Saw this in the official Funko page, thoughts on this?

I know social media is going insane right now, but that is nothing new. Here are my thoughts...

Funko is probably reaching the top of their growth curve (or maybe not who knows) and when that happens companies typically will release a bunch of new products to try and keep that growth going. Funko also knows a large percentage of their audience is females so this makes sense IMO. I would also imagine this isn't a significant deal from a money standpoint so there is little risk in it for Funko.

I'm curious if Funko Fans will collect these even if they are non-makeup wearers.

Personally, I won't be adding these to my collection.

[Stat32111]

I mean I guess if they can make a buck then why not? I personally find them kiddish looking but I guess so are pops I’m sure people will collect them once there’s a 1/24 piece

[Ruen97]

What?

[Ruen97]

Half a million in stock for cricket players? Seriously? I guess pikachu claimed 60 thousand was limited.

[Shadowfyre]

I think it's a fun idea - I did a little research on Taste Cosmetics and they state they don't test on animals so that's a plus for me. A lot of their products are flavored too - I wonder if the lip glosses will be. I can just see the evil queen's tasting like apple or something like that

LOL...Good point! Stick a LE sticker on these and everyone will go mad

Agree with you on this one. Plus, I think the strategy on doing such is too just let more people know about Funko, especially of the different market segments, with the long term intention to eventually lure them into collecting the toys.

[Nerdfulthingz]

Hmm, I'm on the fence with this one. I'm not THAT into makeup and what I do wear is typically natural looking or over the top for costume/effect. I don't foresee myself picking this up down the road but who knows!

[Brutesquad]

I don't know much aboot cosmetics but i know there are some collectible ones out there so it seems like a smart-ish play, Urban Decay had a cool little set up at Wondercon this year with their GOT line and gave away some cool pins!!

[Classier]

Funko’s just been getting weirder and weirder the past year or so.

[gospeedracer]

I was reading about this today. Bundle the make up with limited Pops and all of a sudden guys will be going into Ulta to buy make up just to get the Pop. But then what would we do with the make up? Give it away on the boards or in the FB groups? We shall see

[katersatz]

There seemed to be some over the top reactions on social media (jumping the shark, stupid, stay in you lane, etc) but... it's fine? Right?

It's collectible packaging at the most...fun with colours and themes/licenses for the make-up, which I know I've seen before. Just some Funko styling for anyone interested in it.

Just more fun... it's what they do!

The actual box and palette is pretty cool looking!

This is definitely true, but I also think they're trying to capitalize on market trends. Nerdy palettes have been pretty popular lately. We both know Funko has tried to break out into other markets (salt+pepper shakers ) and has always bounced back to Pop or some other vinyl, so I'm curious what will happen in a few years.

agree 100% I rarely wear make-up and when I do it is very natural looking.
I would be interested in some nerdy/geeky nailpolish

[UrsulaLover]

I'm not big in to wearing make up as well, but depending on what the cost is, I'd consider getting something from the Ursula set.

Wife's gonna want em

I have a friend who isn't into pops so much, but nerdy nail wraps, leggings, and makeup is right up her lane. If there was a con exclusive Funko/cosmetic offering we'd both make an effort to visit it.

But really all Funko has to do is announce some limited number and people will want it

[AnyGivenFunko]

Nope for me.

Not surprised at all, companies are willing to try and see if collectors/fans will collect outside of the realm if its of interest(Tie in Disney characters/license). Seen it with the upcoming Game of Thrones make-up at WonderCon this past year. Marvel & Disney has done several times putting in their characters on shampoos, soaps, toothpaste.

[CoolNerd]

I love them but dun think will buy them cos dun think will use makeup at all..

[kai kai]

I would be interested in some nerdy/geeky nailpolish

It’s a yes for me. Oh! And include some stickers too

[FunkoLoco]

will there be protos for these too?

[kai kai]

Hmm.. what a coincidence! I watched a short documentary about disney bounding. I guess this is the market they’re trying to take and probably the reason why they started with disney villains.
Hope the pigments, the colors and the longevity do well.

Totally second you on the nail polish!! I just started using gel at home and I gotta say I can't believe it took me this long to make the switch!!

[opopssum]

It’s an interesting move, I have a few friends who are excited about this and through all the jokes and criticism on social media I do see a handful of people excited. Being Disney I think it will do at least reasonably well.

[Rickakatuna]

Wonder if these will be carried in make up stores. I mentioned these to my wife and she was pretty pumped so I'll be getting some for sure

I read an article about it being available at ULTA initially. I don't go in there so unlikely will I get one for the Missus

[mongoose12]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I understand why Funko is giving this a try.

[Geescube]

never heard of Taste Beauty..

whole situation here reminds me of Tsum tsum lipsmackers.

[jedik6]

I am a makeup junkie - in addition to my pops and other toys - and saw these when a friend sent me the post. I took one look, thought it was a joke at first, and then went "NOPE" when I realized it was no joke. It's cute - sure. As much as I love Funko, I'm sorry but the $ I spend on makeup is put towards actual makeup/skincare brands.

[tlaloc666]

IT would be funny to have a glow in the dark chase.... jajajajjajaja

My wife with glowing face hajajajaa great prank

[Greymom]

Not sure how I feel about this. It might be something I have to see in person.

[StarWarsFunkoGirl]

Gel polish is the best

[YeetGrimes]

I think these are pretty dope. Odd area to get into, yes, but I love making boring old makeup products into something fun. For example, there's an It Chapter Two licensed makeup palette Each of the circles are balloons. There's even a beauty blender and the packaging makes it look like a balloon. I don't even wear makeup and I want it! We need more stuff like that.

[leosalion]

This is uhm, interesting

[Panda]

not sure if this line will do well

[Rickakatuna]

Oh I plan on getting online . I dont go in there I'm lost in that store
