Have you culled your collection?

[SweetNSpicy]

I have not but I have scaled back a lot. My collection blew up very rapidly, with some help from Whatnot. I lost sapce on my countertops first, then a bookshelf, and had to purchase some shelves from Ikea to put my collection on the wall. Now I have a vault of pops where I store pops, my wall, and OOB around the mancave. All together I'd say I have about 700-800 pops.

What I have started doing is rotating my pops on the wall. I'll pull some down to put new ones on, with plans to put some I've put away back on the shelves at some point. These are the pops I don't want to sell/trade but am ok with changing the scenery in my room with every now and then.

We have about 500 and most are in totes . The rotating them on a shelf sounds like a good idea

Agreed and I do the exact same. I occasionally swap and OOB display them. It still keeps me interested in the hobby.

Right now our display has our autographed pops but thinking of doing another section of the wall for pops to be rotated

That’s a great idea. I have some christmas themed pops that I like to rotate in when the season is here! Always makes for a fresh look

[Pryde72]

I’ve tried, but my storage unit full of totes is too overwhelming.

Sounds good. Do you have them based on a theme or certain wave?

I usually keep them organized by set. Also helps keep track of what I need still

That’s cool. As long as you have space. That’s key!

Me and the bf bought those 27gal totes, put pops in by set and took pictures. Numbered the tote and made a folder on the laptop with labeled "tote #" and put the pics in there. Makes things easier to know where each pop is at when it's time to sell certain ones or if we're gonna get one autohraphed

That’s excellent. It’s a lot more organized than me. I just tossed them in totes.

Originally they were like that, just put in random boxes so we spent a weekend sorting all that out

Yea that must have been fun and pretty cool. Hopefully this summer I’ll have some free time to do the same.

[wolfy233]

Got mine down to about a 100. Used to need to be a completest with certain lines but once I let that go and just went with the ones I love, that changed the game for me.

It definitely was. Also helped us with checklists so we can confirm what we still need

[kdmlvr]

I mainly downsized lines that I don't really collect or extras.

Space becomes and issue and i think we all downsize at some point

[LoneWolf72]

Over the years my wife and I have amassed quite an extensive collection of Funko products. But we never really saw a problem with it until we decided to move cross-country. When I started loading our 16ft rental truck and realized that with all the boxes of Funko loaded, I didn't have room for over half our furniture. That's when we knew we had a problem. So when we got settled in our new place we decided to finally inventory our collection. Over 7500 pieces later we realized we either had to open up our own museum or start to downsize. So to answer your question, yes, we have culled our collection. But it's only out of necessity. We had to decide which genre's we really loved and downsized a bit. Currently we are around 5800 pieces. To which Star Wars (1205 pieces), and Disney (2513 pieces) are the majority.

It is. Luckily we were able to put our pops all in one room but then we realized how many we had and thought about space if we lived in a smaller place

[OffTheCHENG]

I've culled my collections years ago to pops that I refuse to let go. It's slowly growing but not as much as it used to. I'm very selective on pops now and could care less if a specific line goes unfinished. Collect what you like and you'll always be happy.

[Justsonice25]

Had about 2000+ and had to move out and downsized to about 200. Goodwill took the majority of them, but some of the locations hated the amount that I was donating.

I would use the Funko app quite frequently to check what I needed. Since I don’t purchase as much anymore I can easily remember off the top of my head.

[BearyAllen]

I have a relatively small collection compared to many here but I have culled as well due to space. The only problem with that is, 'hey look at this extra space, I know the perfect thing to fill it up with'...it's a vicious cycle..

[Mrslimez]

I still buy here and there but nothing has really caught my eye lately. Hopefully con season will change that!

Same. Some sets I'm already at 100% so just have to keep up with new waves

[Warren8525]

I've slowed down on purchases but have yet to cull the collection. I've separated some Pops that I would be okay to part with but haven't actually done anything with them.

[bbauwe01]

Minimally. There were a couple lines I didn’t need so I got rid of them but I wouldn’t consider that culling.

I am trying to be selective in lines I start collect as I have over 1000 pops and I’m running out of space.

I don’t know if I can ever bring myself to cull my collection. Time will tell but I want to be able to pass it down to my kids.

Correct so that means more pops, more space and more

Yeah me too, I slowed down but never it crossed my mind to sell my collections. I did sell most of my duplicates that I have.

[pinklaquer]

I’ve probably donated a few, but my collection is going strong.

I would get much for mine anyhoo. Oob <3

[FunkoEmu]

I have definitely culled most of mine. Now my collection is primarily autographs and G1 Transformers. I love seeing the new molds coming out, and honestly I'm glad there hasn't been any FOMO for me... yet. haha

[Meckdee]

Mine didnt get cut off but didnt really grow at the same speeds it used to. I recently went through the entire collection and reorganized everything trying to trim the fat. It honestly shocked me how many Pops I couldnt seem to part with and how large my collection still remains. At like 300ish currently

I've even traded 2 low end commons for a new common I need

[heymrosario]

A few years ago, my collection's definitely reduced drastically, but kept a few that have some sentimental value and in the area of what I collect. Haven't bought anything recently though, so it's been at a frozen state, which I'm very much fine with

[BobaJames]

Life has culled my collection but I am happy that I am getting back to the way I hope for

That’s pretty good. In the past I’ve made some awful trades. Trades that often haunt me til this very day.

That's happened to me too. I have to really think about it especially with con pops because some of those values drop hard so I never trade for that month

We’ve all made these. Mine have mostly happened at Fundays. I don’t even want to think about a particular proto swap that I once made involving an Office Pop

Unfortunately, it’s a learning curve that we all have to go through. It sucks but we all do it, but I am happy with some of those if not most of the trades I’ve done, but I can say there are some trades that I regret to this day and do the Darth Vader no

I also traded an Anakin Freddy (non-glow, at least) for a Merlin.

Why?

I hadn't watched Clone Wars and was still a prequel-hater at the time.

[FuegoGlorious]

down to 250 now and 100 of those are sodas/mystery minis. crazy how much the collection went down over the last 2 years.

[a99kitten]

Have not culled, but my buying has been cut WAY, WAY down. I simply have no room and my rule has become - if it cannot be displayed properly so I can see and enjoy it - it has to go (or not even be bought!) I have been debating just selling while sets like DC or Marvel. They are so huge. And would rather focus on Star Wars and Disney. But that sounds like such a project I get tired even thinking about it .
