I don’t have many glowy Pop!s, but I like how the kingdom hearts Tron Pops look.

I put my gitd pops in a bat case too. Currently I'm looking for a bigger case because a ringwraith,a ballrog, and a all
might can't fit in there.

Anyone removed paint from Pops before? I tried Isopropynol and Paint Thinner but neither had an effect.


Yeah neither of those will touch the paint Funko uses. Acetone works better, but man it would be a huge job stripping Balrog with all its nooks and crannies. I stripped a Pop head once for a repaint, even doing just a head took a lot of elbow grease.

I forget who here has the glow proto, if I remember I should bug them for a light-out pic but it looks like it would be pretty amazing as the whole thing (except the wings) is molded in glow vinyl!

The glow on the Cupcake chase is actually really nice. I had no idea it glowed until I had had it for like 3 weeks lol. And it reacts REALLY well with UV/blacklight
Yes... we're still here! Hoping Fundays 2024 will be my first! :bounce:

Got the Toys R Us Predator, and while he's very UV reactive, only the green blood splatter actually glows. (the Pop is custom)

OK OK it's not really upcoming, but man I wish they would make it! I took a Ghost Rider Pop Ride (glow version) and cut it up, adapted the flames to the F&F Charger Pop Ride and stuck the rider in to replace Dom. I also installed LEDs in everything to light it up, I love how it turned out! Funko needs to make it! And make it gloooowwwwwww :-D

Cool idea.
They reused the Charger from Fast & Furious Dom Pop Ride.
NEEDS MORE FLAME!

Edit: I would have believed it if it was real. They did that with Darryl's Chopper -> Logan. ;-)

Luckily the Charger in F&F and in Agents of Shield is the exact same model so it made for an easy swap. And both have similar blowers and injector scoops!

Edit: I would have believed it if it was real. They did that with Darryl's Chopper -> Logan. ;-)


Thank you, I was going for something that looked like genuine Funko :) Well, except all the lights! Yeah Logan's Chopper is the same mold with some minor changes (removed the saddlebags and added a wrap on the back). The same mold was used for the Ghost Rider bike too.

The regular ones are actually very similar but easier to make glow IMO. My boy has both regs and the chase Sark. We have a heck of a time getting the chase Sark to glow but the reg glows super easy.
