Largest Known Pop Collections?

[lcarus83]

I'm at around 800. I know that's peanuts compared to some collections. I slowed down a lot a year ago or so when I had 700. There's still around 300 on my wish list. And more coming out all the time.

[dtmkyle]

Seen some pretty massive collections in the 5-6 years ive been around. For me personally i got to about 600 then had to make some choices to slim down. Just didnt have the room to display them all

[brooklyn_geek]

Carol one of the old school HOF Funatics has probably got a lot of the people who think their collection is large beat...

She is definitely the Queen of Funko & these are from 4 years ago...

Carol!

My local GameStop has about 200 pops no ones bought in 2 years, that’s the biggest collection I’ve seen

[Popfanatics]

Funko should have a pop museum at HQ with all the pops that exist

This is a great idea!

Wow. How does one display 3500 pops? How many rooms was that?

[volsspongebob]

Cletus is up there. Especially value/grail wise.

I was one house LOL so basically she has one pop in the box behind the common or non chase which is displayed in front then she has a few floor to ceiling curio cabinets with the acrylic risers and the boxes are in storage in her attic

It's wild out of respect for her privacy I will let her post pics if she wants to

That is impressive. I have maybe 100 and am running out of room!

Yes they do take up real estate rather quickly once you start amassing them I have a combo of out of box and in box and have them in one room but need to build more units to contain it all taking a mind of its own

[CaseyJones14]

Carol for sure. There are definitely some amazing collections out there, but Carol was on another level.

No kidding. I am in in box collector so at least I can stack them - out of box is sooooo tough

Yeah these are getting tougher for me to display!

[lcarus83]

Omg these numbers are crazy. Where do role get the space!

I don't have the room . I have a big dresser with 3 stacks 13 high and 13 across. So 507 which I rotate every so often. Then a shelf with 30 on display. Those are the ad icons and Universal Monsters. Then a ton in my closet that I switch out with dresser Pops occasionally. Its a lot but I have a good system. Im about to sell 100 or so and buy a few hundred more.

[HockeyDad]

Mine I have over 1,600 Pops

Uh ... we're over 2000 now buddy
Even though we've been "slimming down" ... the new Disney and Star Wars keep causing us to get bigger.

Funko should have a pop museum at HQ with all the pops that exist

Funko does not retain one of everything they make, they never have. There have been so many very limited runs such as LE24's and LE12's that are in permanent homes and never come up for sale (or if they do the prices are extravagant) that putting together a complete collection of Pops would be an extremely difficult task indeed. And then there's Carol's 1:1 Freddy. I stop just short of saying it's "impossible", but it probably is impossible. It would take some VERY generous Pop donations from old-school collectors to make it happen.

[sdcccrasher]

Carol is #1!

[Xenomorph]

Some pretty crazy numbers in here. I'm not sure how you have a collection that big and it doesn't just take over your entire house. Or maybe it does and they don't care?

Do you really believe that with the LE12 and LE24 that they really only made that number? I don't buy it. I say they make a few extra for the company to keep or give away to people they deem important.

and Carol is not even the only one that has a custom Freddy. Funkystark got some for his wedding so to get everything would be impossible and by everything I mean inbox of all Pop release and all protos

[theoneupper02]

I saw some funatic of the year featured that had at least 20K plus. And I don't think she claimed to have the largest collection.

There are enough serious collectors here that it's pretty easy to track such things and indications are that the numbers on the boxes are accurate. No legitimate "extras" have ever been known to surface.

[deetran24]

Carol Lamb I bet

You're right I remember watching comic book men and how they go to the pez company and how they show a museum of there pez, but you are so right it be so hard to get a hold of those pieces, maybe a photo of rare pieces or even have the collector loan the museum the piece we can only dream

A pop museum with really rare pops would be awesom

WOW!!

[Thehueys]

I'd put money on Carol (ShoMeNodder) for sure. She even has a 1/1 piece made by Funko just for her as reward for her awesomeness.
She was named collector of the decade and the Pop tells the story.

Wow.... this may be the coolest pop ive ever seen.

Before I went to HQ for the first time I expected there to be a full Funko museum. I bet it gets made at some point! I cant even imagine some of the stuff chilling in the back for random releases.

A museum would be like the craziest pop display ever. I really hope that becomes a thing someday.

[zaghawk]

What Hobie said.

I will say one interesting thing is a few years ago, seeing someone with a wall of POPs or hearing someone had a hundred or several hundred POPs used to be pretty wild (especially if they passed a thousand). It's crazy to think these days it's pretty common at least among Funko collectors to see the walls and hear numbers in the hundreds or even above thousand. Just kind of shows you how large the fan base continues to grow.

It’d be amazing if they had “could have beens” like ones they made scaups for but decided not to put them out
