Marvel POP! Updates Thread 2018 (Updated July 20th)

anyone else having problems getting X-23 to stand up on her own? Honestly, I can't believe they didn't include a plastic stand.

It's super annoying! I sat with EE on Sunday morning and we went through 4 of them and none of them were able to stand!

Glad spidey with headphones not an exclusive

Just unboxed mine. It seems to stand fine, I think the trick is to have the head tilt forwards so she's on her toes.

hmm, I'll have to play around with her head some more. On mine, her head seems to be tilting forward too much and she ends up falling forward.

What gets me is this - if they insist on giving the female characters such tiny bodies, then there's got to be some sort of design testing to insure that a. the figure can stand up on its own (and if not, include a stand with pegs for both feet, not just one) and b. the body can physically support the weight of the head without deforming (looking at you Emma Frost POP).

My Jessica Jones stands at a 45 degree angle on her stand.

I had that issue too, ended up exchanging her for another one that had her head tilting more backwards. Her knee is like jello.

I've had this happen on some Pops like this so I just took small strips of thick paper and folded it between the foot and the stand. It pushes the Pop up a little and kind of keeps them for doing the weird lean. Eventually I can take the paper out and they'll be alright.

I think a chrome Gray Hulk as a chase would be cool. You maybe a chrome 3 pack with Red, Green and Gray Hulk would be perfect SDCC 2018.

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if it works.

I hope it does! Index cards work pretty okay for it if you fold the strips a couple of times and press down.

There are going to be some Marvel vs Capcom Pops. I'm assuming these are going to be part of the video game line. I'm curious if they will have new molds for the Marvel side or just use existing Pops. There are also going to be 2 packs, but it's not known who is being paired with who.

Credit for this discovery goes to this thread.

I hope they are in battle poses. That would be really cool.

I hope both pops are packaged facing each other and in battle poses akin to the Daredevil/Bullseye set.

[ImranC23]

I'm getting so excited thinking about Nomad and Iron Spider Pops for infinity war.

[turgsaysno]

Anyone know if they'd make a comic-based Black Bolt any time soon? I think his uni is awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to that Deadpool Venom Pop (pre-order is up). Anyone know how exclusive Pop in a Box is with their stuff? I am not too familiar with their releases or if there have been any others for that matter.

There were some made early this year https://funko.com/blogs/news/pxmarveljan2017

This is PIAB's first exclusive, and they still have pre orders up apparently. Not sure how it will go, from what I know I don't think it will be smooth.

Oh that's right I remember that. It was a nightmare trying to get my shop to secure any Funko stuff for me in the past, so I didn't pursue it. They're cheap on eBay so I might just scoop them up. Thanks for the link!

[swaynomics930]

Coming soon. This is a common

This is awezome!@!

They're also available at FYE if you have one in your area.

The Medusa Pop has a stand that attaches in her back since her hair is so heavy! I'm glad they did something about that

I always try to display my pops without the stands, guess this one is a must

I'm also watching the periscope! Inhumans pops dated for 8/15.

It looks like you can't really see this one, since it's tucked beneath her hair. But I was worried. She still bobbles, and yeah! I'm glad we've got a better date for her and the others to show up. Now I need to grab a Black Bolt Pop.

[HowardTheDuck]

I didn't know the Inhumans had a street date. I got my Lockjaw this morning from Radar.

[turgsaysno]

I can't wait to grab a Medusa. I really hadn't had much of an appreciation for the Inhumans until I binge read the entire series from start to Present and it's awesome. Really good story and the character development made you appreciate the drama a lot more than some other books.

[skillawashere]

Too many really good marvel pops coming out soon

[ChrisPop214]

Sorry if it's been mentioned already but does anyone know when in August the Thor 3 pops will hit stores?

[emcee]

HT Nerdette said Thor pops got pushed from 9/1 to 8/1, but I haven't seen any reports of anyone finding it yet anywhere.

I have not watched the video, but she must of had those dates mixed up. Early on I always saw August as the release month, but recently I've seen 9/1 listed everywhere, so it appears that it has been pushed back a month.

Sometimes exclusives can be released separate from the line, even if they are revealed at the same time. I remember that when the comic line with Spider-Gwen and Captain Marvel was released, Hot Topic got their exclusive unhooded Gwen in weeks before the commons began showing up.

That does happen a lot, but I don't believe that is allowed to happen with street dated lines. I don't understand why Disney would want the Thor Pops released the same day as the Star Wars Pops. As big as Thor is, it's gonna get overshadowed big time. Should of stuck with August. Sadly it's not Funko's call. They probably wanted August, and Disney said no.

Or maybe we are all wrong and it really did get moved up in order to avoid competition with the Star Wars stuff.

I don't understand why Disney would pit it's largest franchise against one of the branches of the Marvel universe. Makes sense that they'd stagger release dates, just considering how they do standard toy launches. We need a HT insider to clear this up. Someone leak something. Soon.

[HowardTheDuck]

I hope that they do drop on the same day. While everybody else is going berserk for episode 8 pops, I will quietly snatch up all the Thor stuff. (And then go back for SW stuff weeks later )

[HaloHawk87]

I'll be buying both the same day, assuming they do indeed come out the same day. I don't have the patience to wait.

RIP my wallet.

[emcee]

Star what?

[Mikey13Loco]

So nobody is talking about the new Collector Corps Funko? The preview has dropped already...

There's a thread on it in the Powered by Funko section

[HowardTheDuck]

OOB pics posted on Reddit. Anybody know where they originated though???

[HowardTheDuck]

Never mind. I figured it out. Apparently they were on FPI but are already gone. I'm very upset I wasn't aware of this.
