them so much lmao I collect funko pops and nendoroids
Yeah i don't get It either, people that enjoy Funko pops don't expect eccellent quality, they just find them cute and fun to collect. Nendoroid fans need to chill :/
i feel like most of it comes from peoples weaboo mentality of "japan is the best therefore everything they make is the best! westerners are scum!!!". i like both funko pops and nendoroids and i dont understand why people feel the need to bash funko pops so much.
They're not comparable at all. I don't get it either
Funko pops are ugly that's why I don't like them (as a nendo collector). They are also not that cute looking and the designs of funko pops are very vague in the character they are trying to re-create in the funko style.
"I never understand why the nendoroid community despises funkos so much" because most people who collect nendoroids have enough money to support having dozens of them in your collection, so money doesn't matter to them, hence why they don't see the point if paying 10$ for mediocrity when you can spend 5-6-7 times as much for pristine quality.
Me personally, I have over 40 nendo's in my collection and 1 funko pop (Moira from OW). While I don't spend more than I should on nendoroids, I can easily say that even my absolute worst, least favorite nendoroid looks and feels better than 80-90% of funko pops.
most funko pops are kind of terrifying except if they’re of animal characters. i’d rather just save up for a $30-$60 nendoroid than waste $10-$15 on something that may or may not kill me in my sleep
LMFAO YOURE SO RIGHT
$30-$60 FOR A NENDOROID?!?!? What kinda miracle planet are YOU on. I usually buy my nendoroids for $70-$100
As a person that collects both, here's my opinion:
Funko pops have a nice desing to look at, nice box desing so you can collect them inside it, cheap and have a great variety of characters.
Nendoroids look a bit smaller than funko pops, have more customization capability and look cute, realistic and "elegant" at the same time. You can have them interacting with each other and making the most iconic poses. But they are MUCH more expensive.
Nendoroids mostly work with fictional characters, while you can have your favorite celebrities turned into a pop.
But in quality terms, nendoroid are much better. They have an awesome quality and paint job, and also look more realistic (compared to the character) than pops.
POP's look cheaper but still nice, and cost way less than nendoroids.
With the amount of money you need to buy a single nendoroid, you can buy plenty of funkos.
So the question is, quantity or quality? It's really up to you.
In my case, I collect both, personally prefer nendoroids, but I can't always afford them. And pops are nice desk companions and shelf decorations as well.
Thanks for reading!
Really well said. I collect both as well and I feel you on the not having enough cash for nendoroids all the time. Sometimes I just wanna scratch that itch to go buy a figure and funko pops are great for that.
Gotta say nendroids all the way. I dont have any from either since in Argentina you can barely find funkopops and when you do they are really expensive. Still, when you see a funko pop, its clear they are just making items to sell. There's little to no attention to their personalities or details. Nendroids feel like the sculptures actually reasearch who the character is.
the main thing with funko pops i find is that their format does not allow personalities or details since they have souless black eyes and often lacks mouths
"you don't need to buy two nendoroids for one character"
Basic Levi and cleaning Levi: Exist as two different entities
And I'm crying in poverty
All Hatsune Miku variants: "oh tell me more"
Nendoroid are no doubt better but Funko has the accessibility, affordability and variety that Nendoroid just doesn't have. There are so many franchises I would like collectibles for and Funko makes tonnes of them for extremely cheap prices.
I really want a nendroid they look fricking awesome and wanna try stop motion animation with em
Hell yeah they are. The stop motion videos I've seen with them are really well done but I'm definitely not talented enough or have the patience to do it myself haha
@@iBrandad fr that's those are the videos that made me wanna get them in the first place not to mention the quality. Is the articulation on fake nendroids too different from the real ones? Someone near me on Facebook market is selling a few Zelda nendroids
Nendoroid bootlegs look pretty similar to the original more often than not but there are some indicators that give it away. Google the original Nendoroids and compare those to the ones they are selling on the marketplace. Make sure the stickers on the box are the same and the paint job is quality and looks the same as the original. The skin will probably be very shiny if it's a fake and might not have the Good Smile logo on the box. You're more likely to get a fake from Ebay or Amazon if the nendoroid you want is dirt cheap on there and the seller doesn't have great reviews.
Edit: The articulation is a lot worse on the bootlegs compared to real ones. (forgot to mention this lmao)
@@iBrandad thanks for the advice! So I have 2 nendroids now and am going out tomorrow to get two more💀 pls help me
Nendoroid stop motion is amazing, check out Animist's Demon Slayer Nendoroid animations...those are so good
Lol, I’m an Amazon packer and those little tears or bends on the FP boxes usually happen before they even get to us as they are moved around the building sometimes being squished in totes 🙃
I don’t care for Pops but seeing the boxes even a bit scuffed for any figure I see makes me feel bad for the buyer.
Thankfully, a lot of the more popular or exclusive ones are starting to come in a box already or in those thick plastic protectors.
Just preordered my first nendoroids. I’m So happy. Funko just didn’t have appeal to me anymore. I got some pops for some fandoms I feel strongly about but I would never just buy funko pops just to buy them. Like, why do I need Tony the Tiger? I don’t.
I just pre ordered my first nendoriod too! I’m so excited and i totally agree, i have a few very old pops but I’m excited to upgrade to something I’m going to care about a lot more
@@aaylarosee cool. which nendo did you get?
@@LMBOatU my first nendo was Kakashi it was kinda pricy but later on some months I visit cineplex in our locals to watch john wick and I saw a funko pop, it was daemon targaryen and syrax from HOTD I bought them coz they look cute
Nendoroid! The Best! Periodt! 💜💜💜💜💜
I actualy consider buying dio and zero two nendoroid because they look rad as shit :)
What is a periodt
Funko pops are trash.
Bro keep making vids like this, you have a bright future ahead because youre so funny and relatable
That's encouraging to hear since I'm unsure about my content and if it works. So thank you!
@@iBrandad trust me bro just keep making this kind of content in any topic or related in anime
All the jokes made me cry😂 awesome comparison!!
Thanks I appreciate it! It's a long process to make these vids (for me), so I'm glad you enjoyed.
You can find Funko pops in a landfill, that should tell you all you need to know about their quality.
I heard about that. They just make way too many dumb variations and colors of already existing Funko Pops.
I had the biggest fight with my Genji nendroid from Overwatch, I was so pissed, I never touched him ever again 😂
Yeah some of them are just a straight up nightmare to put together. I've had a few close calls breaking pieces and hurting my fingers trying to jam a limb in haha
My first time putting a nenderoid together, I almost scratched a faceplate trying to take it off. Luckily, I had my nails trimmed. On the good news, no marks!!
to reduce a character's eyes to just two black dots makes funko pop a disservice to characters, especially anime characters
funko pop is ok at best
nendoroid forever, baby
bear bricks and KAWS and their price tags can go to the dump site
i did collect funko pops anime lines, but i honestly lost interest when i decided to get them out of the box (oob) because i saw the poor paint job, then at the same time i learn that in nendoroids you can request gsc for replacement if there is a minor paint flaw etc., hence i switched to nendoroids and i can say the price is worth it for the quality and the after market service
This is the stupidest debate of all time, of course the 60 dollar super posable and detailed figure is gonna be better than the $11 purposely simplistic bobble head
Love nendos cause those funko eyes scares me
Well its their thing so uh
Summarizing. the FPs are to make money like crazy (it doesn't mean that the NDRDs don't) but by covering everything you see what matters most to them.
On the other hand, the NDRDs are made with more care and detail, as IBrandad already mentioned. And they are worth their price at all.
I've been having issues with rei from evangelion. Its cool that they're re-releasing her though it kills her value. I'm such a dork. But, I can dig it
Both nendoroid and funko have their own unique features and i respect that
Oh~ Glad I wasn't the only one who had trouble putting Yugi together. XD
Yeah probably the most frustrating nendoroid I've put together so far 😂
I don't have a nendroid but if I had the chance to get one in person I would bc shipping from japan is 10$ so nendroids are more like 60$ and their usually only sold in japan and sometimes in stores for anime collecting dnd retro games stuff like that but I haven't seen one yet but funko pops you can get at WALGREENS so availability is a factor too when choosing
Ive officially switch sides this year to nendoroid.
Sorry but I like nandroids I think they're more detailed then Funko Pops I mean the way they detailed the eyes and a mouth is amazing :) to my opinion 😁
I have only one of each so far but I prefer nendroids just because they look like they have emotions and my one funko stares at me with no emotion like 😶
Not all lol,some of them have emotions
the emoji explains funko pops so well HAHHAHAHAH
The only objective comment I will make about this so-called debate between Funkos and Nendoroids is: Funkos are not in any way worth more than their price tag. It's people who raise these things to a "high-end collectible" category because of scalping, and sometimes a really limited production of a specific character. Other than that they should not be expensive or considered anything more than a cheap plastic figure with some basic detail and portrayal of a popular character/person with black eyes.
funko’s (in my opinion) are decent, but nendoroids are amazing, but funko’s are a better prize range (again my opinion, not that rich) while with some nendoriods, their prizes are too high
detail: funko=nendoriods
articulation: funko>nendoriods
accessories: funko
Price is unfortunately funko > nendo.
I don't think there's a discussion in regards to quality, Nendo's way better, but not everyone can afford even a few of them. Hell, for their price I could just buy an actual Action Figure.
They are both great! One for the collector that's more simplistic and one for the collector that like complex yet small things
I buy my figures to display and enjoy them, I couldn't imagine purchasing based on the possibility of how much I get if I ever sell it. I don't buy them to sell them and that is probably the biggest problem with collectibles in general and why prices are stupid. It's a mould they pour some liquid in and can be produced in limitless quantities.
I’ve quit my 95 funko pop collections thanks!
figure :|
figure, Japan :O
I have an interesting motive to collect *SOME* funkos, and that motive is: I don't actually need to buy them. There's a store next to me that offers one free Funko for every 10 purchases that are either above 13€ or Funkos themselves, so I can keep purchasing regular action figures (and, I believe, even Nendoroids themselves) and only get a Funko when I complete my 10 purchases. Also, considering how there are mini-keychain Funkos that cost less than 7€, I can technically farm points on my card by buying some of those cheap minis whenever I gain some extra money to spare, and since the bonus from filling the card is whatever Funko I want, I can technically get one of those very expensive giant figures by doing this. What's even better is that it seems the price of more expensive purchases is taken into account, considering how I bought a beautiful Rem figure for 26€ and got 2 marks on my card instead of just one.
Funkos are a poor gamer's best friends, especially when I can get them by buying actual good figures (I don't know if they actually sell Nendoroids though, there were some figures that really resembled them, but I can't remember if they are actually nendos).
Shouldn’t even be comparable since Funko Pops retail for $12 and Nendoroids for $60
There’s literally no debate, nedoroid is superior in every single aspect and is way higher quality
Nontheless Funko pop are easier to collect and cheaper
Funko pops are fine at best... But slightly overpriced to their quality. Nendroids are more pricy, but they look waaaaaay better than Funko pop.
Honestly i think certain characters or figures look better as pops rather than nendroids - anime figures look better as nendos and I’d rather pay extra for the quality there, but characters like iron man or post Malone as showed in the vid just look better as pops to me and i prefer the cheaper price for a character i enjoy but wouldn’t pay a nendo price for
Nendoroid are better buuuuuuuuut expensive v_v
your nendoroid collection includes rarest ones... getting envious..
I feel like funko pops are a little better even tho there just figure that can only move there head but nendoroids are complicated to build and pose, I had a nendoroid and its head popped right of when I opened it.
Sorry to say but Fungky pop is a junk 😂 cant be compre to nendo.
@Number one Trailblazers and Jaguars fan good for you if you like it..but its a nehhh for me..
This might be a bit biased since I already enjoy pops, but I feel that they are getting better as time progresses. Seeing pops like Iron Man with the fire coming out is always kinda cool. I also really like the Godzilla vs Kong set. Quite detailed compared to other pops, especially the older one. Nendoroids do look far better in my opinion though. I pre-ordered Lucifer from Helltaker yesterday, so I am excited to see how she compares to the pops in terms of quality.
@Number one Trailblazers and Jaguars fan Sorry but the uninspired Funko cookie cutter mold and dead soulless eyes are just awful. Even good smiles worst nendos look better than any Funko pop. They’re also static and aren’t swappable whatsoever.
I just want my kentucky chicken man
The only funkos I have are for characters that don’t get made often. The alien from Toy Story, gruncle Stan gravity falls, and Morticia Adams. If it’s anime I go for the prize or above figures I do have one nendo
Love it dad
Dude my post Malone funko pop is fucking sick
Coming soon: Nendroid Swacchao add ons to make specific nendroids sit on a chair
$25 USD....for a character in a chair
Lol
But i like it bc its a cheaper way of selling Nendoroids
Boxes and packaging need to be pristine for all types of collectors, Nendoroids, Pops, action figures, dolls, etc. Collectors are very picky. I'm not an in-box collector, so I wouldn't know for myself, but this is what I've seen and noticed with others who are.
Looks like I'm pre ordering my first nendoroid. Getting a nendoroid for Ralsei from Deltarune. I just wanted to make sure nendoroids weren't complete shit for what I'm paying.
Just look at how many variation Sora Funko pop has
Miku: Those are rookie numbers.
1.) I agree, Nendoroids are better than Pops, especially with quality and posability
2.) I agree, Pops and Nendoroids are both cute and I used to collect Pops, but truly, since I'm a doll and toy collector, collecting both Pops and Nendoroids are just too expensive and since I like Nendoroids more, I collect them instead (in case you don't know about doll collecting, dolls are only cheaper than Pops when they are in used and poor conditions, which means most are more expensive: the cheapest are around $30 and the more expensive ones can get up to $2,000 for one doll, so yeah, no room to collect dolls, Nendoroids, Pops, and other toys, so one of my collecting items had to leave the list and it wasn't going to be dolls or Nendoroids)
3.) I hate it when people hate on Funko Pop eyes, honestly, that's what I love SO much about them. They remind me of stuff from my childhood. My childhood was fucked up, so I've always had a bit of a darker mind. I had heard a few times that "Eyes are the window to the soul," so eyes became my favorite facial features, but then I heard references of how people could have black souls, which meant bad people who were evil and cruel. I don't believe in this sort of thing anymore, but it made me reflect on how I viewed my own soul. I was undergoing depression at the time, so I felt empty, like if someone were to look into my eyes, they would find no soul, just darkness. I started drawing images of sad, angry, or scary people who had all their details, looked completely natural, etc. except their faces---always having black eyes. When Funko Pops emerged for the first time, I was a teenager and those darker years were behind me, but seeing them brought me a nastalgia, reminding me of the images I made as a child and the emotions that accompanied them. That's why I like Pops. I never found them cute and adorable, unlike most people who collect them. I liked them for the reason that so many people hate them: they look soulless and almost scary. I can create the emotion I want them to have in my imagination or I can let them remain in the darkness they were created for.
While I collect both( I enjoy collecting both) Funko Pops and Nendroids. I can safely say that Nendroids are better, because thay make Nendroids of my anime waifus!
I like funko pops and nendoroids however nendoroids are in the $100 and above range in Australia
the issue with funko pops is that they are a low range figure that you get what you pay for. they are tolerable at very best. nendriods are more expensive but get an actually good figure for your money
Funko Pops>>>>
Nenodroids are nice enough but waaay to overpriced. I'd rather get bigger and more realistic looking figures for that pricepoint.
Well, their quality is usually worth a price, you have to be really unlucky to get misprint part, and if you do, goodsmile will send you replacement.
I would say that some nendos are slightly overpriced, but that depends on figure by figure case.
if funko pops fix the eyes and not make them terryfying then ill get them
Funko really found the Formula to a good chibi Godzilla figure and now there’s 20 of them and obviously there’s the bigger ones that cost more and it’s just like man 🧍♂️ I want them but at what cost?
Yeah, even if Nendoroid is $40 I’d take it just for the option of changing the pose up every once in a while (I haven’t done that)
the one thing abt nendos is how long it takes to get them since you cant buy them in-store 😭 i just got my first one during thr preorder and its not gonna even be *released* for a good six months
Very important question: are you a JoJo fan or not?
16:39 Yes, that's true. Waiting for the re-release which may never happen :( Even bootleg Nendoroids are also like that! Once they're gone, they're gone!
This is my first time watching you must say enjoyed the video 🤣👌🏾 but won't lie I'm kinda freaked out abit what you said about Amazon because a bro just ordered me a heihachi funko from Amazon 😅😓
Honestly while I do think nendoroids are better in every way than funko pops, I'm more creeped out by the idea of nendoroids staring at me than funko pops. Like I like how they look and they're very beautiful to look at, but I feel so utterly guilty just undressing in my own room because I *feel* the character staring at me. I have to live with the guilt knowing hypnosis mic ramuda has made eye contact with me after I took off my shirt. I will never feel that with a funko.
Nendos are awesome collectables that look adorable.
Funko pops are collecting for the sake of collecting. They're stupid.
Kind of... SAD
i absolutely HATE funkos with some exceptions [ i have catbug ] and really love nendoroids! but oh god the amount of fucking anxiety i get from taking them apart-
this video had be cackling. the straight face jokes where fan-fucking-fantastic
oke wait i need that sharknado funkopop now fuck
Personally I like nendoroid and some funko pops. Because both can fit into the things I like. Like the only funko pops j have are the Hamilton ones and Kyouka Jiro because she slays. And then Nendoroids have like Ace attorney, project sekai (or just miku in general), or other animes.
I didn't even realize that this was a debate-
Rn I own a nendoroid and a funko pop, tho. Both my first of each. 😊
Cosbady: Are you challenge me?
Many nendoroid prices increase dramatically when they are released and it's crazy how a single nendoroid could cost $100-$200😅
I'm sorry for being weird. 😭 I never opened my Lev and Yaku nendoroids because they're my only GSC Exclusives and have the extra part. 😭😭
No debate XD Nendoroid smashes funko trash, especially now that they costs almost the same in Brazil at least
Nendos are cute ❤ love the design :)
There's a master chief nenderoid
Nendoroids look good but they're so small and overpriced, Funko pops have the same quality and are slightly bigger than them (and cheaper). I prefer Funko but that doesn't mean I hate nendos. Some People are just hating on them bc of the eyes smh. But hey, everyone has opinions.
Same quality? Funko Pops are shit compared to Nendoroids which has better details and movable parts.
Very funny and informative video
bruh my best friend only buys funko because she doesn't want to buy expensivd, and I'm like heck no. I bought her a nendoroid of her favorite video game character.
I collect both so I love both, so I don't see a comparison.
I don’t understand why people compare these figures. They are completely in different classes. The price alone separates them. You get what you pay for period
Well, both are considered entry level collectable figures in their respective fandoms.
Nendoroids are more pricy, but when you take into consideration how pricy different anime figures can cost, they are very affordable.
Still not sure why even have that debate.
Without looking at price, nendos win in a landslide, and even while looking at price they're still at advantage.
Funko weren't meant to be great figures, they were meant to be collectible impuls buy. And they're good at being that.
Both of them have completely opposite ideologies behind them, so even if there is a good reason in theory to compare them, they're not good comparison.
I do like funko pops but nendoroids have more customisation movement poses and a few other things but this doesn't mean I hate funko I just prefer nendoroids
Funko pops are trash tbh, the company could probably make better but the style was decided and they keep it because there is someone buying, and he is probably buying it because that's his only choice which is dumb...Nendroids are godlike tier when it comes to quality and looks.
These aren’t the same, you can’t compare them. Some ppl don’t like funko’s simple design, but keep in mind, you get like 5 Funko pop for a single nendoroid. So the price range is insane between these 2… So obviously they don’t share the same quality. 😐
Why were you smelling your sock? Lol
They do movies and games
literally funky pops are so ugly😭 nendoroids all the way
Funko pops are low budget tgen nendoroids i mean i get the that nendoroids are more expensive bc of the hand painted thing and they always have extra parts
Nendoro all the way
I like both but nendriods break bank so...
It's really not a debate. Obviously Nendos are way better, funko is cheap mass-produced trite. But if you want to cheap out on figures I guess funkos count. Although 1 nendo > 5 pops.
The main points:
Want something absolutely hideous but cheap? Funko
Want something tiny, expensive, but a good quality chibi version? Nendoroid.
Funko pop is shit and people only collect them because they are "trendy". I understand the ones who buy one or two of their favorite character and putting them on display. But those who buy a ton and keep them in box are just plain stupid. If you want something cute there is Nendoroid. If you want realism there are plenty of 1:6scale or statue. There are also plenty of Japanese company who make anime figures if you are into those.
Honestly I think a lot of people bought Funko because it is trendy and it is cheap. And given that not all of them can hold their value you most likely just going to sell them dirt cheap or throw them in the trash once you are tired of them.
Nendoroids are better than Funko pops by a long shot, the price is what it is cause of the detail of it
Comparing Funko Pop to Nendoroid is like comparing a Toyota Corolla to a Lamborghini. Sorry let me correct that, it's like comparing a bicycle with training wheels to a Lamborghini.
funko pops dont melt as fast... (dont ask) I still prefer nendos
Apparently, Funko is way more expensive now because what you're paying for is the sticker. What a trashy hobby, right?
Emilia best girl
Funko pop looks possesed
there's no debate, funko pops look like hell. it's nice that they're cheap, but honestly they have no business being so ugly either way?
i love both i only prefer nendoroids for the customization and articulation
Secs is overrated, gimme my nendoroids
