If nothing else, Funko sure does put out a lot of stuff. I can't recall a toy company putting out the sheer variety of figures before. And, the 7" firefly figures are must own for me.

NECA's makes an entire line dedicated to celebrity appearances on The Simpsons. It's only a matter of time, if they haven't already made them.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

Yeah man I got a bunch of stuff in my wish list that I check twice a day to see if they come down to a reasonable price. I was lucky enough to find Black Cat and Black Widow in stores but the grind to have to do that is a waste of my time. Usually I pass on Amazon because of potential QC issues because HASBRO but I'll take my chances this time around.

I have seen the entire wave at Target and TRU this week. I've got all of them now. Initially passed on Scarlet Witch (my WIFE found the entire line at Target and wanted to know what I wanted) but once I saw her in person at TRU I went ahead and picked her up.

Now if only places would start stocking the Transformers Combiner Wars stuff

What bothers me about the Pop! figures is that they have no pop feature or are able to make a pop sound. The logo and everything makes it look like they'll pop or jump up or something if you press them. But they don't they're just statues.

We'll you could press the heads down on the bobble head ones and make a pop sound. It kinda works.

You know I couldn't give a drat about Funko Pops of Spiderman or Batman, but for a LOT of the Funko Pops I got there really is no other figure. I got a Funko Rocketeer because any real Rocketeer is a billion dollars on eBay (though that Legacy figure WILL be mine). Funko cornered the market on making figures of characters I can't find in any other form and that was genius.
Also gently caress Reaction figures, sub McDonalds toy bullshit

Its how they get away with having then in that scale since technically the Marvel Universe figures are the same scale.

The Alien Reaction figures are the only good ones for the obvious reason that they are legit 70's toys. But the rest are super weird and I'd never do more than chuckle lightly at them in the store. Although, I own a T-800 endo, and it's kind of funny looking. My parents thought I would like it. So I appreciate that one as a gift at least. :unsmith:

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



All these licenses and no Justified figures? That's kind of disappointing. I want a Raylan with removable hat, a Dickie Bennett that won't stand up, a Quarles with removable arm, a Loretta being awesome, and of course, a Boyd Crowder with real rooted hair.

I just wish the Re-Action figures came with vehicles.

The only reason I ever bought action figures was that they could ride in vehicles. Action figure lines where everybody has no vehicle and they're just standing around on your shelf like a bunch of derps, is somehow less fun.

Same with the Star Wars figures. Hasbro owns the rights to anything Star Wars and Marvel that constitutes as "action figures", so that's why the Pops and Mystery Minis are "bobbleheads" and why Lego can't do a minifigure series because they're only allowed to release the figures in "building sets", not individual figures. It's really weird and stupid.

Well poo poo, I always wondered why they came as bobble heads, which I dislike. The more you know.

:swoon: I am so hype for these based on announcement alone, holy poo poo.

I still haven't found Capt. Marvel or Scarlet Witch in stores yet, and I missed out on that $22 Amazon price. Yuch. I gotta swing by TRU tomorrow morning when I'm out running errands, I think, see if the wave'll be there for once.

Also, Pop figures are so hit or miss. From their CATWS Pop figures, I remember haaaating how the Black Widow one looked. Something about her face is just really creepy. They are good for making a zillion obscure characters from all kinds of franchises, though. Their Magneto is really great, too. All the new poo poo seems kinda overkill though. The salt & pepper shakers are so ugly. :psyduck:

I bought Rocket & Baby Groot for my wife who loves the Pop figures, and you honestly can't tell the difference. You can absolutely tell they made them just bobbly enough to get away with the licensing issues, but not so much so that they bounce around all over the place.

After this Asgardian heavy wave, I took my spare Ms. Marvel and turned her into the new Thor.



And as for the reveals this weekend, This is gonna be such a good year for Legends and such a bad year for my wallet. I'm also down for those DC Icons figures. I'm curious about how that articulation scheme will function.

The Funko Pop Hordak is a thing of beauty, and $9 for him to sit on my desk at work was well worth it.

I think I'll go for that Rocketeer, too. And maybe Bebop from TMNT.
