2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Shortly after my Joe-mance, Marvel quickly became the focal point. This Spider-Man bobblehead POP! represents just that. We're talking early 90s when I had pretty much phased out GI Joe and action figure collecting altogether. I still loved some of the Toybiz Marvel stuff but was mainly into the comics. 

Cartoons have always played a major part in my childhood and even today I'll find myself scrolling through streaming services to find old episodes of GI Joe, Transformers, Thundercats etc. As big a fan as I am of the aforementioned,  It was MOTU that got to me first. In fact, Battle Armor HE - Man was one of the first action figures I can remember owning as a kid. Hence, my #4 POP! pick!

Gremlins was another one of those films that stuck with me from my childhood. This one should have been #2 as it released before The Goonies. I'll display them accordingly.  

Shortly after the film E.T. , many other movies would release and capture my attention but none resonated with me more than The Goonies! The Goonies was Stranger Things before Stranger Things was Stranger Things. Who didn't want to be part of that bike riding, crime fighting pretty girl kissing group of amazing kids? And Sloth! I would have loved to have a friend like Sloth, although, my parents would have probably condemned it. In Spanish < Get that ugly thing outta here!> lol. Well, I'm sure they'd have no problem with a mini sized Funko POP! Sloth 🤪 

I realized that there had to be a method to go with my madness If I was gonna start collecting Funko POP! figures. With so many to choose from, I figured I'd chronologically collect them according to pop culture and TV events that influenced me as a kid. Let's start with  POP! figure #1. E.T. is one of the first films that I can remember really being moved by. It left quite an impression on my 7 year old heart and even today I get a lump in my throat whenever I see the  Drew Barrymore scene at the end of the movie.
