So like any collection there comes some terminology that goes with it that others who are in the know, know, and use like second nature. But for those who are new to the community may feel lost...Damn it people Im lost! So I did some digging around to find the "Funko Lingo" and am compiling a list of frequently used terms. If you know some that I dont have listed please email me so I can add them [email protected]
Flock: is a fuzz coating
Chase: is the same as the original but its slightly different like some glow in the dark or the could be metallic, If there is a chase of ppop, it will usually have a sticker on the front that says chase
GITD: glow in the dark
SDCC: is a term for limited runs that are sold at San Diego Comic Con for the event
CC: means Comic Con(vention) so whenever you see 2 letters in front of the CC that is for the city it was held in or the name of it so for examples SDCC would be San Diego Comic Con or NYCC is New York Comic Con etc
Fractions: a fraction such as 1/12 or 5/15 etc means a limited run and the number that Pop is in that run
Wobbler: is bobble head (a Pop that has a spring in the neck allowing the head to move around) and is also a line called Wacky Wobblers which is an official Funko brand.
