well technically I was first given a Pop! Wonder Woman #8, but the first one I ever purchased was Steven (hot topic exclusive GITD) because my name is Steven and I'm a bit of a pretentious d-bag. So there ya go! lol

I got the original Jack Sparrow as a gift, and I’ve been hooked ever since! Hard to say the first I actively bought, but if I had to guess, it was Tyrion with armor

I had bought POPs for my son and wife but never for myself. Then one year for my birthday my son got me Rick from TWD. It was followed by a few choice POPS before I gave into collecting.

I remember seeing some of the original Disney and Star Wars Pops when I worked at Barnes and Noble years ago, and I have many I wish I had purchased back then. I think the first one I bought was Bumble on clearance for $1.80. I should have bought the rest of the Rudolph set too, as it was all on clearance at that point. The problem was I didn't have all that much money to spend on that stuff because I worked at Barnes and Noble at the time.

The first Pop I actually purchased for myself was Glenn from TWD. Though I already had a couple of pops given to me as gifts before that, I'm sure that first purchase was the official start of my pop habit...

I actually bought four of them at the same time. My firsts were the GS Exclusive Star Wars Day Pops. Hoth Han, Hoth Chewy, Figrin Dan, and I believe it was R2-B1?

As soon as I laid eyes on them, I started talking to the a man working the booth about the possibility of doing the whole Satellite era justice league which is my favorite team. I wish I could remember who it was that I was talking to, but he said they had big plans. The clamshell was certainly unique, but I prefer the box for sure!

I remember seeing the Orion Slave Girl at my local B&N all of the time, but it wasn't until they made Firefly that I started buying Pops. My first was the dirty Kaylee Frye Hot Topic exclusive. That Orion Slave Girl was purchased later that week.

The first time I purchased PoPs was back in 2011. I purchased the Funko Batman Pop Heroes 6 Piece Vinyl Figure Set from Gemini Collectable through Amazon for $52.88 shipped. It included the original DC PoPs of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Penguin, Riddler, and the Joker. It was a gift for a friend who was big into Batman. She still has the PoPs, but damaged, then discarded the boxes.

Original Superman, only bought it as it was cheap and thought it'd look good on a shelf. Forgot about it for over 6 months then looked them up and saw they made Power Rangers and Friends, and that was me hooked.

First pops purchased were for tabletop decorations for my sons 7th birthday; Darth Vader and Yoda.
I went back and picked up a bobble head Batman.
I remember the struggle of keeping the box or not; keeping it in the box wasn't an option! ;-)
Personally, the first pop I bought for myself was Arkham Harley from Hot Topic
