Misprinted or Incorrect Funko Pop Box Stickers These errors may be as varied as spelling mistakes, having characters mislabeled, have characters missing, have color errors, or mislabel the type of product – for example stating that an item is a bobble head when it is just a standard rigid vinyl. For an error which might be popular it might become worth while for someone to do a print run of their own boxes but again this is a lot more work than faking the figure itself. On a small scale these are not very easy to forge which makes them a much safer bet when it comes to wanting to collect pop errors, however still not impossible. This is the most common type of error because of how quickly the boxes are printed and run off… Also with graphic design being part of my real world job I know how easy it is for a spelling mistake to slip by. You wouldn’t stop collecting Disney pops if I didn’t like them and said that they were less collectible than something cool like Mad Max! Types of Funko Pop Error Misprinted Funko Pop Boxes Remember what ever YOU want to collect, is collectible to you, so if you find pop errors interesting like I do (a little) then collect them – who cares if other people think they’re not collectible. To put the types of errors in to context and how they can maybe be faked I’ve tried to put them in a few different categories below to help you see what sore of errors there are and whether you find any of them interesting. Check out my post about fake Captain Spaulding pops finding their way on to ebay for an example. If you’re buying an expensive error make sure you know a little about the seller – make sure they’re reputable as forged pop figures are becoming more common as the trend in their sales continues to spiral upwards. But as these figures are not sealed in the box, it is far more likely that someone would change the colour of a batman symbol or a dragon being held by Daenerys to earn a few hundred extra pounds.

With my Tony figure, it is unlikely that some one would go through the trouble of removing the original writing (which is a sticker transfer but all individual letters so not easy to just peel off), and then re-do it upside down to earn a couple of pounds. However because there is a market this does open them up for one big danger, which is forgeries, so be careful. And with some of the more well known errors they do command a much higher price, so there is definitely a market for them!

It’s not very obvious but why not have one which is slightly different to most of the others? It only cost me £5 more and I like it. For example I’ve got a Tony pop from Die Hard where the text on his jumper is upside down. However, it’s not quite as easy as that! If you want to collect pops with errors, go ahead and do so – personally I find them interesting and quirky. A lot of people have asked whether there is an official list of Funko errors, however such a list doesn’t exist and I can see why there wouldn’t be an official one – what sort of company wants to admit to how many times they’ve messed up? However I will list below most of the more common or well known errors which I’ve been able to find documented.Ī lot of people also ask whether they are more collectible or more valuable, to which most people say that it’s a categorical no. The Pop Vinyl world is your oyster.A lot of people talk about funko pops with errors, and with items which are as mass produced as these vinyl figures, it is almost unavoidable that there might be some errors, and some of them are so subtle that it’s fairly easy for them to slip past quality control. If you spot anything you don’t want anymore, go for it. With all that in mind, it’s time to go forth and conquer. eBay has higher fees for selling, but Pop Vinyls tend to sell far more easily there. One cheaper alternative is to list your Pop Vinyls on Gumtree, but you’ll limit your potential audience here and have to deal with constant haggling from interested buyers. eBay will take a final value fee (10% of the sold price for regular users) but it’s a relatively small price to pay for using the website. Once it sells, it’s just a matter of packing it up (in bubblewrap and with newspaper) and sending it off via your local postage service. Make sure you include a detailed description, including of what condition your Pop is in and let buyers know you’ll bubble wrap and package it carefully. The more people see it, the quicker your item will find its forever home.

This will make sure your listing is seen by any fans of WWE, Rey Mysterio, Rare Pop Vinyl collectors and Funko fans - and it’ll also help differentiate your Pop from others in the same line.
