I'm glad I never fell down the hole to collect Funko. I have a couple I got as gifts, CM Punk and Sheamus, both wrestlers and a Freddy Kruger keychain. I do collect Applejack stuff but obviously will not be getting this one.

I'd keep an eye on the market just in case you get a good price for her. I got Burnt Daenerys (from a three-pack) for dirt-cheap because someone picked up her and Khal Drogo second hand out of box, and the price was heavily cut due to a) no Rhaegal and b) unboxed. I also nabbed a Red Error Dany for only £10, I was utterly shocked but she is legit and MIB!

A Limited Release would have been better and FAIRER. Those who want a particular POP! gladly get the one they want (in my case, Daenerys and Princess Luna). Avatar was also a victim of NFTs, which was shocking as it's so popular. They've got a horror icons drop coming up and that's even WORSE as there are a *lot* of horror collectors, either in general or of a particular franchise!

The fact that Applejack and Rarity, two 'core' ponies, are part of this is just absolutely insulting. They should have been part of the original wave, I STILL don't understand why they weren't. Princess Luna has a devoted fanbase, and no NMM POP! either?!

My pink Anthurium that was a Mother's Day sale victim has 'stabilised' I would say. I repotted it in orchid bark in a nice big pot and cut off the dead/diseased leaves and flowers. There's one flower that should be cut off as it's rotted in the middle, but overall I think the plant is doing okay. She needs a lot of care but she's soaking up the light in the kitchen.

I miss not growing chillies ... I have so many seeds and I have a couple of tomato and carrot seeds as well, plus little daisy seeds. I NEED A GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE!

Hehe she was SO CROSS it was hysterical! I was worried she wasn't very cuddly and didn't want to come near me over the week I've been off, but I think I've figured out what's wrong; she was scared of something on my desk! I've removed it and today she flew onto my head twice and came down to mess around with my papers/have lots of cuddles so we're getting back to normal!

Slept quite a bit, done some big chores like changing the bed and taking the bins out for collection. I still have more rubbish to go out and signs to put on bins that have the wrong stuff in them to get emptied and 'reset' (I'm kinda the 'bin police' for my block). I'm trying to look for hotels for a concert in Dublin, I'm only away three days but OMG THE PRICES?!??!?!? WHY SO EXPENSIVE!??????????

NFT. So you don't actually get a physical pop, just a digital image?

From what I understand, you get an NFT image thingy, and then if you get that then you have a chance to win a physical POP figure in a lottery or something? It's a real mess.

 really? that's crazy :shocked:

I asked this on the r/FunkoPop board when Princess Luna was announced; the official site says this:


Quote
Funko Digital Pop!™ are sold in digital packs starting at $9.99 USD. When you open your packs, you’ll receive random Digital Pop!™. Every pack has a chance to receive a Legendary or Grail Funko Digital Pop!™ that can be redeemed for a limited edition, physical Funko collectible.

So it's pretty close to a damn lottery. You purchase a pack of NFTs like trading cards, and you have a chance of getting a digital POP! inside that can be traded for an IRL POP!. It's absolutely disgusting. I shelled out for Princess Luna, the prince for Wedding Daenerys with Egg is £500+!!! I'm so disgusted with the entire thing, NFTs have CRASHED Funko, you would just earn clean nice cash if you offered the POP!s straight up you utter idiots.

Plaster casting kits were a thing in the 90s, I very specifically had a Hunchback of Notre Dame one! It's possible it was from an officially licensed casting kit, maybe even one that's more recent since there's retro waves for G1.

Every so often I just wake up and look at the news to figure out if we're all going to be ended or there's another war/atrocity ... it's just ... so emotionally and mentally draining. There's only so much human misery you can intake before your own brain starts to dissolve like it's in acid.

To keep the Trivial part of the thread, changing the bed is such a pain and yet it's worth it when it's done. I ordered clothing a week ago and it's still in its packaging, I haven't gotten the courage to try the trousers on to see if they fit, I hate shopping for trousers so so mcuh  :cry:

I feel you on the dishes ... it doesn't help I have limited room and big pots that need done >8C

Took Younger Birb to the vet as I was worried about her, but also to get her weighed as she was overweight. Happy to say she has lost 9g (very good!!), her keel bone is far more easily felt through her chest, and she was a piece of cake to get in the carrier. She threatened the vet with a good bitin', and yet she is the most innocent and gentle little bean with me! I'm almost mortified saying she's so hand-tame when clearly she doesn't feel the same about the vet wrapped in a towel  :lol:

It was a very long day but her vitals are totally fine so that's great. I was worried she wasn't very cuddly or seeking me out, but she just might be a bit distant from moulting and because I had/am having a bad depressive episode, I probably took it harder than normal. She's eating right now and is bright and alert.

Cleaned my heavy duty air purifier, need to wait for the parts to dry for 24 hours now, and the parts of my bathroom Aero 360 dehumidifier thing are soaking before I put it back together and put a new tablet in. I did nothing due to the depressive episode so I'm kinda catching up.

Oh man, I'd buy the heck out of that Daybreaker (is she an AU Celestia or something? Her design's rad as hell) if she was a regular release too :(

Yeah, she was part of Starlight Glimmer's nightmare, a sort of 'what-if' that was pretty much the Nightmare Moon version of Celestia.

Man I was excited when I saw that Daybreaker. Crying shame it's a dang NFT or can only be gotten through NFTs.

NFTs or eBay  -_- I'm a Daenerys collector, the fact there's one Dany I will never get without paying INSANE amounts of money makes me cry. I'm only missing Gold Dragon and NFT Danys from my overall collection (and two minor multipack ones if we want to be really pedantic)

Another wave of Funko NFT G4 ponies. The fact they're putting common or core ponies in the NFT line like Rarity and Applejack is a sick joke. Daybreaker looks like a really cool sculpt but man is she going to be scalped to high heavens. I was mad having to pay a lot for Princess Luna, I'm going to be even more mad if they bring out Princess Cadance as part of this line as well.

I LOVE making beef quarter pounders (well, 'make', they're frozen I just cook them) but MAN do they STINK and the amount of grease that comes out of them into the grill pan ... every single time I need to deep scrub the cooking utensils and pan after making them.

Talk of blood draws under the cut for people who don't like to read medical things


Spoiler
I gave blood and when trying to get samples from my fingertip, they squeezed pretty hard twice (as the first reading was low). They eventually went to an arm test which showed far better results, but they had to take from the arm that doesn't normally have blood drawn (it can't be the same arm I usually donate/get samples from) so the veins decided to all hide and it took TWO nurses to find one. My middle finger is REALLY tender now and I KEEP forgetting about it and hurting myself when I grab things, and my poor right arm has a nasty needle-bruise.

(My left arm was easy peasy to get a vein, but it also meant for the rest of the day I couldn't carry heavy things)

Absolutely not $100 unless tracked and signed for above a certain value! I'm UK or I would help!
