We are a family of hobbyists. We definitely like to collect items, build things, and frequent places that we love. My husband’s latest endeavor has been the Funko Pop! vinyl figures. He started his collection a couple of years ago, but it really started to build during this last San Diego Comic Con and the LA Comic Con. We are known to spend an entire day in search of certain Pop! figures when they are released, and his obsession has now rubbed off on me! Not only have I joined my husband in collecting Pop! figurines, but I recently became a Funko affiliate.
In celebration of my new affiliate status, I will be sharing pictures of our collection every Friday in a post called “T.G.I. Funko!” (Special thanks to my hubby for the title!)
Today, I’m showing selections from my very first “vaulted” items, which are from the Pop! Animation series. When I was in my 20’s, I loved The Animaniacs cartoon series. I immediately snapped up the Dot, Yakko and Wakko Pops when they came out at Hot Topic, and they recently became a part of the Funko Vault (above). When an item is “vaulted”, they are no longer available for retail purchase. That doesn’t mean that you can’t get them through a collector or eBay, but you will most likely be paying outside the retail prices that I paid for my collection.
Recently, I came across another wonderful pair from the same animated series as The Animaniacs, which are Pinky and The Brain (below). These are not vaulted yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they become vaulted soon.
