However, don't let value dictate your choice – the best collections are those that reflect your personal taste and passion.

 

Section 4: Maintaining and Displaying Your Collection

A big part of the fun is displaying your Funko Pops. Keep them in great condition by displaying them away from direct sunlight and dust.
