The Pop to start an addiction

[RoboFist]

My very first Pop was V from V for Vendetta. I bought him on a whim at a comic shop one day because I had the extra cash, and the concept of a ruthlessly violent terrorist/freedom fighter designed to look adorable was hilarious to me. It would be another year before I started collecting seriously...here's the blog post about it that I wrote back in 2012...back when I was so naive: http://djcblog.tumblr.com/post/22479359760

The Pop that broke the camel's back was, undeniably, Jason Voorhees. He was the very next Pop that I bought (again, an entire year later), and I only bought him because Halloween was coming up.

But, of course, then I spotted a Freddy Krueger Pop a few days later, and I figured "Well, can't have Jason without Freddy..."

It all snowballed from there.

Either way, I blame both V and Jason for my 70+ and rapidly growing collection.

Super Saiyan Goku started it for me. Then Jax Teller, then Commander Shepard, then Alien Xenomorph...

My first Pop was Loki. I bought him because of how much I love Tom Hiddleston in the movies, and I thought that I'd want to start collecting after that. However, there were so many different Marvel's one out there, based on the films, on the comics, etc., that I think I got a little overwhelmed and ended up stopping after getting him, Tony Stark, and War Machine. About a year later Jon Snow came out and, being that I'm a massive GoT fan, I bought him...and that's when it actually started spiraling. I thought I'd only collect the GoT ones, because it was manageable, but now I sort of buy whatever I see and like as well.

My collection isn't that big, only at 40, but it pains me to say I can't remember which one was my first one. It was either Glenn from TWD or Jon Snow. Although those are 2 of my favourite 3 people in the world (3rd being Khaleesi)

The worst is when there is a store close to your home which sells them. I HAVE TWO STORES. So now its ritual to go browse in both and I never leave empty handed

My girlfriend bought me a Khal Drogo at a comic store in NYC. I in turn bought her a Khalessi. And the journey began....

My first Pop! was Donald Duck, then it led to collected all of Disney Wave 3, then ALL Disney, and the rest just spiraled out of control

[lookslost]

Buffy...The very regular one. Still looking for the SDCC variant haha

[keekster]

Gold Loki. I now have all the Loki Pops. My collection is small, overall, but slowly growing. Damn those bobbly little heads....

Flocked Beast!!! My favorite POP

[ThatMarvelGuy]

All of the Beatles and the Blue Meanie were my first, after that i blinkd nad now im running out of room in my house to live in..

I had been admiring them for a long time without ever thinking of collecting them.

Then one day I saw the whole Simpsons line on the clearance table at Barnes and Noble.

Thus began my collection with Homer, Bart, Marge and Krusty.

Walter White rocking in his undies.

[Spider-Ham]

Hiro Hamada in a zbox from Zavvi. Then my birthday happened a couple days later and the wife bought a couple more and it's starting to spiral haha

[laufeyson]

Nick Fury was my first, but he didn't really start me collecting. My second was Renly and after I got him I knew I had to have more.

[Kuro-kun]

My very first Pop was DJ Pon-3 from HT a couple years ago. It all started a year ago when I was hunting down Grey Wind. Although...he was my 7th Pop, I loved the hunt and the cuteness

For us it was the Pop Rocks! Line. From there it just spread to all different lines

Before I actually bought my first Pops, I got hooked just by seeing t-shirts and wallets with Pops on them. When I saw Belle and Beast, it was over.

I feel like my addiction started early-ish last year. I was in a fairly stressful situation at the time and I went to a local comic book shop and bought an Electro Pop I had my eye on. I already knew of Pops since Superman was my first, but not too long after getting Electro my birthday came along and I got 3 Pops I wanted, and it just kind of escalated from there.

My friend got me the Mickey Mouse figure for Christmas like 4 years ago cause I'm a huge Disney fan. At the time I was hardcore into Vinylmation and was spending so much money on those that didn't want to get started on collecting another line of figures. Flash forward like a year...Disney Movie Rewards had a bunch of the Avengers Pops on their site. I was obsessed with the Avengers so I got Hulk, Cap, and Fury. I figured I needed to complete the Avengers lineup so I bought the rest. It was all down hill after that.

[Gelibeli9]

For me it was the Star Wars Shadowtrooper! Which was over four years ago. I walked into a hobby store and me eyes were drawn to it. It was way before the Funko hype, so I had no idea what Funko was. And that's how it started.

Harley Quinn....then the addiction began

My first pop was my SDCX 2014 GITD Princess Bubblegum. I kinda became an addict after that. I only intended to have 6 figures and now I have 39 or so.
