Auotgraphing Pops?

[Goatedfunko]

I do collect autographs, but I don’t have a lot of signed Pops. I can’t really explain it but it has to hit me a certain way for me to want a Pop signed. It has to ‘feel right’ for me to get one signed which I know sounds weird.

My Stranger Things autographs are all on photos, but I do regret never getting a Millie Bobbie Brown signed Pop.

I did get my hall H stranger things demogorgon pops signed by the person who played the demogorgon in season 1. Turned out good but it’s a little hard to display them

[brooklyn_geek]

Autographs on photos YES, on toys or other items I'm iffy on...I waited ONCE in my life for an autograph and honestly it wasn't my cup of tea meeting someone I was that big a fan of that way...If it's a spontaneous thing I might ask for one, but if it's formal for money or whatever nah, not my thing...but on topic I asked Mike Becker to sign a Pop for me recently and he did and I only did so because in all these years I've come across him a ton of times and never asked...so Becker signing a Freddy does mean something to me...so I guess in certain scenarios just hate the formal way

I've only got a few signed Pops, 2 from Stan Lee, and the TMNT Amazon glow 4-pack & Turtle Van from Kevin Eastman!

[OffTheCHENG]

Autograph for sure! But I'm usually pretty picky. I try and go for autographs for pops of characters that are nostalgic and I have to get them in person. I'm glad I got to meet Stan Lee and JDF (twice!) before they passed. The only one I regret not getting was Adam West. I'll never get a Batman pop autographed out of respect for him. I have quite a few and those will be staying with me forever!

i was never much of an autograph or celebrity guy, but recently i made a friend who won me over with his collection. i don't have many but i do agree that pops are damn near perfect for autographing and i have to wonder what impact they have had on the convention scene as i have to think somebody gets a bump in signings when they get a pop released.

[Trendkill24hr]

I have a Stan Lee signed Spiderman pop, I was thinking about getting more autographs but I’m happy with just that one

I'm still kind of like that, it would be a certain celebrity and I would want a photo done a bit more than a pop in most situations. I do have a couple signed pops though, usually from bundle sales or subscription boxes previously.
I can see certain celebrities being more busy at a convention than others of course, due to popularity.

I love getting my pops autographed, especially when I get them myself. A lot of times getting an autograph leads to a great conversation with the artist, especially the older ones who think that fans have forgotten about them. They seem to really appreciate you, and the time you took to remind them that they still mattered.

[FunkoAlphaBravo]

It’s your property so do what you want. But for me never signed pop. Without signature certificate it’s worth a lot less, and less collectible

[rexflexall]

If you're on the fence, get a signed pop stack or armor instead!

[DrunkoPop]

I have 2 autographed pops so I’m good. Not a big fan of this.

[supenman]

I always question getting a pop signed, but then after I do, I always love it and so glad I didn't second guess it. I have 4 signed at the moment. Jackie Earle Haley signed Rorschach. Steve Downes signed Master Chief. Jason David Frank signed metallic Green Ranger. Mike Becker signed Hall H Freddy Funko.

I have a bunch and will stay in my collection forever. But if you enjoy trading then I can see why.

[Wiselordship]

If I am keeping them and it is a collection I like (Dr. Who or Anime) I have been getting them signed. Really I think it is if you want to meet the cool VA/Actors and want something cool signed then a Pop is a good median. Specially if they do quotes or the more artistic some drawing on the side window.

If you just doing it for value or trade, I think it limits the crowd since some just want the Pop and not a more expensive version.

[jondru]

I have a few. I got to chat with Chris Clairemont a bit getting Gambit signed.

[Marvel_Mama]

autographs are such a personal preference. We have a couple done of Marvel characters that we met at Cons. I am all for the experience of it and then its for sure a keepsake. I dont do any of those mail in ones because it wouldnt mean anything to me. Its all about the meeting and excitement of waiting for those memories.

[fbingha]

Jackie Earle Haley signed Rorschach.

I hate asking other human beings to sign something but I could get down for this.

Both of mine will stay in my collection as well. I use to be big into autographs. Not any more.

[jedik6]

I def strive to have at least ONE pop signed by my fave actors.

I opted signed and have been adding to my MCU / Star Wars collection.

[Katers]

For me personally I love the look of a well setup auto on my pops that I get myself. Currently trying to finish my Hall H collection of autograph pops but missing the Freddy signature and the Star Wars (never officially released) pop.

Do you like autographs or without?
Do you have any autograph collections going?

Gotta appreciate a timely thread! This just came up this weekend, as I was getting a Simu Liu autograph at LACC. When I first started collecting, I thought I'd never 'sully' my pops with autographs!

But then I got my first signature, an LACC Kevin Smith, pre-signed at the HT booth. It was so exciting! And then this year, I've had some autograph opportunities, and nothing good to get signed. So I went looking at pops, and wouldn't you know it - there were perfect pops for what I wanted.

I wouldn't get every pop signed. But the ones I have? I love them, and they're a lot of fun! This year alone, I've gotten Chuck Norris, William Shatner...and now Simu Liu.

The truly hard question I face each time is this though - what color should I get them signed with??

[Katers]

I only have 1 Pop that is autographed. I got a Arkham Asylum Batman signed by Kevin Conroy a few years ago. It'll never leave my collection. RIP.

That's a truly special one, glad to know it's in a forever home!

[FunkoEmu]

You're speaking my language. I LOVE autographed pops! I try to get as many myself as possible since at that point, the autograph ties more to the memory than the actual pop. And ones that I do consignments, I try to meet the person if I ever have the chance. My autographs are my main collection now (which is good because I am up to 195 right now).

[supenman]

Jackie Earle Haley signed Rorschach.

It was at a local con, and it's pretty much their one job when there

The person in front of me sucked though. No lie, they had a good 20 items for him to sign. Funkos, action figures, statues, comics, posters, art.... It was insane...and annoying. Had a feeling they were resellers, because no way someone needed that many autographs for themself.

A Rorschach pop and a Cutters jersey. Done.

I only get autographs from people I really want. So far its just been voice actors for Rick and Morty and Futurama.

Yea same here, I just don’t get autographs from anyone. I use to know an autograph junkie. This guy would get autos from Just any one. Didn’t matter.

[rexflexall]

I really only needed a Stan Lee signed Pop, and was very lucky on that in person!

[sdcccrasher]

When it is an icon like Stan Lee I definitely go for the autograph, but in other cases I like the pop without an auto.

The Rick & Morty cast are definitely on my list. Only one I've gotten so far is Rob Paulsen on Snowball.

I did get Billy West to sign all of his Futurama pops, but haven't gotten John DiMaggio yet.

[Jalapenopete]

Looks cleaner for the most part without it!

John Used to do cons all the time I haven't seen him at all last year. Need to get my Bender signed.

[Elviax]

It would depend on who! I dont go for them for the sake of getting them, it has to be a character I love!

Exactly! Get the characters and the ones that play them that you love!

[randig]

I say go got it!

You see, that’s a memorable moment. I would have easily done that.

[PhoenixForce]

I'm a huge fan of autographed pops! I love going to cons, meeting the celebrities and having my pops signed. Hope to do more in 2023.

[Imagery]

I've gotten a number of Pops signed. I was initially hesitant, but really like the look. But it depends on the person/property — sometimes I still go with a Blu-ray, poster or book.

[ccampbell_20]

I don't like buying Autographed pops, but I do like getting things autographed myself, it means more to me somehow

I have mostly anime pops signed by the voice actors. I don’t mind my pop being signed or not but I do like when I get the signature myself and meet the actor.
