Pop! 8-bit

Postby **mactds** » Wed Oct 18, 2017 1:05 pm

Freddy & Jason look quite good as 8-bit. I love TMNT, but they don't seem to catch me the same way.

The Freddy, Jason and Turtles look good, but I am not sure if I like the Alien...

I really hope we get Megaman some time in the future

OMG My Foot Soldiers are getting Turtles!!

Postby **Synseer83** » Wed Oct 18, 2017 1:44 pm

I'll probably get the regular and GS exclusive Jason and Freddie's.

And TMNT doesn't hit that nostalgia for people too? I guarantee more people remember playing the original TMNT for NES and the TMNT arcade game than people who played Friday the 13th. Sure both the horror ones look great, but saying TMNT doesn't fit the 8-bit mold is a little silly IMO.

But I definitely agree that they need to come out with some very specific ones and I love the list you put together. Sorry if I seemed defensive about the TMNT stuff for obvious reasons lol

Oh don't get me wrong, I think the Turtles molds are awesome and 100% fill that nostalgia! Turtles in Time was my jam, man lol

I even think that the multi-colored Foot Soldiers worked well because they were based on the different pallet swaps in the game. I just used the Freddy and Jason colorways as an example of what Funko should do more of to really push this line. Target specific colors and characters from specific moments in specific games, you know?

I think I'm going to go home and play Turtles in Time tonight lol

Yeah I definitely see what you mean with the specific moments aspect. Hopefully this is a good starting point like you said, but at the same time I hope they don't make too many or my Detolfs won't be able to handle all the weight! Shredder is the heaviest Pop I own by far and he's probably heavier than some 6" ones :eek:

speaking of 8-bit pops.....is there any reason why the footsoldiers are priced insanely high?

Postby **Valde** » Wed Oct 18, 2017 6:36 pm

I love the NES versions, gotta get those.

Postby **aschuler0603** » Thu Oct 19, 2017 12:52 pm

I don't love them, but I don't hate them. Some are cool looking but I'm not on board with these overall.

So I am not a big fan of most of these, but I love the turtle ones. I had to pre-order my favorite turtle.

Saw these and had to mod my snes classic to play the tmnt games...so much nostalgia

Postby **Hqsdfan619** » Fri Oct 20, 2017 6:09 pm

I like Batman but I'm not used to the look of the 8bit. I will probably get it for my son since he collects Batman pops. I do like the TMNT ones though. They look cool.

Postby **Grex54** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 7:16 am

The alien is a little odd looking, but I'm a huge alien fan so it's a no brainer that I'll get him.

Postby **bspears82** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 7:20 am

I think we need some Ghostbusters in 8 bit

Postby **Njtree_82** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 7:47 am

I think it just a set up for hopefully Mario is coming soon! Contra! Master Blaster with ride!!!

Postby **Gonzo206** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 12:44 pm

The Freddy and Jason ones look so awesome! The Gamestop colors are my favorite.

Postby **Jade-Rex** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 8:23 pm

If they can get Mario , these 8 bits will really take off!

I for one would love 8 bit Community pops to match a t-shirt I love. But that's even more unlikely than Mario probably.

Postby **imdustin6** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 8:47 pm

Ok, let my comic store know to order some of those aliens....all look pretty sweet....wonder how far out they are gonna expand on this 8-bit line

Postby **daveruby** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:14 pm

I love the way Batman looks!

Postby **Bushmaster51** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:41 pm

Still not sure how to feel about the 8-bit line. I did pick up the Batman one. I might pick up the Stranger Things 8 bit because my wife is into the Netflix show.

Postby **genotype** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:48 pm

Didn’t really like the look of these until I saw them in person. The 3D effect helps make them. Got Batman and will see how the turtles look in person before making a decision.

Postby **gotchaz** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 10:38 am

I'm sure there will be tons of 8-bit. I'm just upset we'll never see any nintendo ones, maybe Sega or Konami will be nice. Throw in an outrun car or altered beast.

Got Batman and Shredder and will most likely try for the Stranger Things exclusives but since they're at target, that will be impossible to do.

Nice dude!
I saw them the other day, they look awesome and fit perfectly into my turtles arcade nostalgia. I grabbed shredder but don’t think I’ll see the footsoldiers anytime for a reasonable price.

Have you seen the sdcc be a turtles set from 2016. Another cool turtle piece.

Yeah. I wasn't a fan of them until I saw Batman in person. I ended up getting him because he looks surprisingly cool. Now I'm going to get the horror ones for sure.

Postby **Popfreaak** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 1:55 pm

Love the Batman and TMNT ones, not really feeling the Stranger Thing ones. Id love to see different colored Batman pops in thr 8 bit as well.

Postby **Ellis** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:19 pm

its crazy just how much heavier the 8-bit line is compared to the regular pops, its like they are made out of lead!

Postby **jayncoke** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 3:05 pm

I'm loving the 8Bit line so far. Reminds me of the early days of Pop, too! Simple designs right now, but as they do more and get better, they will probably have more complicated designs in the future!

Really liking these Batgirls and I'm happy that the exclusive is Barnes and Noble because I can always find their exclusives.
