My first pop was Wolverine . I used to always pass by Barnes and Nobles and the Marvel and DC Pop characters always caught my attention. Been addicted to Funko Pops since.

Bebop from TMNT. I love the character. I wear red Chuck Taylors like him often. I just wish I hadn't taken him out and thrown the box away. Although it's nice seeing the whole TMNT line loose on display.
Total Dorbz Count: 9 lol
Total Pop Count- 400+ I lost count...

Back in 2013, it was suppose to be Donatello (TMNT). I ended up buying Agnus and Carl from Despicable Me for my wife instead. Kind of like to see what she thought of the whole Funko Pop line. Next thing I know she loved it and here we are with almost 300 Pops.

I know right! At first, i didn't really care all that much for Pops. Then I was thinking like, I'm going to meet Shannon lee! Bruce Lee's Daughter! I might as well buy one of these toy things to get signed lol And ended up really liking the pop. Afterwards I looked at what else they had in pops and got hooked! :D

I really can't remember which one was my first, but my negan Prototype and my headless Hershel are my favorites. I'm really racking my brain and can't remember my first.

The first one(s) that started it for me was at C2E2 when I saw the Regular Show Gang (Mordecai, Rigby and Muscleman) got all three for $20, didn't collect much after those but then the wife got into the Harry Potter and Doctor Who waves and we've just gone from there.

The first pop I got one wasn't one that I bought, but it started it all. My wife got me a loot crate subscription box for a Christmas present. In that loot crate box was a joker funko pop, my favorite DC character.

The first Pop I bought was the Governor from The Walking Dead. I was at a Comic Con and saw the figures and had no idea what they were but I was really into TWD and saw him. I bought Rick for a friend and Legolas for my son. Little did I know what I started. I began to research others and found a whole community etc.... The rest is history. Also realized that my sons top pop is Legolas from years ago, threw away the box of course because I didn't know.....LOL

Burning Godzilla for me and then it was all down hill from there. I can't even remember how I saw it, my husband was looking for a valentine's day gift and I said I wanted the Godzilla because it looked "cute" and had some of my favorite colors (black & red). Once he arrived, I was in love which led me to discover how many other things FUNKO had!

The wife bought me a black and white Daryl from walmart.. randomly as a birthday gift. thinking i would like it...

I hated it, thought it was stupid, and i had no where to put it.. So it sat.. for about 2 years.. then i saw some randomly in a store... Saw a tony stark from the origional avengers and bought it... And over 700 pops later LOL
Some of the best memories in life, can be made by simply taking a chance. I took a chance with Funko, and it has brought myself and my family fun and smiles for the past five years since.

Hoping for Fundays 2018!!!!!!

Being a big Conan O'Brien fan, the first one I got was given to me after a show. The Pop that started it all for me was Stormtrooper Conan at SDCC 2016. I managed to get the set of 4 that year. The coolest part is that I am still friends with some of the Funatics I met at the time.
