Have you ever....

[Katers]

I have gifted them, not so much because I wanted that person to start collecting, but more because I know it's their favorite character. Like my best friend would never collect, it's not her thing and she hates "clutter" but she loves the Maleficent pops I have given her. LOL

My BFF is the same - she doesn't want to start collecting, but she's always very glad when I gift her a Captain Carter Funko item - pops, sodas and minis so far!

That is a good way to go about it!

I figure one or two a year is the way to slowly ease her over to the dark side! Or would that be the pop side?

For sure have gifted some Funko POPS back in the day to get them really into the game like I am. Gave some Cowboy Bebop... some signed Stan Lee OG Avengers and even some wobblers. They still collect, but very far, few, and inbetween. Was able to convert some convention buddies to get into the Funko Family after they were invited to Fundays. That will convert anyone...

Can't move too fast, or you spook the skittish!

I’ve given POPs as presents many times to ppl who don’t collect. Great thing about it is there’s pretty much POPs for everybody. We all connect to something in pop culture. For me it’s always put a smile on the face of the receiver. Reminds them of something special brings them back to being a kid.

This made me chuckle at the start of my work day. Thanks for that.

Agreed, they are also a nice thing for people to add to their office.

My pleasure!

I've been pretty entertained hearing how everyone has given pop presents, and how well (or not!) it's worked to spread the joy of Funko. Makes me feel better about my gifting habits!

[Universal_ghost]

I've gifted a few people. My gf did get into collecting after I got her some and I have a co-worker who follows me on insta and sees I collect them and now he is finding one's he likes I might get him one as a gift and see if he starts collecting

[DougieFresh_83]

I gifted a few Star Wars POPs to my brother for Christmas one year.

Not because I wanted him to get into collecting, I just didn't know what I wanted to get him, and I was short on time haha.

[MarkyMark]

I gifted my cousin many horror pops but still hasn't bought any on his own.

They are a great last minute gift idea.

Hmm, might be a good idea for getting rid of some of the duplicates I have that don't sell well.

Great line to start with!

[Serch_na]

My girlfriend was resilient to collecting and still is, but I already managed to give her her first Pop, the legally blond one with the cup, everyone have their weakness

[Brutesquad]

I have gifted POPs, sodas, and even Dorbz to non collectors, but not with the intention of converting them...although they did eventually come around hehe

It is fun to share your passion with others, glad they came around!

Even for the non collectors I think they are a great conversation starter at work by having one or two on your desk.

I started getting into pops years ago and my family would buy Funko pops for me as gifts. I then tried to get them interested into collecting by getting them pops I thought they would like. No luck.

Great set up, I like the combination of ones out of the box and ones still in the box. I only have one on my work desk at the office at this time (the Freddy in SDCC gear given out at Hall H last year) but my home office is another story.

Oh god, this just gave me anxiety to look at how dusty the ones must be in my office at home...

They can get pretty dusty, especially for me here in Las Vegas since I live in the desert!

I can't imagine dealing with that much dust. I struggle with enough dust as is!

I gave a Tanjiro pop to my sister in law and now she wants all the demon slayer ones

Can be an expensive hobby and maybe there’s a challenge in actually tracking down the funko

[mouth662]

I've given a few away as presents because I know they like the character not really trying to get them to start collecting, but a few have as a result of gifts. I also really began my collection because of a gift my gf (now wife) gave me years ago, she bought me a groot and seymour from little shop of horrors the rest is a pain in my bank account

[rontonsoup]

I’ve gifted pops to my family and some friends.

My sister turned into a hoarder if that counts haha everyone else collects very little. My sister was the only one that started becoming a collector. Oh yeah, and my wife’s sister and fiancé.

[spider-man_616]

I was curious if anyone here has ever given someone a Pop! in hopes they would start collecting. I have definitely gifted a fair share of them but I don't think I have converted any into Funatics up to this point.

i didn't gift a pop to someone but i've definitely got two of my friends into the funko craze by showing them pops of franchises they loved

I am very proud (I laugh as I say this) to influence my best friends to start collecting Pops! At first, I gave them a pop and a pop shirt as gifts and giggles, but they loved it, and now, they *hate* (not really) for it

[o2thedbld5]

It sometimes is hard to convert someone into collecting as much as I do because of the monetary and time commitments. However, I'd say I have given Funko products to a couple friends who have now started to collect at least a few they like. I would remind them that Funko will always have something for anything you're a fan of. When they find that, it feels rewarding to me that I have helped them appreciate what Funko does for its community.

It is always fun to bring more friends along to a Con. Everyone can always use a friend in line.

When their birthdays roll around its a perfect small little gift to get them.
