Funko POP! Chat :)

[Flash]

There are many threads for questions about steelbook values and rarities/exclusives and just chatter.

I think we should have one for Funko Pop Vinyls.

Post here any questions you have about certain exclusives, ones you want, or have.

Let's discuss anything POP related maybe even your dream pop list.

I know I asked about it ages ago but I can't remember lol

Was wondering about pop in a box, say we want to subscribe for just one month see how we like it, can we cancel easily? I read something about you can just change it to 0 pops but when would I cancel it?

I haven't cancelled personally, but I've seen comments where people say they've had to cancel, so I'd hazard a guess that it's fairly straight forward to do so.

I've never used pop-in-a-box, but I do subscribe to a few other monthly boxes (e.g. LootCrate) and it's very simple to cancel them. I would suggest looking on their website beforehand and seeing if you can find where you would need to go to cancel. There should be a tab or subheading that you can click on that contains it. Also, a lot of the subscription boxes will have a paragraph or two about how their subscription works. Most times it will include verbiage such as "...cancel at anytime..." or something like that. If they have options for different periods of subscription (like Lootcrate does), such as: Monthly, 3 Months, 6 Months, etc., then you shouldn't have any issues canceling at any point pending you went the route of a monthly subscription. Basically, you should only be held responsible for whatever amount of time you committed to/paid for. Hope this helps...

I had a look, if you already subscribe to PIAB, you just change your subscription to 0 per month, and then if you feel like coming back to it, just alter the amount to X per month. Seems pretty straight forward.

Thanks guys @mlmaier84 and @D4vem88 I'll take a more indepth look

I saw this topic on another forum and it's an interesting question.

What characters do you think have not translated well when made into pops?

Personally I was surprised at the family guy ones, usually the pops make characters really cute but I think particularly the Peter and Stewie are fairly disappointing.

I don't think the frozen young Elsa and young Anna are very good either.

Some Pops really look like the character and some miss the mark for me.

The black widow recently was pretty ugly but the new one that is coming out looks so much better

I think most Pops translate pretty well, some more than others. I agree with your Family Guy example. Personally I don't like the Iron Man Pops, it's the eyes that make it not work because IM doesn't have big eyes!

Great topic of convo! There are a few series that I'm not impressed with....or at least that I feel could've been done much better. I really wish they would've waited longer to do The Simpsons. I like Krusty the most, but feel like ALL of them could've been done MUCH BETTER!

I only focus certain groups of pops like marvel, game of thrones, breaking bad & Walking Dead. Only 1 pop disappoints me wgich is black widow and why I never picked it, planning to preorder the new version.

Strange that the @ tag didn't notify me again for some reason

I know a lot of people that say they don't get tags or notifications. Not sure why it's only certain people though...

Do we have a thread for Boondock Saints, yet? Came across some glams today and didn't remember hearing about them before.

 

[kaw]

@mlmaier84 I don't think we made one. Must have gotten lost in the massive thread addition hullabaloo earlier this year. haha

Update: Thread Added

 

[mlmaier84]

@kaw - THANKS KRIS!!!

(I'd better move chat here lol)

@D4vem88 do you have any of the other TNG ones?

 

[D4vem88]

@Flash
No, he's the only one I wanted. He sits with Kirk and Spock (RIP) and hangs out with my signed Patrick Stewart Steelbook (Xmen)
