Let's see!

Soon. All in good time.

<--- Owns no Funko Pops.

I wish I didn't some days, but what the hell - I'm a collector. I can say I've kept it pretty simple.

 

[MadCow]

Nope. But I did get Pinky and the Brain yesterday.

Damnit, I fought the urge for those quite a few times. The only thing that saved me was that I only see Pinky, never Brain. I like the Animaniacs ones as well...

 

[Boba Ben]

I want the Resident Evil Funko Pops. I think they're supposed to be released soon.

I wish I didn't some days, but what the hell - I'm a collector. I can say I've kept it pretty simple.

I hated Pops and Funko for a long time, partly because I didn't get the appeal of the style and how they all looked the same. What made me REALLY hate them is that I couldn't walk into a store anymore without seeing 10000000 of them, but I can't really hate on Funko for that, it's the retailers doing it. The constant cramming of Pop Culture down our throats annoys me to no end... Then Funko took over the Reaction line and announced some properties that I could only dream of owning as a kid like: Back to the Future, The Goonies and THE DARK CRYSTAL! That helped me gain some respect for them. The Pop designs have also gotten a lot better lately, so with the combo of that and the insane amount of licenses they've started to appeal to me more. My kids have started to like them as well and it's been fun collecting together. Keeping it simple is key though.

You got to hit it AND get a BJ? Impressive

At first I never understood the allure of them. I got one of each of my focus but then, like you, I saw some properties that just brought me back to my youth. The Labyrinth set is probably my favorite. The all look great together. I'm really hoping they do the Princess Bride, as I think that license is right up Funko's alley to have a great line of Pops made.

Again, keeping it focused is key. I can't just blindly buy everything I think is cool. Then I really would have a wall full of them.

I think Princess Bride was announced or mentioned at some point. I'd be shocked if they DIDN'T make them eventually. It all started with The Dark Crystal for me, I haven't gotten to Labyrinth yet but I'd love to get a Ludo. I was excited for Hoggle when they announced him but I don't like final product design.

It's funny. If you go on the FunkoFanatics Board or the reddit thread, I swear people just buy any Pop made just to have it. Then you see collection pics of those "walls" and it just looks odd to me. The packaging adds nothing to the figures, it's so cut and paste, no originality.

Thankfully all the SW ones are bobbleheads. I despise bobbleheads! This stops me from buying them, money saved! The only ones I think are cool are the droids like R2. The design is cool and the legs are springy, pretty neat.

Awesome. I was going to get the Dark Crystal, but I decided to get the Rebels instead.

I agree the walls look odd. I knew when I got a few I would have to be disciplined to keep my focus.

but I have Gold Stormtrooper.

Beat that!

I preordered 10 of the porcelain pattern ones!

 

[Aliaz]

Damn all this talk of POP!s, made me buy one today.

You would...

 

[Aliaz]

Damn, sticking to OT figures just got hard. That Jyn figure looks awesome.

 

[punkg42]

You would...

Haha, no. Angie's mom collects plates and dishes with that blue and white pattern on it and I joked we should get one for her. hahaha

I think I'm going to get a Jyn Erso. She seems so sassy!

Owns no Funko pops even though Facebook seems to think I like them
