Funko pop stonekeeper

[Eman185]

It's going to be a Vormir exclusive. Only attainable after you sacrifice the pop you most love off the edge of a cliff.

Lol I don’t know if I’d be willing to make that sacrifice. Well maybe my Gamora Pop...

[Kaljor]

soooooooooooooooooon!

This is a secret code, right? The number of extra o’s refers to the number of days before it will be up on the shop? I’ve broken the code!

Each 'o' represents full moons, so it is months, not days.

[volsspongebob]

soooooooooooooooooon!

And with that, Hope arises.

Yeah, who cares about a “hunt”? I just want the character. Do people really sit around the living room, gathered around the Pop, while someone goes on about how they acquired it?

“Yeah, it was a Wednesday morning... June of 2018. I was sitting in front of my laptop at 7:29. All of the sudden there were two Facebook notifications on my phone and someone had texted me a dancing kitty GIF, but I remained focused. Nothing would distract me from my task of refreshing the funko-shop.com page....”

Some people do get personal enjoyment out of accomplishing difficult tasks. It's not necessarily about sharing it with others, but the personal sense of accomplishment that comes from achieving a hard to reach goal. There's a reason the "thrill of the hunt" is a phrase.

Yeah, but the “thrill of the hunt” refers to the fact that chasing something is more satisfying than actually getting it, and usually once you get it, you lose interest. That’s not a good thing.

Not getting your point.... for some people, chasing something is just as, if not more, satisfying then the object itself. I'm not sure if you can objectively say that is a good or bad thing. As long as someone is enjoying themselves and not harming anyone else, I prefer not to cast judgement or mock them. I know I enjoy something more when I feel like I've "earned" it. There's a reason my favorite pops tend to be ones I had to work for and not the ones I wandered into the store and grabbed off the shelf.

I agree the ones I worked for are some of my favorite ones. They come with a memory and I had a lot of fun working to get them.

I look at those and think, “What a pain in the *** that was to get. It should have been easier.”

[clutch09]

You mean, make Stone keeper a common instead of an exclusive? no thanks.

That would totally defeat the purpose of the hunt.

it's not really a hunt... it's more of who can add to cart and check out fastest!!!

Lol. You're not wrong. But sometimes an actual hunt is great. I stalked 6 walmarts in my area for the chase gitd sixer and found 3 of them and filled a great sense of accomplishment. Lol

[XSRK]

Maybe Friday?

Im going to make sure to check on Friday. That’s usually the extra day they put new items up when it happens otherwise maybe next Wednesday

I give up trying to predict anything.

I’m with you on that

[philipali]

let's just wait on it this week.. i sure hope it drops

To be clear, I'm not begrudging anyone getting some extra satisfaction out of an especially difficult to acquire item. But I'm perfectly comfortable rejecting the idea that the hunt should be the sole or primary motivation for a piece, which is the vibe I was getting from the OP. You see things like, "I don't collect this line or have any interest in the character, but it was a chase," or "I don't really collect this, but FOMO." Sorry, but that's just silly. I've been in the collecting game for a long time, and memories of the hunt fade. What you are left with is your love for the item.

[dolphinax2]

:freddy2: ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh good to know.

And hopefully it won't be shipped like Jack Jack was. I'd like a minty one...correction - I'd like a CHANCE for a minty one.

That was heart breaking when I saw how banged up my box was and mine was better than a lot.

Yes, Kurt and I had both ordered, one came in good condition the second one, not so good

[Kaljor]

memories of the hunt fade.

That's because you never hunted a bigfoot, nessie, or a vampire.

I think this is definitely a ymmv. My love for particular characters or toys can wax and wane but my most precious items are the ones that I have fond memories associated with, even sometimes when I failed at getting something, I still look back and remember getting to hang out with friends and try our best. Funko encourages a strong community for just that reason. I have a Blood Splattered Hannibal from SDCC several years ago and while I was never much into the show, I love that pop because 1) it was a definitely work to get and 2) because my bff was ultimately the one who got it for me as she was getting hers. Those memories are way more precious than the pop itself and I love looking at it and it reminding me of that experience. I would never even have gotten that pop had it just been sitting out on a shelf somewhere.

[cerealkiller]

What's wrong with peoples motivation as sole or primary for the hunt? I understand that it's not yours but isn't collecting an individual experience? Take my recent win from Punk Rock Bowling. I spent 20 years trying to get that piece of medal that says I am a PRB champion. Could I buy that and print it on there, yes, would it meant the same to me, no. Yes that is more extreme than sleeping in line for a Funko pop but the meaning is the same. It brings me back to what Kevin Smith says in the documentary, it becomes a experience that you can share with people.

I think memory of the hunt may fade for you but don't discredit what it can do for others, that's not fair to them. I have made so many friends in the hunt that sometimes the hunt does mean more than the item, because we did it together.

FOMO may seem silly to you but it's not for a lot of people. It's a form of social anxiety that can be hard for some people to over come. When I see that type of behavior from someone I try to be supportive and let them know it's cool either way. Either way I think at some point in our lives we all have a bit of FOMO and it's okay, sometimes it gets you to go do something you wouldn't have before.

I tell people to collect what they like, and not buy things they really aren't interested in just because they feel the need to.

I encourage that also but I'm also okay if that is how they choose to collect. At the end of the day if they look at they item and remember being included and it makes them happy I think that is pretty awesome. In the end isn't collecting just about what makes you happy.

Certainly. I just think that people who say, "I don't really care about this, but I feel like I have to get this," aren't happy. They're addicted. Happiness would be freedom from the addiction.

Computer bots, roll out.

I really don't know how to reply to that, to judge someone for their addiction is incomprehensible. I lost a friend from addiction, it was one of the hardest things I have gone through in my life. If I could have bought my friend a pop to even give him a moment of happiness I would have done it in a second. I will not judge someone in that manner, no one should. We are not the ones who get to choose what someone's happiness is.


On that note I feel this got really off track and a bit to serious for this thread. Let's get back to Stonekeeper, for those of you tuning in we mean from the marvel universe and not the kids book!

[PhoenixForce]

I need him!! My Glow Thor got in today

I looked up the kids book and demand Stonekeeper Pops!

[nerdy_jesus13]

Looks like he will be releasing sometime this week. Good thing I’m off on Wednesday cause I definitely don’t want to miss him.

[supertoygiant]

So maybe I'm just an optimist, but I'm thinking Funko saw the popularity and hype and decided to produce more stonekeepers than the original run. So they had to delay it's release while they made more.

I think that would be well worth the wait!

Or they made a gitd Chase and waiting for it to arrive.

[Flyers179]

Can't wait for this week! Looking forward to this pop (maybe my favorite moment in the film).

I respectfully disagree that there is a thrill of the hunt with online exclusives. Your order goes through or it doesn't..and if it doesnt..enjoy paying 100 for a 15 dollar pop.

There is no personal sense of accomplishment for me in this aspect..only those who want something others cannot have.

I find the thrill of the hunt is more satisfying finding things that are..hard to find.

I get it though..it's the hahaha I got it and you didn't collectors culture.

I value the hunt at times as much as the item I am hunting. I have made some amazing friendships from waiting in lines with folks. As many others have also said, collecting is an individual experience that each of us get, or don’t get, satisfaction or joy from. You do you and i’ll do me.
