POP Funko! Willy Wonka



I find Funko Toys' "POP"series to be pretty awesome. I enjoy finding the characters and collecting them. In my years of collecting them, I have also been able to make some extra money for other collections because some of these little buggers go for serious coin. 

Willy Wonka will be sticking around in my collection as I absolutely adore Gene Wilder. His rendition of the magical man in the purple coat is borderline psychotic but still loveable. I found Depp's Wonka to be zany but with no love which is something that made the original so attractive to kids. 

He does have an Oompa Loompa friend but I am undecided if I want to seek him out. The new Alice in Wonderland Chesire Cat however....

Goodwill Finds: Book Editions


I really enjoy Goodwill and finding treasures in it. I have a ritual of searching the store in a pattern: Kids' books, toys and grab bags, furniture, VHS, DVDs, adult books, and the showcase window.

During my time searching, I have set a few goals for myself for "milestones."
