Such a great pop. This line really needs more somehow.

How about the Jetsons line? I fully thought this would be more in demand.

I need to add another entry on this list: American Horror Story Freakshow Pops!

Each of these sculpts is wildly unique are really conveys the character. I also appreciate how their aren't any "filler" pops in this line as it feels like each Pop was created due to their unique look. Overall, maybe one of the best Funko lines ever.

Team Fortress 2: the pops! captured the characters extremely well. They didn't seem to sell well, and went to clearance bins pretty quickly though. I'm still hoping to see the rest of the classes and blue variants even if they have to make them one at a time as Comic Con exclusives.

I never knew there were TF2 pops??

I never saw this one, that IS really awesome!

Diablo from Video Games are great pops!

I think the pee wee herman has gone unnoticed. I think it's a really cool looking pop. I bought it as soon as I saw it.

This was one of my favorite AHS and Ma Petite is my favorite from the line.

1) 100% agree with the clark kent. I really like the unique sculps. That hat makes it heavy.

2) Luna being a fan with the lion head. super unique.

3) 2018 Fundays purple freddy alien. maybe it is being noticed. but at the very least underappreciated. love freddys with a weird sculpt head. i display it with the freddy astronaut.

4) blue chrome batman. just kidding lol

The Resident Evil Pops. I love the production versions and I love the protos. The detail on them is awesome. And they are all such great likenesses of the character and monsters- they have the look but with that Pop "cuteness". Seems like they've gone largely unnoticed by Funko fans though.

Both the Clark Kent Pop and Dorbz are awesome. I’ve bought very very few DC things for my collection, and those two are both in there.

Postby **PotterLiu** » Fri Aug 31, 2018 5:58 pm

Dorbz are unappreciated too

Postby **professorratigan** » Fri Aug 31, 2018 8:12 pm

The two that come to mind for me are Mojo Jojo and, especially, HIM from the Powerpuff Girls line. These are two of the coolest Pops, and neither are "worth" much right now. I have a feeling, though, that they're going to skyrocket and turn into grails one day. Especially now that they're vaulted.

Others? The 2nd Wave of Batman: the Animated Series. Catwoman, Clayface, Scarecrow, Bane and Phantasm are all dope. For that matter, the Batman '66 line is also under-appreciated. The Riddler, Penguin and King Tut POPS are all amazing!

Here are my choices:
Spoiler: show
The Hulk and Bruce Banner First Appearence

These Pops not only have the perfect sculpt to capture the iconic first appearance of the characters, but also serve as a really unique 2-pack between a 6" and a standard size pop. Not only is the arguably the best Hulk pop, but it also gave us the first Comic Book Bruce Banner Pop, one that I thought would never be made. It seems to have been lost in a less than successful Collector Corp box. Overall a fantastic display piece that should be admired as one of Funko's Best.

Avengers Age of Ultron Line

This might be my favorite Pop line ever. Let me explain, while it's not necessarily my favorite movie it is my favorite interpretation of these characters. It's almost like these characters are in their prime with my favorite costumes for each of these characters. All of them are brightly colored and perfectly reflect the lighthearted tone of the marvel universe. Now in Pop form Funko did everything right, each of the characters have a perfect pop interpretation of their movie counterpart and a sculpt on all. I really enjoy how each character has a bright color to reflect them, Cap being blue, Iron Man as Red, and Thor with the brightest Yellow hair I've seen. Not only are the paint jobs bright and fun, funko went the extra mile to make each box have different coloring for each character. This is a level of detail I have yet to see replicated. The exclusives for this line didn't feel to repetitive, with the Metallic Vision actually being worth picking up. The Hulkbuster is honestly in my top 5 favorite pops and the new mold doesn't even come close to this classic. With the Civil War and Infinity War Lines, the Pops aren't as fun or colorful. Those entire lines have a darker tone which really doesn't help it stand out. While that may not be Funko's fault, what funko was able to do with Avengers 2 was actually incredible.

Totally agree on that MCC Hulkbuster!! Still one of my very favorite pops I own!! So freakin detailed and magnificent :cherry:

Dude, that’s totally rad!! Can’t nobody deny them are magnificent Tres! Awesome set :bears:

Max with the michael myers costume!!! I love how it shows her face and the mask is lifted on top of her head. I love the suit she's wearing to mimic michael's attire. Absolutely love the jack-o-latern bucket she's carrying in her hand! This pop is just all around awesome. I feel like max gets underappreciated because there are so many stranger things exclusive pops that maybe overshadow her. But, this is easily my favorite stranger things pop.

All of the Monty Python's The Holy Grail Pops. Great parts of the movie and I would love a wave two with Sir Robin, etc.

We definitely need more RE

Ok this might not be exactly under appreciated but dr doom pop. For being such an early pop the face and body look really good. Another is killer croc from Arkham game

Postby **jondru** » Sat Sep 01, 2018 5:13 pm

Dr. Doom

Postby **Flynn47** » Sat Sep 01, 2018 5:43 pm

The Arkham games pops for me. They basically ushered in the change to pops with more detail and I don’t see them in many collections despite them being the best renditions of each character in my opinion.

It bothers me so much also that we never got wave 3 (Freeze, Catwoman) when the artist mock ups looked so amazing!

Silver Surfer. Enough said

Postby **kingdomcustoms** » Sat Sep 01, 2018 7:10 pm

There's so many, and I can't really be bothered to narrow it down so I won't!

Rapunzel with Pascal - I love this Pop. They've perfected the character and solved the issue of petite-bodied Pops falling over cleverly. I was pretty surprised feeling the weight of it when I first got it, and the addition of Pascal makes it so much better. Just need to pick up the SDCC one!

Young Anna & Elsa - Not a big fan of Frozen (it's a bit meh), nor the Pops particularly, but these two are so damn cute. They're definitely the best renditions of the two characters. I adore the little dolls of the pair in Anna's hands, and the snowballs in Elsa's.

Power Ranger 2017 set - Probably comes down to the movie not being very highly rated, but the 8 Pops in the set are all incredibly detailed. I wish they'd been more popular though, I would've loved to have seen Alpha and the Megazord get a Pop from that film!

Lumiere and Cogsworth - The two from the live-action film are incredible, the detail is so accurate and well done, yet they don't seem at all popular. Same goes for the rest of the set really, I love all of them.

Others definitely include dancing Mulan, Patina Iracebeth, Hooded Wonder Woman, Metallic Star Sapphire Wonder Woman, and Mother Ghost from Crimson Peak.

That is my favorite Star-lord pop.

Some of my favorites from my collection are the boxtrolls set. Loved the movie, was so excited when I was able to get all 3 pops! They showcase the characters perfectly

Postby **Kenjutsu763** » Sun Sep 09, 2018 7:46 am

Magic: The Gathering Pops- I really want more waves, but there isn't enough love out there. I think Nicol Bolas is one of the coolest pops I have ever seen.
