I’ve been with my gamer husband for many years now, finding him new Christmas and birthday gifts is tough. I feel as though I have already used up my best ideas, and if a new console hasn’t been launched that year then I am STUCK! Funko Pop is a popular line of collectable figures that feature characters from movies, TV shows, comics, and video games. They are beloved by gamers for their unique design and eye-catching colours. Not only are these figures fun to collect, but they also make great gifts for gamers. In this article, we’ll explore the world of Funko Pop and find out why they have become so popular among gamers.

What Makes Funko Pops the Perfect Gaming Collectable & Gift?

These figures have become increasingly popular among gamers and collectors alike, as they provide a fun and unique way to show love for their favourite games. From classic characters to modern favourites, Funko Pops are the perfect gaming collectable and gift. 

They also don’t take up too much room individually, so if the gamer in your life is short on space then introducing a couple of figures from their favourite games won’t take up too much space. That is, until they become collectors.

They can also be stored both in and out of the box, depending on your chosen aesthetic and how much space you have available. There are even special Funko Pop stands and shelves that you can buy.

They can also increase in value. Much like pokemon card prices, the prices of Funko Pops can increase, especially if they are from a limited edition run, or the character becomes more popular due to pop culture and new releases. 

How To Take Care of Your Funko Figures So They Last Longer

As we’ve mentioned, some Funko Pops can increase in value, so caring for your Funko figures is an essential part of collecting them.

Taking the right steps to ensure that they remain in top condition can help them last longer and increase their value over time.

If you’re looking for a general guide to the best ways to care for your Funko Pop Vinyls, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the basics that will keep your Funko Pop Vinyl in good shape:

Keep them out of direct sunlight and heat. The less light they have, the longer they’ll last!

They also don’t like rapid changes in temperature so try not to leave them sitting out on a car dashboard or somewhere else that gets too hot or too cold.

If they’re stored somewhere safe and cool, they should be fine but if their home is in danger of being too hot or too cold they might not last as long.

It should go without saying, but if you store your figures in a bathroom or kitchen then they will be exposed to grease and moisture which could damage them, so keep them away from these areas to keep them looking great.

Be sure to regularly dust off your Funko Pop figures to keep them clean.
