Collecting POP figures can be a fantastic hobby for any geek. But as with all collecting activities, certain challenges can arise. In this guide, we go through five common problems that POP figure collectors often encounter and how you can solve them.
1. Storing your figures
One of the most common problems for collectors is how best to store their figures. It is important that your POP figures are in good condition to retain their value over time. A good way to protect your figures is to place them in transparent protective cases.

3. Fake or counterfeit products
Unfortunately, there is a risk of encountering fake POP figures on the market. Always check that the figures come from reliable sources. A figure you can be sure comes from its rightful source is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 POP! Vinyl Figure Groot 9 cm.
4. Limited display space
Having limited display space can be frustrating. One tip is to rotate the figures in an organized way to give all figures their time in the spotlight. You can also explore our Figures & Plush Toys collection for inspiring display ideas.
5. Preserving packaging
For many collectors, the packaging is as important as the figure itself. Try to open the packaging with as little damage as possible. This is especially important if you ever plan to sell or trade your figures in the future.
