I got irrationally angry last night at the existence of Target exclusives. The fact I won't get the Grady Twins or the Mad Max Target exclusive I really want.

I'm in too deep, aren't I?
Mad Max target exclusive won't be too difficult to get.
Worst case scenario you'll pay like an extra $5 shipped to get it on Ebay.

Now the grady twins.
Fuck man.
I don't even know what to say about those.

A 1 in 36 target exclusive chase.

This is going to be the grailest grail among horror fans.
It really will.

I'm saying the first few on Ebay will go for $500.
Drop down months after that but never under $200.

I feel a little calmer now but fuck that Grady Twins bullshit.

C to the J @C to the J Horror Mystery Minis are not the Hot Topic exclusives. I ordered one last week to be eligible for a coupon to see. It wasn't Jaws, but it was another Elvira.

My army of Elviras riding sharks will take over the world one day. I did use Hot Cash to order some Pint Size Heroes a couple of days ago. Can't wait for the shipment to arrive.

In other news, I received a return request on ebay for some Guardians of the Galaxy pops I sold as a lot of 6. I'm not even sure how to begin with this one. All he wrote was that some arrived with their heads off and sent this photo.

I should add that I had them in their original boxes and can vouch that they were not beheaded when I shipped them.

Pops have been around for 7 years now.

And a lot of people mention the beanie baby thing....but it's kinda silly when you think about it.

Beanie babies....well they were just stupid animals.

Pops are great because they can be anything.
And being able to be anything means they have fan bases that won't be gone until death.

I've been a horror fan my whole life...and I know many others are too so I don't really see them going away any time soon.

I will love Buffy until I die. I will probably be watching the musical episode on my death bed.

I understand why people compare them to beanie babies, but at the same time it drives me crazy. If Funko stops making Pops, I'm not going to sell my collection. I love what each one represents and that it spans so many genres. The fact that I can have a Buffy, Horror, Comic Book, Sailor Moon, and even a Ted that are all made in the same likeness is what makes them so special.

You got SDCC Ted or regular one?
