What's your stance on Funko Pop figures /co/?
I am not a fan of them, pic related is the only I own.In fact I think it is the best looking one.
>>83677948
Most of them are ugly as hell.
>>83678093
This.
Also, never heard of them until last year.
>>83677948
They're inoffensive, and people only hate them because every 7:10 look bad or generic and they're popular with normies.
>>83677948
awww who's this fella? he looks like a funny guy.they all look so fucking cute it's annoying. even the Xenomorph is adorable
>>836781>>83677948
My kids love them. Princesses for the girl and capes hit for the boy.
Big Hero 6 Fred looks great. That's basically it.
why are they so popular when the majority of them look like shit
It's the least creative figure line Ive ever seen.
they don't interest me because they either look generic "cute" or just bad because the style of whatever doesn't translate, but I don't hate their existence and can see how people can enjoy them
Didn't own any until the overwatch reaper one. Fun for one off characters I guess, but they're the new beanie babies imo
>>83677948
They're incredibly cheap and lazy, and certainly not worth the price they sell them for.
I'd be okay with them if they were like, $5, instead of $16/$18 here in aus.
eh i like them, not all of them are good and most are generic and basic as hell but there's a couple that I like and i plan on getting more. I don't really consider it a waste if i genuinely enjoy having them
>>83677948
They're cute enough and a nice way to have inexpensive and socially acceptable merch. I've got The Flash and The Reverse Flash. They're also only, like, 10 bucks in the US.
They make good gifts if you need to get someone a present and have a cursory knowledge of what they like.
Some of mine
>>83677948
I only buy them for characters who don't look like regular humans. I just don't think humans look good in this style. Also I like anatomically correct figures more. I've got like 5 or 6 Funkos. Not /co/, but this is my newest.
>>83678547
Yeah. They tend to look best on nonhuman characters.
looks to be a good way of removing money form suckers
Complete garbage. Owning one is genuinely telling the world that you're a piece of shit that will buy ANYTHING.
I think anyone that owns more than 3 of them is a hack. If they really enjoyed having a collection they coudl spend real money on some figures but instead spend 200 bucks on ten of these. They'll die out like beanie babies did since they have no real value nor do hardcore fans enjoy them.
>>83678787
I think I've bought 2 out of the fucking 400 I've seen, the Slimer one is actually pretty cool. I try to buy as few figures as possible because I don't want shit everywhere. I think going with that mentality helps you wind up with a nicer and less obnoxious assortment. I did kind of get addicted to the kidrobot Simpsons blind boxes though
Poorly designed, poorly made. Dull, uninspired, ugly, boring and a waste of space and money.
Not kidding when I say you might as well shit into mason jars and put them on your shelf if you consider buying and putting a funko figure on display.
>>83677948
Too expensive to collect, but fun to grab a favorite or twothe only one I own is the Donald Trump one
Nendoroid did it first and better. Still a waste of money and cute crap shit.
>>83677948
I think they're all ugly little abominations, and yet I feel pressure to have at least one of them.
I feel like they'de be better with slightly less wide heads and eyes that are a little less perfectly spherical.
Yeah, a lot of them are ugly as sin and I feel like even the good ones are a tad overpriced - I just can't bring myself to spend money on them.
But I know I'm getting a few of the neater ones for my birthday, so it's fine.
Do you collect a certain character? Then they're good for increasing the quantity of your collection.I own both WALL-E and EVE, would probably never buy another.
>>83678900
Wait that's a thing?
>>83678977
Yep. Amusingly this little set came out long before it was nearly certain he would be the nominee, Funko saw the writing on the wall
>>83678927
Nendoroid has much better detailing as well as usually having different face plates and extra items.
Still way too expensive, but I can at least understand people wanting some of them.
>>83678927
This.
the only reason you'd buy a funko instead of a nendo is being a poorfag that wants to fit it
While I don't really like them much, I do own a few as some of the characters they make figures of have no collectables or merchandise.
>>83677948
I can't stand these things, they're extremely unappealing to look at and they're everywhere
I just hate super deformed shit, you just have to make the figure actually look like the character its supposed to be, that's all
These are retarded and ugly
Anyone who disagrees is entitled to their retarded opinion
>>83679033
This. They are one of those things you buy 1-2 of to fill gaps other places never will. People that collect all of them are retards who will be dissapointed in a few years when they stop being popular
>>83679011
Shit now I gotta go get me a little Donald
fucking cheap mass produced garbage and lowering the standard for the collectibles industry
the only upside is that theres plenty of them of many different characters but unfortunately they look like crap
i own a han solo and chewbacca one but only becausemy mom gave them to me
>>83679082
Ashens-sama?
im just waiting for a cancer funko pop, its just an empty box, kick in the balls and $50 down the drain.
>>83679185
>lowering the standard for the collectibles industry
>>83678093
This. I've yet to see a Funko Pop figure that's made me want to actually buy this.
>>83679254
honestly yeah
if people will buy this shit theyll buy anything
why bother trying to make something not of abysmal quality
http://shop.toyartgallery.com/
Choose your (expensive) abomination, the one-ticket to the slippery slope.
I have a shitton of them. I dig it. suck my normie dick
>>83679337
Only if we can cuddle afterwards.
The only one I own.
>>83679254
He's totally right though.
I think a few of em are cute enough (got myself a BB-8), but the fact that they've got like half a dozen Jared Leto Jokers when the movie hasn't even come out shows how easy these things are to produce. It's lazy, very little thought goes into them, and the fact that they're selling like Beanie Babies (and will likely degrade in value along that same line) is encouraging other companies to pursue the same thing.
Who needs good paint, detail, or articulation when you can make a simplified base of something with a big head and tiny body, then spend an afternoon slapping any given character onto said base?
There's a few that are cool, like BB-8 or Godzilla or the Sharknado, but the vast majority of ones that adhere to the standard design are boring as fuck.
>>83679415
>interesting costume with various bits
>a fucking mouth
Ones like this are best.
>>83678565
Do more blindbags, those are always the best ones.
>>83679011
>Trump and Bernie literally have the same exact body, but in different colors
I don't even hate the design of these things but good fuck that's lazy.
I bought a borderlands psycho one a few weeks ago. There really aren't many options for borderlands merchandise and I wasn't going to get the clap trap one. I feel like the psychos are a bit more iconic then the annoying robot. They're need little collectables if its something ur obsessed with I suppose. Adventure time ones sounds cool. Are there any other ones then the lich king?
>>83679415
I feel like something is missing.
He doesn't have those glassy eyes, so he ends up just looking kinda dopey.
>>83678200
The Adventure Time big bad. He's Neutral Evil. :3
>>83679453
>Not Poundland Delicacies
I honestly don't get why people collect these.
They're expensive as fuck for what they are and look utterly miserable inside the box.
Not to mention how, unless your favorite character has a REALLY specific costume or hairstyle, a lot of them end up looking generic as hell (see Tyrion Lannister or any wrestler that isn't John Cena, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, or Daniel Bryant).
>>83679534
The food ones are alright, but we always know that it's gonna taste like shit.
There's literally no knowing what's gonna come of a blind bag episode.
>>83679546
I understand that collecting them sounds dumb but buying a few from something you really enjoy won't hurt anything.
![jpeg[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/dFIkX2a.jpg "jpeg[1].jpg")
>>83678093
Yup. It wouldn't bug me nearly as much if they didn't do the soulless black eyes for everything. There's those Steven Universe mystery funkos that don't do the soulless eyes and it makes a world of difference. Too bad they're sold as mystery boxes which is an obnoxious business practice.
>>83679546
>expensive as fuck
>under $10
where do you live that $10 is expensive?
>>83679605
Somebody from/sug/is supposedly buying two display cases of 'em and is reporting the weights of each blind box along with any other give-aways they might have.
>>83679572
Like, I get collecting stuff.
I've got a lineup of Predators and a LEGO Justice League, I get it.
But there's so much better stuff out there than FunkoPops, and for a similar price.
Like, I like the Hound from GoT. I think he's fucking cool. So I got a figure of him for like $11 (on sale). Articulation is kinda rough and the paint is janky on his face, but slap the helmet on and pose him right, he looks pretty slick.
I'd rather have that then a poorly painted chibi version of the Hound that costs more money.
>>83679621
These things are never $10 when I see em in stores.
Usually $11 at the very least, maybe $10 if there's a sale.
Not to mention you're paying for a tiny plastic bobble-head with no articulation and basic paint apps.
The mark-up is absurd. I dropped like $18 on a Spider-Man, sure, but at least I can swap out his hands and pose him like Sailor Moon.
Cheap garbage.
I don't see the point, since toy companies usually make actual figures for collectors. But I guess it's o.k. for characters they don't do. Mighty Muggs seemed cooler, though.
>>83679605
>Blind boxes
Why is there always one figure that's totally boring and awful.
Like, there'll be a blind box with a really good lineup, really cool characters, but there's always ONE that has no business being a figure.
>Breaking Bad Meth Drum!
>>83679031
or not being a weeb
>It's a "opened the blind box only to find the "special" unpainted variant figure" episode
>>83679647
>reporting the weights of each blind box
For what fucking purpose? Are SUckers really planning on bringing weight scales to the store for this shit?
>>83679031
>>83679023
>>83678973
>>83678927
I like Nendoroids more but really, get over yourself.
>>83677948
I don't like them. I don't mind cute things, but most of them aren't even cute. It's kind of like that old furby fad.
>>83679768
>Not buying from NECA
A person who collects FunkoPops is someone who's too poor to invest in quality.
A person who collects TONS of FunkoPops is an idiot who doesn't know how to manage their money (or someone falling for the same trap as people who spent tons of collecting Beanie Babies in the 90's).
>>83679647
>Not just scanning the barcode
Whatever it takes to keep autists from leaving the blindbag section a wasteland of torn up cardboard I guess.

Are you referring to Amethyst transformed into Steven? That has to be the dumbest one by far.
>Amethyst transforms into a lot of things, should we do one of her as Purple Puma or something? She uses that one a lot.
>"Nah, make her turn into Steven! People will love it that there's now purple generically posed Steven in these boxes along with 2 other perfectly good Stevens already!"
>>83679787
No need to get pissy about it, it's a simple fact that if you're going to piss away money on a cute figure of a character you like, nendo's are objectively the better choice.
>>83679930
I'm more pissy that it's starting to feel like Nendo shilling rather than legit reasoning.
>>83677948
Funko pops are literally diarrhea-tier.
BUT! Non-humans look good. Like that Lich.
>>83679807
no you autist, im saying nendo only does anime and mango, you're not gonna get cartoon/show figurines from them
>>83679981
How exactly is saying "Nendo's are better on a technical level, even if they are more expensive" shilling? Is it against the rules to say somethings better than something else?
>>83680034
You're mostly right, but they do have some capeshit and disney figs as well as some video game characters.
>>83677948
shit anon i just bought the same one the other day an it's the only one i have
I actually like them and really want to own some of them, like pic-related.
>>83679337
>I spend lodes a mone on cheap, samey junk
>TAKE THAT, NON-RETARDS
E~etto?
>>83680034
>you're not gonna get cartoon/show figurines from them
>>83678973
>>83680115
great, now where's the rest?
>>83677948
Don't really see the appeal especially with those huge soulless eyes.
>>83680115
that's not a character from a cartoon or show
>>83680163
In the Nendo Database.
>>83680163
They have

Heath Joker
MCU Iron Man
MCU Iron Patriot

As a fan of statuary and craftsmanship in general, these things are an abomination unto the art.

>>83677948
No DC c-listers, I'm not interested.
They just keep exclusively jerking that Bat-cock, while the Marvel ones have some b-listers like it's nothing.
Also, the bobble-heads are shit. The ones I would have otherwise considered getting happen to be bobble-heads
>>83680321
>>83679917
NO!!!!! THERE'S AN ONION!!!!!
>>83680321
>>83680393
>people actually waste money on this shit
>>83680427
Not that surprising considering there's people who actually still buy comics here.
>>83679605
These actually look okay, especially the lion.
>>83680321
These are terrible; the epitome of bland, lazy design.
Especially egregious, as there's probably tonnes of decent Sailor Moon junk out there
>>83680455
>there's people who actually still buy comics here.
>>83680427 does.
>>83680471
Hey, man, don't hate. I like Funko Pops. I realize that they're not the best figures out there, but I really like them. They're cute and have that simple appeal to them.
Generally, I find that the more non-human a Funko Pop figure is, the better.
Only one i own.
Theres a bunch of shitty looking ones but some also look pretty good. They are also cheap enough and accepted enough by Normies that when any stop buy my place they don't get weirded out they usually just go oh cool its x character.
If i had more room id probably buy a few more i really want the Sailor moon ones and i kinda hope they do some more anime ones.
>>83680214
So nothing of value. I see.
>>83677948
They're garbage
I own the Claptrap and Doomguy ones. I'm hoping they'll get the Overwatch ones in at my local Game.
>>83680601
But >>83680293 claims it's of value
>>83677948
I think that they're alright but the issue that always comes to mind when I think of them has less to do with quality/aesthetics and more me not understanding the draw of legitimately collecting them.
They feel fadish, which to me makes it hard to think that they'll last long enough to gain something resembling timelessness or ubiquity, which I think is important element of collectible stuff. It's too long for me to explain, but from a gut perspective it's just difficult for me to imagine looking at a half wall of Funkos 15 years from now the same way I look at a sizable collection of Hot Wheels or carded Star Wars TPM action figures today.
>>83681109
Yeah a problem with it is that a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon at this point. I think a lot of stuff will eventually go down in value while a select few might hold their value (due to cross-sell). Sort of like 90's comics and Beanie Babies where people think nothing has any value (which causes exceptions to rise in value)
Captain Kirk asking the real question
>>83680221
When you lower expectations enough, there's nowhere to go but up.
1. I don't like owning lots of stuff, especially things that have no purpose beyond sitting on a shelf.
2. I don't like the nerd industry. Marketing dorky things to people who think they're le epic nerds xdxd
With that being said I've gotten 2 as gifts. I'm not a fucking autist so they are on my shelf. Tom Baker as the doctor and a bobble head darth vader.
What I really wonder is how they managed to get so many licenses. Marvel, DC, Transformers films, Conan the Barbarian, Golden Girls, Regular Show, Ghostbusters, Various horror characters, Star Wars, and so on.
>>83681909
decent taste in dr whos, but a little normie
>>83680542
>and accepted enough by Normies that when any stop buy my place they don't get weirded out they usually just go oh cool its x character.
This going to be on my wall next week, biggest size they got. How fucked am I?
>>83681935
Like I said, gifts. I was surprised my friend got me 4, he doesn't even watch doctor who. I think he remembered walking in on me (we're housemates) watching city of death.
And the Darth Vader was from an ex who had never seen star wars before I got her to watch it, she really enjoyed it.
>>83682026
Why choose such a weird expression?
If they have extra facial features or a different body they can look okay
If it is just the basic blank head and beady eyes they are shit
>>83678927
Also this
>>83679782
>For what fucking purpose?
To tell what's in the boxes, it's the same thing with TCG booster packs.
>Are SUckers really planning on bringing weight scales to the store for this shit?
No, but he also said that he plans on posting case layouts which is a big relief.
>>83679830
The barcode for blind boxes are universal, ya damn fool.
I got a Perfect Cell one because of Episode 51 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
>>83678867
>I did kind of get addicted to the kidrobot Simpsons blind boxes though
Well unlike Funko the KidRobot Simpsons figures actually manage to look like stylized versions of the original character and not some soulless beady-eyed piece of shit.
>>83683115
Versus the Funkos and don't tell me you'd actually prefer the shit in pic related over >>83683115
>>83683139
>marge's boobs
Geez
>>83677948

If you like them buy them
If you don't like them don't buy them.
>>83683180
Grey Lantern pls go
>>83680427
>how dare people buy something I don't like
I can't find the one with Elsa as comparison, but this will suffice
>>83683475
Funkos are what, 5-8 dollars US? A Nendo is gonna run you something like $50.
Comparing the two is nothing short of asinine.
>>83677948
I don't get them, and I don't buy that kind of thing, but if someone gave me the orange Oscar the Grouch one I as a gift would probably love it.
>>83679782
You don't carry a set of scales with you wherever you go?
>>83680183
>Godzilla in the style of classical Eastern dragon
That's fucking cool
>>83680533
I could only see myself getting this one, Power Girl, or the Golden Girls.
Then again, I'd rather get a nice figure of Peej or Manta, Golden Girls get a pass because there's not really any demand for Bea Arthur figures (unfortunately).
>>83681949
That's a fucking great poster.
>>83682026
This'd be pretty decent if he didn't look sad/confused.
When will we get real R&M figures? Cause I'd totally buy a good-quality Rick.
They're really fucking shit. I probably wouldn't hate them so much if they didn't take up huge sections of any collectibles store.
>>83683115
I wish these things were easier to come by, they're so cool but I can't justify paying shipping on 'em.
>>83683529
>5-8 dollars
More like $10-15.
You get what you pay for, but come on man. That's a lot of money for something with no articulation and shitty paint.
Compare that to NECA Godzillas that you get for $20, but can easily pose alongside MonsterArts that'll run you a couple hundred.
>>83683217
>how dare people mock me for wasting my money on cheap plastic shit
>>83683950
Yeah I don't see the point in collecting them if toys and LEGO sets are the same price and look better.
>>83683925
There's plenty of places that sell them out of the box though.
>>83679754
it's like pottery
>>83684005
I got a couple of these i really need to go on ebay and get the Donu head homer, Kang and Kodos.
>>83683896
It's so they can sell the cooler pose one as a convention or cratebox exclusive

>>83683115
>>83683139
That's really an apples/oranges thing. The equivalent to your Kidrobot example is Funko's Mystery Minis. And in both cases you can spend way too much trying to complete the set if you're blindly doing it. Shot, depending on how rare some figures are
>>83685408
Stupid fucking phone. Anyway...
Shit, considering how rare some figures are, you might end up having to pay more than it's really worth, like Pops, too.
>>83684213
Holy SHIT how new are you
Their Inside Out Anger didn't look angry.
That's all I needed to know from this line to judge it as absolute shit.
i dont own any yet, but i think they're allright, i dont see why people are complaining about the price so much, they really arent that expensive. i got the groot bobblehead for my roomates birthday, he liked it enough.
pic related is my figure collection, all but one of the snow miku nendoroids all the way up to real action hero kill la kill. come at me bros
>>83685821
babs says hi
>>83685848
Get back in the chair
Keychain pops are fine, as the style works for me on the tiny scale, but full-size pops are ugly and a waste of space.
Only two I own. Looking into the Big Daddy as well though. And there's a Bray Wyatt one coming this year that I'll probably buy.
>>83677948
Some of them are ok, but by amd large the art style doesn't fit them.
Pic related is supposed to be gene from bobs burgers. Outside the keyboard, it's just a kid in a yellow shirt.
>>83679011
I was thinking of getting a trump one but these (and all human ones) are fucking terrible. Even his trademark hair looks like shit and instead he has a big blank face with giant eyes. I don't think most people would even recognize him
>>83677948
They're the new beanie babies. Ultimately they're a fad that people only buy because they think they're going to be a valuable collectible.
>>83677948
It's the eyes. They use solid black eye colors for everyone, which looks sorta creepy. But, some characters, such as the Lich, actually do have black eyes, so it looks better that way.
>>83685821
Groot ones actually good though. Has nice wood texture on his body.
The non-standard ones are really neat.
I'd like a few choice ones, but I'm waiting for the bubble to burst like Beanie Babies.
>>83680985
The Pharah one that's out now is only from Blizzard's shop, so you're gonna have to get it now and from there if you want it.
The worst thing is when they only make 4 for a franchise and they end up choosing the most boring characters to represent.
>>83686922
I think they probably would. Show that picture to your nearest normie and see for yourself.
>>83686922
>Even his trademark hair looks like shit
Well, his trademark hair does look like shit.
>>83687129
>>83680985
It's sad that those are the only Overwatch merch they have right now. I'd love to have a tiny Bastion or a D.va on my desk.
>>83679754
Every box is Greg and you know it
They're normie magnets, as evidenced by how there's a fucking hundred Batman ones and over half the entire collection is from surface level mainstream 'geek culture' of whatever the hottest fiction television show or blockbuster movie is.
I've got these two myself. Apparently there's at least two more variations of #239.
Local hobby/card store across the mall where I used to head a grill got like four of the normal ones and four of the Burning variations. Got 'em both for like $25 for the generosity of the friends I had running that place.
>>83687421
That one's alright. Is the paint job as good as it looks?
I prefer plushies. Just as nice to look at as figurines, but I can also hug them when the crushing loneliness gets too much!!
>>83677948
They are only acceptable when there is no good merchandise available of the series and their eyes aren't human-like. So your Lich and >>83687421
are the only ones in this thread I would consider buying.
>>83682049
Oh shit, I really want some of these. Been dying for the Street Fighter ones.
I know /co/ and /v/ would hate me for this, but I really want Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, and maybe Ken.
>>83690310
i'm so mad because none of my street fighter favs are getting one
>>83687421
Shit, I really want this one. I hope they come out with a King Ghidorah one sometime with the next Legendary one.

Like who? I'd kill for an Ibuki figure, maybe an Elena one as well. Akuma too maybe.
I mean, I know there are better figures out there, but they're a steal at the price they're at.
>>83689278
This guy knows what's up. Plushies are the GOAT.
>>83677948
See this one actually looks pretty good because the eyes are the exact same kind of eyes Lich has in the show.
The fact that they're soulless black voids actually works with the character, something that doesn't happen with 90% of the other figures they have.

>The barcode for blind boxes are universal, ya damn fool.
It depends on the manufacturer. Some do have serial codes that you can use to distinguish them.
>>83690436
Maybe, but they're hard to clean when they get dirty and when you have more than three or so, you look like a teenage girl.
I have 6 Harry Potter ones, Dark Sansa Stark, Andre the Giant, Doc Brown, Joy from Inside Out, Bane, Heisenberg Walter White, Gamora, Sepia Peggy Carter, Vision, and no mask Kylo Ren.
>>83690468
>Sakura
God, I'd buy that one so hard.
>Zangief
Come to think of it, it's strange that he's missing. He's always been one of the original World Warriors. He really ought to be included but oh well.
Also apparently they're coming out with Resident Evil Funkos as well. Gonna have to buy my girl Jill Valentine in that case, especially if it's the original S.T.A.R.S design.
I got the jabba set just so i could have salacious crumb because hes my favorite puppet ever. But they are cheap and lazy the leia doesnt sit up on her own.
Used to collect the DC Line, but stopped since the paintjobs on all of them were always fucking awful and botched. Haven't touched them since.
>>83690511
Why are you getting them dirty? Are you a filthy boy? Are you doing lewd things? Dust isn't an issue since you can just beat that off and in the instance of incidental accidents, you can spot clean them by hand.
I also keep one on my desk at work and it thankfully people don't tend to be messy outside of their own workspaces here.

Eyebrows can make a world of difference.
>>83690596
>Are you a filthy boy? Are you doing lewd things?
As a matter of fact, yes, though not with plushies.
I've seen some get filthy just from sitting on a shelf, and the myriad of fabrics and colors used would make it tricky to just throw in the wash, and there would still likely be color fading.
>>83677948
Creepy and ugly.
>>83677948
Only thing I like about them is how they will make some replicas of some fairly obscure fandom characters that otherwise never would have had a figure made at all.
But I think they are incredibly lazy and the single design for everything under the sun just bothers me. I would rather a company make vinyl figures of totally random characters from movies/shows around the same size. They only serve the single purpose of adoring my computer desk anyway.
>>83690720
My collection site in a corner of my room out of direct sunlight and slightly raised off the floor. If you keep them out of direct sun and wash them when they need to be, with a little soap in warm water it's fine. Can't recommend putting them in the washer for the reasons you stated and it can ruin their stuffing.
>>83678474
>not unboxing them
do you think they will be more collectible or something. I have mine by my sports bobbleheads
So what's worse, Pops or amiibos?
>>83690528
yeah I though Zangeif would be a shoe in
honestly myself I don't see the appeal of them.
I dislike that the fucking things are EVERYWHERE its gotten to the point where i have seen them in clothes shops in my town,
i like that they are relatively cheap as far as figures and can be a cool way to get something from a Franchise inexpensively.
i wonder what profit the company is making atm
>>83679782
you know autistic ebay lords would do this
>>83678474
who the hell is the hound and cthhulhu? is that octopus thingy a ripoff from pirates of the carribean
>>83677948
What they do right: make obscure and loved character figures at an affordable price
What they do wrong: make them absolutely hideous with bulging beady eyes
Some of them are bobble heads which i personally find tacky and gimmicky
>>83678547
>>83687421
These are nice.
But for the most part I don't like them, I would prefer something like pic related if I had to own a chibi statue of a character I like.
Eh. I like 'em.
>>83691202
This is bait right, it can't be legit, no one is that unaware right?
>>83691202
>He didn't even put bait on the hook
2016s beanie babies that will be worthless hunks of plastic in 5 years. if you're gonna buy a vagina deflector at least get some figures that are on-model with points of articulation.
>>83691915
I love this mentality, that I've only seen here, that people are buying these things because they believe they have some sort of value. Makes me laugh.
>>83691985
i know it's hard to comprehend the words you read but if you'd have read the second sentence of my comment you'd see i also comment on their ugly design which i assume is the only other reason anyone would buy them.

>>83690528
>>83691027
theres like a 99% there will be a series 2 with him in it. I mean they have fucking Dan in wave 1 before Zangief or E. Honda, so they gotta do another set.
>>83693849
Yeah, there will likely be a Series 2.I just want Nintendo Funko Pops. Give me a Samus Aran Pop figure, plz.
>>83694274
I'm thinking I'd dig some Zelda ones, particularly a WW style Chu-Chu, but the eyes are such an important part, and they'd never compromise on it.
>>83694449
I'd buy a Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf Funko Pops, easily.
I'd buy the hell out of a Samus Aran, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, and a Metroid figures too. Not even ashamed.
I only own this one. I don't like the rest though and don't anticipate I'll be buying any more.
>>83694549
Do you want Zuul?
>>83694610
No thanks.
Seeing as how this is buyfag territory I'll post what /co/ stuff I have.
>>83694721
Fuck, I still need to go out and get that Mignola Batman statue at some point.
>>83691475
>no Moltar
DROPPED
This is the only one I own. Ironically yet another one with more facial features than usual (i.e. they actually bothered)
>>83694274
>>83694484
Samus could be good with her helmet on. It would be better than the shitty eyes the use for everything else.
>>83696323
Right?
I'm imagining it in my head right now and it seems like it'd be awesome.
Would buy.
A Mother Brain figure might be sweet too.
Masked figures are usually good.
Their faces/heads are garbage.
The only one I ever considered buying was the Judge Dredd one until I took a closer look at it and realized how retarded it looked with no mouth.
I fucking hate all of this collectible branded figures, except for the weeb ones that just look chibi animu and are poseable

Have you considered painting it?
Makes a world of difference in some figures.
>>83699678
God damnit.
>>83677948
Ugly as fuck.
I asked the guy working at HMV (that sells them in my city) what their appeal is.. he said people collecting them because everyone else is too. Blah.. no thanks. :-P
>>83698875
You think that's bad you should've seen the Robocop
>>83680394
Onion is the objectively the best character in the show you nerd
I only own Doomguy (and the Cyberdemon, because might as well) because of the collectibles in the new game. 2cuteThat's how they get you, I know
only one i have. like the minimalist design. hard to fuck up
>>83677948
I don't really like them much personally, after seeing them and their price, I suddenly got the urge to start browsing amazon and ebay for might muggs.
>>83684213
I can't believe I took the bait
