Collector Showcase: Funko Fanatic Alex Schiffman

Everyone meet Alex Schiffman! Or should we say Bartking129? Alex is a diehard Funko collector with quite the collection. So we’re thrilled to share with you Alex’s Top-10 Faves!

Over to you, Alex!

I started in 2016. I started with four, which has now turned into 4,000.

My very first Chase was the Freddy Krueger Chase.

And here my first proto, Jake Portman. I absolutely love this one because it was the start of the prototype collection I have today.

Then I have my favorite TV show The Simpsons. I love Bart Simpson, so it was natural I add his voice actress Nancy Cartwright to my collection.

Then we have my favorite Disney character Donald Duck out of the Fab 5, so it was only natural to add his voice actor to the original Donald, making him the most expensive signed piece in my collection.

Then my very first Funko Soda in the collection. I started collecting Soda back when they came out. The very first Soda I added to my collection was Yummy Mummy and I pulled the Chase.

Then we have my favorite Freddy Funko in the collection, the Dynamic Duo Robin Chase. I got him when Funko did their event when they traveled across the united states called Fun on the Run, luckily Tucson, Arizona, was one of the stops on their adventure.

Then we have my oldest funko product in my collection, the Burger King Funko Force prototype, also one of my rarest pieces in my collection.

Then I have my favorite anime Demon Slayer. I started collecting Demon Slayer in the middle of the set release. What better way to represent the set then have one of the voice actors.

Then I have the rarest numbered piece in my collection. NFTS have specific cards that go with them. Rocko is No. 5 out of 999. I started collecting NFTS because my favorite set is Pop! Retro Toys, so I set out to add low mints to the collection.

I love Retro because they are the toys my Dad played with when he was little, like G.I. Joe and Transformers.

The final thing I want to close with is a thank you to my Mom and Dad for helping me with my collecting journey. I wouldn’t have the collection I have today without their help.
