Will we ever see a mixed media pop? For example maybe a Conan the barbarian pop with a chrome sword and flocked furry underoos?

My favorite type of variant has to be the metallic variants, I'm not too huge on the chrome variants since it's usually all just one color that's chromed. I just love how smooth and glossy they look, especially when they're displayed with other metallic pops

I would initially say GITD but since I don't see my pops in the dark they often just look like the regular version. Based on that i'd say a good metallic is probably the best bang for my buck.

I have to say between all variants metallic pops have always been awesome to be and a super close second is GITD the glow they can get into some of these pops is AMAZING!

GITD is also my favourite. Though I agree that it's annoying be when it's just one small area (I dont know why they bothered with the Shazam one), I still enjoy the ones that make sense like Goose Flerken.

After glow, I really like the metallic (not chrome) variants

Glow In The Dark is my favorite by far but Metallic pops are really cool, especially when well done like the Metallic Skeletor I have.

I would actually like to see more scented pop variants but not like Strawberry Shortcake, more like Garbage Pail Kids and weird stuff like that. The MOTU Stinkor for example is really cool!

I think I'd have to say GitD, but I think that's more a case of not liking the other variants all that much. The one that would easily be my favourite if they did more of them would be scented! Strawberry Shortcake is fantastic, as an example.

OH, I forgot about neon!
Also not sure if this counts as a variant but I appreciate the sofubi looking products that Funko use to push out. Hakari's are a cool example of this but also the see-through, glittery wobblers and limited Freddy's that have been made in the past.
