But when a colleague of mine introduced me to Pop in a Box, I was immediately intrigued. Unlike most Boxes, which are filled with an assortment of random items, some themed, some not, Pop in a Box provide you simply with Funko products, chiefly their awesome and charming Pop! Vinyl series, a collection of chibi-styled cutesy statues of pop-culture characters, but also including their other vinyl statues and bobbleheads, their Mystery Minis and ReAction Figures, 80's style action figures of contemporary franchises like Firefly and Aliens.
You simply choose however many you want to receive a month (We've gone with two), with the price adjusting accordingly, and they send you a selection, usually with a Pop themed freebie, such as popping candy and the like. And to sweeten the deal, their website holds a database of every Funko product, for you to check off the ones you have, want or don't want, ensuring they never send you anything you don't like.
The months aren't themed, but you'll often find that the ones you receive 'go together'. For instance, our first month, April's Pops were Data and Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, May's were Marvel's Vision and DC's Bizarro, June's were Thor and Iron Man from the new Avengers: Age of Ultron set and July's were Thrillkiller Batman and a Harley Quinn variant previously exclusive to a USA only retailer. This month's?
For those interested in subscribing, please check out Pop in a Box. I've yet to be disappointed.
