Favorite COMMON Pop and why?

Postby 2017fanatic » Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:44 pm

I'm curious, I know we all like our exclusives and chases...but I'm wondering what everyone's favorite common is and why?

Something that you would never let go of...non-chases, non-con exclusives, no limited quantities, no stickers, etc... :)

For many as I write this post, it could be a Tenya pop because they love the anime or maybe because it shot up in value, to each his own, but I'm curious what everyone else's is and why?


For me, it is the common Jon Snow that started my collection, gf gave it to me bc we love the show and it basically started my whole love for Funko ;-)

Your turn!

Mine is She-ra since she was the first Pop I ever got. More recently would be Jem. Jem and She-ra all my all time favorite cartoon characters from when I was a kid and I would never part with either of those.

I'll go with the Joker and Harley beach 2 pack. Love the detail and it's kind of close to the comic cover.

Nick Wilde because he was one of my first pops and I love the character. And also Todoroki because his design is just so freaking cool. I was shocked it wasn't an exclusive.

Todoroki does look really cool! something about the attention to detail on design for a lot of these pops that make them so cool!

Up until recently I would have said the OG Jack Skellington. Many versions have been done for him, but I still prefer the original. Plus he was my first Pop!. However now I'd have to go with the new mermaid Ariel. She is so much better than the original. I love that they gave her a stand so that it looks like she is floating and included her bag too.

This is a really hard one for me to pick because I have so many commons that I love so much and would never get rid of. I think for me, I would have to go with Steamboat Willie from the 90th mickey pop wave release. I have really enjoyed the Mickey 90th anniversary pops they have made and released.

It's hard to say...
I started out with Batman (inadvertently bobble head - which doesn't have the Target Sticker) and Ariel.
But BF gave me Winnie the Pooh and Tigger as a gift around the same time and I'd never let those go-
(Batman and Ariel aren't vaulted or anything)

Tons of favorite commons and I don't think I can choose one so I'll do a favorite 5 lol

- She-Ra (no particular reason other than it was one of my first that I ever owned - traded it away and now back in my collection)
- Alan & baby Carlos (one of my favorite movie characters)
- Lion-O (i'm an 80's kid and Thundercats was one of my faves)
- Rachel Green - series 1 (I like Jennifer Anniston lol)
- Red Skull (one of the first Marvel figures I bought - and I like the look of it)

Well my favorite common of all time is Lotso, but obviously most people now see him as a grail.

Excluding expensive vaulted items I’d have to say it’s sackboy. LittleBigPlanet was my favorite game as a child, so it’s cool to have the little guy as a pop. Close second is just the common Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender for a similar reason: it was my favorite show as a child and teen.

OG He-man only because I grew up watching Masters of the Universe. He's not exclusive, stickered so I guess that makes him a common pop.

Favorite common would have to be the OG Ghost Rider. I think it just looks really cool and I was always a fan of the bulky and hands to the side look on Pops

So many to choose from. I'll go with Eleven from Stranger Things just because she looks so good. The Eggos, nosebleed, and dirt on her face are just perfect.

My firsts were mostly exclusives, so if I dont count those it would probably be Jack Torrance. Love the whole Shining line and even though I already own it, if I see one in the store I pick it up and carry it around for a bit :)

The very first pop I bought was Gus Fring with "damage!" It's still one of my favorites.

In recent years, my favorite common is the Dunharrow King aka King of the Dead in the LOTR series. It looks absolutely incredible
