Tell us your favorite Funko story!
My collection started with DC, Marvel and Movie Wacky Wobblers, then my friend introduced me to Pop!s when she gave me SDCC Black Superman Pop!. At Toycon (that's the Philippines' version of SDCC) I bought the set of KISS Pop!s and from then on, I went Pop! hunting almost every day, whether it was online or by visiting the official Funko distributors to see what's new in their store. I also like helping other Funatics by taking pictures of what is in stock and posting it on our local Facebook group.
Since I'm from the advertising world, my days can be really stressful. But when I started collecting Funko, and taking pictures, I found that it became a stress reliever for me. I started posting pictures daily in our Facebook group or on my own Instagram account. Through collecting Funko, I have been able to gain friends in other Funko collectors from all around the globe!
