My current guilty pleasure in life is Funko Pops. I started out by buying just the ones based on characters I loved but then my husband got into it, and we became collectors. We started getting serious about it shortly before the summer and we have way too many now. It’s a fun family activity though and collecting them can be both awful and awesome. There are always new ones coming out and then, the exclusives, those are a whole other situation. My husband and I have almost completed our first full collection, the Venom/venomized Pops. We have a lot of Pops but that will be our first complete set. Currently, most Pops are worth more then you pay for them so they can act as an investment too, that is, if you’re willing to sell them. He is and I am, very much, not. But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. So, what makes some of the exclusives awful? Well, Target exclusives are easily the worst. My heart actually sinks when I hear that a new Pop will be an only Target item. It seems Target’s employees like to hide them, making them almost impossible to find. The Target exclusives I’ve gotten are from times when the person I ask doesn’t care about Pops and they find me the hidden ones. I am quite sure someone gets angry about this later in the day. But, some are awesome like the ones that drop with conventions. It’s thrilling to stay up all night waiting on the sales to start online and hope you’ll be able to get the ones your after.
