These figures are hideous and low effort. Why must they taint Pokemon now?
There is no shortage of shitty, cheaply-made Pokemon merchandise, dude. It's been a moneymaking factory for two decades.

Depending on the cost I'll spring for both. I only have a few..
I started with Kratos and Atreus, Black Panther and Killmonger. Cuphead tomorrow tho!
You don't have to go that far, you can probably get $5 gacha figures that look better than funko pops.Hate their design, but good for the people who want a little collectible of their favorite character. Not all of us can put down 80$ for a scale figure.
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 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.
The Funko curse. Sometimes they look fine but their QA is awful or something because the paint applications can be all over the place. Worst was the recent Care Bears line, their white muzzles were always splatty around the base and then their nose/mouth would be off center, or the hearts on their palms would miss the indent, or their stomach icon would be crooked... ):I bought the D.va one off Amazon and the paint job was horrible I am never getting any more of them again
They made The Devil too:Depending on the cost I'll spring for both. I only have a few..

I was talking about specifically about the human pokemon characters, as they only recently started making a line of them. Prize figures have been made, but only at a limited time, and they go for 70$ in the after market now.Oh.

So much unnecessary merchandise for a franchise that already aims for the most common denominator.
At least give us good, mature Pokemon games, then you're free to make money with useless merchandise.
That Pikachu is not the best look but I'd be interested in what some of the others end up looking like. There are some Pokemon that could look cool in that form over say the Pokemon Center plush forms.
Also crazy that Pokemon never got a real amiibo line. I remember thinking I'd have 20 different Pokemon amiibo when they announced them and instead I just have a giant Pikachu in a detective hat.
Lol wtf! This can't be genuine...So much unnecessary merchandise for a franchise that already aims for the most common denominator.

......i need theseThey made The Devil too:
Those aren't Pops though, they're just Funko Vinyl figures. They do make Cuphead pops and Mystery Minis though.
If I see these at GameStop when I go to pick up Octopath on Friday I'm getting them.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.
People like the products and purchase them using their country's currency of choice.
or maybe it's because they're soulless homogenizers of everything that was ever interesting or unique about the characters they get to make 2 cent figurines of and are the poster child for the commodification of nostalgia without any creative impulse
It's the usual attitude you see on the internet: popular thing is popular. People who happen to dislike popular thing get strangely angry at it simply existing.
Rinse and repeat.
So... it's pretty much just going to be Gen 1 Pokemon with the other Eeveelutions, Lucario and Greninja being the exceptions, isn't it?
