We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




Explain so I don’t have to look it up?

...Okay, used my tablet’s “look up”, and the Wikipedia snippet mentioned “the world’s first shotacon” :smithicide:

boku no pico is not, in fact, the world's first shotacon

anyway its creepy and bad but also so are 99% of hentai ovas ever produced and the hyperfocus on boku no pico definitely has a lot of inherent homophobia. note this is not saying it isnt bad please do not twist it like that. its just weird people get so hyped up on joking about it when there's plenty of stuff thats the same thing but straight

I am both kind of unsurprised and deeply disturbed by the fact that there is a wikipedia article for it.

That needs more context. Vic is claiming he's getting a Funko Pop that's - wait for it - a conglomeration of every character he's ever done! It's totally not somebody's crappy custom job!

Yeah, I figure you can sell like bespoke custom Funkos on like Etsy, but this looks like it's something that's going for some level of mass production and general sale.

They combined all the characters into one fake Funko (Fanko?) because making more than one mold was a bit more expensive, which probably tells you everything you need to know about this operation.

Probably to avoid trademark lawsuits too it doesn’t pass muster to resemble anyone’s work...

All of the best stuff is unaffected, though.

Divination Wizard, Hexblade, Lore Bard, Variant Human: None of this stuff is restricted at all.

The only notable strong thing that PHB+1 blocks is Yuan-Ti, but they added ways to get that in-game with extra benefits, so...

Worse. The promo page says "one of a kind". And as someone in twitter mentioned:

https://twitter.com/JosephGlass/status/1299970797675728896

So some modeller/vicstan built one of these, is going to auction it off to another vicstan, and Vic will probably take a nice little cut from the promotion. Look if Vic didn't do the hard work of travelling to that strip mall in the middle of a covid pandemic that person would never be able to sell it for as much. Value add!!!

I mean, I would. Can you imagine having that sitting in your living room next to official action figures based on characters you used to do the voices for?

That's weird, why does the Funko Pop have Sabo's hat from One Piece? Johnny Yong Bosch is playing him and doing a great job. As far as I know, Vic is a disgraced former voice actor and is in fact not playing Sabo.

That actually looks better than the actual Funko Pop Sonic by virtue of not having the default Funko eyes.
