So, last Tuesday at HOTTOPIC.COM There was a special deal on Doctor Who Merchandise, so of course I took this as my opportunity to get my hands on the Funko POPs I didn't have yet! I also saw that the Harry Potter Pops were released, so naturally I had to get those too. Luckily the Hot Cash thing they do actually does make a little bit of a difference considering their prices can sometimes be higher than others if you aren't shopping deals! They had all the Harry Potter online except Snape, and all of the Doctor Who I needed except the Evolving Dalek and the Adipose all of which I then ordered from GameStop.com.
Unfortunately I haven't yet received some of my GameStop purchases. I also ordered an R2B1 from them, and they sent me R2D2 which was frustrating but I decided I'd just have an open R2D2 to play with, I hope they actually send my other things, at this point I've become a little worried. Will have to give you guys the update on that one. So below behold my new collections! These are also my favorite collections right now.

I grew up on Harry Potter so it is so amazing that I didn't miss the release of these because I don't own anything cool that's Harry Potter themed. It's nice to have something to showcase my love for HP. Growing up it was Barnes and Nobile book release parties, and the Movies opening night, it was just a huge family thing for us and my fondest memories are of Harry Potter times. Last Christmas my Mom and I both bought one another the same thing... the bluray Harry Potter collection. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! We also loved listening to Jim Dale's audiotapes of the books that we'd check out from the library and listen to every single night... EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! LITERALLY! We also manage to have a Harry Potter Marathon about every single month, but my all time favorite memory of Harry Potter is that after the Book Parties, we'd go home at like 1 AM all dressed up in our sad attempts at witch and wizard costumes, with our stick branch "wands" completely exhausted, and my mom would pull out snacks, root beer floats, and candy and read us the first chapter or two, and every night after she would read chapters for us and it was basically the most magical feeling ever.
I also grew up on Doctor Who, but not so intensely as I did with HP, I only ever got to watch the show at my Dad's house growing up because he had the BBC channel, but I just LOVED it, Naturally David Tennant, is my favorite doctor (10th) and Rose will always be my favorite companion to him because I cry like a sappy teeny bopper baby whenever I watch the episode where Rose is left behind by the Doctor and he doesn't get to say he loves her, and then I cry more when she gets her own doctor! I'm extremely excited because Billie Piper will be at FandomFest and I'm praying I'll get to meet her. I wish they had made companion Funko Pops because I would get one of Rose and ask her to sign it. Instead I'm going to ask her to sign my basic 10th Doctor one if I get a chance. Even the thought of telling her how much her performance moved me gives me the excites! Of course when the 11th Doctor came around I was worried that I was going to HATE him because he was all hipster and the show suddenly got super popular and I thought to myself "oh great, now they are aiming to get a different crowd this is going to stink" so it took me a couple years before I caved and gave it a chance, and of course I fell in the love with the new episodes, but mostly for Amy Pond, Rory, and River Song. They really MADE the 11th Doctor, but I did love that he was funny and yet almost fatherly to Amy and Rory. But let's face it.. Their love story is mind blowing. I may not have been a fan of Amy in the beginning, but through out her time with the Doctor you can see how much she really does love Rory, but It's Rory whose love makes your heart hurt! |
Anyway, I also went to Hottopic in person and we ended up getting even more POPs! Including some Guardians of the Galaxy and some more Star Wars ones.. Basically last week we spent a lot of money on Funko Pop. I also purchases the Hottopic excluive Funko AppleBloom vinyl of which I am in love with!!
From Guardians I got Ronan, Thanos, and the Collector. From Star Wars we got Jabba, Bousch Leia, Jawa, and Unmasked Vader, and Last but not least my Apple Bloom (forgive the beer bottle inappropriately displayed in that picture.. I just had to have a drink after spending so much money lol the stress!)
Overall, I'd say it's been a pretty productive purchase week. I would have blogged a lot sooner but I wanted to include pictures of my stuff for entertainment. New blogs will be coming soon.

Also if you're hosting a giveaway or contest I'd be happy to feature it here so feel free to contact me at any times with the contact forms in the about me section. Thank you!
