I love it when there is a memory attached to the item. I have the SDCC Freddy from Hall H on my desk and it def brightens my day. It is a great Pop on its own but just getting it was awesome and will always remind me of that year's SDCC.

The Conan pops were so good. I wish Funko continued the line.

One of my favorite con Pops was the Hannibal Bryan Fuller pop I got autographed in 2015.

The other item I still cherish is my Captain America mega Dorbz. It will always have a special place in my heart especially because my husband bought it for me.

I have a few that I love, from different Cons. The Boushh Princess Leia without her helmet that my wife and I got from SDCC is one of my favorites. But I also love our LACC Stan Lee, and Diamond Grougu from SWC. The reason they're some of my favorite pieces varies, but mostly its because of the difficulty it took to get them. I love the hunt.
My favorite non-pop piece is a Captain America Mega Dorbz I bought for my wife at SDCC. It was a little pricey, but I couldn't help myself because she's a huge Cap fan.

Bonus question, what is one other item that you collected besides a Pop (maybe something else from Funko or any exclusive) that you still think back fondly on.

For me...

Pop: I love my collection Conan Pops and think that they were a perfect way to celebrate SDCC.

Other: During the Deadpool Hall H event they put in bathroom toilet covers that were Deadpool themed. My friends and I managed to get some and that is framed in my bathroom at home. Makes me laugh every time I see it.


I have to agree with you that the Conan ones were great.

No Funko Related but happened last year with MetaZoo for the Hello Kitty collaboration Cards. For one day the 4 time slots were cancelled. The day after that the line was crazy.

I never was able to get ticket to Conan. But I remember the Deadpool Covers. I think I was on the previous night waiting in line, when someone arrived with it and everyone ran to get one. I try to see them the days after but I think it runs out quickly. I hope this year makes something similar.

My favorite is easily the full set of Blue Chrome pops from Star Wars Celebration 2019. The set looks so good together. Haven't had the same instant love for the other con exclusives I've gotten that don't have something unifying the set design (chrome).

There are some really incredible stories here, and they're helping me remember a lot of convention moments.

My favorite con Pop is without a doubt my Clown Dumbo from 2014. I was in line for the Funko booth (you didn't need a ticket to get in that year) and there was a claw machine in the line that NOBODY was using. It had several super rare pieces in it that would later be given at Fundays (I believe this was Wednesday night) such as Clown and Gold dumbo, the clear glitter freddies, and other 1/48s. I only had five $1 bills on me and I blew them all trying to get the Clown Dumbo. The line kept going around me and I happily forfeited my place in line to keep using the machine. I had to ask Kim Goldsmith/Zilla for change for a $20 bill. I blew the whole thing. Then Dave Zilla came and took pity on me and opened the machine and gave me Clown Dumbo. I almost cried. Had Ben Butcher sign it while I was in the booth (IYKYK). Posted it to the forum that night and the claw machine blew up by the next day! The pic on my profile is the one I posted to IG and the forum that night. I'll never forget it. That was ten years ago!!
Edited: Found a pic! So blurry lol
