POSTS STORIES REELS

👑😱 Umm, yeah…so, to say Day 1 of my US trip went off with a BANG❗️might be an understatement 😳

I had planned to go to Funko Hollywood for some shopping, but had no idea that @funmakermike would be doing a signing there (as well as Elvira).

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mike and giving him some Aussie chocolates and Pop Tart swag. He was kind enough to sign my Social Media Freddy Soda AND give me these two mini protos of Ursula and Boo Hollow AND pose for a photo. Honestly, the energy of this man is just kindness and generosity.

It was so great to also meet and catch up with other Funatics @the4thcurator @pop_soda_magic @comicszombie and @soulj_ustin

Then had the pleasure of a long lunch with @jedik6 at Shake Shack (but we forgot to take a photo) 😂

See my stories for more. But honestly, WOW, what a day… 🙌🏼🎉🤩 by @pop_tart_down_under

🏆 I don’t know what just happened but I won the Funko “Rookie of the Year” award (for the Funatic forum/boards) on stage in front of 3200 people.

Rest is Peace, Pop Tart Down Under, 2023 😱😱😱

I cannot thank the Funko Forum Moderators and @originalfunko enough. I am truly speechless 🤯

🎞️🎥 Welcome James Dean as Jim Stark from “Rebel Without A Cause” (1955) @funko Pop! prototype.

I’m a big James Dean fan, and of this movie in particular, ever since my film school days that commenced back in 1998! 🍿

Big thanks to Walter @monroyvault for selling this one to me and to BFAM LJ @calicollectibles for the assist in getting it to me 🥰✨

Very happy to add this to the collection. I love how the whole body is red and the brick base plate is all white 🤩

💀🎸 Happy Dia de los Muertos (All Souls’ Day) from Australia 🐨 Today I remember my Dad.

This picture of Miguel from Coco was taken in the back yard of my childhood home a few years ago. Mum sold it this year after moving to Tasmania.

The green structure in the background is a treehouse that I helped Dad build in the 90s. It was his favourite place to take a siesta.

I added a campfire and a folding chair to this pic. Dad loved to sing songs around the campfire on family holidays, which is where my love of music began.

Today I remember you, Dad 🥰

All my love, Ross ❤️
