Superman and Lois Flying Funko Pop! Showcase
Superman and Lois Flying Funko Pop! Showcase
The iconic scene from SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE hits the Funko Pop line as this wonderful and romantic set of two Funko Pops of Superman and Lois enjoying a flight together. Hmmm . . . I wonder if she’ll start interally monologuing?
I had to get this set. SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was a massive part of my childhood and Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder are my favorite Superman and Lois duo. I got to meet Margot in real life prior to her passing. Have a picture of us. She was a very nice lady and I’m sorry she has left us.
SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE is available at Amazon here.
This Superman Funko Pop set is on Amazon here so you can add it to your own collection.
Thank you for tuning in to this special Superman Funko Pop showcase video.
Please subcribe for more Funko Pop! videos and shorts and reels. Thanks.

at Dollar Tree 2!
This outlet is always hit or miss for me when it comes to collectibles. Sometimes they have good stuff; other times the shelves are kinda bare, at least in terms of what I’m looking for, but on this trip, we scored some hotwheels and matchbox cars and a stack of playing cards.

Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
This is a continuation of the original article, which you can read here.
Talk to any serious collector and we’ll all admit to having an addiction to the hobby, and the problem is, like any addiction, you can start to run up the tab real quick.
Here are some more ways to avoid that:
5) Cash-back credit cards. Most credit card companies offer cash-back cards, with 1-4% cash back, depending on what you buy and where you buy it. Grab a discounted collectible with it and you automatically save a bit just by using your card.
6) Find reliable discount/coupon finders for your Web browser. I use Honey and it’s saved me a bundle. Plus, Cash back. You can take a look here for info on it.
7) Collector’s can be impulse buyers, and while this is great for snagging a last-second deal, the impulsive buy could also drain your wallet. If the item can wait, keep it in your shopping cart. Often, online vendors put stuff on sale and it’s happened to me several times where items in my cart are suddenly discounted.
8) Shop local and check the clearance aisle. Like comic book writer Harvey Pekar once said regarding rummaging around at garage sales for jazz records, “Most of the time it’s a waste of time but every once in a while . . .” And some collectors out there, myself included, know the glorious feeling of finding something cool on the clearance shelf for next to (relatively) nothing.
9) Dollar stores. They basically clear out what the chains couldn’t/can’t. Example: my Marvel Legends Retro action figure collection (which I’ll do a full showcase of on YouTube at some point) was all Dollarama. $5 a figure. Know what retail wanted? $21+ a figure. For what I have, I saved around $175 or so. I don’t have the whole set but most of them.
I hope the above gave you some more ideas on how to save while still collecting in whatever hobby. Maybe there’ll be a part three to this series if I think of something new? After all, there is more than one way to afford a toy collection.
Cheers.

Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection
Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection
If you watch my YouTube channel, the thought has probably crossed your mind as to how I can afford my collecting hobby and toy collection. The truth is: I can’t. I’m a struggling artist like most out there.
Here’s what I do:
1) Never pay retail if/when possible. The majority of my collection comes from dollar stores like Dollar Tree and Dollarama. Example: action figures that retail at the toy store or comic shop for $20+ (before taxes), I can get for $5 or less. Same with the hotwheels. All from the dollar store. And the Funkos? Well…
2) Find a vendor with good deals where things are always discounted, not because something’s wrong with it, but simply because it’s a more affordable vendor. Again, never pay retail if it can be helped.
3) Plan your shipping. Not all vendors offer free shipping upon purchase so what you do is save up and get a bunch of collectibles at once. Yes, a larger bill but you would have spent the same amount on the collectibles anyway so that renders that argument moot. What you’re doing by buying in bulk is amortizing the shipping cost across several units so your per-unit shipping cost goes way down.
4) Gifts. People know I love action figures and toys so I get a bunch of those as gifts, and it’s those gifts I share with you, like my Superman Christmas video. Not talking value here but strictly retail, out of my entire collection out of all the things I collect, I’ve paid about half retail all told. Half.
Yes, us Winnipeggers are cheap and know how to find a deal. We only pay retail if absolutely required.
That’s my secret. (Oh, and you guys checking out my books and comics helps too.)
Peace.
