kotobukiya scale models.
You can get them on Amazon and eBay, but they are pretty pricey.

I love all the people getting bent out of shape and seemingly upset that Funko exists and people are buying their product. Go outside, get some air, maybe do a little yoga or meditate for a few and have a good think about how you're doing (mentally and physically). Woosah ya'll lol
I dont really like the funko aesthetic but its not a big deal to me anyway.
What i am curious though is how they manage to get licenses for so many popular franchises of every branch in media? It's honestly baffling. In a day and age where many people have trouble to license even minor things from big companies funko got their fingers on pretty much all the pies.

Kotobukiya makes them. Same guys that have made amazing comic book stuff in the past (and still do). Red is getting/has had a re-issue so should be easy to get still. Lillie might be the tricky one, not sure. Blue/Green is due at the end of the year. If you want anime related merch in a similar vein, then Megahouse G.E.M do Ash and co.
This... everytime I goto a 20-30 year olds house and see a wall of these, I shake my head. Probably the tackiest "collectible" out there after empty liquor bottles

Most Pop figures are ugly and way too expensive for what they are.
I like the current Mighty Muggs much better with their three facial expressions, and have been collecting a few of the Marvel ones myself. I like their design better and the head changing gimmick is really cool and well made. To top it all off they're cheaper than Pops.
I feel like this relaunch ended up being a bust. My Target is already putting them on clearance.
I loved the original Mighty Muggs too. Not really feeling the new ones.

save us lord
These are the only ones that genuinely look very good. But of course they couldn't just let that be, so now they are making a cereal...
I can't believe I bought those tacky little figures. I dumped the least valuable ones I have and plan to sell the two Pharahs that remain to a collector.
It's crazy how easy geeks are to sell to.

This is how many people came into a thread discussing a new line of a product only to post that they hate all of that product.
Get over yourselves and let people have fun, the sheer amount of drive by posting in this thread of people whining about something others clearly enjoy is absolutely absurd. We get it, you don't like it, you don't need to say it in every thread.
Some people get too salty when they even hear the word Funko. I for one await the eventual Nintendo Funko pops.
Also I think Nendoroids are ugly

I have regretted most of the Funkos that I've bought. The only ones I really still care about are from franchises that are too obscure (or otherwise underrepresented) to get better quality figures.
I'm sure these will do moster business, but I don't see myself buying any.
Seperately, this topic makes me wish there were more Figuarts and Nendoroid Pokemon figures.

That doesn't make sense to me. If I don't personally like something I don't see how it's possible for other people to like that thing.
Yeah, the only thing bothering me on Pikachu are the lack of shine on the eyes, otherwise it looks fine.
Snowball effect.
Once they were lucky with a few and became popular, all the companies wanted to sell with them.
If I had the meme making abilities the perfect one would be:
Car salesman: *slaps box of Funko pops* This bad boy can trigger so many ResetEra members.

We are always going through Hell whenever we get an exclusive release. This will be on another level though...
You could replace "box of Funko pops" with pretty much anything including "positive/negative comment about a video game" and it would still be true.
It's an announcement thread. If they come out with a good looking Funko Pop, I'll make sure to say it. In fact, they have a couple that I think look alright. But to ask people to not comment on an announcement on a forum is ridiculous.
Also,
Experiences. Better yet, interest.
I'm alright with collecting as a hobby, it is when my little brother talks about how much these things will be worth in the future that I start rolling my eyes.
My girlfriend has walls of these things. Pikachu being Target exclusive means you will not see it.
Amiibo
These things seem to hold value. My gf could sell for a profit. (Though, that's not why she collects them.)

I'm at a point in my life where I'm more about getting a few things I like to put on my desk/self than collecting a large numbers figs/statues. I don't need to Catch 'Em All.
So I must have missed the part where this was a funko circlejerk thread and that no criticism was allowed.
That reminds me I have that Nendoroid pack just sitting in my closet unopened from when it came out years ago, I need to make some room on a shelf for them.
Also, these Pokemon funkos seem kind of appealing to me, but I just don't have the space for pretty much anything else at the moment. Would really be interested in an Evee though.
Didn't want to go through 5 pages of "Funko sux" drivebys, but... did anyone figure out HOW this made it all the way to a store before it even got officially announced?? Real question I want to know, because it's strange... it has a DCPI too, so it's not a fake.
Reading "Pops suck" EVERY time they get mentioned in every thread gets very overdone and tiring...

I really dislike the Pop! line of figures, but they do make some genuinely nice stuff sometimes. Had to stop myself from picking these up when I was out one day.
I bought Mugman. My mom loves it. She took it from and displayed it by her nightstand.
No clue, cause that's a royal fuck up of the highest order. Our Distribution Centers are going to catch hell, especially the one that services that store.
I assume it's because their products sell pretty well. You'd be shocked at how much the average person collects Funko pops.
I'm never really in any Funko Pop threads. And I am disappointed in the product because the Pikachu Funko does look cheaply made and painted.
It does happy sometimes, but I do agree how this happened to a big box store.
I know a couple of months ago Hasbro accidentally shipped the Marvel Legends Apocalypse wave to comic shops in Canada. They made a statement saying it was supposed to be shipped out yet. So I assume it was just a mistake.
But it's clear Funko has these things ready to go.
Thrilled to see that Era's judgmental attitude towards plastic prevails.
Pokemon is gonna be a goldmine for Pops. The next batch of Overwatch ones are great; I feel like video games are generally what they do best.
Yes, god forbid you have to talk to your brother about something he enjoys.
