I carry a back pack and throw about 5 of them in there. Like you just said, you never know
That is an excellent idea, who knows where you might be when you go somewhere and unexpectedly ( ) buy some pops
I always keep a box of VV protectors in my truck just incase I find a hidden Gem. Fundays and Funko event its a must along with your deodorant, hand sanitizer and back up deodorant hehe

7 Bucks a Pop has a booth right next to Funko, and I just bought protectors and Pop Shield Armor from them at the show last year. Saved me from lugging stuff there.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Gotta be quick on the pop armor. They sold out quick at WojderCon. Hopefully SDCC will be different and they will have a huge supply.

Yeahh. I had that happened to a pop. I just kept it in a protector since so it doesnt fall apart.
Smart. I've been trying to put most of my pops into protectors.
Yeah i have protectors on all my pops now. Cant risk anything especially with pets around

Yes our cats don’t bother the pops but the out of box minis they have knocked down and I haven’t bought any bittys yet, I’m sure they would think they were cat toys.

My cat loves one of the minis and I keep randomly finding it throughout the house. That, and my rubber elephant nose pen.
I randomly had some protectors in my car. Totally forgot about them and I must say, they came in handy.

I finally got a new shelf for my sodas. They were all stacked up. The common open ones and the sealed cans. Now I have a spot right next to my wife's "library shelf".

Re: Your display, the Funko way!
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!!

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!

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!!
This is amazing and I love the story!!

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?”

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.
