What is your first Funko collectible, and where do you display it?

My first Funko collectible was Pop! Bumblebee, specifically the Transformers: Age of Extinction version. He is currently displayed above my desk at home!

Is there a special story or memory behind your first Funko collectible?

I have been a huge fan of the Transformers franchise for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I watched the first live-action film to the point of memorization. Knowing this, my best friend gifted me Pop! Bumblebee about a decade ago. Not only did it spark my current collection, but it also introduced me to Funko and put me on the path of being with the company today.

How does this collectible inspire your work?

Of all the Transformers, Bumblebee has always been my favorite. His humor, confidence, and determination remain constant across all renditions of the franchise. That example of steadfast positivity has been incredibly influential in pushing me to explore new horizons of creativity!
