Kobe Bryant "rookie" pop - same pop inside, different box #

Postby maverick22 » Tue Mar 26, 2019 11:04 pm

I see 2 different versions on ebay:
1) purple jersey #8, box #24 that seems to be more expensive
2) purple jersey #8, box #11 that seems to be cheaper

How/why can the pop inside be the same, but the box numbers are different?

The funko app shows choice (1) above with box # 24. Feel safer going with that one.

Thoughts?

I know the jersey #8, box #24 was an exclusive with Bait a couple years ago for SDCC (purchased mine directly). I’m not 100% sure but either the jersey #8, box #11 was another release or is fake. The Kobe jersey #24 came with box #11 and was the first to release with the NBA pop line

Thanks for the info! I’ll go ahead with the one that matches the funko app to be on the safe side!

There was a funny issue with a Lebron james pop too from what i remember. The Lebron’s released at NYCC one year from Toy Tokyo had Miami heat on the back of the box but i think it was a cavaliers Lebron Pop? Can’t remember correctly but i thought it was interesting.

Or it could have been the reversed. Cavaliers box woth a miami heat Lebron pop

LOL I have this one too! it's a Cavaliers front and POP but on the back it says Miami Heat... this was a legitimate box error, quality control has improved. Continuing with my original reply, I'm not sure if the "fixed" boxes are legit or not, but for me I want the original regardless if it had an error or not, at least I know it's coming from the original source.

So hard to keep track of all this information about pops. I remember the days when I used to know all the little tidbits but nowadays it’s almost impossible with so many pops

I think the #24 box is the correct one, this is due to the fact if you check series 3, there is no #24 Pop there.
