Loot Crate is cheaper in the U.S. And Nerd Block ALWAYS has a shirt. So if you don't like nerdy tshirts for whatever reason don't go paying for that.

Done today, you can't see it in this photo but his tail(?) wraps around into a lamp on the inside of my wrist.

The Firefly ones tho. I'm realllly looking forward to the new Legacy figures because they are doing a series of Fantastic Mr. Fox figures.

If anyone has any JF stuff they want to sell me. PM me.

jeeeesus. what are you using as stands?

Getting my Genie tattoo this Thursday.

Getting a Genie tattoo Thursday.

Holy shit, yeah he is glow in the dark too - totally forgot he was apart of series 2.

Wait what? Best Buy matches Amazon prices? In store?

I don't thinkkkk so. I haven't seen any chase variants for the series 2 horror figures... But that whole release was riddled with problems - there are still a few pieces that have yet to ship to retailers. So one could potentially pop up when it finally launches completely.

Oh, also I assume you all know - but when shipping anything don't just a box that these JUST fit in - because USPS will crush them and you will be sad. My for sale list is as follows: DC Comics: General Zod Wonder Woman Superman Darkseid Reverse Flash (rare) Black Lantern Flash (rare) Blue Lantern Flash (rare) Domo Superman TV: Big Bang Theory x Star Trek Leonard (SDCC Exlcusive) Big Bang Theory x Star Trek Raj (SDCC Exlcusive) Big Bang Theory x Star Trek Howard (SDCC Exlcusive) Big Bang Theory Amy (SDCC Exlcusive) The Walking Dead Rick Grimes (Season 1) The Walking Dead The Govenor and much to my surprise thats it... I managed to sell A LOT more than I remember, huh. The SDCC Big Bang are really cool, they are half clear and half painted like they are being "beamed up" all the exclusives have stickers and stuff too marking them as thus. Edit: Oh shit. I also have three of the "mini 2 packs" which are tiny little duo packs. I have Mike and Sulley from Monsters Inc, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Ariel and Ursela from The Little Mermaid.

Mehhhh not really? Like records just save the shipping supplies you get if you order any offline. I also have a bunch of bubblewrap around so it's not a huge deal for me. I just wrap the box loosely in bubblewrap and then add some newspaper to fill the excess space in the box. Fugitive Toys also sells "pop protectors" which are like little plastic cases that fit over the boxes? but the only ones I have came on the more expensive ones I bought aftermarket. Which reminds me; I've decided to downsize my collection and focus on only the Batman related figures for now - so I have a handful of these for sale if anyone would be interested.

I was in a hot topic yesterday that had a handful of Cas figures. It was buy two get one free as well. I could maybe go back at some point if you don't find him. Also; as far as subscription boxes go - this months Nerd Block is supposed to have an exclusive Pop too.

People are buying the shit out of Groot so he is actually kind of rare already. I saw a guy on the Funko Trading Group on facebook with like 25 of them.

Website wise? Fugitive Toys, and Gemini Collectibles are top for North America. Other decent sources include Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, and surprisingly Hot Topic. Also, store wise: Barnes and Noble, Hot Topic, and Comic Shops are probably your best bet but Walmart, Walgreens, and 7/11 also carry them in limited numbers (and very rarely, Gamestops) Also; the bobble heads are the same line, I only know of them with the Marvel series and I think they make them that way because someone owns the rights to make Marvel "toys" and bobble-heads aren't toys but collectibles.

Almost counter productive late night bump.

Right, so; Random facts? I'm not sure yet - maybe I'll think of some as I go along... Rarest figure? Depends on how you look at it... some people collect the prototype sculpts that come in white and colored vinyl and are limited to a few items each... but since those are basically the test presses of the toy world - the SDCC Fun-Days event mascot figures are pretty damn rare in some cases. Each year around SDCC they have a huge fan event and they give away / sell all kinds of rare prototypes and what are known as "Freddies" which are figures of 'Freddy Funko' their mascot. They will put out limited run versions of figures with his head stylized on the body of some of that years best selling sculpts like this year there was a Deadpool Freddy - or probably the most sought after of these - the Batman Freddy from years ago. All of that being the Alex from A Clockwork Orange is also REALLY damn rare and arguable the most valuable. There are a few kinds of variants - most series have a "chase" variant which was / is limited production like for every 32 regular Freddy Kruger there is a Bloody version - those are pretty standard and come in styles like "bloody" for the horror series, "metallic" for the comic book ones typically... glow-in-the-dark, black and white, etc. Then there are retail / event exclusive variants like the Patina Dark Knight Batman from SDCC a while back, for which the sculpt is exactly the same as the mass-released dark knight figure but the paint job is weathered. General rule of thumb with collecting these - almost all of these are limited and there is no telling when they will retire a figure - also as seen recently with the early Batman villains, no telling when they will bring them back..

Small individually owned comic shops have variants - they seem to work with anyone who is willing to pay for them. Yeah, I've only run into one that had Pops! at all and no exclusives... Most have no idea what they even are. Go figure.

Yeah, thats a pretty good price too depending what shipping from them costs.

I think they are selling the burned Gus on the official BB store site.

Help a kid out

Similar to the records - you can still find them in stores so ask around on here and maybe someone can help you out,

Everyone is getting into the Exclusive game. Even Walmart has put a few out at this point.

The limited edition of the new WWE game comes with a variant Hulk figure too. It's pretty crazy how popular these are getting.
