What if - Funko offered a restoration/repaint service for pops?

Imagine the backlog of orders they'd have ... whoa

Omg I don’t want to! Lol it would be terrible

I never check my pops for paint flaws, guess I just don't care. As long as the eyes aren't scratched, anything goes.

I love my pops / wobblers just the way they are . Gives them Character .

That be pretty great, I wish they sold replacement springs.

Bad hairlines sometimes bother me. But not to the point where I would use a repaint service.

If these were $100 figures or statues we were buying then I could see something like this, but for a $10-15 product I don’t think it would logistically make sense.

Been a collector of Star Wars figures from the beginning and plenty of other toys for years and always found some kind of flaw maybe in the paint or a part misplaced in the package, but have never complained too much about these issues. I think we have been hearing it so much more because people are looking for that absolute perfect box or figure inside. I have learned to just enjoy the figure or toy I purchased. All this kind of service will do is open up the grading of Funko products and really destroy the collecting and love of the toys, which it is all about.

This is what I thought of when I read this post...

picture perfect!

[dexiesmom]

I think it’s a good idea but it seems risky. Your piece could damaged in the mail going back and forth in the mail...for a really rare piece I would be too scared to risk it and for a common it would be too expensive to be worth it.

I second that!

It is a cool idea, but like what other people said, it is not feasible for Funko considering the people they will need to hire and how many of the collectors will actually use the services.

agree, (the flaws don't bother me BTW, so maybe I'm a little bias)

I would just leave the pop alone, why restore it? It would be like a custom.

[NCDS]

I don't really see a reason to send them in to be restored. If the paint job bothers someone that much they can just touch it up themselves and call it a custom.

[joecolt]

They would probably make much more in replacing boxes imo

[rexflexall]

I think a majority of them can be left to the amateur, the more difficult stuff to a customizer.

[jarroyo2491]

I would only send them something if the pop was flocked honestly. I seen multiple people having issue cleaning and having a hassle with it.

[funkosundae]

I personally wouldn't do it. Some imperfection is part of the charm.
