I feel you on your cousin. My wife just got hooked around the middle of February and she has more than me now. I originally bought her a Belle, Beast and Marshawn Lynch in late December, figuring that since I had 15-20 of these things then maybe I should get her a couple in order to keep her off of my case.

She just had those and an Amy Winehouse she bought for herself for almost two months. Then around mid-February we discovered the price guides and apps and the crap hit the fan for both of us. The thing with her is she is more quantity of quality, she will buy any thing she thinks is cute as long as it's a good deal, while I stick with collections of stuff I really like. Case and point, below is her Batman collection and the girl never even really liked Batman or Robin, Batgirl, She-Hulk, etc.. I had to make deals with her to get her to go see the Dark Knight and the Dark Night Rises.



It didn't help that the very first time we took a trip "out in the wild" we found a Chase in the very first store that we went in... An Erik Killmonger in JCPenny of all places. Talk about creating an addiction. That will do it.

I need to pre-order the Princess Bride line. And catch up on my Batman series.

Lol, that's pretty awesome! Impressive collection too. They are definitely a neat representation of just about anything in pop culture.

And finding that Chase Killmonger like that... at JCP... that's just Wow!

I'm hoping for a 2nd wave of Princess Bride pops with Fezzik (especially, after watching the Andre the Giant documentary last night) and Vizzini. I'm not sure how they were left out in the first place.

My wife is beginning to dabble in making custom pops. Right now she has just glittered some and she's getting the stuff in to make flocked ones as well. She's pretty crafty so hopefully she can get good at it so that if they don't come through with a Fezzik soon then maybe I'll see if she can make a one out of Andre's WWE pop.

Is is just me or are there genuinely creepy look pops? I was looking at the Doug series and Doug looks creepy AF.

There's a lot of horror pops that are really creepy, unless you're talking about unintentionally creepy and I'm sure there's plenty of those as well. For me any kind of clown, demon or zombie are all pretty creepy. Also, anything with dead or disfigured kids. This one are probably one of the most hilarious creepy ones though:

From American Horror Story

Also, the one that's probably the most disturbing to me is this:

I can only imagine a little kid stumbling up on that in Target

One that's pretty disturbing that I have to have is this Georgie Chase. He would go great in my horror collection right next to my Pennywise.

I caved and bought my 4th Pop.

I didn't realize it was a bobblehead (doesn't bother me at all) and it has sort of a metallic finish.

My latest pickups... some randoms that I thought were cool. Thor exclusive for my Marvel case. Insomniac Spider-Man. And Bo Jackson, my idle growing up.

Only one to show up is the Spider-Man from GS. The others I used some store rewards from Hot Topic or Funko Shop.
