I love the idea of picking up the first in the line. As to how many others I get? Well, I guess that depends on what they are and how this looks in person. A lot of potential for this line though!

My thoughts exactly! I like the nostalgia factor that a Nintendo line would bring.

So much potential, that could this be the bridge to bring in Nintendo to the POP side?

not interested in the line unless they had a nintendo license (video game that were in 8 bit) or minecraft. right now the only one that could work like this would be paceman.

I'll have to see more characters since I'm not a huge Batman guy, but pretty sure I'd get my favorite characters like Superman, Wolverine, Ghost Rider and others.

I wonder what Brian and the design team wanted to accomplish with this, most variants serve a purpose you know (Chrome, Mettalic, Bloddy, Black and White, etc.) but when it comes down to it, Batman has no business being 8-bit unless it is tied in with the Batman Lego movie

I've lived through video games from the very beginning and have always loved them. But I didn't like 8 bit graphics even when that's all we had lol Was happy to see them in the rearview mirror. Do not feel any nostalgia for them at all. But no biggie, I can't afford the time or space to buy EVERYTHING Funko makes anyway!

Not really a fan to be honest. I'll wait to hold judgement until I see it in person, but this is likely a line I can pass on. My wallet is happy.

The problem with this Pop! is that it's not uniform with other Pop! characters. It will look out of place in many collections, especially out of box collections. The 8-bit design would have looked better on a Mario Pop!, (as others have suggested) but as Funko doesn't have the license thid obviously can't be done. I just don't think Batman was the correct character to test this design on...

Hmm, maybe they'll be better in person. This look is not getting me just yet but I'll take a look up close and personal, to make a fair assessment. "What do you think of me. Make an assessment." - Old Gregg

It's that darn Batman so I don't like it, but it sort of looks like a leggo or something. I'm not sure, even if it wasn't Batman I don't think I'd be on board for this. Maybe if it was a Mario, or Luigi, a final fantasy character or something i might be more interested.
Life is full of questions isn't it? Though, naturally I prefer to think of them as Riddles.
