Hahahahahahaha I agree, I was scrolling through all the comments and wondering why no one posted a pic, maybe the picture doesn’t do the pop justice lol

It's hard to capture just how good it looks. When I look at it and then look at it through my phone there's no comparison. The camera (at least the one on my phone) doesn't pick up everything that our eyes can with this Pop!. This was the best I was able to do with my phone. I had to get just the right lighting for the holographic glitter to show up. It really is so much more impressive in person.

Good job with the picture there sir! You can make out the gold, the fade details on the claw and the hook smack right on top!

This pop is one of my favourites too. Preordered the set and was really looking forward to Te Fiti and Te Ka. But this guy blew me out of the water. So much detail on the mold and then great textured painting.

Wow. So many people who didn’t like the character or the song. I’m amazed. I thought it was awesome. The lyrics are so freaking clever and on point. I loved the song and the character. I’m also a fan of jermaine clement so I guess that helped. Really one of my favorite newer Disney songs. The pop is awesome. Mine is en route right now. Really want the sdcc one too. They killed it with that one. Wouldn’t mind hot topic making a bedazzled one as well. I’m just surprised that there are so many who don’t have the love for this dude.

I thought this was gonna be an underrated pop because when it was announced nobody really talked about wanting it, but seems to be starting to get the respect it deserves. It's a fantastic piece.

I wish Funko put this much detail in more of their pop molds, but i guess it must be expensive so they can only do it every once in a while...

I just got my Te Ka yesterday, and I'm actually really disappointed with her. The lava is not at all detailed or very visible, as it is in the illustration. :-/
I actually think I will probably return her, perhaps for Te Fiti instead.

I haven't seen him in person yet, but the glam ("Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam...") looks terrific. Funko knocked it out of the park with him, and the SDCC Exclusive version looks just as terrific! The Mini has become one of my favorites, too!
