Collecting Funko Pop! figures is more than buying vinyl — it’s about understanding the universe behind them.
Bringing Structure to the Funko Pop! Universe
The Ultimate Funko Pop! Collector’s Guide Series was created to give collectors a clear, structured, and reliable way to document, explore, and manage their collections.
One system.
Five guides.
Total clarity for Funko Pop! collectors.
The Origin of the Series
In 2025, Pop Shop Guide released its first fully structured printed reference for Funko Pop! collectors:
The Ultimate Funko Pop! Vinyl Collector’s Guide – Master Edition 2025.
The goal was straightforward: create a clear and accurate framework for Funko’s ever-growing catalog.
Funko’s official system of Pop! series is vast and constantly evolving. Number gaps, renamed lines, cross-series releases, missing figures, and reclassified products make it increasingly difficult to keep track — even for experienced collectors.
Yet every Funko Pop! figure belongs to an official Funko Pop! series, such as Pop! Movies, Pop! Animation, Pop! Television, Pop! Games, and many more.
The Master Edition was created to define that structure once and for all.
The Foundation: Master Edition 2025
The Master Edition 2025 establishes the foundation of the entire Funko Pop! universe.
It documents:
- The history and evolution of Funko and the Pop! brand
- How Pop! series were introduced, expanded, rebranded, and reorganized
- 88 official Funko Pop! series, each presented with a verified, clearly structured checklist
Every series is defined and organized consistently, creating a single reference point for collectors who want to understand how everything fits together.
The Master Edition answers the big-picture questions:
- Which Pop! series exist?
- How are figures officially categorized?
- How does Funko’s numbering work across different series?
This book does not zoom in on individual franchises.
It defines the system itself.
Everything in the series starts here.
From Structure to Depth: Franchise Editions
Once the full framework was established, the next logical step was depth.
That’s where the Franchise Editions come in.
Each Franchise Edition focuses on one official Pop! series, using the structure defined in the Master Edition — but expanding it in much greater detail.
Every Franchise Edition includes:
- A complete checklist of the selected Pop! series, sorted by figure number
- Individual franchise-based checklists, breaking that series down franchise by franchise
- Clear identification of cross-series releases when figures belong to the same franchise
These books are not simplified versions of the Master Edition.
They build directly on it.
The Franchise Editions
Each Franchise Edition delivers a focused, in-depth breakdown of a single Funko Pop! series.

Pop! Television Franchise Edition 2025
A structured reference for the Pop! Television series, spanning classic TV shows and modern streaming titles, all presented in one reliable checklist format.
Each Franchise Edition zooms in where the Master Edition defines.
How the Series Works Together
The relationship between the books is intentional and practical:
- The Master Edition defines the complete Funko Pop! structure
- The Franchise Editions expand that structure, one Pop! series at a time
Use the Master Edition to understand the full landscape.
Use the Franchise Editions to go deeper where you collect most.
Together, the five books form a complete collector’s framework.
