I have a confession to make: I LOVE Funkos. I don’t have many, but I want to own all of them. I’m a sucker for all things cute. Long before I even knew what a Funko was, I often found myself checking them out in the stores because who can resist those adorable round eyes that look so sweet, even on a villain. When I started my journey to nerdy, one of the first things I did was give in to the urge to buy a Funko (given that resistance is futile and all that).
To share the story of my first Funko, I’m hooking up with some of my favorite bloggers, dePepi and KimiWho for the very first Funko Friday.
There were many Funkos I wanted to buy as my first. I remember standing in Barnes & Noble debating on just who would be the lucky Funko to come home with me. I really wanted Malcolm Reynolds and Wall-E was looking pretty adorable, too, but then I stumbled upon, tiny Dancing Groot.
Now he dances away every time I drive and when the road rage happens to bubble up, I just look at Groot and feel happy instead. He never cringes when I belt out a tune, he just keeps on dancing.
I feel like he’s my driving sidekick and my son will often tell me to turn up the music so Groot will dance more. I’ve since acquired a few (not enough) other Funkos, but Dancing Groot will always have that special place in my heart as the first.
What was your first Funko?
Aw I loves him! I have him as well, but my Groot has a dark teal planter and says “I am Groot” on it. 😀 I think you made an excellent first choice!
I really love the Christmas Groot planter as well 🙂
Dancing Groot is a great choice for a first Funko!
So adorable! I can’t wait to get my first one! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Definitely go get one – they’re so cute and addicting 🙂
Dancing Groot has been one of my favorite purchases! He sits on my desk at work and makes me smile all the time. I love him!
He’s just so cute – it’s hard to not smile when you look at him 🙂
Awww I have him to he’s the cutest xoxo
So cute!! They released a Christmas themed pot version of him and I am SO getting it to add to our Christmas decor! 😀
I will definitely be getting him to add to our Christmas decor as well 🙂
Love him! He’s totally adorable, and its awesome that he sits on your dashboard<3 I get some pretty bad road rage so I think seeing Groot smiling and dancing would help with that:P
For some reason, the car just seemed like the perfect place to put him 🙂
How cute! He is at the top of my “must get” list! 🙂
He’s definitely a fun one to have 🙂
Awww this is cool! I love Dacing Groot (I have him too!) I don’t have him in a car, but on the desk I work, and he always cheers me up 😀 Lovely Funko to start your collection!
xoxo
He’s such a fun one to have – seems like lots of people have him 🙂
I have this little guy as well. I think I pre-ordered him the second I learned about him—the GotG end scene with Baby Groot is in my top 5 movies scenes of all time, and Groot is one my my favorite “superheroes.”
That was one of my favorite scenes as well – Groot is just such a great character.
My first Funko was Voldemort. I just thought as a Funko he was so cute! Now I have the whole Harry Potter set! (the first one at least)
I’m so jealous you have the whole HP set – definitely need to get more of them soon 🙂
