POP! Monsters (Funko Original Line)

[chaostryder]

This will be interesting, I wasn't around during the original Funko characters so im glad to be around to see what comes out of this new line

I can't wait. Sorta reminds me of Chris Ryniak's artwork

Yup! I had just posted about the looking like the Thimblestumps!

After seeing the little teaser I'm very intrigued. I love monsters and I love cuteness. These should be right up my alley.

For those who missed on the ECCC panel, here is what we know (paraphrasing):
Ben Butcher - POP! Monsters is a new IP for Funko of original characters that will be available at the Funko Shop (given the timer on this one, sure seems like it will be next week's item for the shop)
Wilky - New interest in old spastic plastic lines and other Funko oldies.
Reis - a new Monster world; they live together in an eco system that we will experience through different styles and seasons; Tapping into nature and bizarre animal that do not exist

I have been looking forward to this line since it was first mentioned. But the thought of them being Funko Shop exclusives makes me sad. I really hope they make them available to international customers. I don't mind paying eBay prices for the occasional Funko Shop exclusive, because it's only very rarely that one interests me - but to have a whole line that I want...

[TriFeckTa]

These look interesting, i might just get into it.

Be prepared to pay even more since we'll likely get one for the store opening in August, too. Funko shop items do suck for international collectors. I get that in some instances there are licensing issues because they might not have the license in the specific geographical location but that shouldn't be a problem for their own IP. Only issue then is logistics of shipping and cost (which his not a small issue but can be dealt with).

is that confirmed?

No, thus the "likely" language. But seems like an obvious and easy choice by them. That and some Freddys. It's Funko's HQ Store opening so they'll want to celebrate all things Funko and likely use it as an opportunity to promote their new line and build some hype.

[sushiguru]

True.... you got a great point

[Jezter]

You know, regardless if I buy them, or if they are too cutesy for me, I feel pretty happy to be a part of the Funko community when a new line of Funko original characters is coming out. If Funko is still madly popular 10-15-20 years down the road and I still collect, I'll be very happy to say that I was around when something new was created. That alone might be the driving point for me to collect the line, but man...I collect so many lines now...

Yer killin' me Funko. :P

[funkofinderz]

I'm very interested to see how Funko reveals some of the back stories on these characters. This Tumblebee character is pretty stinkin cute and I'd love to see where it comes from and who all it's friends are

[bigant212]

hope this means some FLOCKED monsters for us!! im excited to see whats in store

[treswright]

I can't wait. Sorta reminds me of Chris Ryniak's artwork

Yup! I had just posted about the looking like the Thimblestumps!

Never heard of them, just Googled it and wow, y'all are right, very strong resemblance! Those are pretty darned cute!

I don't want to know what my house would look like after 20 years of collecting Funko

I figure in 20 years I'll be divorced, living in a two bedroom apartment, and sleeping in the living room because both bedrooms will be Funko caves,

[funkystark]

It's putting me in the mind of Thimblestump Hollow vinyls (which I also collect)

I can totally see that, I love the Thimblestump series!

[leosalion]

Looks like he could be in Monsters Inc

[Gray]

I love anything having to do with monsters so this is just so cool to me. Love seeing funko using their creative freedoms to design different kinds of original characters, especially monsters. Lots and lots of room to come up with all kinds of unique and interesting designs.

[Arloe8]

Who can resist a cute monster? Wonder if they will only be in POP form though.

[allcutethings2]

whoa.. can anyone say flocked? this will be an interesting rabbit hole to go down once they drop and depending on how many drop

Yup, flocked would draw me in even more. This one's really cute, I kinda like the idea of cute unique monsters. Looking forward to see what others they've created.

[RoboFist]

This is very interesting. I was super stoked when these were first announced (like a lot of people, monsters and horror icons are what first got me into Pop collecting) and I love how excited and passionate the artists and designers seem to be about this line. I feel as if this first little monster is fairly tame, but I have no doubt Funko will pull out all the stops and start making more grotesque, old-school-looking monsters soon!

[Libertyroxx]

After listening to that interview with Brian I was wondering how long it would be until we started seeing new original Funko characters. Excited to see what they've come up with!

[mikechickenhead]

i cant tell you how excited i am for this.... i love monster stuff and when they are "pop" monsters.... well thats just about the best thing ever

[Tyr0ners]

hope this means some FLOCKED monsters for us!! im excited to see whats in store

That'd be amazing! I'd love to see some of these flocked as well

[CAHRULL]

So so excited for this. I've wanted more original characters since I started collecting years ago. Bring it on!

[lunarembrace]

I really, really want to be completionist for this line. I love them already. I just hope they aren't incredibly limited, and I don't have to sell an arm and a leg for some. I know I'll probably end up doing just that, but I can still dream. Looking forward to the reveal!

[cerealkiller]

always like new original pieces. the first one has a bit of Chris Ryniak art influence to it.

Totally cute! They do limited little resin versions too and have drops once a month or so on their website. One is coming this Saturday! Since I love Amanda Louise Spayd and Chris Ryniak stuff so much, I will probably be hooked on these Wetmores too!

[Imagery]

I'm excited for this line. Can't wait to see his friends. Love that Funko is launching another original line. I really hope it's flocked but I'm in either way.

[repair-manmanmanman]

I guess I completely missed the wetmore announcement and Tumblebee totally freaked me out today when waiting for the funko-shop item . It'll be interesting to see how mainstream this original IP will get compared to their old original characters given Funko's meteoric rise in popularity.

[Mister Piggy Wiggy]

I'd like to see an animated series based on this line.

[KarateKid]

I'm a Pop! fan so I'm always open to checking out anything but everything once, so I'll try it out and try to grab one but after that we'll see if it sparks my interest.

[valorandvellum]

I'm pretty fearful about this because I'm probably going to want the whole line. It will look so great next to my Legendary Creatures & Myths

[chaostryder]

I'd like to see an animated series based on this line.

Agreed, I think this line would have done really well if they started with a web-series first, drew you into the characters and then released the merchandising for it.

It is a slightly harder commitment for myself jumping for a character I have absolutely zero attachment to

[Chernabog]

Loving the monsters, honestly depending on how creative they are I'm going to want the whole line

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.

[SnackDaddy]

Looks cool, looking forward to seeing who design each monster! This line is gonna be awesome for funko fans

I really hope these are flocked. Will be getting the set for sure
