Heck yeah, especially if it’s in the genres I collect. Horror I’ve got way too many pennywise commons lol. But I definitely don’t mind and I’ve seen some of the commons look better than the chase variant. I just collect what I like, sticker or not I don’t discriminate!!

I buy commons. I prefer the traditional figures vs the gitd, flocked or shiny glitter ones.

I do, but only when it fits in with what I or my husband collects. We have limited space and don't collect Funko as our primary collection, but collection certain lines and love to collect as much as we can from those lines no matter who makes items from them. For me, its Disney and Pokemon. For him its One Piece, He-Man, TMNT, Mario, and Simpsons.

It is rare that I see a common pop! that I feel like I need to add to my collection. I feel like I have to be extra choosey because I just don't have that much space anymore.

Anyone else feel the same way? Am I missing out on something? :-k


No, I usually wait for the metallic, GITD, glitter, etc variant. Or stick to comic con releases.

I buy commons quite often! I love buying full common sets from various retailers and getting them all at the same time in one big box. Makes for good videos on our channel!


Hey guys, love your videos!

Full common sets are a lot of fun, especially when the retailer bundles in the chase! (if there is one)....there I go again getting more interested in the stickered pop! :blush: :blush:

best of luck figuring out what is up with wintercon 2022 !! lol

I still buy commons but I am overall more strict on what I purchase these days. It needs to be something that I really want, regardless of exclusivity.
In general we are running out of room and are really trying to streamline the collecting to make sure its stuff we want to keep and wont offload to make room for something else in the future.

I am definitely buying commons in the series that I collect or if the design is awesome. But I am much more particular on purchases as my collection and display area is full.

I only buy commons of a show/movie that I really like. The main problem is space. I need a bigger house!

Depends on the line, honestly. There are a handful of sets that I love so much where virtually all of them are commons (Twin Peaks, for example).

Exactly. It’s honestly a little frustrating when a line is mostly exclusives because I have to hunt like crazy. Bob’s Burgers second wave is a perfect example.

I still buy every version of a pop that fits in with what I collect. Funko doesn't make hardly anything that I collect anymore so I don't have any problems. I may have bought one pop this year, in fact. The Fundays Freddys may be the only pops I've added to the wall this year.

For me, I try to get a Pop! from every convention I go to. I was collecting Marvel through phase 3 of the movies but ran out of space.

Same!
All about collecting what I like and if they make an exclusive then it's more of a plus.

Also commons that I like are a bit more affordable too.

I still buy commons quite frequently. However, if it’s a massive line like any of the marvel movies I will wait and buy my favorite of the bunch. It may be a common, it may be an exclusive.
