Collection Update (March 25, 2016)

Got to add my 6" Pops and fix one out of focus image but you get the idea.

Todays Haul: Superior Spider-Man

#003 Spider-Man Superior: Hot Topic

I guess this is Funko being lazy and not creating a new mold for what could be a much better Spider- Man. Got to step-up your game Funko bring out quality not quantity, we are hooked already don't abuse your power. Small rant for today thanks for reading and Happy Hunting.

Not Deadpools?

Foolkiller, Solo, and Terror

Gambling my least favorite thing when dealing with pops and to be honest after buying six of these guys I failed to get the complete set. The fun is opening that one rare and low chance of getting Chase and it not fun when you open the last of six or twelve and you don't see that Purple little booger. I got lucky and had a friend sell me one of his extras and I excited to add these guys to my collection.

In the title of the post it say "Not Deadpools?" and I want to enlighten those that believe this is just that Deadpool variants. Well your right they are all variant prints of Deadpool mold number 20 but they are in fact different characters from the Marvel Universe that are hired to help Deadpool stay relevant as he is running a team of the Avengers. Solo was first and shortly after making Deadpool a little more popular, Deadpool decided to recruit more members. The Rainbow Squad was born singling out a Deadpool imposter tarnishing the Deadpool name and the story got it own comic series Deadpool's Merc$ for Money. I think the point I wanted to get across is these guys are not Deadpool like Anti-Venom and Carnage are not Venom, they are repaints of the Venom mold but they are different characters.

Good news for those who didn't get so lucky but some source believe this guy will be available in the following months on Popcultha without it's sticker. Anyways good luck and I hope I never have to do this gambling thing for a while. Happing Hunting and good luck.

The Who Live in Pittsburgh

Loot Crate Exclusive

Went on a trip to Pittsburgh yesterday to see The Who live with my Brother. After a late night of jamming to some of the best rock ever, and drinking and playing pool afterward at the nearest watering hole my Brother surprised me with this little fellow. Before the storm of Deadpool that started my 2016 year Groot was the over produced pop with several variants and I dreaded the idea of getting him or Rocket in my Guardians of the Galaxy Collector Corps Box. This Groot is amazing compared to the others I currently have (I'm missing Mossy Groot and Angry Groot) and it because he glows in the dark. Groot's left hand is clear and when set in the sun it charges glows once it is in a dark area. Big thanks to my Brother for the gift and the great night out, Happy Hunting everyone.

Todays Haul: The Thing.

The Thing

Todays haul thanks to a local seller, The Thing is a rarer pop since he is vaulted or no longer being distributed. Unfortunately for me that usually means he will be more expensive and a good way to make sure you are not paying over it value is using a couple sites. Some great sources for values of your pops is POP Price Guide with combination with Ebay recent sales. Stay knowledgable with your hunt and POP! ON.

Captain America 3: Civil War

Civil War Pops

For all the Funko Hunters looking for all the Captain America 3: Civil War Pops above is all the Pops available from local stores. On March 1st Hot Topic had a hard release on #136 Iron Man (unmasked): Hot Topic, #132 Black Widow and #128 War Machine with a soft release on #127 Falcon: Hot Topic which made it to the east coast on the 5th. Also on March 1st Game Stop came in for the win on the hard release on  all the commons #125 Captain America, #126 Iron Man, #128 War Machine, #129 Winter Soldier, #130 Black Panther, #131 Agent 13, #132 Black Widow, #133, Scarlet Witch, #Crossbones, and exclusive Captain America (Punching): Game Stop. Most Game Stops also received #135 Giant-Mans but the street date was moved to May 1st and can not be sold.

Civil War Pops (Side)

Tips for the hunt if you are running a little late is to get your exclusives they have fewer in the wild, greater value, and these exclusives are pretty amazing with a action pose, a unique unmask and our first look at a favorite character Falcon. Wanting you save some money on such a large set then wait on the commons, we all know Game Stop is not best place for prices and they can be preordered on BAM's website and will most likely be at Barnes and Noble soon for $1 to $2 in savings per Pop.

Civil War Pops (Tops)

Now there is a few more exclusives on the way and many of them are available on Popcultha's website without the exclusives stickers, so if you are in a hurry check that out to complete this set and move on to some more awesome pops.
