Now that there's a Gwenpool Rock Candy, I wonder when will we see the eventual unmasked chase/variant?

They missed a great opportunity to do a comic style Ramona with subspace Scott and a bat instead of Large Hammer. That gets the titular character featured while keeping the focus on Ramona. Instead, we get a movie mashup. She never used the delivery skates or Large Hammer in the same scene. If N52 Harley is any indication, more than half of the Large Hammer handles will be warped. And it's not a very good pose. You could get away with that with a comic inspired figure because it's based on 2D. But as a movie figure, it just looks like she's waiting for the restroom.

Oh what could have been...

Dude, check out Mondo's Ramona statuette. It's exactly what you're talking about, and it looks glorious. Funko is going to stick strictly with the movie, and will probably never touch the comics. That being said, there ARE other companies that make figures out of the comics, but Funko isn't one of 'em.

I'm hoping RWBY gets the Rock Candy treatment!

Those would be awesome! Although they released blind boxes already, so I'm not sure if they would license with Funko...

We can always hope for the best. Unrelated, I saw there nice $10 RWBY non-Funko vinyls online! If I can get those AND Rock Candies, then I'd have a sweet setup. :cheers:

My current favorites are Mad Moxxi. Regular and Chase. Both look really cool.

When/if Jessica Rabbit comes out, she will instantly be my new favorite.

They sure do!

I wonder how Jessica Rabbit will look like as a Rock Candy?

I'm not familiar with the game Mad Moxxi is from, but she looks so cool so I got her anyway XD

Moxxi's from Borderlands.

Oh, my gosh, it's really happening! Alice Rock Candy! :O

Look!

I love the Alice Rock Candy — that's a definite must to go with our ever-growing Alice in Wonderland Funko collection. I also really like Elastigirl, but not sure if that's a must-have yet (especially since they didn't use her superhero name).

Postby **Toralei** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 3:37 pm

Alice has the same overly-large eyes as Moana, which is why I never picked Moana up. There's really no need to distort the younger character's eyes that much.

Mrs. Incredible is good, and the packaging style is great. I'll let the name slide because it would be so easy to make an Elastigirl costume repaint and put Elastigirl on that package.

I saw the chase version of Mad Moxxi at a store near TCU in Fort Worth. I'm not interested in it, but if you want it, PM me for deets.

Btw, Target does actually want to hang the Rock Candies.

So do I! I have an classic Alice Pop and Dorbz. A Rock Candy would complete the triple crown! As for Mrs. Incredible, I'll pass on her. I was never really into The Incredibles much.

I like Alice's design. It captures Alice's innocence perfectly. As for Mrs. Incredible, I'll pass. Now I'm waiting for Elsa, Anna, and other Princesses. :cheers:

Ooh, a Mad Moxxi chase!? :O

I knew it was Target being, well, Target. Note to self: don't buy Rock Candies from Target.

I'm surprised there is no DC RC at SDCC this year, considering they got two last year. Probably for the best. Saves me money. If they had a WW or Harley Quinn, I would of likely needed to have it. Especially movie versions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had another wave though. But maybe because they had some last year they will do other franchises first.

Funko may surprise us yet!

They need to rush-manufacture Rock Candies based on the WW movie:

Hippolyta
Antiope
Menalippe
Director Patty Jenkins holding a director's bullhorn

As unlikely as it may be, I'd love to see well known cosplayers get the Rock Candy treatment: Jessica Nigri, Amie Lynn, Yaya Han, and so forth. What can I say? I love them Chinese cartoons! :roflmao:

If Square Enix and Funko ever team up, I'd love to not only see the ladies of Final Fantasy make their debuts. But Aya Brea from Parasite Eve. Oh, my, she'd look absolutely gorgeous in her black dress from the first Parasite Eve. :cheers:

Now that a Kairi pop is in the books, perhaps she and some other Kingdom Hearts girls will get the Rock Candy treatment.

I hope they keep her ridiculously huge feet in the Rock Candy format lol

I saw that FYE will be getting Rock Candy Wilma and Betty. Hopefully they get the pop treatment as well. Need to finish off the Flintstone & Rubble family lol

Oh, YES!! I would definitely buy a Namine and Aqua Rock Candy to go along with Kairi.

Wait, Wilma and Betty are making their Rock Candy debut!? :eek:

Anyone heard of BABYMETAL? I'd love it if the girls of BABYMETAL got the Rock Candy treatment! After all, they already have Pops and a Pop tee, so why not?

Yes. I believe they will be revealed for SDCC per the posts I saw on IG regarding it.

I almost fell out of my chair with excitement. Elvira is my queen. I really can't wait for this... will probably get two just in case I have the chance to meet her again and get one signed.

It's a nice looking sculpt.

But once you know Cassandra Peterson is hiding a massive red bush down there, Elvira's sexual mystique fades away.
