Funko Mystery Box!!

An extra post today! I stalk the Funko blog and they opened a Mystery Box on it and that peaked my interest, I had heard about them but I didnt know what the specifics were, afer watching the video I decided there was quite a bit of cool stuff for $20, so if I went past a GameStop today and they had any left I would get one. Well, I went out to Wal-Mart and was going to get some food and the restaurant I was going to go in had a GameStop right there, I had even forgot about it, but it was a sign so I went in and there behind the counter there were maybe 9 left. I bought one and the other cashier asked if I was going to open it so I said sure lets open it now, that would be more fun right to open it with a bunch of people who think its cool too, rather than alone in my kitchen later? Well here it is!

Im pumped, I have the regular size Freddy and who doesnt love Harley Quinn?? The ReAction figures are pretty cool as well, I got Predator, unmasked and Kane, with face-hugger(from Alien). But of course the best is the Fallout Power Armor GameStop Exclusive Pop!

Funko Fridays! Why do I collect Funko??

What a loaded question, Why do I collect Funkos? I guess there are a lot of reasons. First off, I am a collector at heart, since I was a little girl and I would pick up rocks I liked I have been a collector, I just love it. Secondly, they are so darn cute, I just love them, I dont collect every kind of Funko, I prefer the Pop! Vinyl; I do enjoy a mystery mini every now and then but I hate having multiples of something that are the same, now if its a variation Im all about it. I digress, lastly I collect them bc it makes me happy, finding a Funko I have been looking for or finishing of a group I started is a great feeling, brings back the kid in me but also the feeling of accomplishment. Oh I guess also bc Im a geek and I love to have a part of my fandom. I have always had a hard time with memorabilia or toys etc, this way I can have a physical piece of my fandom from my obsessions and its fun to show them off to friends!

I am going to post a picture of my most recent Funko Finds so this one has a picture! I am from Louisville KY so, around here The Big Lebowski is kinda a big deal, here is my collection of all 5 Lebowski Funkos.

I also took The Dude out of the box for you guys, and I was only going to do him but then Donny and Walter felt left out and I just cant get enough of Walter's sunglasses, so I posted them too! Maude and The Purple Jesus felt a little neglected but maybe they will come out on another day.

Lastly- I wasnt able to link in for the previous posts I was too slow at figuring out the pictures, so feel free to read my other Funko posts!

Week Late Funko Friday! (Lucky to Have)

This weeks prompt was the Funko I feel lucky to have. I didn't post this right away bc I really had to think about it. I can be a bit indecisive, which is weird bc I have OCD and I like everything a certain way. Anyhow I digress, I finally decided which Funko it is. Its my LootCrate exclusive Doc Brown from Back to the Future Series.This was the first Pop! I got that was an exclusive that I got myself. Look at how cute he is! Only problem is now I need Marty and the DoLorean... But look at that hair, love it!

I do have a PX Exclusive bloody Daryl from TWD, but I got that from a friend who had two so I didn't acquire it myself, but that would definitely be number two on the list! The more I look at blood-spattered Biker Daryl the more I like him, and again with the sweet details on the back, he's not Daryl without the vest. What Funko do you feel lucky to have??

The next prompt is going to be Funko Finds, what good Funkos have your scored lately?! I am looking forward to this one and need to start thinking now bc lately I have been rapidly adding to my collection....

Funko Fridays! Collections I Want to Complete!

Funkos are a problem for me, I love them and I want so many. I have a few randoms that are part of a set that I will probably never finish because they were gifts and as much as I love them I wouldn't have bought them due to the fact I have OCD and once I have one I want them all, yes I know they aren't Pokémon. Anyhow. So, the two collections I have started that I have to finish are my GoT and Firefly sets. BUT both of those need clarification. For example, I already have the first 5 Firefly Funkos they released but lets be honest be ALL know they will release at least 4 more, because you cant have a Firefly set without River, Simon, Inara and Shepherd Book... And as for the GoT, I cannot keep buying these, I have to cut myself off at a point, and that is the 4th series. I already have about 22 of this particular set and if I just finish the ones I am missing thru series 4 I will have over 30 just from that set. Would I like to continue YES! But I only have so much space and I cant make myself sell any more than the 4 I gave to my little brother to eBay for me... Note: they were dups or randos... just sayin' I cant part with any of my loves!

Funko Fridays! The One That Started It All!

I have never tried to use a link up before but I am going to attempt to actually BLOG! I supposed I need to take some classes or tutorials online. Luckily there are a lot of people out there who want to help and make the info accessible. BUT I digress! This post is supposed to be about the Funko that started it all for me.

If you don't know what Funko Dolls are then you either don't like geek or you have been living under a rock because they make these wonderful little guys for most every fandom out there. I personally like the POP! series ones best, and that's what I have the most of but that's a blog subject for another day... I actually did not start my own collection! My little brother Chad went on a road trip with his best friend to California and my brother brought me back a souvenir, Khal Drogo, he had gone to Universal Studios and knew I loved GoT so perfect gift choice... except it started an obsession... I honestly have to go count how many I have now. But it all started with a little cute Khal Drogo.

As you can see I had to play Funko Jenga to get this guy out. I have the most GoT Funkos, as my collection started with them and for a while I thought would only consist of them, I have 22 plus 5 of the mystery minis. Also, I do store my Funkos in their boxes most of the time, I dont like to dust and they have lots of little spots to get dusty so they stay protected mostly.

I like to take pictures of both the front and back of these lovely little guys bc they have so much detail and often people only concentrate on their faces or whats in their hand when typically they have awesome 360 designs! Just like my little Khal here...

February Goals

One of my friends who blogs often, brought another blog to my attention, its called http://mysocalledchaos.com/ , and its pretty neat. She is doing her goals a little differently. She has lot of small goals for each month and at the end of the month she is going through and letting you know what she did accomplish and what she did not. I think that sounds like a wonderful idea and that it is reasonable.
So, first I want to say in the realm of the big goals last month I did ok but not perfect, but no one is perfect right? I will say I did get the exercise regime going this week and so far have stuck with it. It is extremely simple BUT I am still doing it!
My goals for February will be:

• Spend day with JoJo making little terrariums
• See mom for a meal
• Finish my exercise program and plan how to change it for March
• Spend some time with Jeremy before he moves in addition to his going away party
• Get taxes done
• Finish iPod setup and transferring music
• Try to see Zach for his birthday (this is more on him than me)

February is a short month and I already lost a few days better get on it!

This week....

So, I need to make a post this week to try to keep up with my goals! But first I want to comment on some of my other goals, so far I have not started the "working out" I am planning on, I never got the stuff on the calendar so 2/2 sounds like a good start date right? Then I also failed to see my mom and grandmother this month. I WILL see them both in February. My moms father in law has been very sick for like two months and then he passed away this week so I am blaming not seeing her on that. BUT as for JoJo she just lives further away and I work weird hours. NOT good excuses.
I got my name changed pretty much on everything! Now just waiting for all the new documentation to flow in, the big stuff I have already but there is a lot that I don't have yet... No worries it will all come in time at least I have done my part. Well, except for going downtown to the Jefferson County Attny office, which I REALLY don't want to do. I need to change my name on my restitution stuff, but the guy didn't pay last month so good chance I have to go down there for court again bc of that, I may just wait do it all at the same time. I have my passport that says I am both Shelby Yates and my ID that says Shelby Gray so I think it'll be ok.
House hunting is going no where. BUT the apartment has decided to be nice and just let us give 30 days notice we are leaving, don't have to fuss with new lease or pay more again. Thank goodness, I am convinced its only bc they have so many open units and don't want to have to turn mine over and try to rent it too. This however does not mean I am ok with just waiting it out. I hate living there so much and cannot wait to get out. I have even agreed to look at some homes in Lyndon I am so fed up with the apartment.
That's all the excitement I know of and honestly its not exciting. Hopefully I will find a new recipe or see a good movie to tell you about besides just random life updates....
