When and how did you first learn about Funko? Did you start collecting right away or did it develop over time?

What’s your favorite Funko memory?

"My first trip to Funko Hollywood in California was so memorable. I felt like I was at home! I loved all of the displays and the fact that I could make a Funko Pop! of myself! I also love seeing the Funko booth at New York Comic Con! I've seen it twice (2022 and 2023) and I've loved the energy of everyone at the booth! It's always full of smiles."

What motivated you to start photographing your collection and sharing the photos on social media?

"I've always loved taking photos (I took photography classes in college and have my Bachelors degree in Journalism) and I enjoyed seeing other people post their Funko photography. So honestly, other Funatics inspired me to start taking photos of my collection and posting them!"

Can you share a little bit about your thought process going into staging and taking photos of your collectibles?

"I love to take inspiration from the media that the characters of my Funko Pops! are in (movies, shows, photos). For example, I took a picture of one of my Wanda Maximoff Funko Pops! and edited the Scarlet Witch tiara from a Scarlet Witch Funko Pop! as a shadow and I loved how it turned out! It was very unique and other people seemed to enjoy it too!"

What advice do you have for other Funatics taking photos of their collection?

"Be creative! It's so fun to try different ideas with pictures. You might inspire someone else to be creative! I also recommend adding filters to enhance colors."
