Here we are. Lisa and I have discussed the idea of opening our own store and changing our primary content on YouTube for some time now. If you subscribe to us on YouTube, thank you, but you have also noticed that outside of our regularly scheduled What's POP'N with Pop Couple, we have not be creating much content. This is the result of several thoughts and feelings we have had about YouTube and social media as a whole. This is both very exciting and scary. At least with us moving forward in our new direction we will be able to say we tried, and hopefully succeeded. Where should we begin with our new beginning?
Let's start with here, our store, which is likely where you are reading this. Over the years we ourselves have amassed quite a collection of items that we have enjoyed, and still enjoy. We have a passion for collecting and we love to share it with people who also enjoy collecting. All of us are in different stages of our collecting lives and enjoy a variety of collectibles. The particular figures that brought many of the people we have had a chance to meet over the last few years are Funko POPs. Recently, we have found ourselves less enthused with the new releases and more eager to search out older, and typically slightly more difficult to obtain Funko figures. This is where part of our store comes in. There is a plethora of sites and stores that we whole heartedly support for collectors to pre-order and purchase the latest and greatest from Funko. That is not what you will find here. Our goal is to stock our store with pieces that are not new, likely pre-loved, and at least a couple years old. We will curate these figures and ensure authenticity and, hopefully, great box condition. We want to help you find those pieces that have eluded you in you collecting.
However, we are not just looking to provide Funko products, but also designer toys, blind box figures, and hopefully some art. As we have grown in our tastes and desires, we hope we can share them with you and help you discover something new for your collection. In doing so we also try to educate ourselves and provide that knowledge to those seeking it. That is where this site can tie our little universe together. Through blog posts here, new YouTube content, and social media, we hope to keep collecting with everyone we have met, and collect with new people we have not met yet.
Before this gets too long I will stop myself here. There is plenty of time to share, discuss, and buy. We hope that you will join us on this journey and that we can both bring together collectors and grow a community that is passionate about collecting.
