Fan merchandise can easily be bought online, but this doesn’t guarantee authenticity and product quality. Bogus sellers also add to collectors’ trust issues. Thankfully for collectors in the metro, the newly-opened CO. collectible store has rows of Funko Pop figures, NBA cards, game cards, and K-pop photocards.
This heaven for hobbyists in Greenhills was made possible through the collaboration of 3 collectible merchants. These are Third Culture for K-pop merchandise, Monster Pulls for NBA cards and game cards, and Pops.ph for Funko Pops.

CO. has a wide variety of Funko Pop figures for almost every fandom.
There are figures of characters from TV series such as F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Stranger Things, and La Casa de Papel (Money Heist). There are also anime characters from Demon Slayer, Hunter X Hunter, and Sailor Moon, and game characters from Overwatch and Dungeons & Dragons. Of course, every good Funko Pop store has Marvel superhero figures.
Many of the shop’s figures, including the BTS Dynamite Funko Pops, are currently sold out due to high demand, but you can check out Pops.ph’s Facebook or website to get a glimpse of what they have in store at CO.

The store has rows of these, including pre-order benefit (POB) photocards from international K-pop online stores such as withDRAMA. CO. also sells signed and sealed TWICE albums for P9,000 (~USD180.45).
For boy group fans, CO. only has BTS’ Butter and BE Essential album photocards in store for now. However, K-pop collectors can look forward to more merch from other K-pop groups such as Stray Kids.

Although Metro Manila is going to be under ECQ starting on Friday, 6 August, you can still purchase CO.’s collector items. The store is planning to have a live selling stream on Facebook. Funko Pop collectors can also get Pop.ph’s personal shopper service by messaging them on Facebook.
There are also other easier ways to buy from the shops under CO. They have websites and accounts on various platforms to cater to every customer.
