personally, I don't think they're overdoing the Freddys at the moment. For a while they had weekly freddy drops in the shop. So the handfulls we're getting lately doesn't seem over done at all to me.

Especially when I'm a Freddy fan. :freddy3:

Idk, a lot of the new brand/character pops haven’t spoken to me lately — I find myself more excited about the Freddys than the 7000th Harry Potter Pop! (And I love to HP Universe!)

Yeah I agree with this, freddy should be the reward not a normal pop you get. Like social media freddy still is.

I agree, really slow the Freddy’s down. I love Freddy as much as the next collector. But he was, is the holy grail of pops to own. The exclusivity was the main point of Fundays. I love Funko!

Fundays - 34

NFT (going back to last year) - 27

Almost 100 new Freddy's in a year is pretty nuts.


Inserting numbers... It's just a shame they do so many variants of the same mold...I'm personally fine with the nft royal sets, it's kind of fun way for the Freddy tie in to those sets

I see Funko totally makes a 100% profit if they sell just Freddy and his variants. If it’s Freddy as an IP character then Funko has to maybe share royalties with the company. So that’s probably why we are seeing more Freddy Funko and Proto the dog pops.

I'm pretty new to collecting but I do wish there was more exclusivity to Freddy

At minimum things like only having him available at cons and lower count funday/fright boxes would be nice.

Dear Funko: Send more Freddies, please!

In seriousness though, the more that are made, the less compelled to be a completionist I become, and instead can focus on scooping my favorite molds, colors, variants, etc.

Plus the secondary market can be a little less crazy so some items can be easier to get.
