Error Pops

Postby vtyu221 » Wed Sep 26, 2018 9:45 am

What are your guys thoughts "error pops". Why do some of them have high value? When is it considered "error" and when is it considered a quality control issue?

The only valuable ones were the “error” symbol Batman and Batgirl. The Tywin Lannister wasn’t really an error, I think it was a production change.

I think there's a difference. An error such as the batman reverse color on the symbol adds value because it's almost a variation and its rarity. Same as Daenerys different color dragons error. Something like an arms missing or paint work is horrible doesn't really add value.

Error symbol Batman and Batgirl are popular ones. There's also an error symbol gold Batgirl from the Gamestop Black Friday mystery boxes - that one is a high price error too, probably worth over $200.

I'm thinking of throwing this one up on the bay with a big BIN and see what offers I get. Its a pretty good "error" I think. Not a missing piece or deformity or mistake box. It also appears to be a 1 of 1. I can't find any reports or sales for another. Any ideas what it might be worth?

I saw a posting on Mercari for the box error Purple Rain Pop for $60. The way I rolled my eyes when I saw that posting, I believe I saw the back of my skull.

This is a good one! I've never seen one like that and it's easy to miss if you just glance at it. Not necessarily sure if it will be worth anything anything though but you can try. You might get lucky if you get a Raiders and Matt Ryan fan hahah

I like the error pops because it sometimes makes it feel like it's a chase. The only one I have is Daenerys and the red dragon and I just like that it's a bit unique and different from the one it was supposed to look like.

Non-bobblehead Wolverine pop is another error pop since technically all Marvel Funko pops needs to be bobble.

There’s been a few. Mispelling of Hawkman, the Error hatbox ghosts etc. they are fun. Just a little reminder that everyone is human and once in awhile thisngs slip past quality control. I think the funniest one was the eBay listing of mr. Meseeks with a male “organ” watching the bs bidding on that was hilarious!!

Unfortunately lately there have been more and more “errors”. I think with the amount being released the quality control is just lacking.
