I don't. But if I did it would be Moon Knight and Khonshu. How about you?

@DEVILinIRON: There actually called Funko Pops, not Funco Pops lol.

But anyway, I only have just 2 Star Wars Cal Kestis/2nd Sister and 1 Anime character Asta from Black Clover. I'm not what you called a collector, I rarely buy the ones I see fit for my liking. Funko Pops are starting to implode though which is surprising. Lots of them are being dumped in landfills. They might be on their way to becoming the next Beanie Babies. (Though I only had one in my childhood lifetime)

Also, I've heard the more you collect over time, the more valuable they'll become, and the most valuable Funko Pops can be worth about $2000 from what I've seen in a collector's eyes.

Edit: By the way, if anyone really likes Funko Pops, (also into Legos) there's going to be a video game for Funko Pops lovers:

I'm tired of playing Lego video games, so this is on my radar.

No. I hate shit like this. I try not to be judgmental about what people spend their money on or do in their free time, but...eeeehhhhhh. This shit is lame. I also don't like the twisted capitalism angle to it where you justify your collection by saying how much they're worth like that's an excuse or you're being savvy.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. We often don't get a choice in what we find compelling. Some people really like feet; I find feet dirty and not really attractive, but I'll be damned if I'm going to tell you "Hey, don't get getting turned on by feet".

If you like Funko whatever, hey that's weird to me, but you do you, homey.

I was going to buy one, back when Breaking Bad was hot, but I could never find a Heisenberg, but stores would always have a shit ton of Jesse Pinkmans, nobody wanted that lame-o. I felt like Arnold in Jingle All The Way when he couldn't find a Turbo Man but they were like "we got plenty of Boosters".

Maybe it was for the best. I might have bought others and gotten addicted and turned into a total nerdy nerd but perhaps that stopped ot on its tracks before I turned into...

No. And I do a pretty convincing line in "Haha, wow thanks... That's great!", So I'm not sure what's going on there.

I can see the appeal since the whole collection has become so massive, but I would rather just spend that money on a more proportionally accurate figure of my favourite pop culture characters.

@mrbojangles25: I do! I didn't buy them, though. I'm notoriously hard to buy gifts for, so my son has been gifting them to me ever since he found the first he thought I'd like (a swimming one from the Olympics that happened to also be Hello Kitty, which he now is also convinced that I love, but it's only because he believes I love it).

I cherish every one he's purchased, and only those ones, lol.

Family is weird.

I do have a few Funko Pops, and there's one or two others I may get soon. I'm not the biggest fan of them, but there's a few I like to get here and there.

I have nothing against having cool looking toys or statues of your favorite characters, but Funko Pops are seriously ugly. No idea why anyone would want them.

My son got me a couple of Pops for X-mas one year and now I have two mini collections. He got me the Original Grey Armor Iron Man so I started collecting the original costume versions of Marvel characters to go with it. I now have 14 Marvel pops and the big ass Galactus to tower over them.

He also got me an Elseworlds Batman and that started me on a Batman collection featuring mostly Elseworlds (alternate universes) themed Batmans. I have 7 different Batmans and 10 other various DC characters.

Other than that I have Vader, Boba Fett, Carbonite encased Han Solo, Mr. Hanky and Conan the Barbarian.

They're this generation's beanie babies. Wait a few years and you'll be able to buy all you want at yard sales and thrift stores.
