Pop! 8-bit

[Popspedia]

Hmm yea not a fan.

[rowden]

Probably won't last.

I can't see myself getting behind this either. Sorry Funko.

[Jade-Rex]

I think it's funny they use Batman to test new ideas. He's they're guinea pig. (There's a new variant idea! )

As someone said on the first page, I think 8-bit doesn't translate well to 3D. Maybe if it were smaller.
I'm not a Batman collector so I won't be buying this anyway but it could be cooler in person. I like to see my pops irl to really judge them.

[Valde]

I guess there will be more for me, I was excited for these when they announced them at Fundays.

[Battastic]

I only own one item in the 8-bit style. I like the aesthetic of it to a point but not enough to collect an entire line of it.
I guess my biggest issue is that not everything looks good in this style. The characters that have a reason to look this way appeal more to me than just sticking any character in this style. Too many companies are doing this now and I do not really care much for it.
Now start getting some old school Nintendo characters like this....I may change my tune.

[TakeMeToTheRiot]

I can picture this being an item a lot of people pass on initially, then a year later are scrambling trying to buy one because they've become more popular. Maybe. Lol

[GeekyFinds]

I personally like and appreciate the idea of 8-bit figures. The future possibilities of this line are endless and I really can't wait to see where they take it. However, I really don't get all the hate on the web and social media over this 8-bit Batman. People saying its ugly or its a just a rip-off of another figure.

[Dogmatic]

To be a true 8-bit Batman, it should have been purple and blue.

[sromo006]

The more I look at the 8bit batman the less I want it. Funkos thinking, if this works we can 8Bit everything!!!

[groundhog7s]

I have to say I don't like the look of this. There's already an awesome 8-bit line out there in this scale that's doing great so far-Pixel Pals. They're doing classic 8-bit characters and other characters in that style/scale (Batman, SF, etc). and it just works the way they're doing it. As already stated, this is more Lego.

Obviously, I'm biased since I'm a designer on the Pixel Pals line.

[riceand1]

I like it too. A different look, but looks more of a nintendo toy.

[VoorheesRulez]

not a fan but you would think this has to open the door to video game versions of Jason and Freddy now. the only good thing I can see coming from these.

Batman totally is their guinea pig . I wonder what the count is on batman pops now...it's definitely the pop with the most variations by a longshot!

[throneofgames]

I think the 8 bit look could grow on a lot of us over time. I remember when I first saw Pops I thought they were ridiculous looking and said I'd never buy them. Then I saw them again a month later and thought they were kind of cool (especially the walking dead and GOT). Almost 5 years later and I've got over 1,000 of them .

[throneofgames]

Here's something else I was thiking about though - with amiibos they had an 8 bit mario, opposed to the regular mario that was made to look like the rest of the amiibo characters being released. I wonder what people thought of the 8 bit version when it was released and how well it did for Nintendo's sales. Hmmm...

[Bhofsted]

Im super excited for this line especially if they were to ever get nintendo on board, would be so broke .
Im sure we will see megamans and other video game ones soon.

[thequadsqueen]

I'm in for one if I can get my hands on it. They said it's going to be a whole line of them?

In that case, yeah, definitely video game ones needed, though I don't see them getting a Nintendo license ever, since Funko is a competitor to Nintendo's own figurine (amiibo) lines...

[Mister Piggy Wiggy]

I love the 8-bit part. But not so much the Batman.

[ryminsquest]

Probably won't last.

I can't see myself getting behind this either. Sorry Funko.

I know. I want to, but they just already do regular pops so well, especially with the newer scults and paint. It's just tough to top it!

[Kal-El-051]

I'm not sure what to think of these yet. I will hopefully pick this up in New York and be able to make a decision off seeing him in person. I do know I will get certain characters though.

[Soloontherocks]

I'll most likely pick it up to display in my classroom. One of the projects I do in my computer class is a pixel art assignment in Google Sheets. Should be a fun piece to keep on my desk.

Hmm yeah, not sure about the comparison. The Pixel Pals still look 2D even though I realize it's thick enough to stand up. This is a full 360 figure in that style.

I personally like Funko's 8-bit version since it looks less 'blocky' as other styling have been. This seems only 8-bit on the edges and corners, which helps for those that may not love the pixelated look to begin with. Just my 2 cents..

Yeah, I'm sure it just comes down to personal preference. I've been doing pixel art for a few years and have never liked the idea of recreating 2D designs in 3D. To me, it loses the aesthetics of what pixel art should be.

[S_E_R_G_I_O]

I think it looks weird but I still like it

[SCF]

I am a Batman collector, but I don't think this will find its way into my collection. Just not feeling it whatsoever. Maybe seeing it in person will change my kind, but as for now I'll spend my money on something else.

[Peachtree]

I will definitely have to pick up the Batman. I like the idea and I am interested to see how it looks in person. I always try to give one shot to each new Funko line and I have a feeling I am going to fall in love with this one.

[FunkoPhoenix]

Not sure how I feel about the 8-bit figures. Will definitely have to wait and see it in person.

Fair enough!!

[pop-inandout-9]

Throw a LE sticker on it and everyone is a fan !!!

[Mister Piggy Wiggy]

If Nintendo and Funko decide to team up, I can picture classic 8-bit Mario and Link Pops.

[sromo006]

The longer I have to look at this the less I like it. Thought it was cool when it first came out but now not a fan. I dont want 8bit pops, they should have a separate line for 8bit as another style. Its like a style on a style and its getting rough.

[Kingwolfdaddy]

I really like it, but seems like Mario would have been a better choice for the first one in the series.

[Popsaysyee]

This is going to be an interesting line. I'm curious what characters they will make as 8-bit. It would look weird if they made real life people in 8-bit Pops

[JsinLegacy]

I'm going to hold reservations until I see an actual shot of one and not just the glam. As of right now I'm just like.. ehhh... but that could all change once I see the final product.

[DMScurvy]

THIS is the series I line to see NES Jason, Freddy, and a whole bunch in.

[h3wi3]

THIS is the series I line to see NES Jason, Freddy, and a whole bunch in.

NES Jason would be sick.

[dcooperfl]

I am a huge DC Collector. I really do not like the look of this Batman. I'll probably get it because I have all of the rest of the Batman pops. I think this style would be more appropriate with the games line to start with. Mega man would be super cool.

You two have very good taste.

[Teresahbach]

Not sure if it's me but it reminds me of some blox but more edgy!

[Calle888]

i think its great. good job 8bit.
