Most of what I collect is music related; CDs, music video compilations and live concerts on DVD and blu-ray, the odd poster, t-shirt and baseball cap. But I also love the occasional weird film or television related product, like the “The X-Files: Is the Truth Out There?<\/a>” Little Golden Book<\/strong>, and I’ve since spotted a few items related items I have since added to my Wishlist, like the “A Is for Alien: An ABC Book<\/a>” and “JAWS: Big Shark, Little Boat! A Book of Opposites<\/a>” Little Golden Books<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t collected any music related Funko Pops<\/strong> yet, mainly because I’m sure I would spend way too much on them. But a new Jaws Funko Pop<\/a> has caught my eye, which will be released on December 30th this year in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British will get it earlier on September 10th<\/a> and Americans will get it on September 30th<\/a> so I’m hoping I might get it earlier, along with the Jaws Little People Collector Set<\/a>, which has been available for a while. But yeah, Funko Pops<\/strong> would definitely<\/em> be a dangerous rabbit hole for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Def Leppard<\/a> one here, a Queen<\/a> one there… It would add up quick. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I’m not made of money so I’m very, very picky when it comes to collectibles. And the only figurine I have ever purchased was a die cast metal figure of Gort<\/a> from the original 1951 version of “The Day The Earth Stood Still<\/a>“, which was made by Rocket USA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am somewhat interested in “The Prisoner<\/a>” collectibles like the Mini Moke Taxi<\/a>, but I’m not going to break the bank for them. And I’d actually rather purchase the ever elusive Japanese version of Platinum Blonde<\/strong>‘s “Standing In The Dark<\/a>” before dumping hundreds on one of those. It’s the only LP i’m missing from the band.

Priorities. Priorities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW, you can stream The Prisoner<\/strong> for free on PLEX<\/a> and watch “The Day The Earth Stood Still<\/strong>” on Apple TV<\/a>, if you like classic films and television that is. And yes, like I said. I like weird stuff. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
