Seriously why am I totally going to buy this?!?

I bought that for my mother-in-law, she watches Sy-Fy movies because they’re stupid in a fun way, and she was raving about how funny Sharknado was, so Christmas shopping done!

Well, it's officially Funko's world, and we're just living it it... they've got the NFL:

I know what you're thinking... "but Hellpop... there's no Philadelphia Eagles! Who in the world would want those?" And you make an excellent point. Just more motivation for the Kelly's Heroes.

A case of the Guardians of the Galaxy Mystery Minis did not yield a full set, despite the 1/12 rarity of each figure. I missed out on one of the Rockets, and got two of the light gray Ronans (which I didn't even want one in the first place - the darker metallic looks better). *sigh*

Also, the glow in the dark Nebula & Drax look identical to the regular ones. I had to charge all four to see which ones were which. I'll be getting rid of GitD Nebula & regular Drax.

Have I mentioned how I had ZERO idea that Marvel Funko Pops were all bobbleheads, and how much I frakking hate bobbleheads? I was quite surprised when I got the Amazon exclusive unmasked Star-Lord. Even the Minis are bobbleheads. Why? *sigh*

None of these (or TMNT or Supernatural or Frozen or Kratos) are bobbleheads:

Right on.

I have to add Funko Pop to my X-Men 1 diorama collection. This will be a welcome addition to my Marvel Legends, Marvel Universe, Heroclix, Superhero Squad, Squinkies, and of course.. Minimates.

Funko's doing Sesame Street now:

Ironically, they chose to do the exact same kickoff exclusive that Palisades did for their ill-fated Sesame Street action figure line, a figure I could have bought (it was at Wizard World Philly that year) and didn't, which I still kick myself over. Lesson learned: never listen to your wife when it comes to your collection.

Anyway, Bert and Ernie will be mine.

I know the shape of the eyes is a feature in the comics, but i kind of wish they'd keep the little black circles consistent across the Pops.

I don't mean that Venom cant have his crazy, jagged white eyes, but perhaps they could form a white circle at the inner eye & flair out from there.

Still - these look pretty cool and i might have to break my 'x-men only' rule and get a Spidey 2099.

EDIT:

Kinda like this (excuse my MS Paint skills)

Personally I wouldn't be a fan of that, and since Venom doesn't have normal eyes I don't think they're being inconsistent. But then I'd be happy if they were less consistent on that score; those eyes have kept me from buying a few figures (Spider-Man, Vader, Stormtrooper).

Found Dancing Groot at TRU when I was looking for minimates. The price wasn't marked so I didn't realize until I got home that they were charging $13. I like getting things early but that's a significant markup so it might end up going back.
