karamazov80 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here's the ultimate problem I see with Funko products, how much life do these have before the entire line implodes from either too much product, or more likely, by being replaced by the next "hot trendy collectible"? Does anyone see these still being around in a few years? Funko Pop = Beanie Babies... I see the Pop! line as being more analogous to Kubricks. Tons of licenses, basic look, rabid fan base willing to spend rediculous amounts on variants. Silence you! They are nothing alike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 So - apparently Hordak *WILL* have the Horde/Bat logo on his chest..... and apparently i'm going to have to start spending money on these damn things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I don't even collect these things and I think I'm gonna have to get some of these great exclusives. How could you not! Look at how awesome and exclusivey they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have been trying very hard to avoid collecting these things. So far, I've only bought one (Green Lantern, $2.50 at Target), but they keep threatening to suck me in. So, uh, anyone know where these can be bought cheaply?

groundhog7s Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 hp, you're pretty much looking at $9-$10 per Pop and there are a lot of on-line options. In store, you'll find them at most B&N, Hot Topic, Frye's Electronics and some LCSs. Every year Funko releases their yearly catalog with most everything coming out that year (although some from last year still haven't come out). In this year's catalog were the following Pop figures:IM3 Thor 2Monsters UDisney series 5 Star Wars series 4 The Big Lebowski Dr. Blake Downs Ace Ventura Jay and Silent Bob BTTF (Doc. Marty and a Delorean) Superman and Zod Walking Dead TV series 3 Despicable Me Big Bang Theory (Amy & Leonard) Wizard of Oz series 2 Wolverine movie Dark Knight Joker and Clown Thug 60's Batman TV 60's Batman TV Batmobile Sonic the Hedgehog Gears of War Starcraft Diablo Mass Effect TMNTAlien vs Predator Robocop Hannibal Lector Chucky Pennywise the Clown Sam from Trick or Treat Capt Spaulding Ghostface Scarface Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Game of Thrones series 2 Christmas Story (with cowboy Ralphie, Bunny Ralphie and the Old Man with the lamp) Superboy Robby the Robot B-9 Regular Show Adventure Time series 2 WWE Michael Jackson Beavis and Butthead Misfit Fiend Iron Giant Evil Dead and best of all, My Little Pony Seriously, that's about as overkill as you can get. And none of that includes the insane amount of exclusives they'll be doing this year (such as Deadpool, who gets glow in the dark, yellow X-Men uniform, inverse uniform, X-Force uniform and unmasked regular and X-Force exclusives). Total insanity, but as I've said before the Pop line will have more different licenses to it than any other toy line by the time they are done.

Nessex Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 FIVE Deadpool variants? Seriously? It's like Punisher in the 90's all over again. So much over-exposure. It's getting worse than Wolverine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Here's some pics of the catalog. I stil think it'd be awesome to see a DST version of this. http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/a-bunch-of-funko-new-reveals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Here's some pics of the catalog. I stil think it'd be awesome to see a DST version of this. http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/a-bunch-of-funko-new-reveals Thanks for sharing. Iron Giant is a must have, and ill have to try very hard to not get the TMNT and Power Rangers. Sometimes it's good to be a collector in the UK, as you don't see things in person, and therefore don't have as many impulse buys. The 2.5 inch figures look nice, but I hate blind packed anything. A pain in the butt to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I swear, the guy that negotiates their licenses must be the most persuasive man in the world. They must be hiring out of work pharmaceutical reps. @Groundhog: Yes, I know the places where I can pay FULL PRICE, but I'm looking for bargains, man! Bargains!

karamazov80 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 ****ing Big Lebowski. Seriously DST, get your stuff in gear, and get that license yesterday. Also, Army of Darkness, and Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbpanizzi Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Bloody hell! Those Game of Thrones blind boxes are cool. And I have a feeling I will be owning the MLP regardless if my wife sees these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sure sure. I bet "the wife" will get all the Pony figures for "her" collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 No seriously. I don't care for the one's shown, if there were boy ponies, I might care. that makes them not girly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 http://popvinyls.com/?p=1653 Interesting interview with Brian M. (president of Funko). It gives some info on Breaking Bad Pops and Indiana Jones. As it's been said before, if only DST could open the doors this guy seems to have the keys to.

hellpop Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 So I'm very slowly dipping my toes into the Funko Pop! waters... trying to be smart about it, though. I bought a GL on clearance, and I bought Wonder Woman and Hawkman on Amazon. My local B&N has a bunch of these, but I'm really trying to keep it under control. Pray for me!

Jeff Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I loved seeing The Thing---but will only get him if they do the rest of the FF. I do want the Disney Aladdin wave though as well as Rocketeer, and Planet of the Apes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I gotta admit, I'm confused as to why they're doing Jasmine, Genie and Jafar, but no Aladdin in that wave, especially since they'er slowing down on how many Disney waves they do a year. Just kind of weird. And hp, it sounds like you've already hit the point of no return. I think so long as you don't turn into the type of collector that starts buying all of the prototypes too you're probably safe though.

Jeff Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I just assumed Aladdin with a tiny Abu on his shoulders WAS there and I just didn't see it. That's a bummer. Maybe I'll just get the Genie then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Argh! Seven Deadpools that I know of so far. Well, this fool and his money will be parted! Have the regular and the GitD Deadpool on the way, looks like I missed the pre-order on the Inverse. Keeping my eye out for the others.
