Who the hell wants a funko pop of a dirtyass city pigeon? No, nobody really wants it, but it's a limited con exclusive. Guarantee it sells out. anyone else kind of slowing down on these things? i feel like there's just a million POPs of everything and more "exclusives" than ever before. No to mention where to go to get them all? it seems like every walmart & target has had the same ones for the last 8 months, then they get a shipment of half a dozen exclusives only...the scalpers pick them all up to make $1 profit on ebay, rinse repeat. Plus there's 10" POPs all the over the place that nobody wants. i know places like hot topic, B&N & FYE are good with selection but they are few and far in between. i dunno i havent bought a lot recently and i just feel like the landscape is so different now than when i started collecting these things a few years ago I've slowed down a lot for sure. I still really like the ones that I really like, but I've become super selective. Pops that I would have bought immediately a year or two ago, I now pass on. I don't really have much difficulty locating anything, even exclusives, it's just the sheer amount that is being released. I'm sure lack of space has contributed a lot to my lessening interest as well.

I am just glad I didn’t buy the Antonio Brown Raiders POP. Same. I was definitely going to at some point if he was on the team.

I was never huge into them but have a good 40-50 I think. There’s just not much out there for me. They seem to just focus on super hero stuff with Marvel and DC now or doing some shows over and over. They need to get new liscenses.

Just got this in the mail, I’m not a huge POP guy just due to the thousands that are out there to collect so I pick up the occasional WWE ones and random ones I like. Still need to get the Pokemon ones so that’s next on the list, haha. But I really like this set, one of the first ones I bought, had to sell it due to money issues so I’m really happy to have got it again. I was watching a listing at £49.99 and it seemed a wee bit too expensive but thank god for eBays offers, ended up getting an email from the seller with an offer of £37.99 so I bought it at that. Its a really nice looking set so glad to get it 😊

They need to get new liscenses. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Funko doesn't have enough licenses. I mean, a lot of the biggest movies the past two years have all been superhero movies, and this year is Batman's 80th annversary, so of course there's going to be a lot of comic related stuff coming out. But they've been doing a ton of 80's movies, anime, and other stuff that I never thought I'd see them do. What would you realistically want to see them take on?

On WF Pod Ryder mentioned that a metallic Rock pop is coming to Target. Is there any news about this anywhere?

There were some of the Nickelodeon lines that never got finished. I’d like more of those. I guess you’re right, they have a lot but just not a lot that have interested me lately

I'd be really happy with a Tuco, Angel Eyes & Blondie from "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly".
Or some "Django Unchained" figures.

A cool, special edition three pack, could be the three with their hands at their holstered guns, or their guns drawn, to re-create the Mexican standoff.

Could be a combination of fan demand and how well the initial run sold. Look how long it took them to bring the Simpsons back. I'm still waiting for more Futurama, Fezzik and Vizzini from Princess Bride, and Janitor and Carla from Scrubs, and I'd love to see them do Archer, Red Dwarf, How I Met Your Mother, The Loud House, Dick Tracy, Beastie Boys, Fresh Prince, and The Mask.

I wanted them to do Adam Sandler movies for the longest and for them to make more Ad Icons. I think I’m mostly just losing interest though and realize they’ll be nothing more than the current beanie babies and I’ll just end up throwing them in a box

Got the "super size" Andre The Giant yesterday. Wasn't expecting it to find it where I did. I was in Forbidden Planet asking about it, (I picked up a Ric Flair while I was there so it wasn't a bust, but I opened it before I snapped a pic of it), and they said they didn't know if they were getting it. I left there and went to the shopping centre and went into The Entertainer, which is a toy shop that got in the Special Edition Charlotte Flair, and low an behold they had one Andre. It was only £15 which I couldn't believe as I was sure I was gonna have to pay at least £24.99 for it. Anyway, its a really cool figure and I eventually found a place for it in my display so I'm really happy with it.
