Like we mentioned, we take our Funko Pops at Draxu pretty seriously. This is why we came up with a proprietary grading system to ensure you know the exact condition of each Pop before you hit the buy button. We thoroughly evaluate every Funko we handle using the grading system described below.
But wait there’s more! We also take and share real pictures of every Pop joining our collection with a market price of $30 and up. In this way, you are able to have a smooth experience that mirrors a physical purchase experience. Shopping at Draxu is the next best thing to buying Pops from the neighborhood comic store. Promise.
If the asset is under $30, we still offer real pictures, but not for every individual Pop. Instead, we share reference pictures for assets sharing the same grade. Let’s say you’re buying a pop graded as "Standard", you'll receive a Pop in similar or better condition than the one displayed in the reference shown on the site.
Along the same lines, It’s worth noting that we do not remove collectibles from their original box or packaging unless the collectible itself presents damages (we like to keep it mint ;)). In case of said situation, the pop receives a grade lower than four and it’s pretty much game over since it is not suited to be sold in our Store.
DRX Grading System
At a glance, the following picture shows a simplified
view on how Funko Pop assets are graded.
| Grading | Score | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mint | 10 | This is Draxu's highest score. Collectible and its packaging are nearly perfect and may present very minor manufacturing imperfections. |
| Standard | 8 to 9 | Collectible is in perfect conditions and its packaging is very fine presenting some minor manufacturing or handling flaws. |
| Substandard | 6 to 7 | Collectible is in perfect conditions buts its packaging presents multiple noticeably flaws. |
| Unboxed | 4 to 5 | Collectible is in perfect shape but it is unboxed or its packaging is present but severely damaged. |
| Damaged | 0 to 3 | Collectible is visibly damaged. |
DRX Numeric Scoring
The numeric score is automatically generated from our internal grading tool based on defects our specialists found during the grading process. Here is a description of the numeric scoring as a reference.
DRX 10 - This is Draxu's highest score. Collectible and its packaging are nearly perfect and may present very minor manufacturing imperfections.
DRX 9 - Collectible is in perfect conditions and its packaging is near perfect. However, the box presents up to 2 minor defects that are barely noticeable.
DRX 8 - A Funko Pop with Drx-8 is in very good shape. Collectible is in perfect conditions and its packaging is very fine presenting some minor flaws. This score accepts 1 moderate+1minor flaws or up to 4 minor flaws. The moderate flaw (if present) do not affect the front face.
DRX 7 - Collectible is still in perfect conditions but damage on its packaging starts to get more noticeable. A DRX-7 asset accepts up to 3 moderate flaws or 1 severe + 1 moderate defects.
DRX 6 - Collectible is in perfect conditions. Its box/packaging is fine but presents noticeable flaws. A DRX-6 asset could have up to 4 moderate or 2 severe flaws.
DRX 5 - Collectible is in perfect shape but its box/packaging is severely damaged
DRX 4 - Collectible is in perfect shape but it is unboxed
DRX 3 or lower - Collectible is damaged
