Which Pops would you like to see come out of the Vault?

Postby Fnkyeahryry » Thu Jun 11, 2015 1:22 pm

For me, it would be Genie & Belle! Are Cruella and Ursula are vaulted? I don't see them under the Vault list. Trying to find them is a pain unless I do eBay. :-/

What about you guys? I'm so excited to see figures come out of the vault! It gives us all chance to get ones we may have missed!! :-)

I think when they did the original Disney Classic run there was obviously a much smaller amount of collectors vs today. I think they should (probably already are) reconsider releasing the older Disney classics especially when Disneyland starts to sell Pops as there will be a bigger influx of new collectors that are Disney fans

The Riddler, Two-Face, and Penguin would be my first choices.

I'd also like to get Obi-Wan Kenobi (I think that one's coming back out though, right?)

Wouldn't mind Hawkman, Green Arrow, and Martian Manhunter to go with my Justice League, since I'm a DC nut, but I could live without them.

None, I would like them to let the old pieces keep their integrity. I have no problem with them creating new pieces however (different poses, colors, etc) for these figures.

100% with you. I got into these Pops because of the DC ones, and there are a ton that aren't available to buy.

I'd also love to see some of the classic Disney characters back in stock. Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Donald Duck, Ursula, Sorceror Mickey, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Belle.

People would buy these things up so there's really no reason for Funko not to unvault them soon. The collectors who are interested in profiting off of the vaulted ones should have sold theirs already

I don't collect for financial reasons and I couldn't give a crap less if my stuff is valuable or not, so I've always been on the side of release stuff so more people can have it, especially those that came to the dance late.

But I would honestly rather have a new Riddler sculpt than to rerelease the original one. I'm a Batman guy and the Riddler is one of my favorite comic villains, so he's my Grail POP, but the original is kinda meh. I'd rather have a new sculpt with the more current look (trench coat, suit and tie).

They could do a better Two-Face too, to be honest.

Belle. I need Belle.

I wouldnt mind the old DC characters but I think I would like them better in new poses, I remember a time when I would see them on shelves before I started collecting and I passed on them for a reason. Buuuuut if Green Arrow, Hawkman, or MM get a release I wouldn't pass them up again!!

I think if they do release more the stamp on them should be different to further differentiate them from the originals.

Heat & Snow Miser are my first two choices. My brother is also a huge Hobbit/LOTR fan and I think they should unvault Bilbo, Gandalf with Hat, and Gollum and then add them to the Book line instead, while also adding Frodo, Sam and Saruman (RIP Christopher Lee). Or even make it into its own line.

Other ones I'd be happy to see:
Penguin
Riddler
Two-Face
Peter Pan
Incredibles
Donald Duck
Goofy
Sorcerer Mickey
Genie
Raj
Santa Claus

It takes some fun out of grains or hunting rare Pops when I can just order them all for $10 or get the Hot Topic. I don't own many of the ones named above so there's still a lot of fun looking for them. I know my sentiment isn't shared by a lot of newer collectors since they never had the chance to buy said figures at retail.

I agree with this and I don't own a lot of the more expensive Vaulted Pops either. Got into the game a bit late.

I see it from your side a little bit as well. But the way I look at it, while they unvault some, others get vaulted. Then you have exclusives. There are always gonna be Pops that are hard to find. I just think basic characters like Riddler, Penguin, and Two-Face (and with Disney - Donald Duck, Mad Hatter, etc) should eventually be available again.

Plus, they would sell. And it would also keep fans interested for longer if Funko announced "hey next January/February, prepare for some DC and Disney unvaultings"

I get the feeling people who say they don't want to see a Pop come out of the vault, are the same people who are afraid the value will be diminished and can't say they own a rare Pop.

Or the people who bought a rare retired piece for a lot of money. And I can't really blame them. But I've bought some for a fairly hefty price and I still don't care if they get unvaulted. In fact, I hope they do. It was something I assumed might very well happen but I wanted the Pop now so I paid extra.

I totally agree with you Jason! There's the controversy if Funko POP!s are toys or Collectibles. For me they're the second!

ooooh 'the vault'

like these things have been around for 20+ years and the next generation is now able to get their hands on them

please

POPs are what, four years old? not much interest collected while vaulted.

don't kid yourself, this isn't so new collectors can get their hands on these pieces, just another way for them to get their hands in your pockets

fine, I want the Obi Wan, so our pockets

it all feels pretty shady tho

Hi Pup,

I think that that could be in some or many cases, but defenetly not all of the cases. For me it's like if as a kid you had your Parents giving you presents (in this case toys/collectibles), Would it be as excitement Christmas presents after that? In my case it's not just about the money, I collect them because I love them; but if after a lot of time and effort I get a piece like Greedo and later on it gets Unvaulted that takes a lot of fun away from collecting, then again, that's just my point of view.

I really don't care about the value of the Pops I have, they are all $10 pieces of plastic when it comes down to it. Those who choose to buy above retail should take the unvaulting as a warning.

They should heed the warning then. If one is not prepared to witness the piece they paid $100 for reappear for $10, they should not be playing. For those that want to "hunt" there are exclusives and chases, etc. For those that want the "Chistmas morning" experience there is loot crate.

You're right, but if there are not some pieces hard to find IMO it looses a little bit of spark! It's not about the money. There's a theory and in part I know it's true in a lot of cases that there were non popular POP!s that were vaulted or discontinued because of that and later on a lot of people wanted them because thay became hard to find; but for example Bane is a popular character that went out when Batman's Comic/Movies POP!s had a lot of interest by Buyer and he turned hard to find... In this case I don't believe they stopped producing him because of his low demand... It's part of the game... But if later on you start selling him again some or a lot of people might start like "meh... By now he's hard to find but I'll find him a couple of months from now and I'll let him pass by now". That IMO is not that nice, but then again... it's just me and Funko isn't going to base their strategies based on what I think! LOL

I love Funko, don't believe I'm a Hatter at all!

Yeah, you're more than right, they will keep on selling pretty fine and for a long time; I mean in the big picture I believe it might be like I was saying.
