noob with some questions

[thornz12]

hello all! im new to this section and was introduced to the pop line while shopping for my girlfriends brothers christmas present, saw them in a comic book store and currently have about 40 or so! so ill be browsing the forums for info! ive seen a few things already but i have some questions to post to see if i can get a direct answer here

1. Will there be a hawkeye addition to the marvel line? if so will it be to the marvel and avengers line?

2. Why cant i find a penguin to finish that part of the DC series?

3. Are there any other super hero plans? ( rest of the x-men etc)

thanks!

1. We think hawkeye is the mystery pop! and if so it will prob be in the avengers line up

2. The penguin is like the loki version in marvel hard to find. Just keep checking ebay that were I found mine. Supply and demand is the game. amazon has him http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FC ... PH75SJ5JQ5

3. I think with new Marvel/DC movies coming out new pop! will also. A new xmen movies going to come out next year, my guess Cyclopes, Beast, Storm, Wolverine, n Magneto in new outfits like the black ones.

thanks! these things really are addicting! a few more questions!

1. Whats with the "chase" editions?
2. are metallic editions and the other ones available in store?

im sure ill have more questions!

[thornz12]

also the marvel line starts with spiderman at number 3, who are 1 and 2?

[Meth68]

Chase editions are limited releases of the figure, they have a chase sticker on the window and are typically in metallic paint

Metallic editions, are anything from chase pieces to show pieces, they have shiny paint. You will also see "flocked" thats just fuzzy (very cool looking actually) so far I have seen a Chewbacca and Sully Flocked.

You can find chase pieces in stores, but its not very easy. They are limited and there are typically others going for the same reason

[lucky19]

#1 is thor and #2 is loki both form the thor movie

Yea sum funko members have been lucky enough to find the chase editions locally.

Check this out for reff viewtopic.php?f=62&t=26959

thornz12 just a heads up, Thor isn't very easy to locate it seems, but Loki seems much harder at least for me. So far Loki has been my toughest piece to locate :/

[thornz12]

thanks for all the quick answers! all helpfull info!

i have noticed some pieces are quite hard to come by! i have yet to see any of the chase or other special editions! ill be sure to check to see if anyone has them now though!

[Meth68]

Hey thornz12 , do you plan on getting all of them or are you pickin certain ones you like?

The lucky19 posted is very helpful, Also you should always keep in mind which pieces are more difficult to find even if you already have it, I am sure there are some on here are looking for them as well and will trade/buy them from you.

Ah! No wonder I have not seen either of them!

[xHEMLOCKx]

I think the Penguin and Riddler POP have both been retired, that may be why they are hard to find.

Some chase pieces glow in the dark. Gremlin and Beetlejuice for example.

There is a flocked version of Gizmo as well.

[FunkoNewb]

Well I'm glad I got my riddler when I did. I'm hoping I can stumble upon a penguin soon. I like the look of the batman characters

Crazy to look back and see thing that were still up in the air 10 years ago and have been now answerd for 8 or 9 years.

I gotta admit, his character has grown on me since the series came out!

Strange as it is to resurrect random threads I do love seeing these time capsules. This was only a couple months before I bought my first few pops. Wow.

so original poster was at 40 in 2011, i wonder what they are at now or even if they are still in the game. what does your collection look like now? probably hella grails if you have been collecting since 2011 as well.

Great questions and answers. Welcome to the boards!

[rexflexall]

Started in 2012, was lucky enough to get a few grails from this time period before they went through the stratosphere LOL!

[racheva]

I bought my first pop in 2013. So crazy that it’s almost been 9 years!

I'm now sitting at over 1000 pops and there is a handful of gems in there if I do say so myself.

My Howard and Duckpool protos are the crown jewels of my collection! As you can see in my sig, I'd love to add a few more at some point that are really special to me.

I've noticed that a lot of og collectors switch to protos at some point. Did you guys get to a point where you said, this is way to many production pieces. Lol

I'm not really sure, I do still collect regular production pieces. I personally started collecting Protos only because I've won them from Funko. Receiving 1 from Funko got me in the mood to try and get Protos from lines I actually really love. That's why I personally love to collect Doctor Who Protos, I'm a Whovian and those are the only Protos I'm really after. I wouldn't be so upset if I came upon a Freddy Funko Proto though.

I'm not working with a Proto collector's budget. The two I own were very, VERY generous gifts from members of this here community. So while that's not quite in the cards for me, I am actively running out of space for my production pieces as we speak. It is factually way too many.

Same, especially with the fandoms we'd love to have protos from.
If anything, we wanted our first protos to be from Funko somehow. Whether it was won from a social media contest like Funko Photo A Day, earned from dancing on stage at a recent con or event, or given by the prize patrol. So that was a huge thing to cross off our Funatic bucket list in the past year.
I do appreciate the community that does avidly collect protos and makes sure to educate people about them, such as asking about lineage, where/how to get them, etc.
