Hello everyone,
my name is Felix and this is my first post. I'm a new collector, I got into Pop! when I first saw the Avenger set@ Target and now I'm really going crazy for them. I have been reading this forum quite a bit and have gotten tons of great information (especially the one about the $5 Pop! from Disney, what perfect timing!). I also have purchased the DC series 3 set since then. Being very new to the world of Pop! I have a few questions:
1. I'm very interested in doing some custom Pop!(mostly painting over existing Pop!) but am afraid of the legal infringement issue i have so often read on websites. if someone can share some insight on it, I'd really appreciate that.
2. I went thru 3 different B/N yesterday and didn't find any Chase that people are talking about on the forum. My question is, how often does one find a Chase in stores like B/N, Target, Toysrus, Bestbuy and etc? or I just have to buy them online?
Thank you and I can't wait to share all my exciting Pop! experience with you all!

Re: New collector
Hi, Felix. From all the customs being done by Funatics over the past year, I'm not aware of any legal infringement issues.
As for Chase - it's all just a matter of luck and making friends with the folks at the stores. Although I'm not the one to be giving advice on this - I've only found one chase "in the Wild" ever since I've started to collect Funko 7 years ago.
But, many folks here have had way more luck than I.
Have Fun!!!!

Re: New collector
I think most companies overlook fan customs, unless people are selling lots of them. I remember a while back some guy was doing amazing customs of a super hero, and was selling them, he had to shut it down because he was contacted by lawyers. Again I don't know the exact laws, but customizing pops is great fun.

Re: New collector
Hi Felix! My names Sean, and I'm brand new to the forum also, but not new to Funko or collecting, it's all up to chance at finding a Chase, I actually ran into a Chase batman at a local Journeys shoe store the other day of all places!
I wish you luck in finding a chase!
Since I'm brand new to the forum as well I don't know if I'm the one to say it, but welcome to the forum! ^_^

I've never seen a Pop! at Toys R Us or Best Buy. I've only found a chase in the wild at Hot Topics and Barnes & Noble.

Re: New collector
Target doesn't carry any pops that have chases right now. they just have the new spider-man and the avengers on clearance. toys r us only carries the avengers in store -- again no chases -- but they do have some DC ones online. you could try your luck, i suppose. i have only heard of best buy carrying star wars pops -- another line with no chases -- and even then i think it was only in canada maybe.
i've found 5 chases... 2 at frys, 2 at a local toy store and 1 at b&n. there really isn't any trick, because it's so random. there's no guarantee that a particular store ever gets a chase in any shipment, so it's really just about persistance.

Thanks for the info! definitely good, and yes I went to two different Toysrus today and they got nothing except a spiderman pop! I found the selection at BnN a lot better!
