The Laura wrapped in plastic funko is tasteless, indeed, but the other one (which I found right now checking examples) it's not bad.
I have the Leland Palmer funko, it's nice.

Funko has gone too far this time

Are you aware that rape and murder are real things that happen to teenagers?
It's tacky.
Yeah, when I first saw this, I thought it was a joke mockup... but nope.
I thought they went too far when they made a toy of a teenage girl who was raped, murdered, and wrapped in plastic.
So is every single opinion. You could literally quote almost any post on this website and make that same comment. Why even bother posting that?
dunno, I like twin peaks quite a bit (tho I didn't want to get the pops since my dumb toy collection is too large as it is) so I could see how someone who is just as big a fan as I, or even bigger would want all the merch and sometimes that merch isn't pretty because the source material isn't pretty. It's also a pretty iconic figure for the show.
I mean dead laura palmer is pretty iconic at the very least, that toy has nothing on the most fabled "who would want that?""action figure" of all time....
You are correct. This is definitely when they went too far.

It's an ugly figure for sure, but is it really too far?
It's an iconic image from a celebrated piece of fiction.
I've run into people that cosplay this at conventions. People draw fan art of it. The Blu-Ray has it on the cover. A popular fan 'zine was named after the image. People go to the beach this was filmed at and wrap themselves in plastic to recreate the scene in which her body is discovered.
People do these things because they like the character of Laura Palmer, not to celebrate the terrible things that happened to her.
Yep. I love that movie, in part because it connects to my coming to America. Much like the movie The terminal with Tom Hanks.
I think Coming to America was a really funny movie back when I watched it years ago so if it brings sales then good for them!
However...

This is absolute trash. I don't know why they would even make this to sell.

A little part of him is inside each one.
Not a fan on Funko pops but I could see how someone could want Coming to America ones. That Twin peaks rape/murder victim one tho.... WTF!
I dont watch Twin Peaks so my knowledge of the character and the situation is limited at best. But outside looking in it comes off pretty gross. Im not going to make (or sign) a petition asking for its removal but i dont think considering a toy like that being at best questionable is "clutching pearls".

Ok this is too far.
Goldblum though....I'll take three!

Yeah this is probably the worst one and I remember my eb games having a ton of them in stock like WTF
I didn't..
...but I want one now.
"I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE...."
The worst thing about the Laura Palmer one is that it is one of the best Funko Pops available. The eyes are closed so it doesn't suffer from the hideous Funkoface and the body is covered by plastic wrap so you can't see their shitty modeling. What an absolute garbage line of toys.
It's probably the most famous scene from a pretty iconic show?
Minnesotan here, will be searching Targets for the exclusive ones!
Funko Pop covered walls, react videos and "professional gamer" race car looking chairs - things thousands will cringe to death when looking back 20 years from now.
Garbage
Garbage
Uh, why is this a problem again? I loved the movie as a kid and know someone who'd enjoy this as a gift.
