If you could go back and pick one pop up...What would it be?
So we all have those moments where we remember we saw a pop and we decided not to pick it up.
My question is if you could go back in time and pick up that pop or not trade and sell a pop what would it be? It doesn't have to be a pop thats worth thousands or anything unobtainable it could be a personal grail.
Personally when I think about it I remember when I had the complete Wizard of Oz set, I ended up trading them to the states for a pop that was worth quite a bit at the time but i still think about the set.

Re: If you could go back and pick one pop up...What would it be?
A couple of years ago I had the chance to pickup a Droids Boba Fett for about 200 dollars at SDCC, and I passed it up. I still kick myself for that.

The most recent one is God Loki because I can't believe it sold out as quickly as it did on Funko.com but my biggest miss is probably Freddy Funko as Spider-Man

I would pick up Benson from the Regular Show and would not have sold my blue Cheshire Cat from SDCC. I still feel bad about the Cheshire Cat but I had a medical emergency come up and I needed the money

Back in 2018, I saw someone selling a Freddy as Tony Stark for $900. At the time, I was like absolutely not since that was so much money and all the money I was making from my jobs at the time went to school applications. Some ragrets looking back now

I already had the SDCC 2013 metallic Animal and my friend was at a store where they had the matching Kermit and Ms Piggy...
I asked them to get me the Kermit only, and I should have had them pick up both....
Could have had the complete set.....

Personally, I regret not getting Hollow Ichigo from Bleach. I'm a long time Bleach fan but didn't start collecting Funko until 2021 so huge, missed opportunity. I'd even seen him in my Gamestops for WEEKS back then!

Re: If you could go back and pick one pop up...What would it be?
I started collecting in December of 2014 so that list is vast for me. There are all kinds of things I wish I bought. BUT...you can't get everything. I got mostly what I really wanted to get so I don't hold many regrets.
However, I really wish I had gotten the metallic 4 pack of Universal Monsters from Gemini Collectibles. I opted to get the non-metallic 4 pack instead. I am glad to have it but I wish to heck I had gotten both. It's the only Universal Monsters piece I don't have.
I also wish I had picked up some of the OG Chases like Gremlin, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees when they were still reasonably priced. I wish I had gotten some of those OG DC characters and their Chases when they were reasonably priced. In early 2015, those things were still expensive but they weren't nearly as bad as they are now.

I don't regret it, but I would go back and pick up the Scott Pilgrim NYCC exclusive (Astro Boy shirt). Since then I have gotten over being a completist, and am super happy with what I have of that line. I do have Knives, so that's something.

Re: If you could go back and pick one pop up...What would it be?
I'll always kick myself for not getting a few when I first started collecting, not realizing they wouldn't be around forever. I wish I had grabbed the Knight Rider pop ride, Superboy, any of the early Superman ones I don't have like the shiny chase, or a couple of the very early Wolverine pops I don't have. I also regret not trying harder to get the 12th Doctor in the spacesuit or the 13th Doctor in the long coat, the only two I'm missing from my Doctor Who collection. Also kind of annoyed I never got Wash or Mal from Firefly, I have the other three but took too long getting those and they vanished before I could. Also GITD GhostRider pop ride and GITF Wolfman.
The wife and I also regret not getting her Xibalba and La Muerte pops when we saw them at FYE and had them in hand and said naaaah...we'll get them next time. Sadly they were gone, never to be seen again and she always brings up her regret of not getting them.
I'm sure there are more, I've been collecting almost 10 years, .
