Uh Oh, Oh Funko!
I really wish I hadn't discovered Funko Pop! Vinyl after I was married and have two hungry and growing daughters. I cannot afford this new infatuation obsession addiction at this point in my life! They MUST stop making awesome figures for characters I grew up loving or am just falling in love with. My wife will not put up with tolerate appreciate my putting my girls on a bread and water diet so Daddy can order all the Arrested Development figures, all the Guardians of the Galaxy figures, and all the incredible one-offs I keep discovering. Alas, I'll just add them all to my amazon wish list and hope for people to look on me with compassion and a generous heart and help feed my addiction! If you like Disney, Marvel, DC, Breaking Bad, Cult TV shows, Popular TV shows, or just about anything else, there's more than likely a Pop Vinyl for that! They make all different variations as well as different sizes of their vinyls. So far, I've just gotten my feet wet with a few Guardians of the Galaxy figures and a few Arrested Development figures (and counting!). They make really cool rare variants as well. For example, so far there are eight Arrested Development characters, but one of those has a rare (or Chase as it's labelled) variant of the Tobias never-nude figure, where instead he's in his Blue Man outfit (or lack thereof). This totally awesome and brilliant variant is produced once for every thirty-six standard versions, meaning you only have a 1-in-36 chance of getting one. Hence the reason Funko is so popular on ebay. Unfortunately Tobias Blued is going for more than I'm allowed by my wife willing to pay. But maybe someday, I'll get my paws on one and never let it go! I've also taken the liberty to request they make a Franklin D Bluth (puppet) figure post haste. Sorry if I've just opened anyone else's mind to a new and costly addiction, but hey I didn't want to be afflicted alone!
