What's the first pop you got and do you Still have it?

Postby Joker3346 » Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:25 am

I just got back My first pop after a decade of trading to a buddy. Eventually got him to sell it back to me and it means so much. It's orginal penguin. It has a tag on the bag to hold it up on a rack. Just a cool way to see how old it is lol.

Don't remember the first pop I ever got, but one of the earliest and most memorable was a 10" metallic Buzz Lightyear that was signed by the designer. Sadly, I don't have it anymore.

My first was Arya Stark in 2014 and I definitely still have her. I always wanted to get it signed by Maisie Williams, so I hope she does a con someday.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

My first with most anything is my guy Spider-man! I still have him on display next to all my other versions, variations and whatnot. That said, when I was selling my self-published book at SDCC, funko had staff walk around to us and hand us create-your-own nodnicks. I still have that.

The OG Dr. Doom. He is my all time favorite character and I do still have him to this day. If I could ever get any of the Dr. Doom protos, I'd never need another. LOL

I still have my first pops. I am very selective with what I buy and only buy the ones I like. My collection is relatively small.

Groot definitely seems to be the gateway Pop for many. I got my first Pop (Groot) using points from Disney Movie Insiders quite a few years ago.

Mando is the first pop I scored for myself. My son already collected some game-pops. After my first Mando, I chased the whole Pennywise line, all pops. And I still have all of them and they probably leave the house last for what reason.
