Eyyyy looking for something cute?  Well, Ms. Kristine Abad of Toll Verification Department got you!

Since childhood, she considered herself a fan of collecting items that her father gave her. She started with remote control cars, from small to big cars, as well as CDs and DVDs. Her passion for collecting was inspired by her father.

By the time she reached high school, purple-colored stuff captured her heart and that’s when her journey with BTS and Funko Pops collectibles began.

Let’s hear from Mam Tin about her exciting experiences on her collecting journey.

I started collecting Funko Pops since 2017. Nakita ko kasi yung childhood friend ko nagpopost ng funkos niya sa FB niya then I messaged him and asked ano yung line of collections na yun. Then he showed me some of his funkos and dun na nagsimula ang lahat. HAHAHA…

These are my first Funko Pops that I bought at Universal Studios Hollywood last 2017. 🙂 Since I’m a fan of Diana (Wonder Woman) and Star Wars sila agad unang binili ko dun. 🙂

Since then, halos every month bumibili ako sa funko stores, and I’m also a member of Funko Funatics Philippines, the official club of Funko collectors here in PH. Yung paisa-isa lang muna hanggang sa dumami na sila haha. All in all 216 Funko Pops (regular and limited edition)

 My Funko lines:

• Marvels
• DC
• Anime
• Harry Potter
• Star Wars
• Lord of The Rings
• NBA
• UFC
• Disney
• Stranger Things
• Music and Movie Icons
• Tv series
• Jollibee
• BTS

Aside from Funko, I also have this line of collectibles

• Q Posket
• CosBaby
• Dorbz
• Rock Candy
• 5 Star

Collecting these items is truly captivating, bringing a deep sense of fulfillment to the owner’s heart.

Collecting is more than just buying objects. Ellie Broad
