What was you first every bought POP?

Postby Bad Motherfunko » Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:46 pm

I'm curious what was your first pop you got ever? My was the first Tyrion from the first set of Game of Thrones. If only I know it would lead to 10 yeas of addiction hahaha. So what are your stories?!

it was Darth Maul. I had tried to avoid buying funko til then, thinking it would get out of hand (as it is now 400+ pops now) but i was at blockbuster seeing what they had since my local one was having their going out of business sale. There he was. figured wth why not, and got him.

My first was also from Game of Thrones, it was Arya Stark. I bought her on eBay in 2014. I tried all SDCC week in 2014 to get in to the Funko booth because I wanted the bloody versions of Buffy and Hannibal, but was not successful. When I got home though, I decided to pick up my first Pop and Arya was my favorite GOT character so I started with her and ordered one on eBay. Before she even arrived though, my company laid about 40% of us off. I couldn't afford to buy any other Pops so she was my only one until the following year. I bought the common Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who at a random booth at SDCC 2015, and that started the addiction. Um, I mean, started the fun :D
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Most wanted non-Taylor Pops: Carson Teva, Naru from Prey, The Last of Us TV show

I was reading a Buzzfeed article in 2017 about something I don't remember and then saw the 3 pops from MTV's Teen Wolf and HAD to have them. I did some research and pre-ordered them from Amazon. Since then, I've been enjoying collecting Funko items from my favorite fandoms and discovering new ones

I think my first ever Pop was technically a blank DIY one that my friend painted and molded to create Mr. Meeseeks as a gift. I think the first one I actually bought was a Cthulhu I found at a comic shop.
