Lol lol I swear it felt like they produced 100k of that pop. Every single time I went to target I seen a shelf full of them with other exclusives sprinkled in.


I wonder if eventually they gave up and threw them away and that’s the only reason some stores don’t have 1 or 2 instead of 12 lol


Lol it’s hilarious because I still see them on the shelves to this day, maybe they have the other 100 in the back in the warehouse

Depends on what it is. Like other people have said we have limited space so we are really careful with what we buy now.

It depends on the character but I still pick up a common if it fits that line I like aka DC. :freddy3:

Or have other collectors started to only buy stickered, exclusive, Con related, specialty, etc...?

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

If it's maybe a character I don't have. I have a pop of every MCU hero & anti-hero. I want to keep it that way. My only complete set is from the Captain Marvel movie. Gonna get all the Marvel's pops.

I do if it’s a line I collect but I stopped being a completionist and if there is an exclusive version of that same common, I will opt to get that instead.

I buy commons all the time. I have a bunch I need to catch up on. Gummi Bears, Frasier, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dinosaurs, They Live, and several more. I don't know why so many people are obsessed with stickered Pops. Just because it's exclusive to a store doesn't necessarily mean it's rare or hard to find. Sometimes it's the opposite. I have an easier time finding most exclusives than some commons. And to be honest some commons have a lower production run than some exclusives.

Same response as many, depends on what it is, since space is so limited for me.

True, a lot of commons end up being pretty hard to find. Look at the last wave of Stranger Things. If you didn’t grab those right away, you were out of luck. I saw Argyle once and then never again, and the others maybe twice.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

The only commons I buy are the ones that have no alternative pop to it. Store exclusives or made a special way. This way I don’t have 3 pops of the same pose common, Glow or Metallic.

Same. I want the glow Casper. Not gonna get the regular Casper to go with it. I know some people will buy every version of every Pop. Even buying it multiple times with different stickers for international or multi store exclusives. It's insane to me but thats their choice

I've been actively trying to hold back on buying some of the new Demon Slayer common pops, it feels like they are all at high risk of having cooler variants and exclusive versions come out and I'm trying to avoid too many duplicates >_>

Omg I just sold my glow Casper about 2 days ago for cheap too but yes to me buying pops of the same mold takes up space for different pops so what I do now when a new wave drops I wait a day or two cause sometimes Funko drops the alternative pop then.

I do but if I see there's an exclusive in the same mold I'll most likely choose the variant over the common. I used to want to get both but with how many things are pushed out these days I just can't keep up to get both or sometimes even more than 2 variants of the same figure/mold financially or space wise. There's only a few genres that I still buy the commons and variants. Some commons are just so well done too that I'll get them like king namor was one I was going to get regardless of a variant or exclusive version because it was just so nice looking.

I hear ya about being picky. There are a lot of commons that look super cool but can get out of control. I'm thinking of sports ones in particular. It would be cool to grab them all, but no space. :eek:
