In any condition?

Depending on how hard it is to find, it can vary. I have super mint ones and then some older ones that the boxes are a little beat up. Part of the aging process.

Not anymore. I just collect what I love. If I can find a clean box, great. If not, then it's coming out of the box.

Hmm thought this would be about specific genres/lines but it goes even more specific, that’s pretty cool
I know my friend only got the golden girls ones since it’s her favorite show and will only get those ones so they’d be perfect for this group

I will say that I thought about going for every iron man pop but yeah when you start later that gets hard to do, plus the convention ones means a big oof x hassle to get
Hey, take care and have an awesome day.

I always try to pick up Pops that have Corgis for a friend who has a Corgi, that's about as specific as I get.

I feel like most of my collection is extremely specific based on only the characters that I personally connected with in shows, but I also feel like that's probably everyone and this thread is more for specificity within that level of specificity already lol

I don't necessarily have a specific type of Funko that I collect (but I do enjoy the ones that are holding mini figures.

Does anyone besides me collect some Pops using extremely specific criteria? I collect a lot of different Pops for a lot of different reasons, but one thing I collect, no matter the line are Pops holding cats. The cat can't be included with the Pop or be just a cat, but an actual Pop holding a cat. And it needs to be a cat...Simba is a lion...he doesn't count. It's totally an arbitrary set of criteria, but I love it and I have so many people who have pointed out the new Godfather and Lightyear Pops coming that fit the bill. I think I have them all (except that darn Analyst from the Matrix that I can't seem to find), but it is fun to hunt them down (and why there is no Sally from NBC holding a cat, I have no clue).

So...anyone else have a very niche and highly arbitrary collection?


For mine, the Pop! has to be holding the cat. Otherwise, I'd have to pick up the Hawkeye with the cat sweater.

Does the Pop! have to come with a physical cat or is a character wearing a t-shirt with a cat on the shirt something you collect as well? I was thinking about Tony Stark Pop! with a cat on his shirt.
