Your display, the Funko way!

[nightbodega]

Not really a display, but rather a display piece. Story goes like this….

So no ish there I was at a local Hot Topic, the other day, looking for a birthday gift for my son. There was an employee up on a ladder, helping a customer check out some Pops on the top shelf of the Pop wall. The employee finished helping the customer and as he was about to come down the ladder I said, “Hey, while you are up there I’ll take the Funko sign”.

Now usually when I visit any Hot Topic I’ll ask to buy the Funko Sign and Im usually met with the same look, “like really bro!!” Or the girl will giggle and say it isnt for sale. But this employee straight up said “No”. There was an awkward pause as he came down the ladder but then he said, “I have one the the back, for “X” amount its yours, do you want it?”

I quickly replied, “hell ya”. He said, “Great, by the way all of the money will be donated to Mental health awareness.” I then said, “Even better..thats awesome, I am definitely down with that!” So then he comes out from the back and hands me the sign. It had some scratches, but nothing a little love couldn't cure.

I walked out of that Mall with the sign over my head like I won the WWE Championship!

Side note: I only placed the sign on the mantel for the picture. There was no way Wifey was going to let me leave it there!!

Dang, congrats on buying it. Is it heavy?

This is a grail piece, congrats! Note to self: ask every single HT if their sign is for sale. Money going to an amazing cause also. Double kudos!

Im not sure if every Hot Topic is the same, but what I found out that day was that HT gets a replacement sign every other year. Typically the old one is supposed to go back to a warehouse, where I assume it gets lost or destroyed like any other retail display. However in my case, the previous manager kept the old signs in the back. There were two. The regional manager instructed the store to sell them. One was sold to a “start up collector” store that sells pops and other collectibles in the mall and the other was sold to me. Needless to say I got lucky.

Thanks! It does have some weight to it but nothing crazy. I’ll put it on a scale and get back to you!

I love the colour of the sign SithLord.

I love the color too! I didn’t realize how rich the blue was until it was up close. It really “Pops!”

So as I was about to pay for the sign, the employee goes “You weren’t expecting that to happen when you came in the store were you?” I replied, “Not at all. But I always ask whenever I’m in a Hot Topic. I mean I have to try. You cant win if you don’t try.” And then the customer behind me said “Well I’d say that was a win!”

I’ve been wanting this sign for years! I was the same way “I NEED that sign!” Just got lucky.

[Serch_na]

After all this years i feel so good with my collection right now, since 2016 ive been from here to there but at this moment i look and i really like how it is, this will change again in a few months when i move again but heres is my tiny but lovely collection.

[HDawg_Da_Gawd]

This looks pretty cool

[FerrisGuy3]

We moved and its taken me awhile to get things situated in my office, but I really like how it turned out!!

Looks great. Amazing setup

[JJLecaros]

nice come up on the Funko sign from hot topic.

I like the bins you are using for your comics Serch_na

[pinklaquer]

I love all the new posts. I think it’s time to work on my funko room

[digithor]

I got asked a couple of times for a close up of my Star Wars collection, so here you go.

I like that Frosted Flakes cereal.

It was a give away box they gave us at the Obi-wan panel during Star Wars Celebration. We also got the Star Wars Pringles can there as well.

That's a nice bonus for being at the panel.

Spoiler: show

I saw this and Jonathan’s pictures on Facebook and I love it. Super jealous of how organized it all looks, my collection is total chaos.

[scullysdad]

Looking for a new job so I decided to rearrange the shelves behind me that show on Zoom.

The Funko logo sign was something I got from FDO9, and I love it. Not sure where to put it though so for now it’s covering up a few Pops on the bottom row. My other shelves next to my desk are too messy to show, but it’s where I have my armored Pops like Freddys and NFT grails.

Wow, you should feel very good about where your collection is at! You can really tell when someone goes the extra mile to give attention to detail with organizing and arranging items in a very thoughtful way. Keep up the great work!

I love the Zoom background idea. Kind of a “shock and awe” effect. And the Max proto!!!!! Just jelly!!

Thank you! It took a lot of time for sure. All of our inbox pops are in storage, so that helps with the displays.

Looks good. Seeing that I live in an earthquake prone area, I’m always afraid to stack my pops in that manner.
