So for discussion’s sake nobody on these boards has an issue with such a cult following kind of figure being this difficult to obtain because a Funko retailer/distributor decided they needed to clear unwanted inventory? Not hating, fully understand the business justifying the action but still...damn! Couldn’t it have been a super limited Spastik instead?! LMAO!
Funko isn’t just pops, it’s an idea that could lead the world to something better!

Up vote. Gold Hopper (a pointless variant with no connection to source material) this is not. These are integral variants to a beloved character's story, of interest to many people outside of the hobby insider/rare piece crowd. I will never understand why they decided to make these so rare. It makes me a little sick to think how many of these will end up sealed in hard protectors in the grail display/vault of people who could not care less about the show instead of giving tons of P&R fans some OOB smiles.

Please don't take offense to this but I'm sorry, I have to take a little umbrage with this comment. Whether these end up in people's collection that couldn't care less about the show, who cares if they don't? People can collect what they want, they shouldn't be admonished for it. I don't believe being more of a fan entitles anyone to something more than someone else.

I don't think I was admonishing any of the collectors. I intended it as an admonishment of Funko. Based on the way this particular product was made and released, it was clearly not meant as a collectible for fans of the show, and as someone who fell in love with Funko Pops as an expression of my fandoms, rather than an investment or some zero sum game to be won, it saddens me to see a show I loved used in this way.

I don't think this is a case where Funko just decided to make a super rare pop and give it to a distributor. The pics of this have been floating around for over a year. If I remember correctly, there wasn't a Parks and Rec line yet at all when Andy in mouse rat shirt was first seen. My theory is they were supposed to come out for HQ grand opening with a few other 500 piece pops and the release got cancelled for some reason. They gave leftover stock to Fugitive to release however they wanted. It could even be that Funko doesn't have the Parks and Rec licence so they can't officially sell Andy on their own. Maybe that's why he's only technically given away in mystery boxes. But that's pure speculation.

It sucks but Funko hasn't done a lot of really limited piece counts in awhile. I don't think they purposely did this to Parks and Rec fans.

If that were true, wouldn't it be nice to hear Funko say that?

I can clearly see your disdain with blind boxes and waffles. lol lol lol


ahahaha i've only ever gotten guaranteed value boxes, but i'm done with that since i've gotten way too many things i've not wanted for a chance at that grand prize lol lol Better to focus that money into the actual pop i want. I do hate waffles though, breaks my heart when i see something good getting sold by a waffle x.x

I missed the $100 box, but got a $25 box. I wonder when they'll begin shipping.

Same with waffles... like I'll just pay the aftermarket price to guarantee it if I want it that bad.

I totally feel you when it comes to mystery box. It's a freaking gamble. The money spent could have just used collectively for the pop.


This is my feeling as well. Although if I ever scored on a mystery box...I would probably feel differently haha


Soooo mystery box for your this weekend? or a few?

Nope. If there is a POP I want that I can't get, then nobody should get it. Be prepared to destroy all of your 1/12 Bloody Freddy Lannisters people!

The Gold Hopper is in a whole new stratosphere in that line. These 2 Andys are variant of his character over the show but not a Chrome/gold/silver Pop. Would’ve been better had it been a few thousand run.

I don't think you can really compare this to the gold Hopper from Fundays because it doesn't really compare when it's doesn't fundamentally mean anything to the show. Hopper is never doused in gold. Although I know there are some super completionists who will want absolutely everything from a particular line or show, no matter what. I'm only a kind of completionist because I want my pieces to mean something from the show or something. The only chrome piece I own is a Freddy. He can be whatever he wants. Haha.

Mouse Rat and Johnny Karate are basically essential to Parks & Rec. It would be nice if Funko did make some kind of variant for these molds, though. Johnny Karate also had a black robe in some episodes. I'd be okay with that. It's kind of hard to have a variant of the Mouse Rat t-shirt, though, and he wore it in so many episodes. Hopefully it wouldn't make those mad who ended up with the more rare exclusives, but I'd like to see some variants! =oP

Not to mention we seriously need the whole crew. Need Donna, Ben, Ann, Chris, Jerry Garry, and more.

Up vote. Gold Hopper (a pointless variant with no connection to source material) this is not. These are integral variants to a beloved character's story, of interest to many people outside of the hobby insider/rare piece crowd. I will never understand why they decided to make these so rare. It makes me a little sick to think how many of these will end up sealed in hard protectors in the grail display/vault of people who could not care less about the show instead of giving tons of P&R fans some OOB smiles.


Please don't take offense to this but I'm sorry, I have to take a little umbrage with this comment. Whether these end up in people's collection that couldn't care less about the show, who cares if they don't? People can collect what they want, they shouldn't be admonished for it. I don't believe being more of a fan entitles anyone to something more than someone else.


I kinda agree with you on that. There are people that collect Grails and ultra hard to find pieces and collect them just because of their rarity.

Hi, I’m Rob. I love being a Funatic and my biggest fandoms are ad icons and Freddys as characters sprinkled in with a few random things. Also I am big into collecting POP! Pez. I hope to make as many friends on here as I can. Always great meeting other Funatics

I tried for one at the con and struck out,
Walking Dead Super Fan, collector of random sets, Harry Potter, Star Wars, horror, Disney, and a few other here and there. Funko Funclub member. Have luckily attended Fundays, collecting since early 2000’s.
