(Edited re-run from an earlier feature in the now defunct, Funkorific)
KEEP COVERED: You may not know Dan Godkin, but he would like to offer some protective advice. You see he is the owner of Retroprotection, the leading maker of Pop! Protectors!
The company started producing crystal clear, acid-free box protectors for video games four years ago. His product line has expanded to literally cover games, some smaller console boxes and other products, and lately his new product has caught on with the Pop! collector audience - those with valuable collections that they wish to keep clean and pristine for years to come.

After having great success selling his product independently on Ebay they decided they needed a way to sell these for less and in May of 2013 Retroprotection was inaugurated. Now, keep in mind, Godkin runs a small, family-based operation for the love of collectors all over. By avoiding the fees imposed by the behemoth of auctions they have been able to make their prices an average of 10% less passing on the entire savings to the customer. The site offers a quick and easy way to get the same high level products at a better price!
Godkin makes great efforts to research and decide which new items to develop based on the amount of requests he gets for an item and the general demand. Hence the creation of Funko Pop! Protectors—they had requests and it took off! If there are other sizes you are looking for just make sure to send a message via the “Contact Us” area on their site and let them know to calculate the demand. When asked about any special character that stood out Godkin said: “I guess my favorite Pop! is the Hannibal Lecter. Always been a HUGE Silence of the Lambs fan”.
INGREDIENTS: Godkin ensures to only use Polyethylene Terephthalate (or PET) plastic for every one of his protectors. The material is an acid-free archive grade plastic that won’t crack or become brittle over time. There are some out there on the market that use PVC plastic which is not something that should be used for collectibles because of the acid content. This is an essential point for keeping valuables safe, and we love our Pop!s enough to give them a sturdy cover that will last and not deteriorate. Please know that “Funkorific-tested + Approved” these earlier and they are not only sized perfectly, but they are the best cost-effective solution (they get cheaper the larger pack you purchase) and snap together like a charm. They feature an auto-lock bottom. Just press in the two sides and the bottom snaps into place. Then insert your Pop! box and close the flap on the top and they are ready to be stacked and displayed without fear of dust or damage. Voila!
Don't miss out on this limited chance to save on the wonderful saving graces for your collectibles! So, this is so exciting - you should visit Retroprotection to see what they have available and also shoot them some feedback, comments or questions!
