The only thing I can think is that it was originally a New York Comic Con release than was sold after that strictly through Toy Tokyo. Wasn't available anywhere else as far as I can tell

I hear ya...Toy Tokyo exclusives haven't been overly pricey in the past, so it threw me off. $30? No problem. $75 though? That's tough.

They were Toy Tokyo exclusives at NYCC and then sold out the remaining stock in minutes when they were put online. They were available overseas but it was right when Funko put restrictions on international sales going to the USA so it was never easy to obtain. The other thing is that signed Pops are getting to be pretty popular and Jason David Frank does A LOT of cons so it's really popular for people to get his Pops signed, I think that's a big reason why the older rangers started getting really valuable too.

I think I paid $60 for my first one and got a couple extras from a trade with somebody in Australia but I plan on getting them all signed in September.

Also, has counterfeiting become an issue yet in the POP community?

Some.

In some instances of pops that are all gold or silver people will make their own and pass them off. And there are some fakes of older pops out there. Usually from China/Mexico though. Then there are the fakes that look horribly wrong and they are hilarious. I'll post those if I find a pic

Yeah this is pretty much spot on. Honestly, there's more people paranoid about fakes than actual fakes out there lol. The best example of an absolutely awful fake that's hilarious is the CM Punk that looks like a cross between CM Punk, John Cena and a monkey.

The address I used is on ★ FanMail.biz: The Celebrity Addresses Database (don't have it off hand) if you want to send one to her. Just send the box only along with a note and a self addressed stamped bubble mailer for the return. This one took something like 4 - 6 months.

Quick question for you guys. Are Dorbz related to the Popz? I just got the Teen Titans go set for my daughter.

Yup. And they tend to make the same figures in pops and dorbz a lot. Which then causes people like me to get the dorbz of the pop I have because they go together. lol

Mail today!

My free funko box. A little sad it was the one I wanted least. Because I don't use mugs or wear hats... Flat brimmed hats especially. But R2D2 is cool. I like the pop!


And my Jetson dorbz came in! Absolutely love these. Can't wait for the rest to drop.


And lastly, on Winnie the Pooh day... I got this!

I don't mind the mug, I just don't drink coffee or tea or anything so I never really use them. I'll have to start drinking hot chocolate lol

I got the Heffalump from Amazon. I had a giftcard balance and found this for $30 shipped so I went with it. It was from a 3rd party seller so I asked ahead of time about box condition and stuff and he assured me it would be good and it was. Always a concern with Amazon stuff.

These guys have a bunch of Chase Pops and Dorbz for $25 - 30. Seems like a pretty fair price, I've bought from them a bunch before too great packing and quick shipping.

They're good stuff! I've actually kind of become friends with the owner since I was ordering so often and he was so responsive to any questions I had.
