My habit was to only buy one if it was symbolic of some meaningful aspect of my fandom or from something I really valued, and then only one per. So I have a Chandra from Magic, Claptrap is basically my video game one, Saruman from LotR (because books) and I've got Sark from Tron (because Tron). I kind of cheat because I also have Lo-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China and The Dude from Big Lebowski (so that's multiple movies), but I allow it because they both have strong sentimental value for other reasons.
The only one I've ever really wanted that I can't get is Cortana from Halo - the Halo 4 one sells for like $250 on Amazon now.
I'd be hard-pressed to think of any other possible Funko Pops that could really inspire me to want to buy another one, though. Maybe something comic related (that's one of my major fields of interest/inspiration that I don't have a Pop for), but I've never seen one that really speaks to me (and I honestly can't think of which character I'd want to pick to represent ALL comics in my eyes). I'm sort of in the same boat for wrestling - I've been a fan for years so it would be an appropriate category to represent, but I have no idea which wrestler I'd consider to be THE iconic one to own (or even just a favorite). Other categories might include stuff like music (which would probably be 80s related), cartoons (but again, 80s related), or even CYOA/gamebooks if there was something from those (which I doubt there ever will be). I could also consider RPGs, but the problem with those is that they'd only ever release signature characters from the most popular games (like Drizzt from D&D), and I don't give a shit about any of those.
Also, I'd probably shell out for the Sixth Doctor from Doctor Who, but they're mostly up their own ass with the modern series and I don't give a shit about it anymore, so that's not helping. I feel like that one ain't happening any time soon.
I might get one for RWBY, but I don't know if I care enough to bother. I've kind of dithered about this one for a while now.
I might have to go through a site like this and see if anything pops (no pun intended) out:
I just gave a look at some of them. The jawa one doesn't look good at all which is a shame since I love jawas. I guess I would limit it then and only buy the ones that actually do look good.

Supposedly they want to recast everyone. Feige's apparently already mentioned thinking about recasting Wolverine as a much younger actor, so anyone hoping they convince Huge Jackedman to stay is kind of out of luck. I assume they wait somewhere between 5-10 years, sweep the entire board clean, and start the franchise over from scratch, likely with MCU ties.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do something where mutants start showing up for the first time in the modern era, rather than saying "Oh yeah, they've been there the whole time." They might have some people (like Xavier) or villains be subtle mutants in the background, but the first public mutants (like the X-Men and the Brotherhood) will show up for the first time years after the snap.
