Unboxing 100 FUNKO POPS!

Yeah, you read that right! Jason and I decided that it was far past time for us to work our way through the MASSIVE backlog on Funko Pops in our collection, so we recently unboxed ONE-FREAKIN’-HUNDRED of them in one go! Grab some popcorn before you check out this video! It’s a bit of a marathon. o.O

NYCC GameStop Exclusives Pop Haul and GIVEAWAY!

Of COURSE I had to pick up a few NYCC Exclusive Funko Pops, although you guys might be proud of me because I restricted myself to the GameStop shared exclusives. ^_^ We’re showing them off in this video, but the really exciting part is the GIVEAWAY! If you like exclusive Pops, you should definitely check out the video for details! 😀

Awesome SDCC 2016 Summer Convention Funko Haul!

They’re still coming! We’ve got even more SDCC Exclusives, and some of them are some of Jason’s favorite Pops yet! 😀

Hot Topic SDCC 2016 Summer Convention Exclusives!

Ohh, you didn’t think that other SDCC haul video was going to be the only one, did you? Not a chance! Here’s a batch of Pops that we got from Hot Topic! Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get too many from the HT website, but the ones we did get are pretty damn awesome!

POP, goes the Funko

Have you ever been tormented for your hobbies? That’s probably a silly question; I’m willing to bet that nearly everyone has been tormented at least once or twice for something they enjoy. The key, of course, is to flip those people the bird ignore those people and enjoy what you enjoy, because no one gets to tell you what makes you happy. ^_^

I get a mixture of awe, appreciation, and disgust for my Funko Pop Haul videos because there are a lot of people like me who love them and collect the hell out of them, a lot of people who would love to collect the hell out of them but live vicariously through my videos because they can’t for whatever reason, and then a smattering of people who seemingly watch the videos only so they can comment on how stupid I must be and what a horrible waste of money my hobby is.

Can you say “lol”?

I always get a kick out of those people, because, #1. how I spend my money is so little of your concern that it doesn’t even register on the concern scale, and #2. the overwhelming majority of people with any kind of disposable cash spend it on something that other people thing is a stupid waste of money. That’s human nature; we don’t all enjoy or prioritize the same things.

So with that note in mind, who wants to see some more of my new Funko Pops? XD

Loot Crate Unboxing and Review for September 2014

I was super-excited for this month’s Loot Crate, which had the theme “Galactic”. I won’t say I was disappointed, exactly, but I was a little bit let down. Check out the unboxing video:

Can you see the “let down” look on my face? It’s not that the items weren’t cool, but most of them just weren’t for me, you know? *sigh* So let’s do a value breakdown:

Science Fiction Mystery Mini Loot Crate Exclusive: Mystery Minis of a wide variety tend to go for anywhere between $5 and $10 depending on where you’re buying them. Since this one was an exclusive made just for Loot Crate, I’m going to go ahead and assign it the higher value of $10.
Loot Crate Exclusive Tribble: It’s hard to put a value on this since it’s another exclusive, but I found similar items online for about $10.
Single-Pack Pop Rocks: These seem to go for about $1.50
Star Wars/Asteroids magnet: As usual, I assign these magnets a value of about $1 because, come on…it’s a magnet.
ReAction Kane figure (from Alien): The ReAction figures go for about $10 pretty much everywhere.
Halo comics redemption code: I couldn’t actually find a price for these digital downloads, and I suspect they may actually be free normally, which would make their value $0. If you know better, please correct me.
Firefly Universe Fake “Credits”: Believe it or not this stack of fake money goes for the real price of about $10. Come on, people…it’s kind of cool, but would you really be willing to spend $10 in real money to get a stack of fake money?
Han Solo in Carbonite mini-poster: This mini-poster goes for about $2.

Total approximate value of box: $45
Total cost to me: $30

So, all in all, this wasn’t a great box. The value was lower than previous boxes, and most of the stuff in it just doesn’t do anything for me. The tribble is cute, but I can’t get past the fact that it’s just a ball of fuzz, and the ReAction figure would have been cool if I’d gotten the Alien, but who really cares about Kane in a spacesuit? And I’m sorry, but the Firefly credits just seem stupid to me, especially now that I know that, value-wise, it was actually one of the biggest items in the box. All in all, the only item I really like is the Malcolm Reynolds Mystery Mini.

The Villains and the Heroes boxes were so awesome, Loot Crate…what happened? 😛
