Oh I know dude, that's why I said it. I pumped to see these come to life, not even 100% sure if I'll collect them myself but still super excited to see some originals coming back.

Sad day


didn't see all the call backs to Ryniak before I posted the same thing, so I guess it's pretty similar to those who know his work:)

as far as the Thimblestump Hollows pieces go, contact cardboard spaceship, they are good at replacing the broken ones. They've taken care of me in the past and are great guys. hope they help you out.


Pink ones were SDCC exclusives, cardboard spaceship doesnt have it, just the regular ones.

monster+cute= instant yes for me. $h!ttalkers will always be around, and usually end up being the flippers for these once they see how popular they become. Reminds me of all the crap talkers when Dorbz came out. then suddenly everyone "collects" dorbz.

I love original pieces. Funko can create backstories, profiles, etc for each character, which they cant do with existing licenses.
This part has me intrigued...

Very excited for this line. Hopefully this is a great opportunity for the artists to stretch their legs. A lot of them work on personal projects on their own time; I would love to see some of that personal touch come out with this new character set.

This sounds really interesting. I can't wait to see what Funko has in store for us here. Plus these look like they'd be pretty cool to mix in with other lines and displays. :cheers:

These look like they can pair up nicely with another vinyl line called thimblestump hollow. I have a few of those figures and would love to add more monsters/creatures around where they are displayed. Excited to see what comes of this.

I'm on a forum on facebool and they posted this news and the picture of the one monster and god it was so hilarious how many are just in it for the money. They were like " OMG ITS SOOOO CUTE!!!" Like shut up you don't even know what it looks like as a pop. But I'm excited to see what they do with the line

That's very cool! I had no idea that is the name of the street they are on. I was wondering how they came up with the name. Thanks for letting us know.

Oh wow, yeah. Liking that. Now I do kinda think creating Ludo from Labyrinth as a Pop was part of the inspiration of this line. Like they wanted to do more furry creatures with horns, etc.

Just a few more days :-) I wonder how this is going down, a blog announcement and a shop offering too? I'm hoping we get to see more than just the one Pop so we have an idea of what the whole line will be like. I really like the sneak peek, I hope the series is all along those lines.

Something I've been wondering is will we just have Wetmore Forest, or will there be other named areas for other types of creatures, like Colby Mountain and Forgotten Creek for some examples? (yes I looked at a map for these lol) We could get some snow creatures for Colby Mountain and that ram creature that we saw concept art of previously, and some creatures who prefer the water in Forgotten Creek. Maybe a lake instead so we could get some larger sea creatures, like Hoyt Lake. Just some ideas that came to mind.
