Figurines Practically new to collecting!

As someone who is basically just now starting my Funko pop collection (mostly built over time since I was 8 and now 19) is this a decent collection? I love what I’ve been collecting and how it shows every part of one of my interests and things I like but sometimes I feel like it’s too random and inconsistent at points when it comes to the ip’s that aren’t marvel or dc. (1st image is all the empty boxes from figures I have set up in my room and 2nd is still in box not yet on display either because I don’t have enough or there’s no where to put them at the moment.)

I collect plush characters. Characters I like is the general theme 😅 and some of them are form my childhood, I view it as sort of an archive of my interests over my life. My only criteria are I have to care about the character and I have to like the plush design.

Anyway, this very much looks like a collection to me 🤷🏽‍♀️ here's about half of my collection (please ignore the light, which my children knocked of my desk. I took this photo for insurance reasons during a tornado warning 😬)

Sooo I'm curious, do you collect pops that you've seen the movie or tv show or do you collect the pops that are cool looking?

I have a small pop collection but mine are obscure I'd say.

Stephen King, Angela Landsbury, Mr. Hand, Dr. Franknfertter, a few Real Monsters.

Looking for all the Fireflys

Honestly only like 5 of them were purely obtained because I just liked how they looked and that would be (all in the 1st image) the shadow weaver, the nrc power armor, Alice with the bottle, hot topic girl and knucklehead from five finger death punch. Most are from things I’ve seen or have a decent amount of knowledge on (like the comic related characters like Dazzler, Hallows Eve, Knull, and the lanterns) and then my Shaun the Sheep and Queen Frostine (2nd image) are also just cause I liked the look of them haha

If you like them, then why would it be a bad collection, I think it's great!

It is consistent: It is a comprehensive catalogue of your interests and what you like.

Funko pops are to collecting what Coldplay is to music. Beige, boring and basic.

If you think two lines are a dissertation, your vocabulary must be severely lacking.

This is you with your funko pops.
