My goodness, thanks for sharing this, Mikey. Not the same situation, but I lost my niece when I was in college (sister is 8 years older than me). She had just turned 11. I was devastated, but hearing your story helps me remember all of the good times. Like you said, always squash those beefs. You just never know what’s going to happen. Much love, my friends.

Collectibles will never be dead. As time keeps moving forward so does nostalgia, and with all the licenses esp w Sports pops, and famous shows, movies, comics, anime, there is too many to fail. They are great long term investment if you can keep them MINT. Cheers!

Losing someone and not being able to say goodbye is one of the worst things that’s happened in life. My brothers wife, who had been really close to my family got Covid while she was pregnant. Was the first patient to be pregnant and have Covid in the state. Because of all the restrictions only my brother and her mom got to say goodbye. Started tearing up hearing Mikey’s story, thanks for sharing your story.

Mikey...love goes out to your Mom for her generosity of giving donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Without people like her the medications (Trikafta) would not be available today. Cystic Fibrosis is considered an "Orphan Disease" which means there is no government funding for finding a cure for CF. All the advancements in treatment of CF have been solely placed on the community of families that are affected by this disease. Advancements have been made and those whom have donated are the reason why. With genetic modifiers like Trikafta the life expectancy for people that have CF have increased by decades. This hits hard at home for me and my family. Back in the 2010's the life expectancy for someone with CF was 40 years of age, if you were lucky, today this is much higher. Thank you for sharing your story and MUCH thank you goes out to your Mom!

Best part of Funko Pops is if you have any niche media fandom Funko got you covered with some kind of merch. Worst part is when they would fill up the shelves with hundreds of D rank characters and properties and ignore the evergreen S tier. It’s cool they have a Dr. Cox from Scrubs pop. It’s not cool they made thousands of The Eternals that no one would buy,

Funko is dying but 20,000 Box of Fun boxes of $105 sold out this week with more people not getting selected in the lottery to get them. Funko will always have low-end Funko Pops for everyone but limited ones people are always after and can go for major money fast. It's a publicly traded company that has to sell lots of different things to sell at all different price points. The Funko Fusion Game looks good coming soon! Funko always has a great advantage with licenses.

It's funny how you mention Marvel should stick to their well known characters, even though Iron Man and Captain America where considered the lower end in the 90's and '00's (X-men and Spiderman being the popular ones) and The Guardians of the Galaxy where pretty much unknown outside of comic book enthousiasts.

I like pops because they’re cool figurine/collectible you can put out easily and they’re mostly cheap. Our living room is all Star Wars so we have Star Wars pops. Obviously we have a couple Star Wars action figures also but they don’t stand as well. Then you have to buy a stand for them etc. etc.. Heck our local grocery store sells Funko pops for $10 take them out of the package and then boom display for $10 bucks.
