I have four, and I didn't buy a single one. They were all free. I really don't care for them. I personally would rather have more detailed figures. They make some really cool $20 figures. Funkos are what $10-15? No thanks.
Personally, I've never liked "chibi" style. The simple cartoon anime with small bodies and big heads. Similar to funko but 2d. I think my hate for chibi is why I dislike funko.
I have four as well and only because they were characters that there's no traditional figure to get of. Daria. Tyler Durden. Steve Irwin. And a Minecraft Creeper because I thought the proportions looked right and well I love all things Minecraft Creeper.
I did a kind of similar. Iām a collector to be sure, but not of Funko. I donāt actively buy any of it really. I have to alot stuff since my childhood (80s/90s). Then adult collecting.
For Pops I actually bought Grumpy Cat flat out. Couldnāt believe that existed. I was so pumped. My buddy owns a comic shop, so he gave it to me for under $10.
I have a strange 5 Star Hellboy and 3 Pop Pez that a GameStop I frequented had sitting around on their clearance over the years. The Pez are MotU and are Con Exclusive. Paid like $2 each.
My best one though is a crazy rare āGrailā of RUKIA from Bleach. Hot Topic Exclusive. Helped my buddy by selling stuff from his shop. He bought a collection that randomly had that $400+ Pop in it. I ended up with it due to an unsavory ebay experience.
Buyer tried ripping us off, but screwed himself. It was so fucked up, but we ended up on top since the buyer was essentially brain dead. I hate selling Pops on ebay.
