SDCC 2016 Pop! Discussion

[treswright]

What's everyone breaking their wallets on: Freddy funkos, SDCC exclusives or both?

Yes. And Conans. Don't forget Conans.

All of the above

[perfectflaw00]

None of these are must haves for me, but the selection is really good so far!

This.

All over social media (and a few posts here and there on this site) I've seen people seriously complaining because "Ugh, none of these are absolutely blowing my mind! Funko's really sucking this year!" Yeah, that's not an exaggeration, and only after two waves of reveals.

Just a friendly reminder that Funko cannot possibly make a Pop that will blow every single person's mind, but that still isn't stopping them from trying. They're still putting in a ton of work to give us awesome variants (I'm not even a Supes fan, but that "False God" variant is nothing short of incredible), some brilliant variation (c'mon, who here didn't immediately convert to the Dorbz side when they Vanellope's car?), and a ton of surprises (Duck Dodgers! Our first look at a brand spankin' new line!). Even if you're not spotting one that you absolutely need (yet), you can at least acknowledge that Funko's knocking it out of the park so far with these exclusives, appealing to an enormous range of different fans.

These next few weeks of reveals, be a Wildflower

I certainly think funko has done really well with a varied selection so far and personally I enjoy the fact they went with this false god Supes, but I can see it being divisive pop simply because BvS did a terrible job portaying Superman and some fans may not be able to separate the bad taste left in their mouths by that with the fact did a very out of the box artistic interpretation with this variant. I agree on the vanellope dorbz ride thats going to be an xmas gift for the gf.

Mostly exclusives since Freddy's and Conans seem a little over my budget.

[TheSecondKira]

I'm happy over just the first two waves, this is so EXCITING!
I can't get a solid idea of everything I want until I see if/what Doctor Who, Game of Thrones or more Animation/Movies will be announced.

[Warren8525]

Mixed emotions again with Wave 2 announcement. Nothing must have - so should I be happy that I don't have to deal with Funko lines or sad that there aren't must have items for me?

Suspicious haha. These are just the first two waves. In my experience, this is the calm before the storm.

[partner-in-crime]

There was one in the 1 st wave and 2 in the second wave that I want, I'm getting scared about this pattern.

[MarvelPopFan75]

It is like this every year, people complain after the first few reveal but after everything is out there most people like at least one thing. We should be happy that Funko has such an incredibly diverse lineup to pull from. If they didn't the people buying would complain that there was just too much to buy. Just because something doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean that other people don't like it, so let's keep it classy folks. You may not want a particular item but at least respect the hard work and skill that went into making them.

[thejosh2010]

Funko Original Characters Bone Daddy or El Diablo re-introduced in another line =

Cereal Monster Dorbz =

Whoop whoop

[skillawashere]

Luckily for my wallet, nothing has popped (yay puns!) my interest up but knowing Funko, they will find a way to take my money.

[wardengorri]

Even though False God Supes should've been in the statue pose, I'm more than happy that the payoff is it being a Summer Convention Exclusive. That Blue Glow Duck Dodgers though is too sick no to get. May luck be at mine side tis Online SDCC.

[Ske7ch]

So far the Conans will take all my money, the Duck Dodgers are cool but not cool enough for me to kill people over , everything else so far I'll pass.

[Battastic]

Glad the Powerpuff Girls are only first to market, so getting them later is an easy call. The Duck Dodgers & Peter Potamus being limited breaks my heart a little as I know I won't be able to land the 750pc run.
So far the Dorbz are ruling my purchasing decisions

That's fine, everyone else can pass. More for me muahahahaha

[Mos_Eisley]

Eagerly awaiting the booth procedures more than anything else!

[slimpicks]

im loving the variety Funko is bringing after wave 2! cant wait for the rest of the reveals!

This is a mindset I can get behind!

[treswright]

People always say "oh I don't need any of these" during the announcements. But then when the con happens and these start hitting stores, they are right here with everyone else posting about all of their SDCC scores Hey I've done it myself, thought I didn't need some of them but then there I am staring at them in the store- hard to see that SDCC sticker and walk away... Plus some of them just don't look great in glams. I remember being totally unimpressed with unmasked Twisty, really didn't like it at all. But when I saw it in the store, wow! Very cool piece and I had to have it. Never say never

[TheNeck]

Eagerly awaiting the booth procedures more than anything else!

me too, im curious if they are doing it in the sails pavilion this year.

[Jezter]

My only concern is that I will have enough money for the ones I really one and that the ones I really want are in stores.
I am horrible at getting things online when there is a rush, so the stores are the way to go. I can't realistically save money and put it aside because life gets in the way, so hopefully things pan out and I have some cash when the time comes. Only two waves in, and only want one or two items, so I know the next 6 waves will hit me!

[emk194]

I think I'm actually more excited about the fact that the Powerpuff Girls are just first-to-market at SDCC, and then eventually will be commons. Means there's nothing (so far) that I absolutely must have. This is good.

The variety is awesome, though!!! Some fun pieces.

[Zae05]

Is wave 3 getting announced tomorrow ?

[Valde]

Is wave 3 getting announced tomorrow ?

Friday I think they said.

[a99kitten]

I will be in search of both Duck Dodgers until they are mine!!! They area MUST HAVE and will go with my Marvin the Martian tattoo

[cerealkiller]

the Duck Dodgers are amazing! love the PPG. False God and Goblin look great too. Liking what I see!!

[toro423]

Oh my God the Duck Dodgers mold is great. And they glow! Must haves for sure.

That moment when you realize your favorite exclusives are wanted by everybody else too I better start working nights

[Geniusrecluse8]

Nothing for me this round. And I, for one, am perfectly fine with that.

Bring on tomorrow!

[poppetmaster]

I was OK with round 1...few that I wanted that weren't numbered. Then wave 2...of course what I want is numbered. I will be joining many of you in the ebay battle for both Duck Dodgers POPs.

At this point, with so many jumping on, it's not battle. It's war....

[Jezter]

I'm a little confused, but is False God Superman going to be in stores, or limited and only at the con and online?
I'm seeing conflicting info, does anyone know for sure?

[emcee]

Yes. And Conans. Don't forget Conans.

Did I miss some announcement?

[angrykoalagear]

Love the Duck Dodgers!

[grandpa_stern]

I think people are assuming Conan will get his own Pops! again this year.

I believe that its a "Summer Exclusive." In the past, this means that it might be released at places like Hot Topic or on Gemini. I don't think we have definitive confirmation yet, though.

[Mos_Eisley]

When did we first see Conans last year?

That works for me. I'll be taking a day off if possible so I can go to stores,
Thanks!
