Tell us your favorite Funko story!
I encountered Funko for the first time at a friend's house. My adoration for his collection prompted a three-hour long search through all the available Pop!s available until I had chosen the ones I needed the most!
Since then my love for Funko has grown immensely. I have about 100 pop!s and various other Funko products such as Wobblers, Dorbz, and 1 Hikari. I am part of a wonderful group of collectors called “Connecticut Funko” through which I have made many friends!
My girlfriend and I collect together and its one of the things we share that makes our relationship special! I also have been honing my photography skills ever since the first Funko Photo a Day challenge, I love finding new settings for my Funko photography. Because of all the aforementioned reasons and the purest sense of nostalgia and joy I receive on a daily basis just by seeing my collection, I love Funko!
