Funko Pop
 
I figured this would make for a good thread.
Do any of you guys own Funko Pop figurines?
I'm planning on buying a Kylo Ren Funko.
What about you guys?

Autbot_Benz 11-16-2015 01:41 PM

I think they are kind of creepy figures. But I do own an 11th doctor Pop

I have one of Leo that I only display because it was a gift (& my favorite turtle), but I kinda hate these things. Funko makes some other cool stuff, I support the company in general, just not Pop! I find the aesthetic to be unspired & lacking, the huge head gimmick is tiresome, I don't feel that the black eyes work to the benefit of characters who don't otherwise have them. The only thing that's really cool is how many licenses they've got, obscure & foreign ones, to boot. But that only makes me more frustrated that some of those series' only or 'quality' merch will be these pieces...

There is no 13th doctor Pop anything you must be talking about Capaldi who is the 12th doctor.

Zak The Neutrino 11-30-2015 10:38 PM

I have way too many of these things. Collecting them is as addicting as crack.

I take them to work but now I have too many for my cube.

Here is an old pic of my cube at work.

Pollyparrot 12-01-2015 12:10 AM

That looks good Zak. I could imagine collecting them to create a display like that.

Ive been collecting these now for just about two year. Most of my collection is in storage right now while I'm stationed in Korea but this is the small amount that I do have with me here.

Turnstone 01-24-2016 02:07 PM

I'm always on the fence about these. I can't decide if I truly like them or not. I'm more of a bobble head guy I guess.

Slade 04-28-2016 01:20 AM

They're ok. I've got a Superman and unless I find a Deathstroke or something, I probably won't ever buy another.

joefsas 04-28-2016 01:57 AM

The only ones I have were given to me as gifts.
.TMNT Mikey
.GOTG Groot
.Deadpool

Donatello19 05-01-2016 12:57 AM

I have over 80 of these figures as of right now, I'm a huge fan! Most of my collection is made up of Disney and Marvel characters.

TonySiegel 05-01-2016 07:52 PM

I don't see whats the draw on these...

Well they represent either one of two things 1) pop culture (hence the name POP) and 2) stuff that's trending or popular now

The Deadman 06-02-2016 01:06 PM

I'll always remember this asshat SOB.

SurrealBrain 08-26-2016 10:05 PM

Got myself a Mega Man. They're neat little things, but I doubt I'll be a serious collector.

Are you just like, trying to give yourself away at this point?

The Deadman 10-18-2017 01:11 PM

I wish they'd expand on the TMNT line. Give us the 2003 Turtles, give us movie turtles from the first couple of movies etc.

Prowler 10-22-2017 02:08 PM

I like how they seem to have lots of different licenses. From Astérix to Street Fighter Funko Pops. Hell I've even seen a Darkwing Duck Funko Pop before. Speaking of Street Fighter, why is there a yellow and a green Blanka? I know swap palettes are a thing in fighting games in order to avoid confusion, but was that really needed? Seems like a clever way to get more collector's money.

That being said, never got any of their figures. I don't even think they look bad overall despite the big heads and round pitch black eyes. Thing is, I was never the type of person to collect things just for the sake of it. Buying a figure just to stand there and never touching it other than when I have to clean the dust off of it just seems pointless and a waste of money to me. I also stopped buying action figures once I outgrew playing with toys. I'd just buy a few Funko Pops... and then forget their existence or not even notice them any more after a few days.

newfan 10-22-2017 02:21 PM

I'm not interested in collecting many, I have 2 and am thinking of getting Shredder, but not sure if to get the funko pop or bobble head.

Powder 10-22-2017 03:09 PM

I'd go for a bobble head, myself. Anything "normal" looking is better than those marshmallow headed black eyed... things... :tlol:

Utrommaniac 10-22-2017 03:16 PM

I ended up getting a bunch in a row as a birthday gifts

Ceres sent a Dalek Sec figure, knowing I like Daleks (and not realizing that Sec is the Best Dalek), then only a little while later did my boyfriend give me the whole BoJack Horseman set.

So of course things look a little weird when they're all together :lol:

I wouldn't collect any others past that, unless maybe I found another Dalek or two.

Coola Yagami 10-31-2017 02:01 AM

I'm hoping the He-Man pops hit my area soon, I believe they're already out.

Spike Spiegel 11-05-2017 09:57 PM

I've got a She-Hulk POP (the only one I've ever owned); I might get those TMNT figures in February to keep my display shelf green :tsmile:

newfan 01-21-2022 09:55 AM

Sorry to revive a thread.. (which also seems to have a few banned members in it)

Those of you who buy these, has anyone bought them from Pop in a box? Just saw it come up while I was searching for something and wondered if anyone had used it before.

I have in the past. It's kinda cool cause you can list the Pops you already own and list the ones you want, so when you get them, they're random, but randoms of what you want. Or just flat out buy the one you want.

I don't know where you are, but for me in the US, they take a while they're mailed from the UK, so patience is a key.

My ex and I subbed, the funny part is most of the time it was Pops she wanted, based on Disney princess stuff. I did score a Pac-Man pop and a 60's Catwoman pop though.

Thanks, turns out they are sold out of the one I want anyway but useful to know for another time.
