Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
For me, I’m mad at myself for not grabbing SDCC exclusive DCTV CW unmasked Flash & common Black Widow Yelena Belova. I’m also mad about missing most of the Age of Ultron Line, especially Wanda Maximoff.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
I always tell people you'll remember the ones you passed up on and regret not buying. For me it was the 9" Maleficent that I happened upon many years ago. It was on sale for like $15 bucks but my wife (girlfriend at the time) asked me where I would even display it and I put it back feeling guilty for even wanting to buy it .

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
I wish I would have gotten all of the Bojack Horseman Pops. I bought Mr Peanutbutter but kept passing on the rest because they were everywhere and I just planned on grabbing them later.
I also wish I would have gotten in to the MOTU line at the beginning. The ones I missed are way too expensive to pick up now. I guess it did save me some money though since I only pick and choose a few of the characters I really love (like Syklone and Dragstor who were my favorite two figures from MOTU as a kid).

Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
Definitely the original hitchhiking ghosts at Disney. I saw the whole set with hatbox. I told myself just the hatbox for now and the rest next week. My buddy went the next morning and I decided to ask him to pick up those pops for me. They were already sold out

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
I would say for me it would be Green Arrow #15 from the old DC line. Basically the very beginning of the DC line for me. I have all of them but that Green Arrow.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
The early Disney ones, I started collecting right before Pops really got big and I remember some of my grails now just sitting on shelves. I also regret not buying the Universal Monsters and the early horror hot topic exclusives.

Trick O Treat Sam. I had ordered it from Jet but returned it because it showed up all jacked up. Should have just keep it.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
The one that sticks out for me is a pop ride - Director Coulson with Lola (his red car). I was just starting to collect pops back then, and thought it was really cool, but too big. Now I kick myself, especially on those rare occasions where I find one in the wild. They're either damaged enough that I don't want it, or out of my self-imposed price range!
Great topic though, and hearing everyone else's tales of woe make me feel a little better!

I feel you on this. I waited way too long for Bojack and I did it again with the good place.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
This is not really a regret-not-buying as much as I wish I could have been a fan sooner. And that's with the Supernatural Pops. I didn't become a fan of the show until 2018 and by then, most of the Pops were not made anymore. And of course, missed out on getting the exclusive Baby rides when they first came out and weren't $250.

Obviously, a bunch of early ones. Toward the top of the list would be metallic V for Vendetta when it was still a decent price and not as heavily faked.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
The first Funko Pop I ever saw that got my attention was from the December 2014 Lootcrate. It was the Joker-Batman exclusive. I thought it was so cool and I looked up Funko Pops and now I have nearly 1200 Pops and counting. I just wish I had known about Pops a year or two earlier, because I would really have some cool gems in my collection. I tried to go back and get everything old that I wanted, but even by early 2015, some of them were vaulted and very expensive.
That said, I've passed on quite a few good ones. Can't have them all. I usually just buy what I like.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
For me I wish I would have gotten in Funko sooner. I started off late, spring of 2017. Funko wasn't on my radar before that. I was mainly focused on my kids interest at the time. I remember seeing a few things and thinking, “ oh that looks cool” but i just didnt know anything about it and I wasnt thinking about me.
I remember seeing the first line of TMNT at Barnes and Noble. The party van, Beebop and Rocksteady were in the clearance section for half price.
Looking at the prices now, I really wish I would have stopped and gave these another look.

Re: Which Pops Do You Regret Not Buying?
I regret not buying a lot of the Star Wars pops I wanted, mainly because I thought I’d never be able to get them all. However I don’t have a completion type of mentality anymore so I am now buying some commons and regretting the ones I don’t have.

100% regret not getting the Baxter GITD Nintendo pop at SDCC. I was running around trying to do a few things, and thought I'd have time. They sold out preview night because they had no purchase cap, then after that I never had a shot again hah

I regret not picking this one up too. I remember seeing at least 3 at a discount store years ago. I remember telling myself, oh I'll just come back for them
There are so many other good ones I left behind, but a few that come to mind now, Alan and Baby Carlos & 9" Batman, both at a Barnes & Noble.

I remember seeing the the old school DC line and thinking maybe but not today. Still kicking myself for not grabbing Green Arrow from that line for sure.

None. I've always bought what I liked.
Now a better ask would be 'which one do you regret buying'.
That list is looooong.

I think for me it would be all the Breaking Bad ones they released. The other one would probably be the Freddys from 2016 and 2017. I wish I got those when they were easier to find and cheaper then they are now.
