Funko has released more than one blood-themed box print over the years, and it is easy to lump them all together as one gore variant. The bullet-holes print is its own distinct box design, with a punched-hole pattern that reads very differently from a splatter effect.
Protecting that specific print means matching the protector to the actual box graphics, not just to the general horror category. A generic case still works, but a protector built with this print in mind keeps the bullet-hole detail fully visible.
This guide covers what makes the bullet-holes box distinct, why it is worth treating separately from other blood-print variants, and how to protect it without dulling the print. It also looks at how this print fits into a wider horror-variant Funko shelf.
The 4-inch red blood bullet-holes box uses a pattern of punched-looking holes across the packaging rather than a splash or smear effect. It is a specific print treatment Funko has used on select horror and villain releases.
Because it is a printed pattern rather than a random splatter, the design reads more graphic and deliberate on a shelf, which is exactly why it draws a different kind of collector interest.
EVORETRO already carries a dedicated protector for the standard blood splatter print, and the two are genuinely different SKUs with different box graphics. Treating them as interchangeable risks buying a protector sized or styled for the wrong print.
Collectors chasing a full set of gore-variant Funko boxes often want each print treated as its own line item, both for accurate cataloging and for a shelf that shows off each design correctly.
A PET protector needs to be clear enough that the bullet-hole detail stays sharp rather than washed out. Cloudy or overly thick plastic can flatten a high-contrast print like this one.
A snug, purpose-built fit also matters here, since a loose protector lets the box shift and the printed pattern drift out of alignment with the case front.
The Funko Pop 4 Inches Red Blood with Bullet Holes PET Protector is built specifically for this box graphic, not repurposed from a general-print case. It is the right starting point for anyone building a dedicated horror-variant shelf around this specific print.
Because it is sized and shaped for this exact box, there is no guesswork about whether the fit will be snug enough to keep the print aligned behind the case front.
Collectors chasing multiple gore or horror prints often end up with a small dedicated section of the shelf just for these releases. Keeping each print in its correctly matched protector makes that section read as a deliberate collection rather than a mismatched pile.
Grouping by print style, rather than mixing horror variants in with standard releases, also makes it easier to spot when a new matching release drops. It also makes the whole section easier to photograph as one themed grouping rather than a scattered mix of styles.
Even with a protector on, direct sunlight will fade a high-contrast red print faster than a muted color scheme. Keeping horror-variant boxes off a sun-facing shelf preserves the print's contrast for far longer.
Stacking is also riskier with a bold graphic like this, since any pressure points show up more visibly against a stark print than against a plain box.
Buyers shopping for a specific horror print expect the box graphics to be crisp and undamaged, since the print is a big part of what they are paying for. A protector that keeps the bullet-holes pattern sharp protects resale value as much as it protects the box itself.
Selling a specialty print later is also easier when the box has clearly never been left unprotected, since buyers can visually confirm the print was cared for from the start rather than taking a seller's word for it.
No, they are built for two different box prints and are separate SKUs.
