The Toughest Funko Decision I've Ever Made

[Scotty]

Like the title says, this was the toughest decision I've made as a collector of Funko. But I finally took my "set them free" mentality to my Bobble Breeze I've been keeping them in the bubble packs because it seemed to be the collector thing to do, but I was having a serious problem displaying them.

With my display space quickly filling up, I made the decision to pull them out of the packaging so they could fit on my last available shelf in my new display cabinets. The only ones I didn't have the heart to open were the three University Bobble Breezes which were never mass produced. Now that they're set up, I'm VERY happy with my decision. I'm not collecting for future value and they look a lot better (to me) displayed free-standing. Guess it's a good thing I'm happy with my decision cuz it's kind of hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube once it's out

And here's the complete set of production Bobble Breezes (some of them are pretty hard to see, but they're there)

That looks great! I'm very much an out of the package advocate so welcome to the club! It frees up so much space and gives so many more options for displaying. Enjoy!

Great display Scott. What's the height on those. Is taller than the mini pops?

[edorice]

I can understand that tough decision. I've been saving all of my Pop boxes and I finally put many of them in the recycler.

[PopCollector]

They look great displayed out of their packaging Scott!

[sevenpop03]

Pushing the button is easy. This was hard

Cool beans Scott. this reminds me I need the batman bobble breeze

[Scotty]

Great display Scott. What's the height on those. Is taller than the mini pops?

they range from around 3-1/2 inches on the short end to 5 inches or so. Additionally, they all bobble, so they're very similar to the mini-Wobblers in size.

Looks great !

[MyLittleFunkos]

Freakin' cool! That area must smell pretty nice

[Scotty]

It actually does smell pretty good. I took the scent disks out of them, but the smell had permeated the vinyl so there's still a lot of air freshening going on.

[kroffty]

Seeing the photo, I agree that you made the perfect decision. It's a decision I could never have made, but the display justifies it. You are a brave and wise man. I tip my citrus, cinnamon, and lemon-scented hat to you.

[hkcrazy88]

Looks awesome Scott! You have more guts than I do, I don't even play with the idea of unboxing any of my Funko!

[bootsy]

looks great! I thought the same thing when i opened mine.

[G_O_Rilla]

You are a stronger man then I, when I get my house and build a display I would think about taking out of boxes...but I don't know if I'd be able to

[TheLastDude]

Very nice collection there Scott. You made the right choice!

[Reverend]

Bravo Bravo Bravo , now we need an encore of the rest of your collection. Absolutely beautiful my friend

[Scotty]

I'm working on it Jacob. My project to install the new cabinets has taken waaaaaaay longer than I wanted. The cabinets are all up and filled to the brim, but I need to do the trim work. And I didn't want to post pics until I got all the Spastik and PoP and artwork put up as well.

[yellowrice]

That a nice collection you have, Scotty! Great decision to take them out.

[Reverend]

Of course it would be unacceptable without the Spastik, good call Scott!

[Justicewarrior88]

Scott these look fantastic!! I love them! I never knew you had so many of them, the collection looks so awesome!! Yay for Out Of Box!!!!

The reason I didn't like these was because the air fresheners didn't smell at all to me. Even from day one.

[Alleycat]

You do what you have to do. I can only imagine how you felt as you opened up the packages for the University BBs.

I have some that I've opened, and others on the cards hanging on a peg board. Same with sitters.

It's all good.

[HiMyNameIsSean]

They look great Scott!!!

[BigM]

Love the collection! I am an out of box displayer but when things are packed and sealed, I can't take them out.

These look great though!

Craig, if you look at the pic in the back on the right you can see that I didn't have the heart to take the University BB's out of their packages--they're the only ones I left in the bubble packs.

Phew! That was close

[Mad4toys1963]

Those look really nice, Scott! Wonderful display. So colorful & cheery...you made a wise choice.

[Queen of Marvel]

Looks awesome! I'm an out of box collector and, sometimes, I've thought I made a mistake. Then, I realized that these are my collectibles and they are going no where. I want to see them, not cardboard. Though, the boxes are pretty awesome!

[tjbhab]

My heart has broken a little . At least the ones that were not mass produced remained whole. I don't know if I will ever be able to do that but I do respect your decision

[Scotty]

My heart has broken a little ...

Well, you are a serious "in the box" collector.

I'm with you Jeanne, I really do like being able to see the whole piece, but I like the look of the Bobble Breeze packaging too. Unfortunately, opening the larger bubble packs does quite a bit of damage to the cards. I was able to save a bunch of the cards which I used as a backdrop on the shelf.
