Funko Pop Ideas: Writers

 Hiya!

This week's blog post is a little different from the usual, I have written about Funkos in the past in my blog post A Growing Collection. In that post I mentioned having about 50 and that was in February of 2020, a whole year and a bit later and I have 253. If you are interested in seeing them closely I do have an Instagram & Tik Tok dedicated to my Funkos: @DollysFunkosYou may have noticed these figures appear in some of my photos. 

I adore collecting these figures and despite Funko continuously releasing new characters I feel like there is still something missing. Some people missing.  I purchased this Pop of the writer: Jane Austen. She is one of my favourites. Pictured to the right. She is really cool, I love having her in my collection.  As I look at her most days I cannot help but wish for more writers to be released. There is such a huge market for them amongst the Funko community,  So far they have released Jane Austen. Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King. All brilliant writers and I do hope to be adding them to my collection very soon. I do think there should be more Funko Pops of writers made. 

I have created  a shortlist of people I think they should make into a pop vinyl next:

• William Shakespeare 
• Emily Dickinson
• Charles Dickens 
• Maya Angelou 
• Oscar Wilde 
• Harper Lee 
• Lord Alfred Tennyson 

These are only a handful of influential writer's in the world, there are so many famous amazing writers that could be added to the list and potential collection. If I could choose only one from the list it would have to be William Shakespeare. The writing legend, the most famous writer in the world. I am tempted to try and order a custom of him from an independent artist, he would look amazing on my bookshelf. Funko if you see this please take the hint. If you could have a Funko Pop made of anyone in the world, real or not, who would it be?

A growing collection

Hello!

I  was going to keep my blog bookish this year but I just wanted to write and share my recent obsession. I think this still counts as bookish.  I haven't been able to read much this month, it has been a super heavy month but I thought a nice chat would be lovely. As some of you may know from my Instagram I love my bookshelves, I love the way books look and I enjoyed making bookish displays and pictures. Queue some shelfies!

You will notice those little figures, and those are Funko Pop Vinyls. I have been collecting for a few years but recently something has been triggered in my brain. I went from 30 to 50 in the last month or so. I find them so adorable. I have expanded my range from Harry Potter to Disney, Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. One of my favourite Funko Pop Vinyl's in my Danny Zucko from Grease, my sister gifted him to me at Christmas. It made my day, I didn't even realise they did Grease Pop Vinyls. But this started my search for more, it's safe to say I have a lot saved in my wish list for the future.

 I love how cute they look, my Instagram is spammed with them recently. Something about having the little characters around is just so adorable! I have taken a moment to chill but I just wanted to share some of them with you. I am looking into getting more characters from novels. I think that would make some pretty interesting pictures so like The Hunger Games and Alice and Wonderland. I think they would amazing. So far, the only book character's I have are my Harry Potter ones. They are my main collection and I love them dearly, it is nowhere near finished but I am so chuffed with all of them.

I am running out of space but I am moving (hopefully) into a bigger space in Summer and I cannot wait for my book nook.  Something about these figured I just feel drawn to. I cannot wait to expand my collection. Is there anything in particular that you collect?
