Oh Man ... those Disney pops today were amazing! I need all of them. Kind of wish Mr. Toad was a Pop Ride instead of Dorbz, but we buy the Dorbz Ridez anyhow. So here's my current list of musts for NYCC so far ...

DC:
Superman #1
Batman Black Chrome
Batman 8-Bit (Maybe)

Star Wars:
K-2SO
Saw Gerrera
Jyn Disguise with Helmet
White Death Star Droid
Dengar
Boba Fett with Slave 1

TV:
Sleestak
Enik

Disney:
Swimsuit Scrooge McDuck
Vincent
Maximillian
Halloween Goofy
Halloween Donald
Orange Bird
Abominable Snowman
Mr. Toad Dorbz Ridez
Mini Hikari Mickey Mouse
I'm Greg. My son is "RSVHockeyDude". We collect Funko products together.
Pop! Count = 3133
Pop! Pez Count = 197
Funko Soda (My New Favorite): 762 different Sodas including Intl Versions
Other Funko Products (Hikari, Vynl, Wobblers, etc) = 87
Proto Count = 14 Pop (Mostly NHL; a little of Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Disney, The Simpsons); 4 Soda (NYCC Freddy)

I wouldn't really consider The Black Hole obscure. It was rather infamous at the time for being Disney's bad attempt to capitalize on Star Wars. More people knew of it than had actually seen it. Making fun of it was the closest thing you had to a meme in the early 80s.

Every time I see it brought up the most common response is "I've never heard of it". So yes, to me that qualifies as obscure.


I can link you to several hours of "Do Kids/Teens Know" React videos that prove that is a poor criterion for defining obscurity. lol

While I would normally agree with you on that not being enough to qualify, I've had enough experience with this particular film (with people of various ages) to know that in this case it qualifies.

Perhaps there's an age difference on this? As a 41-year-old, I remember well watching this movie repeatedly on TV (probably on the ABC Saturday night movies or Disney family nights on the weekend - Sunday, I think) because VHS was still new when I was a young'un. I loved this movie. My husband, 46, did too. I wouldn't say it's much more obscure than Mr. Toad, the Abonimable Snowman or the Orange bird thing.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I think it's more a generational thing than a matter of it being obscure. I've never actually seen the movie, but I know vaguely about those robot characters and the basic story.

The Disney wave looks good, but has nothing for me. Safe two days in a row. :)

I'll repeat the sentiments of most that Scrooge McDuck is the best of the bunch. I have no interest in buying it, but it's still one of the better exclusives revealed so far. I've never heard of The Black Hole. I was wondering if it was possibly something coming out in the future that I had somehow missed hearing about. I'm 29, so there's been a decent number of movies and TV shows from the 70s and 80s that Funko has made Pops for that I've never been exposed to. It's fun to learn about stuff like this that is before my time.

I was doing so well not wanting anything....and then the Disney list came out.
I MUST have that Scrooge!!!
The two Kingdom Hearts POPs as well.
Three is not bad just hoping I can find those at stores around here.

I was getting by just fine until the Disney wave:
Black Chrome & 8-bit Batman
Eleven
And then pretty much every single Item on the Disney wave!

I have to admit I glanced at Vincent and thought he was familiar, but then when I saw Max, my childhoood memories came back..... and I appreciate that. I'll be buying both and they're way up on my priorities list just because of the memories. Thanks so much, Funko!

Those are the exact three that are currently on my Want List, too =D> I have an inkling they won't be too terribly hard to get a hold of. HT, more than likely.

And 3 out of 33 isn't too bad, but considering how the quality (and quantity!) of these exclusives seem to be getting better and better with each wave, my wallet is growing nervous.

It's probably an age thing. I know with me, being one year shy of 40, I remember the flick fondly from my childhood through tv showings. I also had the Read-Along book and cassette tape(when you here this sound, turn the page), and at least three or four copies across vhs and dvd.

So good news looks like the waves so far are mostly all shared and only a few limited so far, none of which I really want. YAY

If you were a school age kid in the 80's you knew the Black Hole, the merch was all over, lunch boxes and the like...far from obscure & yep, age plays into heavy. What I want to know is who's the Orange Bird? ;-) lol

I loved the Disney wave and I need that Scrooge...love it! :D

Great minds think alike! lol
I was thinking the same thing but hoping GS would get them instead. Just closer to my work and easier to jump in and out.

So far it's just GOT, CHrome Batman and 8bit bats. Scrooge and Halloween Goofy and Donald are cool but i can do without. Everything else is buns.

Figure there's still a Marvel wave, Cartoon and Miscellaneous.

I'm hoping that Statue of Liberty Freddy isn't NYCC but if it is it's shared w/Funko Shop.

Same here. 80's TV and movies are my wheelhouse and I have zero recollection of the Black Hole.

If your age in your profile is correct, it's not your demographic. The Black Hole was the early 80s.

I have The Black Hole on VHS somewhere, and assuming these are shared I will get both without a doubt, and hope for a few more in the wave as regular releases later, I mean we need B.O.B. too! :D

Well I went to school for half of the 80s, so I don't see how that's not "school age" but thank you for your very helpful post :D

I was already an adult but yeah, I remember that merch was EVERYWHERE!!!! Ahhh lunch boxes, remember those? When I was a kid you didn't dare drop your lunchbox or your glass thermos liner would bust into a thousand pieces and if you drank out of it without knowing, you'd be drooling blood the rest of the day :eek:

I'm 43 and have no memory of The Black Hole.

The film came out in 1979...I was in grade school from 82-90 and distinctly remember kids coming in with the lunch boxes, book bags and folders because it looked like a Star Wars knockoff. It wasn't a huge success but it was Disney and obviously some remember it and some don't. Plenty of pops of stuff I've never heard of...

It wasn't a huge success but it was Disney and obviously some remember it and some don't. Plenty of pops of stuff I've never heard of...

If the film came out in 1979 then that is when I would have been Pre-K/Kindergarten. I think it is because I wasn't into Star Wars until around 1982 so I must have not noticed the Black Hole Stuff.

As far as Orange Bird, seems you have to be a visitor to Disney World to understand what that is about.

I was already an adult but yeah, I remember that merch was EVERYWHERE!!!! Ahhh lunch boxes, remember those? When I was a kid you didn't dare drop your lunchbox or your glass thermos liner would bust into a thousand pieces and if you drank out of it without knowing, you'd be drooling blood the rest of the day :eek:

Yes sir I definitely remember them...the big metal bad boys that got banned from my school after some kid clocked another one in the back of the head with one and hurt him pretty badly...I can remember specific ones for stuff that I'm not sure should have even had lunch boxes...everything from Welcome Back Kotter to The Fall Guy :roflmao:

And thank you for confirming what I knew as well...the merchandise from the Black Hole was all over. It just wasn't a hugely popular film...and I love google for this:

Great, now that there are two(2) new Pop's that I want. I found out that they are Toy Tokyo Exclusives, so I have a feeling that I won't be getting them. Vincent and Maximilian
