Listen to My Story...

2025 was a good year for Marvel Rivals POPs, and adding Magik to the collection was actually suggested by my special friend. I didn’t oppose it since I do like Magik, and her Rivals design isn’t too far off from her original look. With that said, her POP form has a lot to talk about, so let’s get into the review! Yes, I have this entire wave. Go figure. A bobblehead Magik’s outfit in Marvel Rivals  is very similar to her black booty-shorts look from the comics. While it’s a b

When I first had my sights set on Bedlam last year, I thought I was getting another Spider-Verse addition. When I finally picked him up, I realized he was actually another Symbiote—just one of Eddie’s many, many forms. Still, this is another POP from 2025, and he looks pretty sick. So let’s get into the review! This is a special edition from Wintercon 2025. Honestly, he's a pretty obscure character, so for him to get a POP is something else. Is there a market for this guy? No

Another MHA POP I picked up in 2025! This one is special because it represents a significant part of Himiko’s arc. It’s also a POP Plus, so there’s more going on here than with your standard release. I was pretty excited for this one, so without further ado, let’s get into the review! I'm hoping this isn't the final wave of MHA POPs since they have so much more they can do. That Midoriya might be something I'd want to pick up. Eventually. Not a bobblehead Toga is usually seen

My Hero Academia ’s final season aired not too long ago, but we only just finished it this year. Bittersweet, but ultimately a fitting ending that gave solid closure to an anime we’ve been following for about two years now. Along the way, we’ve picked up plenty of POPs from the anime—and honestly, we might even end up completing Class 1-A someday. For now, though, I picked up Tokoyami last year and am finally getting around to reviewing him. So let’s get into it and see how t

Another 2025 catch rolling in for 2026! This time around, we have Luna Snow! Who is Luna Snow? A very obscure Marvel character is getting a spotlight in many ways! For an obscure character to get a POP before so many other Marvel characters is something. Still, let's review this POP of Luna Snow, shall we? Yes, I have this entire set. Should you be surprised? So a Magik POP review is coming up soon, that much is certain. A Bobblehead! Luna Snow doesn’t have a costume—she has

A 2025 catch that’s absolutely worth mentioning this year! And yes, Power Rangers were a huge part of my fandom in the ’90s. With the franchise being far more accessible these days, I’m more than willing to add anything that fits into my POP collection. This Green/White Ranger—using that split gimmick Funko’s been doing—hits all the right notes. Yeah, this one is perfect for me… and  us! So without further ado, let’s get into the review. A very special edition! This was a mus

Jeff the Land Shark!? Marvel, in its nearly 90 years in the business, has introduced a wide array of cute mascots designed to get an “aww” reaction. Jeff isn’t the first—but he’s definitely the most recent fan favorite. A POP of him? Yeah, my special friend wanted Jeff, so I had to get it for her! With that said, let’s jump into the review, shall we? I might or might not have this entire set. Probably. Believe it or not, he's a bobblehead I have very little to no idea who—or

Alucard is a big piece of my gaming life back in the early and late '90s. I played the living heck of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, and who didn't overplay his featured game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? When I found out that he was going to make an appearance in a very adult-themed show, I was pretty excited! Shame on me for missing his first POP (along with Trevor Belmont's)! But here is Alucard's Nocturne version, and I'm pretty excited to review him. Was tempte

This beautiful POP is another one I didn’t get a chance to review last year. It was a gift for my special friend, who wanted this added to her collection—and honestly, how could she pass it up? Maleficent in her dragon form, recreating an iconic Disney movie moment? Yeah, this one was a must-have. With that said, let’s take a look at this POP, shall we? This is a good set! I don’t intend to collect all of it, but there are definitely a couple of standouts here. The new Malefi

Wow. The year 2020 was six years ago (at the time of writing this). More than half a decade—time really flies. It’s wild to think this game came out that long ago. Absolutely nuts. But enough stalling—let’s get into it. Today, we’re reviewing a POP based on the suit that made its debut in  Spider-Man: Miles Morales . Let’s go! Not gonna lie, a lot of Miles' outfits look amazing. I just might snag some of these throughout the years. I happen to have one already from this list.

Yes, here’s a Spider-Man POP from 2025 that I never got around to reviewing. This one is a personal favorite of mine, and honestly, if this review had gone up during 2025, it would’ve been right alongside the Symbiote line-ups from last year. But here we are. Better late than never! Let’s take a look at this Symbiote Takeover Spider-Man POP, shall we? I consider this a Symbiote takeover, even though it isn’t officially labeled as such. We’ve gotten this kind of Spidey POP bef

Another Pokémon Soft Color from 2025’s catches! Bulbasaur—one of the original starter Pokémon from before a bajillion other species were introduced. This one was a special gift for a special friend who’s collecting all the basic Pokémon, along with the Soft Color variants. With that said, let’s get into the review and see how this one turned out. Leaf element? Plant-based? Not entirely knowledgeable about how the elements of Pokémon go, but Bulbasaur isn't the only plant-base

One day, I’m finally going to finish the first season of X-Men ’97 —there’s just so much good stuff in it. A lot happens, too, including Jubilation Lee getting her “vampire” costume in the show. Lo and behold, we ended up getting a POP of it! Is it any good? Let’s find out. This is actually a good-looking wave. Doubt I'll finish it, but Bastion, Nightcrawler, and Storm are characters I may want in my collection. Just gotta find them for a good price. A bobblehead Immediately,

Another Gundam POP joins my collection! The last one we got was awesome with all the details, so let’s see if Deathscythe lives up to Epyon. Oh, just an FYI—this is another 2025 snag, so if it hits all the marks, we might be seeing it again in my 2026 highlights. With that said, let’s get to the review, shall we? This is a good wave. Honestly, if I had the room, I'd get Wing Zero too. These POPs come with a lot in terms of details. Still waiting on the other Gundam Wing POPs.

A Dragon Ball GT POP! Will be getting a few more of these in a few, but this one is a special one from Funko.com . While I haven't been the biggest fan of DBGT, I am coming around to some of them, and SSJ4 Goku is a good place to start. So, here we go. Let's get to the review, shall we? It's no surprise that I have a couple of these. And, yes, the reviews for them are coming up. I'm very slow when it comes to that at the moment. Not a bobblehead I opt for this version of SSJ4

Here’s another character I know very little about—but this POP was more or less picked up as a gift, so let’s jump straight into the review of Zoro from One Piece . I will probably never get any of these, but One Piece's characters are interesting, especially with the way they are animated. Not a bobblehead Zoro’s design in this season is awesome—between the outfit and the way the katanas rest at his waist, it’s a strong look. The clothing is sculpted really well, with wrinkl

Another Stitch POP from 2025! This one was a must because of what this POP represents. With an introduction like that, let's proceed to the review, shall we? Yes, this is a gift for my special friend. I swear I'm going to give her a whole collection of Stitch POPs. Then again, I say that like I haven't started! Not a bobblehead This is Stitch’s intro look, and I’ve always loved it. The red suit, all four arms, the antenna, and those jagged spikes running down his back—it’s pe

POP: X-Men Xmas 2025 Wave POP: Storm (Xmas 2025) POP: Jean Grey (Xmas 2025) POP: Rogue (Xmas 2025) This one was a short and sweet wave. A fine addition to my Holiday decorations. Ranking them is hard since they are all pretty even with their strengths and weaknesses. I'd say Jean suffered the most glaring quality control, but all in all, I love them all. But here is my ranking: Rogue Storm Jean Grey Well, that's it for the Holiday POPs. Can't wait to see what Marvel is cookin

Storm! Mistress of the Elements! And the last herald of my Christmas 2025 POPs. I know it's past the 25th, but let us enjoy the last few days of December, shall we? Let's get to the review. This was a fun set for sure. Let's see if Ororo can take this set home! A bobblehead While Storm has worn a multitude of outfits throughout the years, her white/silver costume from the '90s definitely stands out, thanks to the X-Men animated series, and I'd like to say, is because of her r

Another X-Gal is joining the festive celebration! Jean Grey is a cornerstone of the X-Men, and so it's only fitting she's come to give us a piece of mind of what she does during the Holidays. Without further ado, let's get to the review! A nice, short, and sweet set. Spoiler, I have all three. A bobblehead! Jean Grey's '90s outfit isn't something I'd say is my favorite. It's got that '90s flair with the shoulder pads and the pockets, and then there's the head harness, which s
