arnim zola Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I saw some mini POPs at target in the xmas stocking stuffer section. They had a mini spidey, batman, maleficent, and ariel (the little mermaid) all for like $3.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 You know, it is f***king impossible to keep up with Funko. They are announcing their new products for 2015 right now, and it's just insane. Here's a compilation from AFI, but it's basically every property you can think of: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/originalfunko-new-information-avalanche-new-reaction-and-legacy-announced/ And it doesn't even include Guardians of the Galaxy series 2, which was announced over at Marvel.com, and includes this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 So, basically they're making everything Sesame Street will be a big hit in our house. My girlfriend is a massive fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimate-Maniac Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I really like these, but after getting jipped on eBay i cannot look at them without getting flustered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah - after my White Phoenix never arrived, i got little bit jaded about them.... but i still can't resist some of the new x-men designs coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Pops can be really frustrating to collect. I only cherry pick, and I'm not too invested, so I've only paid a premium for one or two, but the prices some of these go for is insane. When I was at C2E2 this spring (the last big con I attended) I was hoping to pick up a few of the ones I'm missing. But, even though these were everywhere, everyone had basically the same things. And the rare ones were all going for crazy money. I missed out on some of the DC ones that are now retired, and they are going for crazy money. Green Arrow sells for like $200. Green Arrow! It's nuts. The other thing with Funko is that they release lots of exclusives to different retailers without much warning. Many of these aren't at national chains either, but local comic book shops. I just saw that there's an unmasked Spider-Man that was at one comics shop, as well as a brown Wolverine. Good luck getting those. Many of our Minimate Multiverse compatriots would not handle being Pop collectors. "The new wave showed up at TRU three days ago, but mine doesn't have them yet! Now I'm going to have to pay five dollars more on eBay! This is the most unfair thing ever!" Yeah, Zap Comics exclusives would not go over well. The good thing about Pops are that they are usually not too hard to get right when they come out. You can order the X-Men ones from BBTS or Amazon or any other big retailer that will protect your investment. But I certainly don't recommend going to far down the Pop hole... madness lies that way.

Nessex Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 ahhhhh - so *that's* why your handle if 'hellpop' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Funko seems obsessed with creating scarcity and emphasizing the "chase" part of the hobby. It's my least favorite thing about them. I'd hate them with a passion if I was really serious about POPs. But then hardcore POP collectors are pretty crazy themselves; I've never seen a community so focused on the sheer number of figures you have in your collection.

hellpop Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If you needed another reason to believe Funko rules the universe, behold the Marvel Collector Corps: https://www.collectorcorps.com/ MAN would it be cool if they could get Minimates in there....

stack32 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 TNI has some pics from Funko's Toy Fair display. For POPs I think the most interesting are the Doctor Who figures: 12, 11, 10, and 4. There's also some pics of Deadpool's Chimichanga truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As does the Tomorrowland ReAction stuff, makes me hope they get on Disneys good side so they can do Indiana Jones one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Saw a guy on a fb group selling a reverse flash exclusive from wizard world dallas, they were asking for like $400! Was cool looking though for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I got him for about $45, I think. Which was still too much. I've also heard that they are rereleasing him, so you definitely don't want to pay four franklins for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I was in Hot Topic today and they had basically everything buy one get one 50% off, including Pops. They had two exclusive Doctor Who Pops in stock, 12 with a glove and spoon and 11 with a fez and mop, so I picked them up. I probably wouldn't have paid the full Hot Topic price for 12 but 11 is essential so I'm glad to get it at a more normal price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hot Topic runs that sale all the time. Honestly, I'd never buy anything there if it wasn't discounted, as the prices are high and I hate that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Do any of the vehicles work at all with minimates? like the Scarface convertible maybe? Any way to Los them and get the doors working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
