LE low numbers to me is better than Prototypes. I loving having what others don't, but I hate paying for it! So low numbers is a love hate relationship.

Hey, hope all is well. I moved and don’t run into many of the boardies any more. Have you considered started a proto trading thread? That may help finding some new homes for ones you are less interested in.

I know last fundays we got 100 and 250 which was some good low pieces in a long time :cheers:

It was great until Funko decided to put a bunch in the boxes at home. I wonder what direction the new CEO is going to take

Yea it was a bad situation for everyone, i was one of those that got metallic cap, but at the moment i was so happy and had a blast at the event. Super worth it

I missed out on tickets for last year, but was lucky to attend the prior year. Just being there and getting some exclusives is just so much fun. I know there were some controversies last year, but I am really hoping to get tickets this year. Will see what happens!

Both are great to be able to have, I like my Freddy pops even if they aren't really low numbered. I have never had a prototype though.

So excited that it is back at the Hyatt, although I don't think we will get protos since it is still around the same attendance as last year, just spread out over 2 nights. If I had my choice I would want a proto over a low LE Freddy. When I have gone in the past when they had both I always got a proto where I never was lucky enough to get the low le Freddy.

I prefer a LE Freddy over getting a proto. Although I love protos, most of the protos I got from events are from lines I dont really collect or know anything about.

I have LE Freddy’s already but what I don’t have is a proto. I was so disappointed not getting one at Fundays last year but I’m sure there’s one out there waiting for me.

I kinda like the protos. Even though i don't collect them, I can usually trade them for the low LE pops I want.
Since I rarely ever get lucky enough to score a low LE pop.

I think it all depends on which one you want more. I traded my entire fright night box to a friend for their hatsune miku soda chase proto since I wanted that more.

I wanted to pick your brains. We all know not a lot of protos were given away at fundays this year ,but I’ve noticed this thread on social Media funatics wanting to trade their nice personal protos for the Freddy glow as Anakin from Star Wars. My question is do you funatics prefer a nice Low LE count Freddy as a character from Marvel, Anime or Star Wars? Or rather have a Prototype?

Personally I Love Freddy’s more than prototypes, I am a sucker for Freddy’s as a Marvel Character. :freddy3:

What’s your Take? :freddy2:


Freddy Protos would be ideal.
But I'm curious if there will be some Franny Protos as well.

Hmm depends on the IP attached the Prototype or low edition production pieces...I'd prolly prefer a prototype over the production piece just because of the history attached...if you're choosing one over the other purely based on value I think there's no solid answer because not every prototype is super valuable and not every low count item is highly sought after...so many variables go into making your decision lol

In generally I prefer to have a lower LE Freddy but it all depends on the molds. I only like about half the Freddy's they come out with there is just to many. But to have a proto of the pop you love. Cant say anything beats it especially if you get lucky and win it from an event

Last year's Fundays was my first so I've never gotten a proto. My preference depends on what IP the proto or low number LE is, i.e., would rather have something I'm a fan of. Bonus points if it's GITD =D>

Proto for me! I like uniqueness of protos and assume they’re an even lower count than LE Freddies. But if the Freddy were one of my absolute favorite characters, then I’d take that over a proto whose character I’m not familiar with.

-Attend Fundays

I have both and I like both. If it’s a proto of something I collect, Spidey or Star Wars, I get excited! If it’s a low count and I can add to my collection and display I get excited. Both have their place for me!!

Definitely a lower LE, if it’s something sentimental then maybe a proto.

There's definitely low numbered Freddy's I'd want but if both were sitting in front of me and I had to choose only one I'd go proto
