Which do I buy?

Postby StarWarsFunko213 » Sun Jun 24, 2018 6:08 am

Hey guys, I've been collecting for a few years now, but I've just recently had my birthday and I obviously have some money. I'm stumped on two Pops I've been wanting for a few years, so I was wondering if any of you could help me decide.

Batman is definitely more valuble/expnsive and you can't get much more classic (POP wise) than the original DC POPs, however Scarred Island is one of my favorite POPs. There are so many little details in the scarring an tattoos that Funko pulled of perfectly! At the ed of the day it comes down to two things, how much money you want to spend and which one is your favorite.

Batman was the first Chase I bought (I don’t find them). I was never a fan of the arrow show. Honestly it depends on which you like better.

Batman has a larger fan base for whenever you want to let them go so it’ll be easier to sell. Not sure how big of a fan base Arrow has.

Pretty much what above comment says. Whichever is in your budget and your favorite. Since you like both there is no wrong chose. :)

The pop that makes you the happiest! Maybe next year for your birthday you can buy the other. My choice would be the Batman but I'm not you.

If both were to rise out of your budget tomorrow, which would you feel saddest about not getting? If you still can't decide then just flip a coin, both are very nice pops :)

I agree with everyone else. They are both great pops. But go with the one that you would enjoy having in your collection the most or the first one you thought about wanting to get when you got the money.

Here's what you do. Get a coin, assign each figure a side. Flip the coin, subconsciously you'll want it to land on one or the other. There's your answer! I've done this a couple of times when I just couldn't make up my mind.

I’m very surprised that you don’t know who arrow is. Are you not a big fan of DC comics?

As far as the choice, I agree with the others. Pick the one you love more or flip a coin if the love is equal.

This is a wonderful decision to be faced with. Congrats and good luck!

I would go with Batman, but I don't really collect the Arrow TV POPs. Good luck with your decision.

My vote would be for Batman Chase. It would mean more to me to have the Batman because I’m a fan. Like it’s been already said, go with what you like. You’ll cherish having it more if it’s what you are into.

Both are great to be honest but if I really need to choose, and then chase Batman for me first!

The Batman Chase has been a grail of mine for a long time and probably harder to find because I believe it is still part of the 1:36 Chase ratio. But the island scarred Ollie is really unique and a great piece as well. Like someone said above, you might be better off just flipping a coin lol
