I think it will make a great collectible. I hope they release more of Aaliyah with looks inspired by her music videos.

Most definitely! I wasn't

Most definitely! I wasn't keen on it at first, as they seem to only be more focussed on Aaliyah's first era, in comparison to her other era's like OIAM, RMD and her Aaliyah era. I would definiely love to see a look from Are You That Somebody? or We Need A Resolution, including some red carpet events like from the 2000 VMA's where Aaliyah is wearing her iconic Roberto Cavalli zebra print dress. ????

The Aaliyah Funko pop seems

The Aaliyah Funko pop seems to be selling out fast. A while back I've seen it on Walmart, Target and Gamestop websites now they are not even showing up on their sites. Hottopic is sold out too. If I would've known it was going to be this popular, I would've preordered one.

Honestly, I'm not surprised!

Honestly, I'm not surprised! Anything with Aaliyah's name on it, whether the workmanship is of a great quality or not sells because of her name alone. I think the Funko Pop is the one thing where it shows more creativity and relevance, as well as a highly prized collectors item which will be worth something later on down the line. I ended up buying two! lol One to keep in the box, and one without it. A similar thing happened to myself when I wanted to order an official Aaliyah cap, and when I went to checkout, it was all sold out ???? I was pretty bummed about that, as the design looked so dope ???? Hopefully they do more! But with that being said...I just want her music to be sorted first as that should be a main priority ????

Yes, they need to get her

Yes, they need to get her music on streaming apps. If they are not able to do full albums, then at least just her top singles. I know actually what you mean about merchandise being out of stock. That's happened to me many times on Ebay with the rarest of Aaliyah magazines.

Agreed! I feel like they

Agreed! I feel like they definitely need to do something this year as it marks 20 years since Aaliyah's passing. A 20th anniversary special LP edition would be very fitting! And yeah I hate when that happens on Ebay, especially when they over price it ????????‍♀️ It's like they think us fans are made of money! ????

That's awesome! ????????❤️ Glad you were finally able to get yours! ???? And I'm sure they will do more, since this one sold out so quickly! Hopefully they decide to pick a look from one of Aaliyah's other eras ????

I think it's a great collection

I would love to see them coming out with more Aaliyah's trends. I love this era from One in a Million to Aaliyah. Her style shows maturity & she was a trendsetter at that time .

Agreed! ???? Would be great to see different era looks from Aaliyah, as AANBAN is not the only era she was ever known for. Would also love to see some of her red carpet event looks too, like her 2000 VMA look, or even Tommy Hilfiger! ????

Even though they only did one

Even though they only did one era look, I'm hoping they'll do more since it sold out quickly. I wasn't keen on it at first, but close up they got all the details on point, so I'm happy about that!

Me too. I'm not a fan of

Me too. I'm not a fan of funko pop dolls and I was afraid Aaliyah one won't be done well but it came out very cool. When it comes to AANBAN era they picked perfect look :) the only complain I have about it is the fact Aaliyah funko has no lips and Aaliyah had great lips!! Especially her glossy lipsticks were one of her hallmarks.

That was the same with me! I

That was the same with me! I liyerally only got this Funko Pop! because it was Aaliyah! ???? And I feel you on that sis. I noticed on Selena's and a few other Funko Pops where they included the lips. Oh well...I'm hoping they'll do more looks in the future! ????

Wait what?! ???? Where did you

Wait what?! ???? Where did you order them from? That's just ridiculous! People be so quick to take the money and yet don't deliver on the goods. Same with Blackground and the vinyls! ????????????
