Funko Pops

Funko Fridays: Spice Racks For Pop Displays!

February 26, 2016

It’s Funko Friday! The theme for this week was Show & Tell but I wanted to change it up, again. The only new Pops I have are Agent Carter and Deadpool and I already did posts on them. Like most Pop collectors, I have them all over the place. I have them in my room (I live at home), in the living room, at work. I bet if I looked I could find one in my car. I don’t have never ending space though, and that was obvious on my desk at work. I had them all in a nice little line but was pretty much out of room for them. I have other goodies like framed art that take up space as well. I finally decided to do something about it and started poking around the internet to see what I could find. Basically, I knew I wanted something that had levels, that’s the only way I could “add” to the space I have. I had to go vertical! The main consensus was to use a spice rack. I’m picky though and wanted to make sure I bought one with the right amount of space for them to stand on. Some of them come with stands which means I needed something where the steps had some width. After doing tons of searching, I landed on the 3-Tier Acrylic Cabinet Organizer from The Container Store. One reason I picked this one over others was this review:

This item is a great riser for displaying Funko Pops on a bookshelf!

Yes, that is a legit review that was left! I couldn’t believe it. I actually laughed a little bit over it. Glad to see other collectors are out there helping their fellow Pop Fiends out. It was only $14.99 plus if you signed up for their email you got a 15% off coupon. Plus The Container Store is part of Ebates which means I earned some cash back! Shipping was a little high but if you have a store nearby, you can do a pick up option. And honestly, I’m sure you could find something similar at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, or some other random store. Enough blabbering, onto the photo!

There you go! It does the job perfectly! It’s a little longer than I was expecting but I’m horrible with picturing stuff like that, even with measurements. I’m still playing around with placement. I already moved the Game Stop Widow down a step, in order to see the shield. I might end up using all the levels, in order to space everyone out nicely that way everyone is 100% visible.

How do you store your pops? In box? On a shelf? In a display cabinet? Everywhere? Let me know in the comments!

Funko Friday: The Funko I Want Most

January 8, 2016

I took a bit of a break from the Friday posting prompts but I’m back! This week for Funko Fridays the topic of conversation is about The Funko I Want Most. This could be a never ending listing honestly but I’m going to stick with just one. I was at Hot Topic the other day when I finally saw the Ant-Man/Antony Pop out in the wild!

I grabbed it, uttering the words “I need this” as if I were my five year old nephew but then looked at the price. He was $33! I mean, it’s a large Pop and all but when you’re use to just paying $8-12, it’s a bit of a shock. I put him back down though because I remembered I had Hot Cash that kicks in a few weeks. If I use that I can pretty much get him for half off, as long as they still have him! He’s on Amazon for a bit cheaper but I don’t want to have to wait for him to arrive. Sometimes being an adult is hard.

What Funko do you want the most?

Funko Fridays: Have you scored any good Funko lately?

November 20, 2015

That sounds a bit dirty doesn’t it? *eyebrow wiggle* I try to keep my Funko buying to a minimum since I get the Collectors Corp box and I have a habit of putting them on my Christmas list. But sometimes something will catch my eye when I’m out. Recently I was at Hot Topic and picked up the exclusive Holiday Dancing Groot and the NYCC Exclusive Jack & Teddy from Nightmare Before Christmas. They were having their typical BOGO sale which means I had to buy two. That’s the law or something I think.

I can’t tell how you adorable the holiday Groot is. I love that he has snow on him! How cute is that? I know there are tons of Dancing Groot options out there but I think this one is a must have for your collection. I mean, just look at him!

I knew that HT was carrying the NYCC exclusives because I noticed them online around con time but I didn’t want to pay shipping and all that. Luckily he found his way to the stores and I was able to snag him. I love that he comes with Teddy and the look on his face! Both have really great paint jobs and have no issues standing on their own which can be a huge issue.

So, have you scored any great deals lately? Maybe on Ebay? Or at a convention?

Funko Fridays: If I Could Only Keep One Funko…

October 30, 2015

What a horrible question! How can we pick just one of our beloved Funkos?! I honestly sat here for a good chunk of time before coming up with an answer.

My answer would have to be my custom Burt Macklin Pop that I commissioned! I picked this Funko because it’s one of a kind and it’s the first time I had a custom Pop made. I can see myself getting a few more in the future. Autumn did a fantastic job on him. When I opened the box I was thrilled! He was just what I wanted! It would be great if Funko would put out a Parks & Rec line but this will have to work for now! As far as runners up, that would probably go to the Hulkbuster and the tiny Ant-Man Pop. They both came from Collectors Corp.

What’s your answer? Did it take you hours to pick just ONE? Click the banner below to learn more about Funko Fridays!

Funko Friday: Funko Collections I Want to Complete

October 23, 2015

There’s a new blogging prompt in town, Funko Friday! Finally, something for those of us who just can’t stop buying these things. This week it’s all about collections you want to complete. Man, talk about a loaded question.

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas

I have a few from this line but not that many when you think about it. I have Nightshade Sally, Pumpkin King Jack, and a regular Jack Skellington, but that’s it! This is a hard collection to keep up with because of all the variants they put out plus the convention exclusives. Hopefully I can slowly add to my more NMBC Pops to my ever growing collection.

2. Avengers: Age Of Ultron

I’m not doing too bad on this one. I have Black Widow, Hawkeye, Fading Vision (Target Exclusive), and Hulkbuster (Collectors Corp Box) plus Ultron himself. I almost picked up Scarlet Witch the other day but I’m trying to wait for a sale. I hope they end up making a Quicksilver because without him the group would feel a little weird. Has anyone heard anything about that?

4. Dancing Groot

I honestly need to own all things Baby Groot which means I need to own every single Pop that’s out there. At the moment I only have one but I feel like every few months a new Dancing Groot Pop is announced. He’s just too cute! I mean, look at him!

That’s it for this week! Be sure to click the banner below to learn more about Funko Fridays!
