I'm surprised you're not just buying the original puppets, to sit on either side of you while you watch movies.

I’ve considered getting full 1:1 replicas but I just don’t have space for them.

I am in general principle opposed to Funko Pops but I do kind of want to get a pair of Crow and Tom Servo just because I want some kind of figures of them and haven’t ever found anything else.

This is how it starts, isn’t it?

There’s a well-worn adage: Funko pops suck, until they make one of something you like.

I'm inclined to respectfully disagree. I caved and bought a couple Pokemon ones a few years back and came to regret it. One already has been donated and the other is not far from it.

I bought Rick and Morty pops when the show first came out and that’s all there was.

Still awful. I gave them away for free. They’re just boring and ugly. They make ones for things I adore all the time but gently caress getting em

I would just like to add that the Batman '66 Nightwing design is incredible. The flares! The chest hair! Also, does this open the door to a '66 Jason because I'm trying to imagine that dynamic and it's cracking me up.

You know, with Vader wielding a lightsaber, you could have just saved yourself the trouble and just scattered all the Stormtrooper parts at this feet.

I figure this would be the place to ask; does anybody remember a line of FF7 figures from back around when the original released? the Bring Arts with the classic designs that are coming out now reminded me of a Vincent toy I had when I was a kid. I distinctly remember leaving it unattended and my best friend's dog chewing his head up lol. I seem to remember they were pretty good sculpts (could just be rose colored glasses), and I remember pretty limited articulation - like I think think maybe the only joints for Vincent were at the neck and elbows? no leg articulation at all I think - but I distinctly remember ball joints at the elbow, not hinges. and I know my friend had the Cloud and Sephiroth of this line; I'm fairly sure the whole party got releases. I've done some googling but cannot find the version I had anywhere. please goons, validate me by finding this toy I'm thinking of! thanks

Yep, you're thinking of the Extra Knights line made by Bandai. I bought them myself when the game first came out all those years ago and have been slowly replacing them with the new Bring Arts that are trickling out. It's rad we finally get Yuffie, Cid and Cait Sith.

Still love those classic FF7 figures. I remember wanting the box set my local gaming store had. Some day I'll get those figures, including the little chocobo and toad.

I just got Cloud by himself from that old line. Really funky articulation but they nailed the style.

Their exclusives tend to be easy to find in store, they just might not put up a large quantity for preorder. I do hope Warbird becomes as easy to find as past Target exclusives because that one is real high on my wish list.

Yeah I have no faith in my local Targets getting her in (I never saw Black Widow in stores), if anyone sees an extra and wants to grab her for me I’ll happily pay you back.

Well, that was not the case with their Track Suit Mafia exclusive.

All the Targets around me are bereft of Marvel Legends and have been for since Christmas. It just feels like Target is not interested in really carrying this line any longer. So why do they keep getting exclusives? Very frustrating. Lost out on Carnage and now Warbird.

Looks like the Zabu wave is showing up in places. Amazon just told me Red Widow will be here next week. Saw some folks posting that a couple had come in stock on Entertainment Earth.
