I actually went to Funko's headquarters in Everett, Washington last summer. Was in the Seattle area, and just decided to head on over because it was so conveniently close by.
That was where I got my first ever POP. Not really a collector, per say. Mostly got it as a sort of souvenir.
And of course the Disney fan inside of me had to pick up a Kuzco one, especially since Emperor's New Groove merch is hard to come by nowadays
I've only obtained one more since, which was Roz from Monsters Inc, as a Christmas gift from my sister
