Paul Scardino has always been a big fan of pop culture, with a superhero-sized affinity for all things Marvel Comics.
After being introduced to Funko’s Pop! Civil War 4-pack featuring Hawkeye and Spider-Man in 2017, however, Scardino couldn’t have known just how far his own universe was about to expand.
Today, Scardino is the official Guinness World Record holder with the galaxy’s largest Funko collection — as well as the latest addition to the Pop Price Guide family of users.
Scardino is of course managing his vast collection of more than 5,300 unique Funko items on a Showcase here on PPG that you’ll be able to peruse. He’ll also be putting his collection on display via online videos, which we will also share.
“I love Marvel stuff, that’s how it starts,” admits the Cleveland native and Regional Vice President of the National Counseling Group.
Scardino’s collection mostly consists of figures displayed out-of-box and is broken into subsets such as franchise, movie or television season.
Mostly. Higher value items, such as his Pop! Tony the Tiger figures receive special treatment in the jam-packed showroom located within his Virginia home.
“I think Funko Pop!s have become so popular is because they capture the essence of our childhood and our favorite characters,” Scardino said. “And people are willing to do a lot for their characters and stories they love.”
Take the Guinness World Records tour…
Congratulations! Wow that is extremely impressive. You are living the dream!
You might have the largest collection of alltime. But, You don’t have the grearest collection of alltime because I do. All your Pops are out of the boxes with the boxes nowhere in sight. You do know without the boxes. You will only get around 33% of the value of any single Pop you own. I hope you kept the boxes mint and in A safe place. With that said, Well done on the size of your collection. I have 677 Funko Pops in their boxes. Its worth around $24,000 becase of Rare Pops, Autographed Pops and Factory Errors. I am at A 35 dollar average worth per single Pop. Now lets see you do that my Dude. Happy Hunting and Happy Collecting
I bet you Paul has all the boxes neatly stored away.
I think your missing the point here man. It’s not about what their worth. This is about the love of collecting not about how much you could get for it. I’m sure his collection is priceless to him and wouldn’t sell it anyway. It seems like you were just lookin to try and 1-up him with some shameless bragging
I couldn’t agree more.
You must be blind? All his boxes are behind the each Pop! & FYI your collection sounds pretty weak! $24,000 That’s it? Big deal!
i got my first pop it was £12 🙂 its vanya from umbrella academy. ima try get Five next and then probs not really get anymore unless a really cool one comes out i like, ive looked at getting one for around 4 years but never did
i agree Rob, i posted below to diggity’s comment. Paul’s estimated value of his massive collection is around 129k.
Sir, please let this man have his moment. You don’t seem to have made an appearance in the Guinness Book of World Records as he has. While you may claim you may be superior where ever is your proof besides your own word. So again my good sir, pride goeth before the fall. Happy hunting!
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say something like I have a better collection and try to steal the spotlight etc… Then I saw the comment from DblDeez2000. Yay DblDeez2000 good for you. I buddy. I hope you keep getting more and more toys to play with đź‘Ť
i agree diggity, but if the dude would’ve just clicked the link he would’ve seen how much Paul’s collection is worth. it’s worth 6x DbleDeez2000’s collection. let the dude live for real. it’s good for the community, but i guess haters are always going to hate.

Estimated Value
$129,578
use the link, see his collection and his overall estimated value. congratulations to Paul.
We got ourselves a hater and not and appreciator. A true collector will appreciate his/her worth in collecting without price in the back of the mind for revenue.
Sadly your one of those person who like too damper others success. In the end, Your Pop value will be worth 0$. Attitude like yours will attract no interest.
Highest congratulations!!
Lmao what are you the pop patrol? Let the dude live.
I agree with Allen, Give the man a break, let him do what he loves
Congrats man – that is seriously impressive!
Very nice collection. I look forward to see more of it!
I would marry you, sir.
Nice one, we had considered a Funko collector dating service… maybe we should? Also, that way if you have 300 POPs and your potential partner has 300 different ones you could own the Record!
Congratulations on your impressive collection and your official Guinness World Record for the galaxy’s largest Funko collection. I understand how you feel….I feel the same way about my collection!
Congratulations!! I love collecting Funko pops. I actually just reached my milestone and I have 6,014 funko items now. I don’t do it for the value. I do it because It’s fun and exciting. I don’t have the room to display all my items but someday I intend too.
Hello all my viewers After being in relationship with my husband for years, he broke up with me. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened, That He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again, Contact Dr rahim Today the great Spell caster that can help you with any relationship issues, XXXXXXXXX@gmail.com or https://XXXXXXXXXX.com/ whatsap XXXXXXXXXX Interesting to know that Dr rahim also have solutions to problems lik is nice man he help me too
We normally delete all spam (and we get a lot) but I thought Maria’s message was almost too good to be deleted so just removed those contact details (if you want a spell caster than you need to google for Dr Rahim…).
Lol, that’s awesome.
Thanks everyone!! I appreciate the love, and agree that no ones collection is “better” than anyone else’s. We all love stories and they connect us deeper than we might initially think. I’ll be exploring these ideas in addition to deep dives into my collection on my new Youtube Channel, https://youtube.com/channel/UCGW25lwSyz3vAIhqo8374jQ
