My Custom Pops

So we all know about Funko Pops, right? Those adorable little 4" tall plastic characters from movies or TV that have become so popular in the past few years. I have my own collection; I have the Animaniacs, all five of the Gummi Bears, Josh and the Zoltar machine from Big, Peter Venkman, Zuul, Louis Tully, and the Ghostbusters firehouse, among others. I shall not say exactly how many. Ahem. 

I think they're so stinking cute and sometimes when I read a book I can picture what the characters' Pops would look like. If I can figure out which actual Pops resemble the characters (the right outfits, hairstyle, etc) then I can swap heads & bodies, do a little painting, and voila! I have my own one-of-a-kind Pops for my favorite book characters! (If you're interested in making your own but don't know how, I'd be happy to walk you through the process. Just message me.)

Here's a quick list of the ones I've made so far. You can visit my Pinterest page for more pics and info.

Custom Funko Pop Tutorial

Image
 I’ve had several requests for tips on how to make a custom Funko Pop so I thought I’d put together a step-by-step tutorial for anyone who’s interested. I’ll be using Simon & Baz as examples but just know they are rather advanced Pop-ery - not all pops are this complicated or difficult. But most of the info below is relevant to any custom pop you may want to make. Even if you're not making Simon & Baz, do read through the entire tutorial as there are relevant tips throughout. Leave a comment below if you have any questions or requests for anything you want to see that I haven’t included here.  ❤ ❤ ❤ STUFF YOU’LL NEED Paper towels Cups that fit a funko pop inside (one cup per funko pop) Boiling hot water Acrylic paints & paint brushes (if painting is required) Optional but recommended: Box cutter/X-acto knife Super glue (the gel kind, *not* the liquid) Toothpicks (helpful for small detail paint work & clean-up) Matte Finish spray Here's the Pops I'm working w...

Red White & Royal Blue the Collector’s Edition by Casey McQuiston

 Red White and Royal Blue The Collector’s Edition  by Casey McQuiston  Oct 11, 2022, St. Martin’s Griffin 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇬🇧   I first read Red White and Royal Blue back in December 2020. I became a fervent fan before I had even reached the end. I had never read anything like it before. I LOVED it. I wanted everyone I knew to read it and love it as much as I did. And now… it kind of feels like they do. 😂  “They” may not be people I’ve actually met in person but I do know, now, a whole lot of people who love the book as much as I do, or more.  RWRB is the book that really started me reading again. I absolutely devoured it, and wanted more. I soon discovered “Bookstagram” and the rest is history. I now have many new favorite books and authors and a whole bunch of amazing people I am lucky to call friends - all because of this book.  👑 The special Collector's Edition of Casey McQuiston's beloved  New York Times  bestselling novel, features: • illust...

Book Haul: January Edition

Image
Book buying ban? I don’t know her.  🕶  Okay so I know I said I needed to stop buying books. But in my defense I had a few bucks saved up at Pango Books from a few sales I made so I bought a first edition signed copy of   What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera. It was a really good deal, too. So then of course I had to grab the new release sequel Here’s To Us . Can’t have one without the other, amirite? Never read these before but I’ve heard a lot about them. Hopefully they live up to the hype.  Then I spent my Amazon rewards points on Before We Disappear , Love At First Spite (which is excellent! Buy it, read it!), and Float Plan . I had an ulterior motive  another reason for buying the last two, which was to add them to my Blue & Yellow book shelves! (See below 👇🏼) Sanatorium actually worked well for that, too, so that went up there as well. And that one came from Waterstones and has yellow sprayed edges. 🤩   And I had to ad...
