Fundays pop preferences - low LE or low LE variants?

[Katers]

It seems like there's a couple different ways Fundays pops go -

Years past, I saw different variations of the same pops, with different LE numbers for those pops. First that comes to mind for me (so much drama!) was the 2023 Captain America Freddy. 2 molds - Metallic with a lower LE (kind of) and the regular edition.

More recently it seems like we're getting some really low LE pops, but no more common variation - 2026 Captain America Freddy, Captain Carter Franny, etc.

Personally, I liked it when there was a more common variation of the pops, it seemed like trading for those was more wide spread at Fundays. I enjoyed wandering the event, chatting with Funatics, making trades for lines we collected. I would've loved any of the Marvel pops from the 2026 Fundays, but at that low of an LE, little to no trading is happening unless you also got a lucky BoF.

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on these very different Freddy/Franny/Proto Fundays trends?

I enjoy low LE numbers but I would love to see some different characters when it comes to Fundays/Freddy.

Agree. I am getting a little tired of all the variants. Although I do understand that it is more cost effective.

The concept of the variants is cool, but i think they can play a lot more with the same concept, idk why all the low counts are blacklight, maybe for one mold you can make the low count metallic and in another the low count it will be GITD, something like that

I think Low LE figures shouldn't be characters people want to complete a set. Variants of said characters would be fine. So I'd have to prefer LE Variants. An example for this is not with Funko at the moment, but Toy Temple had a Thrilljoy exclusive. The Hero (common) was Stevonnie, whom is important and shows up only a few times in the show. But the Super Chase of 96 is one of the main characters. This baffles me, why would you do this?

Couldn’t agree more. I always loved walking around looking for trades and seeing what everyone got. Camp Fundays was a great example of that. Tons of different LE’s of different Freddy’s from a wide variety of fandoms. Trading was fun and I think most walked away happy. That’s what I would line to see return.

Low LE and way fewer variants, please.

[Bullseye112]

Low LE and way fewer variants, please.

I agree with low LE but I like variants in general but agree there shouldn’t be too many.

[Memone14]

I agree with low limited edition

[MrBarak]

Honestly I prefer quality over quantity that they look awesome and feel awesome but I also understand the limited volume

[NCDS]

Low LE and way fewer variants, please.

I agree with low LE but I like variants in general but agree there shouldn’t be too many.

I get that, but I feel like I have 10 of all my favorite characters; I am no longer trying to be complete. If we are going to do variants, let's at least do variants of characters we haven't done past fundays.

Low LE and way fewer variants, please.

I agree!

There is a cut off for me. if its too limited, i just wont bother. There needs to be a balance of limited availability but also enough that you have a chance of getting it.

low LE is good but it should be a variant that people want. people like metallic or glow. not many people like the black and white / sketch or blacklight. yes the michael myers blacklight last year was and is amazing, but that is the anamoly and not the norm. way too much blacklight this year for the low LEs. plus the raphael should have been switched w the 150 being metallic and the 1050 being non-metallic as the leonardo metallic last year was the lower piece count of his two pops

[bbauwe01]

i personally would prefer only 1 variant of each character. and please no more freddy as captain america. we now are up to 5 freddy's as captain america. and this is coming from someone who loves captain america and freddy's. plenty of other characters they can make
