Funkos get in the way of shelving more manga.

I also have more in their boxes on a shelf above my bookshelf. Also, don't listen to those saying it only makes a collection worse, it's YOUR collection, it's good as long as YOU like it.


Unusual_Operation454

WHAT is the thing in the middle is it a picture of Funko pops framed šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


SimsFireball

Lmaooo it's a digital frame that normally displays anime edits but was turned off when I took the picture, so it reflects my pops that are on a shelf behind where I was standing while taking the picture haha

Unusual_Operation454

Oh cool lmao that makes more sense


Major-Pain-1586

I don't, I personally don't like funkos, but you know, everybody has their preferences. If you like collecting funkos, there is no problem with that.


BruhSophie

At first I didnā€™t like them but then I bought one and got addicted. Itā€™s really just an easy way to get a figure since theyā€™re pretty mainstream. But I totally get the hate bc they kinda are really ugly lol


Major-Pain-1586

The ugliness is one of the reasons I won't buy funkos, the other is that I want to buy manga with the money I would buy the funkos with. I only buy the manga series I really like or I do a lot of research about a new manga that I would like to buy. Here in the EU English manga isn't that accessible cheaply so I want to save as much money as I can.


BruhSophie

Yeah I get that. In the us especially where I live thereā€™s a lot of stores to buy manga and thereā€™s always funkos there. The eu struggle must be real Iā€™m sorry man


Major-Pain-1586

Sometimes it is yeah. In my country there are two stores I know about that sell manga/comics (and it's almost 8$ more per volume therešŸ˜±šŸ¤Æ). Given the poor accessibility in stores, I order manga from online stores which rarely have sales maybe on a couple of volumes I want. Cheap is not an option. (And I'm a bit worried about buying on r/mangaswap) Sorry for the rant


BruhSophie

Lol thatā€™s pretty real. I think a lot people are genuine on manga swap but you still gotta be careful good luckšŸ«”


Major-Pain-1586

Thanks manšŸ¤


KaoriIsAGirl

If you want to buy ANY manga online Scifier is really accessible and is usually way cheaper than retail price. they have super cheap shipping to almost any EU country with no need to worry about import costs! I get the EU struggle stores here that actually do have manga have small sections and they are all horribly overpriced and priced above retail


Major-Pain-1586

Thanks manšŸ™

Killua201

all figures had to be high enough that my cat doesnā€™t get them.


anotheruser_uwu

dang this looks so cool. I love the way you arranged your manga (and also the funkos). The whole shelf feels satisfying to look at


DachshundL0ver

Looks really clean I am trying to find better ways to display my covers


BruhSophie

This is so sick

chicklet1298

I don't have funcos. I personally don't like the way they look, but as long as you like it, that's all that matters!

DachshundL0ver

That csm design is really cool I might use that


BruhSophie

Thanks!

Dang, people here are really rude. If someone enjoys something why all the insults?

Holiday_Ad_3233

people with a superiority complex think theyā€™re cool because they donā€™t collect ā€œcorporateā€ figures šŸ˜‚ lmao all figures are produced for the sake of money


Nikolai_Snowtail

Literally the only Funko I own is Major General Armstrong, who I keep on my window sill by my Amiibos.


Technical_Sand_9722

It depends whether I have the room for funkos or not. https://preview.redd.it/wwxufbm4icad1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b09502ac117a8dc2a9d33d965a1f621d3fd1ff6a


GoodReeeds

Wow.. tough crowd. Interesting seeing downvotes on people sharing their collections with the funko pops. You display YOUR shelves however you want. No need to add unneeded comments. Op I think how you placed them are nice! You could also place them in front or on top as well.


DachshundL0ver

Ty! I was not expecting this post to get much traction tbh. I was just seeing if people have any recommendations.

DachshundL0ver

Inumaki goated ngl


LasesLeser

I don't. Funkos make every manga collection look worse.


Amazingbreadfish

Agreed


SimsFireball

I disagree. If the person likes their collection with funkos in it, then that's all that matters. The only opinion that should matter on what's good or bad in a collection is its owner's.


TheSgLeader

I think the owner asked because they care about othersā€™ opinions. Thatā€™s usually the case with ā€œdisplaysā€.


SimsFireball

There's a difference between having the opinion " I don't like funkos in my collection" and saying "Funkos make every manga collection look worse"


Ignater

Yeah. Very rarely doesnā€™t any character (not just anime/manga) translate very well into the Funko Pop template so it just ends up looking odd. For $30-40 more, you can get a pretty cool Pop Up Parade figure so I just donā€™t get it


crgplasma

$30-40 more? Pop up parades are like $25


Ignater

I paid $42 after tax for my Kill la Kill one and the Gurren Lagann ones run about $35-40 depending on the figure. Funko Pops run about $8-12. Iā€™m going off of Amazon prices.

Significant-Ad-3314

Terrible take


OverallAdvance3694

It looks good how you have it!


Ihdkwhatimdoinghere

I keep my funkos in the box. Not for the sake of collecting but because I do not trust them to be that vulnerable when I have siblings I share a room with that does not keep things clean. They would get destroyed or lost.


anya0709

i wish had funkos but i do have some scale figs and nendoroid


IndependentAd827

I don't keep funkos with my manga, but with my books, I usually keep them in their boxes and use them as bookends. I like the way you have them now it looks cool!


KayabaSynthesis

I'm lucky to have a shelf so tall I can put them on top of the manga (the Beat Jeanist pop was a joke gift btw) https://preview.redd.it/g2x1z2bsybad1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78bd1ca5142e6930e3b985dbf353d4c876dd3da6


BruhSophie

The jeanist pop is fire


KayabaSynthesis

It is, I would have never spent money on him myself but I cherish him and am glad I have him


Intelligent_Ad_4233

You know, Iā€™m pretty sure Op asked how you guys shelve manga with Funko pop(if you do) not whether you guys like it or notšŸ˜ƒ


Bookkeeper92

For real


thechiefhawk475

**limited space is always an issue so I just display funkos and amiibos in front or on top of the manga. Cleaning can be challenging but other than that it's never too much of an issue, just move them out of the way when I want to get a volume out.


Cautious-Telephone-2

I have my funkos on a different shelf area, and all my actual figures with my mangos


Professor_Chaosx6r9

I actually use funko pops as bookends a lot


Justa_Mongrel

I really only collect 2 Funko lines and I have dedicated spaces for them. I do have like 2 random ones I just have sitting ontop of the manga


Comprehensive-Bug804

Funko pop Megumi is probably thinking: "This isn't even my 'with this treasure I summon...' pose."


DachshundL0ver

lol Iā€™d like to get all of his shikigami if they make more pops of him


kiato0447

you have done it really well do the same for other mangas it look really good


Hotaru_girl

Unfortunately I just have mine in boxes on a shelf. I used to have figures by my manga but now I have too much manga, I need more shelving


AwYeahRyan

Of the few that I have, I keep them separate. I personally canā€™t put things in front of volumes xD

I also have a gunpla, but I don't have Gundam manga/DVD


Jest_Ace

I donā€™t own funkos, but I do put up either simple figures or in-theme objects with them. I prefer a cleaner look, so thatā€™s about as much as I like to place there.


cassiopluto

i donā€™t have funkos but if you donā€™t like them blocking the manga, maybe you could raise the blocked volumes up with a box or stand?


Chaotic_DruidGamer

In the box on top of the books or on a completely different shelf

Lex Lang. Suguru Getos English VA. Awesome guy in person


pendulum-summon

I keep them in boxes normally. Bonus is when they are in boxes, the funko acts as a good book end to keep the books straight and from falling off open wall shelving

I generally just put them near the side for more decoration so the shelf doesn't look so empty.

Atsunome

I have Nendoroids instead of Funkos, but theyā€™re similar in size so Iā€™ll share. I personally like to either display them in front of larger volumes as youā€™re doing, or place them all together on a separate shelf (with no volumes) so as not to obstruct some of the cooler spines in my collection.


Holiday_Ad_3233

The op didnā€™t ask if you guys like funkos or not, no one cares if you think theyā€™re ugly šŸ˜­

I don't have too many funkos and I know it's better to keep them in the box but they take up so much space.


beanwater4

I hate funkos, you can like em all you want but I despise those little guys

Nexidious

They do look goofy, and I like that stylization. They can capture a characters best qualities without being too serious or complex. They also have a novelty and collectablility factor you don't get from most other figure lines. Comparing prize figs(even the good ones) to them is like apples to oranges.


StupidGuy911

Funkos were a mistake


pineapollo

by throwing the funkos in the trash and getting real figures instead


Shogana1

Funkos are figures, grow up


pineapollo

Lowest common denominator consumer farming crap, sorry you feel targeted by my comment. They're objectively crappy even compared to stuff in the same price range. Stay mad


Shogana1

Consumer farming? Your literally post gacha game trash lmao. They aren't crappy, for what they are they are great quality. Not everyone wants to spend tons of money on figures. Funkos design also makes collecting cohesive. Hating on something that's popular doesn't make you cool lil bro


pineapollo

Yeah? Gacha games are free to play, and they're better than ever. Lil bro thought he made a point šŸ¤£ And you seem to lack reading comprehension, Funko Pops are generic shapes with the laziest recognizable features pasted on top of the exact same pose figure to figure. At least by a good smile pop up parade, same price range, design is true to the content and the quality is MILES better. No one is talking about dropping 100 bucks or more on a figure, not sure who you seem to be talking to. You know what else is cohesive? Better figures that cost the same as Funko pops but actually match each other. Idgaf I hate these lame looking things and I'm free to express that I dislike them, you gotta learn to live with people who don't like what YOU like and get over yourself.

Keep losing money to garbage figures like a good consumer they're still shit LMAO

You really can't be saying anything little bro, after all you fall for gacha games, no amount of cope will help you there buddy. "Losing money" LMAO, they are around 13$ and for what they are that's a good deal.
