Y'all know by now that I have a serious problem with Funko Pop Vinyls. And if you didn't before now, you'll believe by the end of this post.

Lord have mercy but Funko is making a Drizzt Do'Urden Pop Vinyl! WITH GUENHWYVAR. And Drizzt even has purple eyes and his scimitars! I AM SCREAMING.

And I know you're all rolling your eyes, wondering if the pot grow house down the road was giving out free samples. I get it. But you don't even understand my love of this drow and his kitty. Or Bob. Because R. A. Salvatore is an oddball, but the best kind of oddball. Seriously though, I think I picked up my first R. A. Salvatore novel in 1994 and am still loving this world so much. They are what cemented my love of fantasy. I enjoyed The Hobbit. Fell in love with Shannara. But this? This became my obsession. White haired elf boy with violet eyes and can throw lavender faerie fire? Sign me up.

Now, Funko, if you're listening, next we need Jarlaxle and Artemis. Because of reasons. And not because Jarlaxle is literally the gayest thing in the Underdark either. Plus Bruenor, Cattie-Brie, Wulfgar and all the rest. And the little halfling... I'm forgetting his name at the moment though.

*sigh*

I'm sorry, but I have no one - not one single person - that will get excited over this with me. Now is when I miss Troy the most. Although he never made it past the first book, he loved the Neverwinter games. If I remember correctly, he and Maddie were excited over the fact that Drizzt was a character in the most recent edition. Not sure if he was playable or not, but he was there.

Anyway, this is mild compared to what I went through to track down a Castiel with Wings that didn't cost me $200. But the things one does for their pretty, blue-eyed angel are forgivable, right?

And for reference, this is what I had five years ago. I've about doubled the collection since then.

I have a naked Minion, Snoopy, Voltron (don't ask), and more than a few more Supernatural. Troy loved buying them because he could say they were for me and he could enjoy them, too. Hahaha. But then, I always believed he had a bit of an angel crush on Cas anyway.

Okay, so note to self: you are not allowed to buy any more books or Pops*. Got it?

God, I feel like such an idiot, but I am so excited about this it's not even funny.

...going to go back to work now and wallow in my own ridiculousness.

Stay your nerdy excited self, Amy! I love it!

I don't know the author, books or characters, but I can certainly empathise. I was in a shop that mostly sells pop vinyls not so long ago and there was some beauties I would have loved there... control was seriously failing. I have a few Star Wars ones and a Snoopy, but I am SO TEMPTED to get more - Star Wars has SO MANY great ones. I told myself I was only going to get the 'original trilogy' main character type ones , but somehow I ended up buying Cassian Andor, so now, well... you know how it is... I feel like maybe the ten or so that I have from SW is not the end... and then I found others from different shows/movies that I really, really want. So pointless and so dust-gathery, but SO CUTE!!!!
