My name is Paul Scardino, also known in the Funko world as The Popthusiast, and I just

We're going to take a look at the collection now. See here in this first shelf we have a bunch of Naruto, Sailor Moon, a bunch of Rick and Morty

4:36
there, but this is mainly James Bond. Then we have some Jurassic Park, original Jurassic Park scenes

5:42
So there's two shelves of video games. The gelatinous cube from Dungeons and Dragons, there's two of them
5:49
So this one has an arrow and the person's kind of sticking their arm out of there
5:53
This is really amazing that they made this into a pop and it came out really well
5:57
A whole set of Pac-Man back there, Five Nights at Freddy's, and a bunch of Fortnite as well
6:06
So behind me is another video game shelf. So this one has all the Pokemon pops on it
6:10
So this is almost a complete set. It's all like the Hedgehog and Mega Man
6:14
There are a bunch of Crash Bandicoot pops, Spyro, Resident Evil. And then on the other side of the DC and video game pops, we have the Marvel Comics pops
6:23
So the first couple shelves here are the comic book versions of characters
6:27
Then as you go down, there's the movie MCU. Some gingerbread Marvel people in the back
6:34
And one of the newer ones is Wolverine with the Bahambug sign
6:39
And then we move into the MCU, so the movies. So they're in order from the first Captain America movie through Avengers and they kind
6:47
of come all the way down. Yes, that's a life-size baby group
6:54
This character was just ridiculous in the movie MODOK and how they made him into MODOK
7:00
which is very much different than a comic book. This looks like the guy from the movie
7:05
Now one of my favorite pops on this side of the room is from Thor Love and Thunder
7:12
It's Thor in the Goat Boat. So this whole wall here, all the way down to the right are my sports pops to include

7:44
We have a line of what they have deemed just icons, JFK and Reagan having their own pop
7:50
We're on the other side of the basement and so this is the Star Wars shelves
7:54
So this is categorized by the original movies on this side and then the Clone Wars top we
8:00
have actual scenes and rides. And then on the left hand side we have the newer versions of the movies with Rey and Finn
8:10
The Mandalorian takes up all of this shelf here and that's not all the Mandalorian pops either
8:16
And then some of the other shows like both The Fence and Obi-Wan and Ahsoka is in the
8:23
back there. Most of the Star Wars pops, Chase pops, and some of my more valuable pops that I've kept
8:30
in the box. And my most valuable pop is this guy right here, Jesse Pinkman, Comic-Con exclusive from
8:37
Breaking Bad. So the next section of pops that just kind of keeps going is television
8:42
So there's seven shelves of television. There are three more shelves back there
8:49
Stranger Things, categorized by season. Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead
8:57
And we have the six-inch girl from Squid Game, The Big Bang Theory, and then we move into Friends
9:03
So here's the original Friends set, Seinfeld, The Office, and then here's all the several
9:09
Dwights that they made. My favorite Dwight pop from the CPR scene where they're learning CPR and he ends up
9:17
cutting the mask off and putting it on his face. Schitt's Creek in the front
9:21

9:48
Vehicles that they would fight in. The original Star Trek set, almost complete
9:53
I don't have the original Captain Kirk. And then as you go a little bit further down, it's all Doctor Who
9:58

10:05
This is a complete set of Breaking Bad, Lost in the Back, Baywatch, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek
10:12
So the next section is Disney. So there's four shelves that go back that way that are all Disney
10:19
So many Disney pops. The original Cruella and then the remake. You can tell the difference and the different detail between the two
10:27
And then we have a whole shelf of Frozen. So this is Frozen 1 and Frozen 2
10:32
Mike and Sully. Don't have the original Boo. Inside Out, which they just came out with a new movie and a new wave of pops, which
10:39
are not up here. From Aladdin we have the Genie and Aladdin at the kind of the makeshift game show
10:45
We have Krunk and Yzma on the throne. These are mainly Disney princesses and different variants of Disney princesses
10:52
Mulan on the horse. Hercules on Pegasus. But here's the first Wreck-It Ralph next to the second Wreck-It Ralph
11:00
My favorite out of this section here has to be the Up House. Carl and his wife Yon getting married
11:06
But here is the actual Up House with the balloons. So there's Scary Face Jack
11:14
Aliens from Toy Story dressed as other Disney characters. A life-size Jack-Jack from the Incredibles
11:25
We have WWE pops. Shelves are some of the OG original wrestlers that I grew up with as a kid
11:32
And then we move into kind of the Attitude era, like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin
11:38
and some other folks. And then we have more newer wrestlers. So the most recent Cody Rhodes
11:43
And then next to the WWE pops are the rock stars, the musicians
11:47
Bryant Carey, Britney Spears. Rock bands. In the recent pet pass for Black Friday, Walmart came out with these pop albums
11:57
And then one of my favorite bands right here is Soundgarden. Bad Motor Finger album
12:04
A huge album cover. Or this is where I keep all of my Freddy Funko pops
12:08
So Freddy Funko, if you didn't know, is the mascot of Funko. And he cosplays as all different characters
12:15
Here is a four-pack. So at New York Comic Con last year, I met one of the founders of Funko, Mike Becker
12:25
Funmaker Mike. And so he actually gave this to me when I met him, just out of the blue
12:31
And signed it and drew a little Freddy Funko like he does on it, which was really awesome
12:36
He was really cool to meet, really down to earth, really nice
12:40
This was amazing. So this is the four of the original folks that were around when Funko started
12:47
Mike Becker is really the main face. But thank you, Mike. Really appreciate this
12:52
This was really, really cool. This was an unreleased four-pack, so this was not for sale anywhere
12:58
I don't even know how you can get this. But I also wanted to show this pop. So this is, it is an official pop
13:03
This is me. So Funko started a pop yourself line. So you can go online, pick different accessories and outfits and different things
13:12
So I just picked a couple accessories, a Funko Pop, and then like a trophy for Guinness
13:17
glasses and a beard. And this is how it came out. Here is the updated certificate for the Funko Pop world largest collection, 8,002 pops
13:30
So this is the third time that I'm breaking this particular record for the largest Funko
13:34
Pop collection. I love Funko Pops so much because they, to me, are a way to connect with other people
13:42
as well. So we all share a lot of common passions and have a lot of differences, but also share
13:48
a lot of commonality. And I think Funko Pops are one way to connect with other people, whether they agree with
13:54
you or not. I actually use Funko Pops at my mental health therapy practice to help connect with kids
14:01
and adults and just find out more about them and what they like
14:05
