First Pop Ever

Postby funko_flyboy » Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:43 am

Just curious to see
1. What was your first Pop ever and what got you into them?
mine was a gift and it was Cable. One of my favorite x-men characters, but the one that got me into collecting was Ultimate Warrior.

My first was Arya Stark, but I didn't start collecting until a year later when the Doctor Who line came out.

Gosh, I cannot recall what my first pop was for the life of me, but I do know that this all started for us when I bought my wife a couple pops for her bday. She started looking into them more, and then we got hooked when the 12 days of xmas hit. The rest is history after that, lol

The OG Avengers Nick Fury was my 1st. A few weeks later I found a shop in my area that had all types of pops and when I saw how much different stuff they made I was hooked.

My mom bought me the 4 ninja turtles many years ago for my birthday. I thought they were cool, but didn't really start collecting then. Then the Fifth Element Pops came out and my mom also bought those for me and that's what started it all lol

I kept seeing them in different stores and would always look through them. But I also told myself (and my wife) that if I ever bought one, it would be downhill from there. And I held to that. However, she decided to get me some for Christmas that year anyway. They were Marty McFly, Doc Brown, Unmasked Darth Vader, and Harley Quinn (I don't remember which one). And, as predicted, it has been all downhill. lol

Prior to that, she did have the 4 Ninja Turtles herself already for some weird reason, but they were in storage or something.

My first Funko POP was Batman in the clear dome from SDCC. Wasn't that impressed at first. I let my nephew open it and play with it. DOH!

My first Pop was Jimmy Cricket. I was struggling a bit at work with some people above me not doing their job appropriately so my partner got him to remind myself to “let your conscience be your guide” and don’t let what they were doing bring me or my work down. It worked and I’ve been hooked ever since.

WWE AJ Lee Pop was my first, that was going to be the only one too, then I discovered there were Mass Effect Pops and got Garrus, then looked more into them and discovered Deathstroke and Green Arrow, soon after that it spiraled out of control.

I started in December of 2014. I got the Joker-Batman from Lootcrate. I remember the first Pops I bought at Hot Topic were the GITD Jesse Pinkman and the GITD Frankenstein. Very shortly thereafter I got the 6" Stay Puft and Slimer.
