About marvel funko pops!

Postby HorrorPops » Mon Dec 04, 2017 5:17 am

I am a huge fan of marvel comics/movies and i really want to buy a few characters as funko pops! Like spiderman thor loki and iron man BUT with the infinity war movie coming out in 5 months im not sure if i should buy thor and loki now from thor ragnarok or spiderman from his solo movie.

What should i do? Wait for funkos from infinity war or buy some now?

Buy both versions. More importantly, if you collect what you love, you will never be disappointed.

Everyone is going to echo this (see post above): buy what you love.

It will always come down to preference. Why not wait to see what the new mold will look like and then decide which to buy. If you're not in a rush to buy, that seems like the most logical thing to do. Hopefully that helps.

Above statements are correct, only thing I might add is that the moulds keep getting more and more complex and intricate, so if you plan to only get one version of the characters that you like, newer ones tend to have cooler poses and designs.

It depends. The designs for the Infinity War characters are out there. If there are any of those that you prefer to the designs previously used, go ahead and wait. The opposite applies, as well.

As someone with numerous versions of a number of Marvel characters, I'd say there is no right or wrong answer. Just find the one(s) you like the most and get those!

What I will add is that the chances that the new Homecoming and Ragnarok POPs are vaulted (retired) by the time that they announce the Infinity War POPs (most likely sometime in February) is very low, meaning that if they announce the Infinity War POPs and you like the Homecoming Spiderman better or there isn't a Thor (etc), you can probably still go out and find them for retail.

If you're doing this for love and passion, you can never go wrong with what you pick. There will ALWAYS be variants in this industry and that's how they make money, especially with a diverse product line like Marvel where characters change costume and design every 3 months or so depending on the artist/movie. My advice to you is if you like a design, buy it because there will be another character design in a few months or even a year.

Ha! Two of each character? I collect two of each Spider-Man related design. One for my OOB Spider-Verse shelf and one for MIB. Freaking Walgreens. #-o

Two of each design is a little wild haha. That's some dedication! I'm really picky anymore about what I buy.
