He does not because he doesn’t fly from what I understand. I was lucky enough to have him in Seattle last year so I took advantage the one day he was here and bought two autos. He couldn’t of been nicer and I had him sign a common one and his unmasked Comic-Con one. Definitely one of the favorites of my entire collection as well

I love my collection, but the black and white Harrison Collectibles Harley Quinn, the Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor, and Jawa all make me very happy. The Mayor and Harley were gifts from my husband, lonewolf72. The Jawa was my first Pop ever and was "purchased" with tickets at Dave and Busters. It's the one that started all this craziness. lol

Wow that’s interesting! I really want to meet him in person and I live in the city he grew up in, so hoping he’ll do one of the local cons here at some point.

My pride and joy is Boba Fett (1st Appearance) Pop. Bought it at a local convention shortly after it was released at SDCC. He's my favorite character and I couldn't imagine a better version than this. Rarity, LE:480, played no part in this.

Jolibee and original Jamie Lannister were pops I got as gifts from some awesome people. Definitely ones that I’m very fond of and make me happy.

Yeah he was really great with all of his fans. His line was a super long wait because he took the time to interact with every person that came across his table. Probably the nicest celebrity I’ve met at any con yet, Hope I get another chance to meet him again someday.

Yea I’ve heard the same thing from many folks about when they met him. Really awesome when celebs take the time to interact, especially with the waits we have to wait sometimes

The collecting gene has definitely been inherited by both of my boys. It’s incredibly fun to watch them

I know he’s not worth a whole ton but my Manny Pacqiuao Pop still makes me smile. My fiancé camped out for it at the BAIT store and surprised me with it when I got home.

Postby **binarykaos** » Sun May 05, 2019 8:28 pm

The pop that has made me the most happy is that we get not one but multiple Kevin Smith Pops! I am looking forward to Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and hoping we get some new pops from that line too!

Glow in the dark doc brown made me very happy about two years ago and it completed my set of bttf at that time

Agree 100%. Especially with what we end up paying on top of the wait. I understand the need to be quick but when I’m paying $75-$200 for a few seconds of your time, I at the very least expect a little courtesy. Grant was one of the very few I’ve ever seen to go a little above and beyond for every person he came across that day so it is a refreshing change.

Multiple instances can always make one happy, not like there is finite supply of happiness ;-)

Honestly this whole thread with every instances of happiness just brings a smile so that makes me happy!

Long story very short. Waited for my 1pm time slot around 5 A.M. Saturday and they only had 3 left. I was first then some “ADA’s” showed up 3 min before 1 pm and the Funko staff sold the 3 chromes to the people that lined up earlier that day. I talked to some Great funatics in Seattle while we waited for the Booth time slot.

My Freddy Yoda. Went through a lot to get him. First one never showed up and had some back and forth to get refund. Second one came from New Zealand and the wait was excruciating. I did a happy dance when he came and I opened him up!

I was actually going to say the same pop.

A friend put me in contact with a friend of his that was selling for an awesome price, and I couldn’t pass it up.

There was a slight worrying period during the whole negotiations, but it all worked out in the end and I am super stoked to have him.

One Pop comes to mind for me.. my Muppet's Kermit 01. I was at Frank & Sons in Southern California. and guy leans over and says.. "you should buy the Kermit.. he will be vaulted soon". So I picked him up for $10 bucks. Still have him in my collection.

Postby **El_PANDA** » Wed May 08, 2019 1:22 am

The pop that made me extremely happy came from a raffle. I have extremely bad luck with raffles so I stopped trying to participate in them so often. However I came across this raffle that had one of my grails that I had been in search of for a long time which was lotso and I decided to test my luck. Behold! I was lucky enough to win it and I was extremely happy about that so in the end I only paid about $20-30 if i remember correctly for the pop

Good job, though I had Kermit but lost him in an intense poker game.

When I opened up my Baby with Sam shipment from Hot Topic and saw it was the Chase. My first chase ever in the mail. And with me being a huge Supernatural fan it was the perfect addition to the collection.

SDCC metallic Captain America!

Postby **Angology** » Wed May 08, 2019 10:48 am

Mine would White Raven from Teen Titans Go. I wasn't collecting hardcore when it came out, and I hesitated when the prices started rising. I never thought I would have her, but I got her at a reasonable price in excellent condition from a Facebook group member. Still makes me smile.

Of the more common, the gold Shenron is so beautiful. I don't even collect that line or watch the show, but I love that one and display him OOB on the mantle, where I can see him all of the time, rather than in the back rooms where I display most of my collection.

Oh, and my set of Babymetal Pops-I never imagined they would make them, and I am still so happy that they did!
