I think they are doing a lot but honestly they have made some really awesome ones too. It’s nice to see more characters made into Freddy’s in different ways. I still hope i can make it to fundays this year after missing last year.

Kind of but most seem to be exclusive and/or limited at this point so it not the worst thing.

Nope. Feed me more Freddy's and less other basic bricks. Prefer collecting the Freddy's over most the lines they have coming out.
Agreed, I think this has also gotten a lot of newer fans into collecting Freddys by making them more accessible. I still think they should make limited ones to keep collecting fun and have grail Freddys out there.[/quote
I do agree. Wouldn't mind seeing a few of them more limited. Drop as often as you want, but let's not get to crazy the count.

Yeah I don't think this line sold well, so they moved on. They are beholden to their stock holders now.
As are all publicly traded companies LOL!

Re: Anybody else think they’re overdoing it on Freddy lately?
Anyone else get the Bedtime Freddy box from Funko.com? That’s why I could never think they are making too many Freddy Pops, one of these comes along and blows me away.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Agree, or wish they were sold alone but it's a way for them to get rid of stock.

I almost let the 1 of 24 Bloody Freddy Daryl go a couple years back but felt the offer was a lowball. Glad I kept him because now he's got his very own WD show!

Smart move. I wouldn’t take a low ball offer on a pop like that. The days of the lower LE pops are gone.

Re: Anybody else think they’re overdoing it on Freddy lately?
I have been rearranging one of my bookshelves to mainly be a Freddy shelf (stole the bookshelf idea from Top Pops) and I have nearly 100 of Freddy now. I still don't think that Funko is overdoing it, but maybe I am overdoing it personally
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

That's one way to look at it. I'd like to think that as long as you're collecting what you like then hopefully you yourself aren't overdoing it.

At least they added Proto to a few. Does seems like it was fine as NFT royalties. But does seem like a new one every other month.
