I think it's both, personally. He was a decent part of the third book, and they did a fairly memorable scene for him in the movie. Of course, the mini being impossible to find increases any hype about new versions of him - pop, plushie, etc...!

Yeah, I had no idea how much that mini would blow up when I got lucky! And I thought series 1 was bad! Really glad they did this pop since so many people still need that mini!

Anyone else think that next year we need a thread on how to properly wrap funko products for presents?
Definitely think it is a needed topic next year!
We've got Valentine's Day coming up! Nothing says I love you like tracking down a hard to find pop in a mint box for your loved one, right?

...continuing with the slight off topic thread...
Love me some Golden Girls --> even named my (white) car Betty!
I guess it's never too late/early to start a thread...there's always the -Just thinking of you gift -the Happy Birthday gift -the Congrats on your Divorce (or Wedding) gift etc...
I mean, I'd have gotten my friend Buckbeak if she hadn't WAYYY cut back on the HP line. Just too many pops for her to keep up. Though I do think she should have made an exception for this one!
Everyone should be a fan of the GOlden Girls. Rose was always my favorite, and that only got reaffirmed when I saw Betty White at SDCC a few years back! That lady is a hoot!
There are so many potential topics for the gift thread - price limits for different relationship types, in box vs. oob, gift bags vs. wrapping paper, mint boxes vs. dinged.... We could probably get through another year in this thread!

That Buckbeak Pop looks so amazing! She totally should have made an exception for that one.
I used to watch reruns of Golden Girls every day while I was in college, such a fantastic group of gals!

Roughly $12 for the pop compared to the insanity of whatever the mini is currently going for? Absolutely!

Hmm... If you decide to sell non-locally, let me know. There are a few pieces I need to get.

Man that's some real dedication right there. Especially if it's going to be mint!

It's the ones you expect the least to blow up with popularity. Plus, you can enjoy it in a bigger version too!
, got asked by a teenager in the store if I'd seen any Buckbeak pops (she saw the pile I was accumulating!). Told her that, in our area, she'd probably have to try for it online at this point. hpellot wrote:I have to agree the Harry Potter set is massive at this point

So true! I'm always fascinated when pops I think will be super rare are on clearance somewhere, or pops I bought on a whim that are insanely hard to find and blow up in price!
Speaking of....just in case anyone still needs commons from the last HP wave, I got an absolute steal on them at my local Go Calendars! Can't beat them at 1/2 off right now!

Lol that's why I had to Google it myself... No idea who or what it is

Doesn't show any sign of slowing down, either!

I don't know about that...depending on how much it costs in the secondary market, I am on occasion willing to settle for a dinged box!

I don't ever see this slowing down. There is such a big following.

Same. Usually I'll be fine with compromising and taking them out of the box anyways

Yes it's crazy. I was really surprised by how much Ursula skyrocketed in price after a while. I also remembered people weren't crazy about the Friends pops when they first came out but they became insanely popular once Funko said you couldn't have them anymore.
, we'll have to check back in next year and see what pop Buckbeak has done!

I used to be so horrified at pops being oob, but I'm getting more and more okay with it. Just had this discussion today, actually, as I was 'rescuing' some homeless pops from a storage bin at my local collector swapmeet place. And I have to admit, the displays always look amazing!

Probably not, since I think HP brings in even the non-pop collectors! HP keeps growing with each year as a new batch of 1st years is enrolled at Hogwarts!
