I went thru Google when the link you provided took too long to open the image.

Hey, I've been searching, and I can find many Pop! versions of Storm, except the original Dave Cockrum. Am I missing something?

I'm in the Funko app, there's cartoon, mohawk, etc, but no original Cockrum. Nightcrawler just got his first version, from the second movie.

Just ordered a "metallic" version of Colossus which seems to be wearing my version of the costume. (As I noted before, working on ELSEWHEN I suddenly realized I'd been drawing his belt buckle differently from Dave's design. No idea why or how!)

My wife finally mentioned my Pop collection, a whopping 5 in boxes that sit behind my laptop. "You're buying quite a lot of those, aren't you?" Aw, c'mon! I didn't bother to mention Troy and Abed on my desk at work.

I wonder how well Storm's headpiece could be done with a blocky head.

Then again, I couldn't imagine Beta Ray Bill working out, but they pulled it off.

A quick count tells me I have amassed around 60 of these little buggers, so your wife should be grateful for your restraint!

A whole bunch of them are in my TV room, on plastic shelves screwed to the wall and bought for this purpose.

The rest are scattered. Some have even made it into the kitchen!

Well, this week I completed my current selection of Funko Pops with the addition of the Kingpin. All of them, with the exception of one (Uncle Sam) are Marvel characters. My original collection started out with just those of Captain America, but then I branched out to include other Marvel characters, either ones that I really like their costumes or those that were part of the original beginnings of Timely/Marvel Comics (Namor, the Original Human Torch, Captain America, The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men and Daredevil). Yes, I know that I don't have one of Doctor Strange. There isn't one of him based on his original, first appearance yet.
After collecting the heroes I decided to follow suit with collecting their main enemies, two of which another Marvel Comics FB group helped me with in determining. Unfortunately I can't afford the Red Skull for Captain America and there isn't anyone available for Ant-Man or Iron Man at this time. When I was trying to find out who the Hulk's primary arch nemesis is many pointed out his alter-ego, Bruce Banner, which makes total sense! Fortunately the Hulk Pop that I purchased included Bruce Banner so that took care of that, LOL! Then recently I reached out to determine who Daredevil's main villain is and it was a close run between the Kingpin and Bullseye and I went with Kingpin.
If time and space allows I wouldn't mind getting the original Sinister Six. I already have Electro and see that all the other members except Mysterio are available, and I'm not sure why they didn't make one of the comic book version of Mysterio! It's such a great costume design that would look great as a Pop.
