My name is Paul Scardino, and I have the largest collection of Funko Pops in the world
0:22
Welcome to my madness. We're going to walk through my collection today
0:29
Now here behind me is the Marvel section of the collection, which is quite a few Pops
0:35
Now this starts the Marvel Cinematic Universe Pops. So all the Marvel movies in sort of an order, starting with the first Avengers
0:43
The really cool thing about the Marvel Pops is that they're all bobbleheads
0:49
Thor Dark World, they finally came out with a Wong Pop. And then moving down is some of the Avengers movies
0:56
The second movie, which was Age of Ultron. And then we move down to Captain America Civil War
1:02
We got to the Falcon, War Machine, Black Panther, the introduction of Spider-Man into the Marvel
1:09
Cinematic Universe. There's this Pop here, and this Pop here, this Hawkeye
1:13
These were the very first two Pops that I ever had. And from there it turned into this, which is crazy, but I'd never heard of Pops before
1:23
I love Marvel stuff. That's how it starts. Guardians of the Galaxy movie and the Black Panther movie
1:30
The Thor movies. So this is from Thor Ragnarok, that had the Hulk in it
1:39
And then the very back shelf is the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and that's
1:43
where all these Groots are from too. So we have Baby Groot, and then he grows up into an adolescent Groot, Groot with an attitude
1:56
So this shelf right here is a recent line that has come out from Marvel called First Appearances
2:03
So these are the actual first appearances in their outfits that the character appeared
2:08
in the comic book. And then moving down, we have a Spider-Man shelf
2:12
This is Spider-Man when he appeared in a Fantastic Four story, and he had the Fantastic Four
2:18
suit on with a bag over his head. These are variant versions and exclusives of some of the Marvel characters, so they're
2:25
just different outfits, different poses, different colors. And this next shelf is the Deadpool shelf
2:33
Deadpool has probably the most pops of himself out of the Marvel line
2:39
The first ten years, kind of the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and they
2:43
came out with a chrome edition of each of the, some of the Marvel characters
2:48
This shelf has Marvel heroes on it, and it's kind of the first pop version of those heroes
2:55
So some of these are a little bit older. And down to the shelf below that, there's some more characters, some more recent characters
3:01
The red versions of the Hulk and She-Hulk. X-Men. This is the X-Men collection, like Professor X and Cyclops and Colossus Storm
3:11
And then next we have another Deadpool shelf. We have Deadpool the Duck
3:17
My favorite of them being the Bob Ross Deadpool version. And the bottom shelf here for the Marvel, these are all the Venomized pops, where they
3:26
take a Marvel character and they Venomize it. It's really cool designs
3:31
The collection wouldn't be complete regarding superheroes unless I had some DC heroes as well
3:36
The DC movies haven't been as enjoyable for me as the Marvel movies, but I still have
3:43
quite a few DC pops. Robin. Batgirl. Supergirl. Superboy. And then on this next shelf, we have some more, some of our more recent characters
3:57
John Constantine, Swan Thing, Batman Beyond. Moving down here, these are variants of some of the DC characters
4:04
This next shelf has more variants of Superman. This is Superman's first appearance
4:11
And one of my favorite shelves is the Batman shelf, and some of them are really campy
4:18
but they're from the comic books. Like this, and this, and that
4:23

Over here, we have some icons that they just recently came out with
15:44

15:51
My favorite WWE character is Bret the Hitman Hart. This section starts the sports pops
16:00
Collected all the different MLB pops that have come out. But specifically, I was excited when this guy came out, Francisco Lindor from the Indians
16:09
And then starts the NBA pops. Ron James when he was on the Miami Heat
16:14
So being from Cleveland, LeBron not being with the Cavs anymore is kind of a sore spot
16:20
But I did still get his Lakers pops. So in this section here, we have the pop rocks
16:28
The rock star pops that they've come out with. From the Beatles to Prince
16:34
So this is more of a pop type shelf. Like with N'Sync and Britney Spears and Justin Bieber
16:42
So now we're in another back room, as if all that wasn't enough
16:46
This is where I keep all the Star Wars pops. On this shelf is all the original Star Wars from the first three movies in the 80s
16:53
And one thing about Star Wars, just like the Marvel, they're all bobbleheads
16:58
And then we have some of the original pops that they came out with for Star Wars
17:02
Like Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and so on. And then moving down, we have the villains
17:09
So starting with Darth Vader and Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Jabba the Hutt
17:14
It's a cool pop. And this third shelf starts some of the variants of the heroes
17:20
So different types of Leias with different outfits, different Luke Skywalkers. Over here we have some more Star Wars
17:26
These are from the most recent movies that they've come out with
17:29
And then the second shelf is from the second movie, where they introduced Porg
17:36
The other newest Star Wars movies, like Rogue One and the Han Solo movie that came out recently
17:45
and some of the villain characters are in the back. And even just recently got some of the Mandalorian TV show, so a couple of Mandalorian pops
17:56
The newest movie that just came out, the third of the new Star Wars movies, these are some
18:00
of the pops from that. I think Funko Pops have become so popular because they capture the essence of our childhoods
18:11
and just some of our most favorite characters. And people are willing to do a lot for the stories that they love and the characters
18:19
that they love. And to have your own character in a collectible version that's cute, it looks like that character
18:30
that's a really good idea
