Poppin'
I know not everyone is into Funko Pops, but I love them. I saw recently that Funko had a special limited-edition Pop, Dean with the Impala (and the leather jacket and the Samulet!), that was supposed to be a ComicCon exclusive. And I mourned the fact that I wouldn't be able to get it, and then went on with my life. Imagine my surprise when I woke up to an email from Hot Topic this morning, encouraging me to order the damn thing from them. Did I? Hell yes.
I also did a bit of a search and found a coupon that wasn't supposed to apply to this item, and was apparently supposed to be for new customers only, and yet it worked on my order. Obviously this was meant to be.
But this presents a problem. It's just Dean. There is no corresponding Sam. And I've already got regular Sam and Dean in their jeans and button shirts over T-shirts, and I've got FBI Sam and Dean in their black suits. But now I'll have this Dean without a Sam. And this bothers me, partly because I'm a Sam!Girl and partly because I'm OCD enough to require sets to remain complete but mostly because it means this Dean is missing his Sam. Is maybe wondering where he is. Is possibly very worried, or maybe even mourning him. Am I going to set this new Dean and Baby up in my office and then get sad every time I look at it because Sam is gone?
I know. First world problems.
But what do I do? Do I add a Sam? I could get a duplicate of Civilian Sam, or I could get a version I don't have, but I'm not particularly interested in the ones out there (blood-spattered, metallic, or blood-spattered metallic). Maybe I could get another Civilian Sam and paint his shirt plaid? Hmm. I like that idea. But Impala!Dean has eyebrows for some reason... would I have to add them to Sam?
I could take a black Sharpie to that red shirt and recreate the Red Plaid Shirt of Wonder. I absolutely could.
(Also, there are now two special editions of Dean without a corresponding Sam, because there's also a MoC Dean holding the First Blade. Come on, Funko. Can't you come up with another Sam? In a white suit, perhaps? That'd be awesome.)
And speaking of ComicCon, I know the Js were on Conan last night, but I haven't watched it yet (I have, of course, seen it all over Tumblr). Surely there weren't any spoilers, right?
