Quick answer
Open your Funism blind bag carefully along the sealed edge to avoid scratching the figure, then inspect the included pieces and note the style number before storing the bag for reference.
Why unboxing technique matters for Funism figures
Funism blind bag figures are small (1.53-2.4 inches) and made of painted PVC/ABS. Ripping the bag open carelessly can scratch the paint or chip small details like ears or tails. A slow, controlled opening preserves the figure's finish and keeps the bag intact if you want to keep it as a collectible record.
How to unbox your Funism blind bag in 5 steps
- 1. Find the sealed edge: Hold the bag so the printed design faces away from you. Look for the heat-sealed edge, usually along the top or side. Use scissors or carefully tear along that seam, not through the front artwork. Opening from the wrong side can tear the character image you might want to save.
- 2. Remove the figures gently: Slide the two figures out onto a soft surface like a cloth or your palm. Do not pull them by their heads or limbs—PVC can snap under sudden force. If a figure is stuck, wiggle the bag slightly. Figures are not glued inside; they are loose. Forcing them out can bend or break thin parts.
- 3. Check for the style identifier: Each figure has a small number or letter stamped on the bottom of the foot or base. Write down or photograph this code immediately. It tells you which of the 8 regular styles or the 1 chaser you received. Rely on the stamped code, not the bag artwork—bag art can be misleading.
- 4. Inspect for defects or damage: Examine each figure under good light for paint smudges, scratches, or loose parts. Funism figures are factory-painted, so minor inconsistencies happen. Decide within a few minutes if you want to contact support. Most minor paint variations are normal; only major damage or missing pieces warrant a return.
- 5. Store the bag and organize your series: Keep the empty bag flat in a binder sleeve or small box. Note the style code and date on the sleeve. This helps you track which Maltese Fun Party styles you already own and avoid duplicates in future purchases. A simple log prevents buying the same style again and makes trading easier.
