Just curious how many people on the OR collect Funko products? I know a few folks do or have at least bought some.

I find it a challenge to resist them at times since the price-points, for Pops! at least, are reasonable. Just $9 here or $10 there and before you know it you have 130 of them. Most of which, in my case, are still packed away unfortunately.

I think that's what most collectors have a problem with: They're inexpensive, so it's easy to build up a large collection of them. I probably have a couple, so I'm not a collector of them. Still, there are some cool ones out there.

I own 4, so I’m definitely not a collector either. I like them though. I have 2 of John Wick and 2 Star Wars.

I'm like most, buy one here or there. Batman related on most.
Still like to look at them and hope to find a "chase" one in the wild one day.

My daughter has a decent collection, mostly Avengers characters. But my favorite is the Blue Sour Patch Kid. So tempted to take a bite of him.

I held out forever, since I thought they were a dumb idea. I think it mainly changed when they started getting creative with different IP that was wildly outside the humanoid basic design, but they still tried to make the POP aesthetic work. I just wasn't interested in the million Game of Throne characters, but stuff like Portal and Minecraft looks good.

My first was the Five Nights at Freddy's POPs since my daughter collected all of the plush and figures and whatever, so we have that complete collection. I started to get some of the Borderlands, but gave up when Claptrap had about 10 variants. I have two from Tron, but I've since given up. I'll get the minis thought by buying the cases vs $8 a piece for an unknown chance.

Sometimes I wonder if these will go the way of the Beanie Baby. People buying a ton of them then almost overnight the floor fell out underneath them. Or am I wrong? Ha. I thought they were hugely popular and then suddenly they weren't. People spent a lot of money buying/collecting them in the hopes that they'd be worth something someday.

Back in the day I almost did the same thing with Spawm figures. They weren't horribly priced. I didn't have 130 of them but I bought more than I should've. Especially since looking back on the fact that I displayed them for only for a few years - they've been packed away for what seems like decades now.

I may pull a few of the Spawn figures out of storage since the Funkos have reignited my "figure" collecting. Just wondering when or if my brain will say "STOP THE MADNESS" like it kinda did with Spawn.

Oakley and Nike have been my only constants and I have a lot more O than swoosh.

Just kinda going with it I guess for now. If I enjoy it "most" of the time then why not? Although like with O, the exclusives and limited editions can give me gray hair. The amount of Funko variants, as Dann touched on above, can be outright maddening/insane though!

Being inexpensive at least for me is definitely a reason for sure. Lots of cool ones out there. Something for everybody.

John Wick is a great choice. I have a few Star Wars. How can I not when it was part of my childhood. Another way they suck you in - reliving your childhood through $9 toys!

Well they just released - up for preorder - a 19" Batman Funko Pop! at $79-$99. Chases are cool. I like them better than having 45,000 variants being released.

I'm an Iron Man collector and some other Avengers as well. It does look good enough to eat! HA!

Yeah, I wasn't sucked right in at first either. Wasn't sure what to make of them until they started releasing things I was into. I do tend to like the ones that are characters that wear stuff, helmets or armor and aren't just a big square face/head. Ones like Claptrap, robots and other non-humans are usually really cool.

My Boys collect, but me myself, I have just a single Akuma from Street Fighter. If I chose to collect, I'd most likely go with horror.

The one Big advantage these have over the Beanie Babies is that Funko is getting ALL of the licences to everything that we love. https://www.funko.com/licenses
There is something out there for everybody. Either current hot trends, sports, classic retro, music, etc. Something that will hit that right "trigger" and pull at your heart strings. And then you go, well it's only 8 bucks. Then it begins.

I haven't jumped on the Funko train yet, but I have been meaning to grab a Xenomorph & Ripley figures. Just have been kinda lazy and haven't got around to it yet. But if I did, those would be the ones.

However, most of the people I know (friends, family, co-workers) who are into comics and/or movies in a big way all seem to have caught the Pop bug something fierce! I totally understand it, so i'm not judging them at all; it's just a bit perplexing how I haven't caught the bug yet.

Maybe all it takes is just one .....

True, Funko does have all of the cool licenses and seem to be getting more and more and more.

Yep, there literally is something for everyone and yes all it could take is just one! Ha!

Well, I'm trying to focus on one or two characters if any moving forward. I like a lot of things and life would be simpler, definitely easier, less expensive and at times more stress free if I could concentrate on one or two collections.

Funko, for me, has a way of sucking me back in though!

Watched Making Fun: The Story of Funko on Netflix on a whim. Not a bad watch. I didn’t know much about Funko, so it was interesting:

Cool! I still need to watch that.

Dan, you already know about the jumbo Funko Galactus:


Did you know there're already variants of it? They're all so super awesome.

Oak, I saw the Blacklight versions but did not see the Funkon editon though. NICE!

Just checking in here. Ha Ha. Lots of stuff releasing. I'm hoping to resist most of it. Unlike this guy...

Haven't gotten one in ages, but that follows my trend of not picking up as many collectables. I had actually downsized quite a bit before, so it seems silly to part with my old X-Men figures, yet keep these things around.

Downsizing? What is that? Ha Ha. I hear ya especially about the old X-Men figures. I'm trying to only concentrate on 2 or 3 characters/things. Before I kinda just got what I thought was cool. Now I'm trying to have more of a focus and hopefully that will be easier on my wallet.
