Our verdict on each
Funko
Funko suits fans who want officially licensed collectibles and preorder access from the same company across many fandoms. A 30 days return window from delivery gives room to open a piece, judge it and send it back, and a fan rewards program keeps repeat buying moving.
Large
Large suits fans in Belgium and the Netherlands who want collectible figures and other fandom goods from a single shop instead of several. Prices sit at €5.99 for a Funko Pop! or mystery box, and the storefront belongs to Large Popmerchandising BV, trading since 1986.

Pros and cons
Funko
Pros
- The products are officially licensed, so characters carry the approval of the studios and publishers behind the shows.
- A fan rewards program gives repeat buyers perks, now in a simpler design that is easier to track and use.
- Shelves are grouped into anime merch, comics, figures and more, so a hunt can start by fandom or by format rather than by scrolling a long flat list.
Cons
- The $3.49 figure comes from a marked-down Mystery Pocket Pop! Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the sale section, so it reflects a discount rather than a standard shelf price.
- Free delivery starts at $65, so a small basket still pays postage at checkout.
- Returns close 30 days after delivery, which is tight when a preorder arrives late or a piece turns up damaged.
Large
Pros
- Starter outlays stay small, with €5.99 quoted for a Funko Pop! or a mystery box.
- Figures span anime, Marvel and Star Wars lines, so a collector browses several fandoms in a single shop.
- Figures, clothing and anime goods share a basket, so a mixed gift list needs a single checkout.
Cons
- Shelves spread across fandoms and categories, so depth on any single line can be thin for a collector after a rare release.
- A basket with several figures and clothing costs more than €5.99, the amount quoted for a Funko Pop! or mystery box.
- The shops are set up for Belgium and the Netherlands, so a buyer elsewhere is ordering across a border and should read the delivery terms first.
Who each suits
Funko
Who it suits
- Collectors building a shelf across many fandoms who would rather buy from a single supplier.
- Fans who chase release-day drops and want preorder access before a run sells through.
- Repeat buyers who value a rewards program and a stated return window.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want to talk a problem through on the phone, since the support mix leans on written channels.
- Buyers chasing a permanently low price, since $3.49 is a reduced sale price rather than a standard shelf figure.
Large
Who it suits
- Fans buying a starter figure or a small gift, with €5.99 quoted for a Funko Pop! or mystery box.
- Collectors who want figures, clothing and anime goods in a single basket rather than a scatter of specialist shops.
- Shoppers based in Belgium or the Netherlands, served by shops set up for those markets.
Who should look elsewhere
- Collectors after a rare release who need deep stock on a single line.
- Buyers based outside Belgium and the Netherlands who would rather order from a seller inside their own market.
- Anyone waiting on a maker's own release calendar, because the shelves run by category and fandom instead.

Questions about each
Funko
What does a Funko piece cost when it is marked down?+
A Mystery Pocket Pop! Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is reduced to $3.49 in the sale section, so that figure belongs to a single discounted item. Full-price releases sit above it. For a buyer weighing price at entry, treat the sale number as a one-off and budget more for a standard release piece.
When does shipping become free?+
Free shipping starts at $65. Below that order value, postage is charged at checkout, so an inexpensive figure still carries a delivery fee. The practical move is to add a small extra item to clear the threshold and keep the delivery free.
Large
What does Large sell?+
Large sells collectible figures, including blind boxes and boxed sets, next to clothing, anime goods and merchandise for games and bands. A Funko Pop! or a mystery box sits at €5.99, so a small gift is a modest outlay. Bigger baskets cost more, so the low entry price suits a trial buy.
Which markets does Large serve?+
Large runs its own online shops for Belgium and the Netherlands. Buyers in those markets order from a storefront set up for them, while shoppers from anywhere else are pointed to a separate international shop. Anyone outside those markets should check delivery times, shipping cost and returns on that shop before paying, since terms can differ.
