Making Room for POPs

[ch_aeiro]

Yep, same here. My used to be "Entertainment" room turned in to my Pop and collection room. Nothing will make my comic books away because those came before pops and are top on the list but yeah, I get ya!

Hey at least collecting pops is a form of entertainment, so it’s still your “entertainment” room!

Yep, that is true, but I have DVD and Blu Rays, Hahahaha

The trick is to only buy dvds or blu rays that come with pop sets

[tonychen2121]

When I started collecting I never expected how successful Funko would be and how many POPs they would make. We all used to wait months before a release of a handful of new characters. I told myself this would be the perfect collection as it will help keep my collection manageable. Fast forward 8 years and now I find myself clearing out old things in the house to make room for POPs. Who else have found themselves clearing out rooms or redesigning rooms for their collections?

Dont forget to mention buying protector sleeves and cases to protect the Pops. And then if you dont have enough room to display, big plastic storage bins to put the Pops away ans safely store them.

Haha. Yeah, it's crazy I have these cuties ALL over my home! Bedroom, hallway, dining area, closet, garage, bag, purse. I think i should put one in my bathroom...

[geraldlol]

My entire top storage section my closet is filled up with Pops. It's starting to spill out onto my dresser and part of my TV stand. Crazy to see the amount of Pops we've collected if any of you look at early pictures of your collections.

As a former big sneaker collector, that's what I had to clear out first to make room for my Pops.

[JaceCD]

I've run out of room and now I've been putting my Pops in the black & yellow bins that I got from Costco.

[draemar]

unfortunately when i lost my job a couple years ago, i liquidated my pop collection for cash to pay the bills until i was employed again.
I do like the fact that pops are as good as cash as it didn't take long to sell.
The collection isn't back to what it used to be, but it's getting there slowly!

[Kito87]

I recently went home and visited my old room where I still have some stuff and found some SDCC pops from 2011!!! I was so excited I forgot I had them! Hahaha. Now they're with me and I'm running out of space!! I don't want to store them cause that's no fun...

[BulletproofMarsh]

My livingroom and bedroom soon to be my stairway walls. It's so hard to keep up every week new releases at many stores. The 80s nostalgia pieces are a must for me.

[zwahelian]

I have hundreds of Pops in almost every room in my house. Star Wars in my bedroom, DC Heroes in the spare room, WWE/Marvel/Disney/Game of Thrones in my office room, and TV/Movies in my living room. I have a 2nd "family room" filled with even more miscellaneous Pops. I have never considered getting rid of Pops, my only option (to me) is to purchase a bigger home next time

That would be a good way of doing it, but no Batman DVD's have come with Pops.

Between Funko, Sideshow Collect and Hot Toys...I worry about this every day! Lol

[kfk302]

i'm not there yet, but i can see myself dedicating a whole room to funko pops in the future

[tiger99885]

Me and the wife have the second bedroom dedicated to Funko pops. It's full, and they are starting to spill into our bedroom. But it's so worth it.

[Thrillofthehunt]

I have got real creative with shelving! But room is definitely still an issue. Not sure what I'm going to do after this summer con season

[Mizarkie]

Jesus. Idk how manyy pops i need to clear out now. I started with 1 wall of POPS....then 2 then three....now...its all over the place!

Ha ha. I have all my Iron Man Hot Toys in a closet right now. Waiting to clean up more space to eventually display them.

Yeah, I think you can find a POPs all over the house. It's either out displayed and in some cases still in its shipping box, unboxed.

Yep, yep. The pop stack to protect the pop and the Storage box to protect the pop in the pop stack.

Nice! Must be a great feeling to find POPs from 2011!

Great idea. Those black and yellow bins are also stackable.

[tonychen2121]

I have a limited amount of space like most people, I rotate the ones I have on display. I have them stacked two rows deep and I will alter the display with new ones I pick up.

Hmmm. Great concept to rotate displays. Any specific amount of days or months before you rotate?

It’s more on what I buy and how long I want them out. I just completed the stranger things 8 bit set so they are in front. My Harry Potter ones are in front of my walking dead at the moment, just depends

Oh very nice. So no time particular time but just want you like. Very cool.

[sisconda]

Ah I have a similar issue as everyone else. I used to have a mancave where I could collect all my comic stuff + funkos. Now they're all sitting in closets minus the small amount of space on my shelf. There is an extra closet that I'm considering trying to turn into a "display area" but not sure how that'll work out =)

[Suprmike6]

I have all of my Pop!s on the top of my entertainment center and I have room for about 8 more. After that I don't know what I'm going to do

[mizsdiana]

My problem is even though I try to refine and scale down my collection...it keeps getting replaced with more within the line I want to keep....lose 1 pop, gain 5.......

[Grimmsley]

Between me and my roommate our living room is so full of pops,total of 10 shelf’s between us

[JorEl15]

I have a room for pops but with so many coming out I can't keep up with new pops or a display. so now I have decided to cut back my lines so I can actually display the ones I really like.

[anime23]

Sadly my place is too small to display my whole collection. So I have to rotate what gets displayed and the other half of my collection is boxed up.

I feel you there. I was thinking about running shelves just all along the top of my bedroom walls

[Battastic]

Same here
I actually went through and reevaluated what I actually had. Got rid of those impulse buys and narrowed it down to what I actually want. No more buying every Batman because it's Batman kind of thing
Now I am a little more picky about my purchase so that has also helped slow the growth down as well.
Really isn't helping that Funko keeps releasing things I actually want to buy

[JohnnyPOP]

Really isn't helping that Funko keeps releasing things I actually want to buy

The moment I made the decision to only buy things I really liked instead of whatever caught my eye, it felt like Funko decided to start making more of those things

Isn't this the truth.

The benefit of collecting "mostly" exclusive stuff is that the shelves don't fill quite as fast. That being said... you have to have some excess storage somewhere.

[Loki437]

I thought IKEA Detolf’s were the preferred display method for vinyls for the last decade?

[cptuff1969]

I've ran out of room for mine I do a switch out every couple months

[Cmpotter]

Lol we have an entire room just for pops and still don’t have enough space... -.- we are currently looking at homes and we are making sure there’s a large enough toy room hahaha the

That's what I'm trying to stick to, but it's a constant battle to get my hands on these exclusives in the first place.

One version of each is something I'm trying to stick to. And I'm not a fan of unmasked pops so that's another way to cut down my collection. Still though, as mentioned, I have excess storage for the ones I don't have space to display! :embarassed:

[kiptrip]

What bugs me is how deep they are. Unless you're displaying them OOB and even then you have need tiered stands unless you don't mind them being one in front of the other.
