I have well over a thousand in my collection. Since 2023 started, I've only bought Killer Klowns VHS Cover and Darkwing Duck for my collection. I had another impulse buy at HT of Buggy the Clown and Gir Eating Pizza. I didn't really want those for my collection but I liked the way they looked and I had $10 in rewards I had to use before the end of the month.

I ended up not buying a single thing from Wonder Con. I'm totally over all the Disney owned properties.

Only 1-2 since it seems Funko is mainly focused on anime or large size Pops these days. I just dont have the room anymore.

Currently I probably average about 4-5 a month. Very selective now but at one time I probably had over 100 a month.

0 for most months now. I am very selective due to lack of space, mostly special pops from conventions so a burst of a few that particular month.

I am curious, especially from those who are long time collectors, how many do you add to your collection (on average) in a month? I know some months are going to be higher because of releases that interest you, but what kind of rabbit hole have I found myself in?



I used to do 10-25 pieces per month (back in 2015-2017). But I had to stop because I eventually got burnt out.

I used to own over 800+ pieces but I’m down to 420 or so pieces. I still have 200 or so more to donate.

Depends of course but just for this April I've already added at least 14 with more on the way. I still don't know where I'm putting them.

I'm in the range of 1-2 pops per month, but I've also had a couple of months where I'll go 10+ during conventions.

Only one a month recently. Had to narrow the collection and these days I’ve finally started to out of box my pops.

It all depends on what new pops are coming out, and if it's a franchise I collect. On average, my wife and I purchase about 5-10 pops a month. If it's a con month or a special event, that number is closer to 25.

This is where I am. Really just depends on what lines are releasing, so it might be a chunk at a time if it's a Star Wars wave or something, but it definitely fluctuates all the time.

Good for you, you have to know your limits. I went a little nuts during the pandemic years like a lot of us probably did.

Depends, there's times I've only grabbed a couple in a month and times I've gotten 20+, just varies on what's releasing and if I can find a deal or good trade.

Maybe 1 or 2, at most. I'm also very selective into what I bring into the collection, since I've run out of space to display and a lot of stuff ends up in storage totes.

I honestly think I have lowered how many I look for each month but I feel like I have picked up more lol. I have tried to stick to mostly Batman and simpsons new lines but I pick up older pops when I can the other day I got the step brothers set for $10 in the box and everything I was so excited to add those to my collection.

Good for you, you have to know your limits. I went a little nuts during the pandemic years like a lot of us probably did.


My brother and and a friend started collecting more during the pandemic and I got caught up in the group text of everyone sharing their hauls. Right before the pandemic, I had significantly cut down my collection. Then long time wishlist pops like ATLA, Community, and Fullmetal Alchemist were made, which sucked me back in a little. Then I started getting into MHA and we all know how many Funko released. It was like a full on relapse lol. I’m back to that 2019 mindset of cutting back down a lot. I’ve bought one pop in the last month, but I’ve sold a lot more.

It definitely fluctuates. Con months are usually a dozen or so, other months depend on releases but usually at least 2 or 3. Over almost 8 years of collecting even a few a month adds up.

Not as much as in the past, I used to live by this savers and there used to be randoms pops and pops out of boxes that was fun to buy

Since moving I don’t live by a savers anymore lol so I’d say maybe 1-2 a month if I see something I like but I always love those clearance sales at retail stores
