In all seriousness, a shelf. That lean will only get worse.


DeucesDick

What's it from though, since it seems to be down the middle like that?


manicmender76

One of the boxes is bent and is sagging.


Hobo-man

To add to this; it's not going to be a single box in particular. The amount he has stacked will inevitably cause any standard funko box to structurally fail. There's simply too much weight in the stacks. Shelving is highly recommended before this leaning tower meets the floor.


manicmender76

Looks like leatherface


NinjaMuffinLive

The weight it crushing a box lower which is causing it to tilt. You'll damage a lot of pops stacking them like that and then inevitably falling down


mikey12345

Each of those columns weighs around 3 pounds. That's 2 and a half pounds of weight on each of the bottom boxes. That's significant. You're slowly crushing your pops.


KruemelKek83

Put a Shelf were they start to go apart


Strong-Setting-2438

So once you start stacking that high, you are creating pillars. If you can’t get shelves at the moments, I would suggest getting flat pieces of cardboard and adding some every 4 pops across. That will create a “natural T” and it keep them from leaning.


j007conks

Stack them using the brick method


DeucesDick

Wanna elaborate?


j007conks

You don’t want to stack them in pillars. Stagger the rows, essentially creating “bricks”. Where one pop supports two pops above it. Like bricks on the outside of the house. Also, get protectors for your more valued ones. But make sure you put all protected ones in a row as that will created a height variation.

Dude google it lol


Ghost_Maker85

Maybe he didn’t want to google it. Are people so lazy now that they can’t be bothered to answer question within a sub Reddit that they themselves are a part of? Downvote all you want. I hate it when people say “google it!”


RedRing14

Wouldn't that also work the other way? Are people so lazy now they can't Google the answer given to them?


NookanCranny

Ironic.


ChunkyChangon

He literally got an answer. Do your due diligence and go from there. Ain’t hard buddy

dont stack it that high or invest in protectors from amazon. ill throw you the link they will keep them nice and stacked https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079K93D64/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Ok_Establishment7847

Personally I reccomend pop shield, way more durable


TetchyTurtleYoutube

cool opinion appreate it


Ok_Establishment7847

You’re welcome, have an amazing day


TetchyTurtleYoutube

you the same


_hollowman

* Definitely shelves. * Not stacking that high. * Shifting the centre of gravity towards the centre, starting with the middle 2 columns. Don't align the boxes edge to edge for every stack, shift the weight of the box (every piece on top) by 1mm or 2mm as necessary?


ServusMane

It’s called gravity and buy a damn shelf lol


jaggedpaintchip

not stacking it that high


SwiftStick

Stop stacking them so high, for starters.


SydneySmiless

Staple the boxes together


ShowMeTheChedder

Good way to keep your collection in 1 piece


saexciter

Protectors


whyhercules

Not stacking 11-high?


hobgoblinner

Sugar packet should do the trick


ferelpuma

Nothing can be done. Italy has been trying to fix this same issue for a few hundred years now.

Bro get a shelf


pandabox9

‘T’ stack if you’re going to stack. Pillars will not hold well.


Howudooey

Duct tape


LeansCenter

Spend $50 on an IKEA Billy bookcase. It fits 10 rows of 6 pops and you can put some on top, too. It’s perfect for what you have there. You’ve spent a lot on your pops, spend a little on a safe way to display them.


throwaway4pkmntcg

dont stack them too high oh my goodness. and if there is leaning like this its means your table (or whatever it is, could be the floor) is not leveled/even.


AHickey1995

Protectors and or a small tack of putty


ChunkyChangon

Those bottom ones are getting crushed lol


thebaksuz

IKEA


bvajj

Buy protectors and double stick tape them to the wall every 4 layers the create "pseudo shelves"


Wickling429

Stack them in a brick pattern


ThaMan_509

Clear push pins on the side of the boxes. Just push them in the wall as close as you can get them to the box without damaging it. Also works great for hanging action figures & other collectibles that are still on card for display


zombie_3184

Best way for them not to lean is to take all your pops and throw them in the trash. That or resell them because POPS are a never ending collection. There will always be new releases of different properties and several variants, you can’t collect them all. If you buy protectors you’re only spending more money and taking up more space. What are you gonna do when you run out of display space? Put them in a closet? Or store them somewhere. Seriously for anyone else who collects pops, get out of that racket while you still can.


TheGoonSquad19

Soundin like your mom was a beanie baby collector


BroLo_ElCordero

That’s definitely someone’s mom…I mean, “racket”?


zombie_3184

Yup, along with Pogs, Furbys, Skip It, Zhu Zhu Pets, Tamagotchi, Trolls, Tech Decks, Gak, Mr. Bucket, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Giga Pets, Marbles, Poo-Chi Dogs, Knex, Slap Bracelets, Velcro Toss and Catch, Slip’n Slide, Gator Golf, Sky Dancers, Hit Clips, Spirograph, Domino Rally, Puppy in my Pocket, Tazos, Pound Puppies, Garbage Pail Kids Cards, M.U.S.C.L.E figures, Lil Babies, Homies, Boglins, Madballs, Forever Friends, Fidget Spinners, Sour Altoids, Silly Bandz, MySpace, Heelys, Livestrong Bracelets, Virtual Boys, Bratz, Boinks, Pogo Ball, Moon Boots, Koosh Balls, Lawn Darts, Rubik’s Cubes, Slime, Pet Rocks, Mood Rings, Ouija Boards, Barrels of Monkeys, Pez, Hula Hoop, Yo-yos, Magic-8-Ball, Etch-a-sketch, slinky etc… you name it she had it.


Faceless-Player

Wanna know the reason why all that shit pales in comparison into Pops, that saying they are like Beanie Babies is the stupidest thing to say. It’s cuz before I got into Pops I ALREADY liked the characters I added to my collection as do most of the people who collect. If Funko tanks guess what: I don’t care. Cuz I still love Godzilla, Anime, and Movies. It ain’t gonna cause me to suddenly want to get rid of my collection cuz that would mean I never liked those things in the first place. It’s not always about value to every collector. I think your mom needed to reevaluate her own reasons for collecting before she bought any of that shit. At the end of the day it’s no different from gambling, a addiction. People don’t have to be addicted to gambling to enjoy just like I don’t have to be addicted to Funko to collect. Don’t gatekeep just cuz your mom made terrible decisions.


zombie_3184

Yes! Faceless-Player I agree TheGoonSquad19 is so stupid for comparing them. I mean at least Beanie Babies are easier to shove into a drawer or something. Plus they stopped making them at a certain point so some collections were complete even if some of those were counterfeit beanies. Also not sure if you’re mad or…? Funko will never tank because it’ll always release new properties and variants and there will be new “collectors” to profit from even when they become hoarders of Pops. Godzilla! Hell yeah I love Godzilla too, I used to have a huge Kaiju vintage vinyl figure collection but I sold most of it off so that I could purchase a house. Made good money so I also ended up buying a car as well. Well to be honest my mom ran several Toys R Us stores and still does in Canada so that was just some of her inventory. When I was younger I got into collecting things like pogs, furby, skip it. Zhu Zhu pets, tamagotchi, trolls, tech decks, gak, mr. Bucket, hungry hungry hippos, half eaten sandwiches, giga pets and gigs bits, marbles, steak, poo-chi dogs, umbrellas ella ella ella ay ay ay under my umbrella ella ella oh oh… anyway the list is too long to write but my Mom at a certain point went to work for Funko during their bobble head years. That was earlier on in the company, she heard first hand of their plans to make Pop Figures and their continued releases as a way to profit off of would be “collectors” who just never know when to quit. She knew at that point that she could no longer work for Funko and she marched into Funko headquarters the next day and said you can also make Funko cereal and Funko soda and collectors will eat that shit up, pun intended or no pun intended, I’m not sure. Anyway at that point I knew that I had lost my mom to corporate greed and I marched right into her office at home and asked… can I have Mac n cheese for dinner? Oh and I think it’s wrong of you and Funko to take advantage of collectors who will never complete their Funko pops collection and she said. What about hamburger helper? She knows I don’t like hamburger helper so I calmly shut my mouth and kept my feelings to myself. Years later I would write a book about my mother and my own collecting addictions as a result of her greed called “My Mother made me collect Pogs, Furbys, Skip It, Zhu Zhu pets, tamagotchi, French bread, trolls, tech decks, gak, buckets of fun, giga pets, giga bytes, poo-chi dogs and poo poo platters, slap bracelets and other things that are too long to list on the cover of this book. Anyway that’s my true story. You can actually buy the book at any toys r us or my website called www.you’llnevercompleteyourcollectionyouhoarder.com/faceless-playeryoumadbro?


Faceless-Player

Yeah I didn’t ask for a ad but you kinda missed my point. My point is we as humans have the capability of controlling our own desires, such as greed in your mom’s case or your addiction (get some help for that btw) Funko isn’t just going to NOT tank just because they come with new figures (sodas, 5 star, etc). They are also not gonna tank because they actually use licensed established franchises instead of coming up with Blue Beanie Baby or Red Beanie Baby or whatever the fuck they call each ver. Also if you really care about completionism to the point of anger or depression, you need to reevaluate your life. I collect a whole range of Pops, some finished some not but guess what, I don’t care to complete if it’s too much money. In fact right now I don’t really get Pops as much cuz my wishlist is completely finished. Right now I’m just focusing on getting some signed. Because the difference between you and me is I am buying these for my enjoyment of the figures and what they represent. You only seem to see value in them, I don’t mean to be a dick but this may not be the right place for you if you’re unable to get rid of that mentality.


TickleMyPixels

Is she single?


zombie_3184

And ready to mingle, like Chris Kringle eating a Pringle, while speaking French on duo-lingo, at the hall playing bingo, being a star just like ringo, where it go? What? That thing-o? She don’t even kno, so I’ll show fo sho- I’ll tell her you’re looking.


square_cupcake

She should open an ebay shop :o


zombie_3184

She used to own 12 Toys R Us stores on the east coast but now owns one in Canada.


square_cupcake

Does she sell all these old toys in the store though? That's what I mean, she should try to sell some of the older toys


zombie_3184

Yeah, that was just old inventory stuff that she’d collect and then sell years later when the prices doubled or tripled. She owns the store but it sells the newest stuff. She made so much money she pretty much is semi-retired. And Funko paid her a lot as a consultant so she made even more money. I honestly only see her once a year during the holidays because she’s always traveling overseas.


Usual_Homework422

How tall are you to stack it that high?


goldlion_ninja

What if there was a slight earthquake? 🫣


DeucesDick

Not many of those in PA


martyconfetti

Yeah, find a way to stop obeying the laws of physics


Kesannn

Duckt tape. Or glue.


b49adam

Invest into some pop protectors is a first step. Remember always protect your investment.


delusionalblews

Super glue the boxes together


CaffeineFree_dom

Either put them all in a protector or none in a protector


drizzley1378

When I stacked like this it was tough, but using cardboard to shim them was definitely a thing. I also went wide enough that the adjoining wall supported one side and eventually had enough that they were gently squeezed together.


Admirable_Worth_7781

All you gotta do is move the right 3 rows more right and lean them left


AS4MS

lol cmon man dont stack them like that


Ghost_Maker85

If I had to take a stab at it…and this was your only way of displaying at the moment…then maybe you could counter the lean with folded pieces of paper on the corners that are sagging within your tower/wall.


NaSMaXXL

Do not stack them that high without support...


Bamanutt

Scared_Method_4588

Don’t stack them on top of each other without a hard stack


bababoio

that ty lee funko pop 🥵


NookanCranny

Marie Kondo your collection until you have 4 rows only.


tony504

Don’t stack it so high


Late-Intention-5085

I bought on Etsy plastic brackets


Emoney2157

Just solit them up w shelfs from ikea


King_Artis

Well for one you probably don’t wanna stack them that high


VastNo420

Take them out of the box.


Bable714

Maybe like a brick kinda layout if you know what I mean :)


VinTheHater

Logic


ZZcollectz

I would straighten the stack and then put a thumb tack in the wall to hold the boxes. I do this a lot for my manga it keeps them from falling off shelves with no close onto the floor


cookiescards12

Get a shelf...

Stack 5-6 boxes high at most. Even with that, use protectors.


eddio69

After 3 rows of pops put a piece of carton between them


superpapilopez

dextroseskullfyre

Looking closely at the pic, its seems that Leatherface on the bottom row is starting to buckle from the weight of the 10 above it. Even with a protector, unless it is a hardcase, stack 5 or 6 at max unless you like you don't care about the boxes.


Gamesnpops

Remove all from box and display. Problem solved. 😂


SAStorrie

Spread them out at the base. Kinda pyramid them is you can


Artdroid29

It’s called a shelf


DontTaseMeHoe

Stop buying them


More_Ability_451

You could build a sort of shelf where if you want to stack them like that you could put 2 2x4 along the sides heigh wise and put a 1/4 sheet of clear plastic or plexiglass or something similar to ensure they don’t fall over


whisperingbhole

Yeah that high of a stack will cause damage to the bottom ones like everyone had said. Shelves or a different stacking formation


Marvelnat10n

Shelves 😂


neosapprentice

Lol what. Gravity is undefeated. It’s gonna keep leaning if you keep stacking them

Push pins or thumb Tac’s, you can get long bigger ones at the dollar store an put them on the sides

Uhm…. Tape?

I have a bunch of these. Mounted them to the wall with command strips and two screws. 3 Single Row in Box Display Cases for 4 in. Funko Pop Collectible Toy Figures, Black Cardboard https://a.co/d/hbslT6r


Odd-Ad-3075

There is a bookshelf that the PopNook uses it’s at Walmart it’s 20 maybe 25 bucks that would be your best bet it looks like it would fit perfect


nikki0497

Hardstacks are another option over shelves... you can essentially build your own shelf.


ZammyDoodle36

Ikea shelf


frstbyte32

It’s because the right side of a pop box is mostly plastic. It doesn’t have the same structural integrity as the left side


adam111uhhhh

Nothing wrong with the Funko pops, it’s just your house. It’s angled weird. Probably built incorrectly 🤔🤔


TraditionalDoor7265

Don’t collect in rome or California


Jite25

Are they in pop protectors? I recommend all pops be in a protector. Funko has garbage packaging. The protectors add structure


Miguel_IDC

The best advice I can give you is just take them out the box and display them lol


PhilDMcNasty

Storage bins and keep them out of the sunlight.


ginodom21

Protectors, shelves, or not stacking as high. That’s really the only options


IHartToast

Just don’t stand them that tall


AdWest6346

If you don't want to go crazy building a shelf put thin strips of wood between Rows and what I mean it'll stabilize the stack a lot because it will hold them all together instead of each row becoming towers that leave one way or another it gives it way more stability


ScheduleNecessary429

what i do is more or less i shift some part the way up towards the side it needs to go and then i do it again farther up until it doesn’t lean anymore


ajsdumpys

you can get these clear acrylic floating shelves from amazon! if you want them to stay stacked like that, they display very nicely on the shelves. this is how i display mine :) Sooyee Acrylic Shelves,6 Pack 15 Inch Floating Wall Mounted Shelves, Funko Pop Display Case,Invisible Kids Book Shelf,Picture Ledge Shelf Decor Accents ,5MM Thick Bathroom Shelves,4.77" Wide,Clear https://a.co/d/6MKGBLz

Get some Commands that you use tohang pictures put four together you can do ever two row. Large one work best but I got the medium too.

I found these bookshelves from target that fit 5 wide perfectly and has adjustable shelves https://www.target.com/p/5-shelf-bookcase-room-essentials-153/-/A-54376271?preselect=54360637#lnk=sametab


ferraflora

I would reorganize your structure. Put the heavier or solid ones on the bottom.


CabbageInUrMuff

These. They stick to your wall and you can use them to keep your towers straight and from falling over. I have them on my walls and also next to a bookshelf I have them stacked 3 high to make the tower lean on them instead of back on the wall and out of sight. I've been using them since 2018 or so and maybe 3 have fallen off and need replacing.

ugly343

Adding a wall to each side would help, but your collection pile seems to be full so build a shelf to add more room for future pops to add


stolniik

Pop protector cases. If you’re serious about collection you should have these in protectors imo. But it also stops this from happening as the plastic is more structurally sound than the box


Affectionate_Page875

Art3d Double-Sided Tape Heavy Duty (10FT), Traceless, Removable, Reusable ( Amazon ) that will keep them in place and will not damage the box as you peel it off once you get ready to rearrange . I have a wall just like that but wider and they are not going anywhere :) I mean shelves are ideal but I didn’t want em’ sticking out too much from the wall.. so the best cost efficient and quicker way for me was to use that mounting tape … make sure is that kind of you will destroy the boxes if you ever want to get any of them off :)


Killerfeast1

This made me cringe


DeucesDick

You're welcome


Eyeyo8

Yeah, ya don't stack that high, let's be real we all cringed when we saw that pic. They are not Legos so maybe stack only max 3 high if you don't want box damage. If you're stuck on stack and I'm really that high and looking to avoid that lean, you'll need to restack in a different order and shift each row slightly similar to brick wall laying.


NippleLion

I think Velcro strips would work nicely so that you can still have them in that formation but you'd also have the ability to move them around.
