AP/Proto Loungefly?
I was curious if there were AP/Protos of Loungefly bags? I've never seen one but doesnt mean they are not out there. What do people think?

I doubt it. I would think it would just be drawing. Would be interesting if they did have AP's for these

Re: AP/Proto Loungefly?
I know I’m probably overthinking this, and am probably the only one, but what does the AP stand for?

I don't think so - they are different from pins. Pins you have to see how colors bled, or how certain features go. With an AP Bag - they would make probably the one - but I don' think they do that with many. They are more expensive than pins to do, so they sketch and run the order.
To my knowledge, there is no way to know, since bags don't get numbered, unless there is a huge color difference, and then it's one or two at the most.

They usually have "samples" which are, to my understanding the equivalent to a proto. We got the Venom Loungefly backpack Sample at the HQ holiday party last year. It's a really cool thing to own!

The sample you received, is there any difference from the actual loungefly production bagpack.

Re: AP/Proto Loungefly?
For clothing brands when they do sample sales, I believe those are like their artist proofs/protos. I knew ppl who worked at some companies like stussy, freshjive etc. They look just like the production piece unless they changed something on the final design which usually wasn’t anything major. So I think samples are the closest thing to AP or protos but I don’t think as valuable or rare like either funko pops or sodas. Would still be a cool thing to have tho.

Re: AP/Proto Loungefly?
There absolutely is. Also for plush too!! Artist Samples, Artist Proofs. There is many ive seen but I live around Funko and have met many artists that have been selling some. Some look very close to the production. Some look way different because they then changed the design or print which is really cool.

Re: AP/Proto Loungefly?
This reminds me of a time years ago that I bought some shorts at a sample sale from a very well known surf company. I was at a concert and the completely fell apart! Luckily I had a long shirt and a jacket I could tie around my waist!

I'm sure some have AP simply for quality control but I don't think they would hand these out for they would only want the public to have the final product.

Re: AP/Proto Loungefly?
Yes they have Samples. This is a proof. A few were given out at C2E2. I’ve seen samples in several LF/funko lines: bags, plush, clothing, etc
They have hand-written tags that state it is a sample. 5$3 production info, etc.
I’ve seen two McFlurry sample bags posted since the weekend.

OMG, how cool. I think it would be interesting to see the difference between the proofs, samples versus the final production look.

Would be cool to own an AP loungefly, i wonder if there is a market for them or if they are too far and few that those who have them just keep them long term
