Yeah, I used to be addicted (still am, technically). Used to buy like 10-20 pops a week, but now it's 1 a week maybe. All my Funko money has been going to Lorcana though haha


Lol, no harm shifting hobbies. I've also been slowly getting back to collecting Pokemon cards lol

Honestly only one or two, if I added more than that I'd need another bedroom just to display them all

It really varies upon when new releases of my fandoms come out. There can be dry spells or days where I pick 2-3 in consecutive weeks. Convention season is another story lol

Depends man, if you averaged it out? It would be like 2-3 a month because I tend to buy stuff at Cons like C2E2, SDCC, NYCC when I go. The buzz in the crowd gets me excited. I don't really chase regular in store pops anymore because they tend to sit and the FOMO feeling is alot less.

The question is how many are you getting rid per month? Just wondering

I've just been selling off a few here and there. I did sell most of my DC Pops except Harley Quinn and Raven, a big chunk of my Marvel Pops, most Stranger Things, and Game of Thrones. I'm mostly focusing on Disney and Star Wars now.

When I first started, I bought almost every Pop that came out. Ran out of room quick so I gave lines I didn't collect to friends or as gifts. I just stick with what I like. This past month, I bought 10 Pops.

I tend to wait for sales for a lot of them now, and then by the time they end up going on sale I've decided I don't need it *that* badly. Still probably average 2-3 a month though

I've a pretty narrow niche...Marvel but comics related, not movies/animated (yet)...and the die-casts...those things just rock. So...one a month? Maybe?

Pretty soon I will have to be super selective too!! I keep downgrading my bed so there is room for pops. I first had a king, now I am at a full size bed. I have to be careful when walking around my room because one move will cause catastrophe.

Lately 1-2, money is getting tight and just not into the new pops lately, although the iron man half man half transforming was a sick pop so I had to get that.

As many It depends on the month and other factors. If there is a new wave or Con in that month for sure will be more. I think 2 in average.

Like most here only one to two per month. When I first started it was 10-20 per month or more depending on shared convention exclusive releases but I ran out of room. Rather than completing lines I’m only going for pieces that I really like the mold.

I do the same even with sodas. Although at times the con drops aren’t as good as the common drops.

2024- reduced to buying maybe 1-2 pops every other month or so. Even then, I usually swap one out of the collection so I always float around 300 total pops. I feel like its a nice amount to have and not excessively consuming space.

I don’t know if that’s a good idea :P. What if you becomes interested in those pops you passed up on. It will become more expensive later!!

I wish I could do that. I definitely need to curate my collection so it's a little more manageable, but right now I am hovering around 1200 and there is just no way to display that many.
