Funko has brought a lot of new friends and memorable experiences into my life. Upon Funko’s HQ Grand Opening in 2018, which I attended with two of my good friends, Wes and Kelly Mosier, brought together because of our love of Funko, I got to meet Kevin Smith. My mind was blown.
I wasn’t one of the lucky early entry Funatics that got to get in first, meet Kevin Smith, the cast of Comic Book Men and get the signed Kevin Smith Exclusive Pop. It was heartbreaking but you roll with the punches. I love Kevin Smith, his work and love of geek culture and nerdy fandoms. At this particular time, his AMC show Comic Book Men was one Jon and I never missed an episode.
It was my turn to walk to the Funko wonderland and I did get the HQ exclusive Pop. I was thrilled.
Upon leaving the store, I saw Kevin out of the corner of my eye talking to some local police officers, taking photos and signing items. I rushed over, with my my new pop in hand. I was about to yell, “Hi Kevin,” when security stopped me and said no more signings or photos today. By chance, Kevin looked over at me and smiled and said to security, come on guys, that’s what I’m here for. That’s what Funko is all about, the fans!
We chatted for a few minutes about Pops, he signed my new Kevin Smith exclusive and said, “keep on having fun.”
Thanks Kevin! I truly am having a lot of fun.
