I think this is what kills the collectible factor for me. They did this with Deadpool, Batman and Wonder Woman. Just my 2 cents.

Other than flocked, which variations are you talking about?

Does anyone know if Moss Man (TRU) ever went up on their website?

I check everyday and have never seen it. I was lucky enough to snag one off EBay a couple weeks ago, and have never seen them since.

Thanks dude!!

Im in the East Coast and apparently it came and went. Make sure to pre-order the TrapJaw from FYE I believe

Postby **brant** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 11:18 pm

Has anyone been able to find the FYE preorder link for TrapJaw? Or is that in-store only?

I disagree. If they make the same molds then less and less people will collect. New molds keep people interested and keep the older collectors happy. When the same mold is released less and less people buy because they don't see a point in just acquiring the same thing over and over again. Sure it makes new collectors happy but it kills the secondary market which is important to new sales. People forget how the secondary market helps push a product.

I can see your point and I also still feel strongly about me as a collector only wanting a single mould. At the end of the day it's a business and Funko will do what they fell will keep the buyers happy and keep growing as a company. Secondary market will always push older product sales which helps drive new waves of product lines.

That's the downside to living on the east coast...we get everything last.

Try living in England, we get everything months later if at all.

MossMan was released at the HQ only. Several of them went up on Ebay. That’s where I got mine.

He wasn’t really a character, just a variant. I wouldn’t mind it, though!

A slime green He Man would be an AWESOME ECCC Pop!

Postby **JIrish780** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:03 am

Rumors are pointing to one of the few key female characters left who isn't part of the She-Ra family is being released in another line, possibly for ECCC. This could mean she's on the radar for a Pop release sometime this year. No complaints if so!

Postby **BillyLouis** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:53 am

It best be the Sorceress.

Postby **brant** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 1:26 pm

It looks like Sorceress is going to be part of a 2-pack Vynl with Beast Man for ECCC.

No, which is odd to me because when you use the dcpi or upc and search it doesn't even load the specific product. It just says out of stock, even in zips where he's already been released.

Someone said earlier in the thread that he was released at HQ only and there were some on eBay and that's where he got his. I find this a bit dubious since he's a toys r us exclusive. There WERE a few listings of him from American locations buy I'm assuming these were gotten from Australian listings and re-sold. I don't know when he'll be out but I'll be checking my local toys r us every day.

Postby **brant** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 5:27 pm

I should clarify my earlier post; yes, of course they will eventually be released at Toys R Us nationwide, but for some reason a handful of them were released at the HQ (what seems like months early?). Several of those made it onto Ebay... I'm pretty certain they are the same ones, because all of the sellers were out of Washington and close to Everett, specifically the one I bought. I don't think this has anything to do with any Australian listings. There were people confirming he was at the HQ, so I believe this is what happened.

I can also confirm this - I was up in the PNW for the holidays and popped into Funko HQ. I asked an employee about Moss Man and he said that they did have it but it sold out VERY quick.

Toys R Us is gonna get tired of me!

Postby **Indy Viper** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:18 pm

You guys don't need to check TRU every day, just call the store and ask them what days their trucks come in. It's usually the same time every week. Once you know what day they get shipments in, just show up on that day and ask a manager if they got them. They're usually pretty helpful there.
