Kostisfire Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 No Doctor Who? give me twenty tennant variants! Now that's something that i'd buy without a second thought! Heck, i bought the signed 1/6 version which cost around 300 euros but since it's the 10th doc, i can't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 I went to go through my totes of Pops today to see which ones needed replacement boxes after our flooding problem a couple months ago and found another tote with 50 Pops in it that I didn't catch before and still had water in it. Let me rephrase that, I found a tote with 50 moldy Pop boxes in it today. Ugh. I counted and am up to 370 Pops right now (which after downsizing earlier this year actually) and have 98 in bad boxes. I was thinking there was hope to keep an in box collection, but I think that might be too much to expect at this point. However, if anyone is looking for an interesting collection of mold, I am your go-to guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 No Doctor Who? give me twenty tennant variants! I just saw a pic from someone's trip to the Funko offices that had a whiteboard with which upcoming figures are assigned to which employees for design. On the list were Dr. Who #4, Dr. Who #11, Dalek, Cyberman and Tardis. They must have heard your request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 If anyone is looking for MOTU or TMNT Pops there are some pretty good deals on Amazon right now. I picked up all four Turtles along with He-Man and Skeletor for $47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Speaking of MOTU Pops, Disco Skeletor was announced last night as one of the SDCC exclusives: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Believe it or not, that's based on a real MOTU repaint from Mattel. If only they had GI Joe Pops he could go with a Pimp Daddy Destro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 In case you didn't know it, Hot Topic just listed their pre-order for the next two Ponies in that series (Lyra and Pinkie Pie). I don't know if you're getting those or not, but if you pre-order now you can use Hot Cash codes to get $15 off the two. If you need codes let me know. Also, MLP Pops have metallic exclusives coming for three of the four characters in the first wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Did I read correctly that Funko has FIFTY exclusives at SDCC this year? I don't know whether to be happy or sad for you, Groundhog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 No, they don't have fifty exclusives. That'd be crazy. They actually only have fifty-nine exclusives through Funko this year. Of course, that doesn't include the six Funko exclusives not available at the Funko booth. And oddly, some of the exclusives still haven't been announced yet. Well, I say oddly, but up until last year they never gave out specifics about their exclusives and only gave clues. Here's a pic of everything they've announced so far at their booth: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 The last couple of exclusive have been revealed to be a gitd White Power Ranger and a GoT Ned Stark with removable head. Totally the best thing they have to offer (other than the 9" B&W SDCC Freddy Funko they also have). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ned Stark with removable head is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 They had one of those crane grabber games at their booth. There was a guy trying to get Mike from Monsters Inc (or Monsters U? I didn't look super closely), and he just kept pumping dollars into the machine while the rest of the line grew angrier by the minute. I would think there would have been a time limit on the machine, but he was on it for the entire few minutes I was looking around the booth. Man, those Funko Pop guys are crazy.

groundhog7s Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 In the machine they also had a 1 of 48 exclusive 'clown face' Dumbo Pop that hadn't been announced prior to being seen in the crane machine. They gave the rest away at their Fundays party Friday night, but at first it was just believed to be available in the crane. if you look at the prices of what they go for, I can understand why people kept popping in dollars... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=200&_sop=10&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=funko+dumbo+clown&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warburger Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Given that everything has been Funkopopized, I wonder when will Vertigo characters follow suit? Please give us The Endless, Jesse Custer, Cassidy, Swamp Thing, Bigby Wolf, Spider Jerusalem, Constantine, et.al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I wasn't really excited about a TENTH Deadpool Funko Pop, but the Metallic Deadpool is really sharp! Ordered from Gemini Collectibles on Thursday, arrived in my mailbox today, and didn't haven't to pay all that much more than cost. Very happy about that purchase.

groundhog7s Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I hope you got the free shipping they offered. I probably should have mentioned it here for anyone interested. On a related note, the guy that runs Gemini said that they received over 2,500 orders this weekend with SDCC. That's a lot of Pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 A crane machine? Oh man, that's just... that's just awesome. I'd have played it, and I don't even collect these. Zach, are you listening? Great idea for Minimates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 How would that even work? Minimates are way to small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 You could put them in a plastic ball or bubble or something. Oddly, I think I have enough extras to fill a crane machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If you used box Minimates, this kind of claw machine would be fine. However if you used loose Minimates you could use a four sided claws, or a scoop, like in the candy claw machines. I would love a gashapon machine with Minimates inside.

dr baghead Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 So I know these aren’t Pops per say but, Mystery Minis, how do they work?: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FNK11537&mode=retail If I buy a box am I guaranteed to get one of each character? Or is there some BS where some characters are one per 8 boxes chases so it’ll be easier to just buy the ones I want most off eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
