Brian had mentioned it but no one knew if it was going to come to fruition.

Great find Kevin!

I hope so-it'd make some customs easier. And maybe cheaper :P

Postby **BigM** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:28 pm

I bet the proto for this still goes for $140 on gemini.
All jokes aside. This is very cool. Figured it only be a matter of time before they did this.

Postby **Mitchman48** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:29 pm

Cool!

Postby **Geescube** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:30 pm

Wouldnt make sense to release a prototype of this unless Brian handsigned em all. Right? I dunno. Would be very odd..

Someone might take it out of the box and sell it as a proto on eBay before most people find out what it is [-X

A lot of people have been asking for this, so thats cool for all you customizers.

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:35 pm

Right no one knew .. lol

Lets hope that it doesnt come down to that.

Thats pretty sweet

Postby **BigM** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:38 pm

I was making a lame atrempt at a joke .

However I do hope noone tries to pass these of as a proto.
I highly doubt there will be a proto considering this is supposed to be like one.

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:42 pm

What could it be a proto of ?

The male could be Iceman .. lol

The female could be that woman from the very first Star Trek movie with the bald head .. lol

They have no detail at all.

Postby **gruppetstudios** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:42 pm

Lack of detail really shows here lol

Postby **YoAdrian615** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:42 pm

Hopefully it doesn't get listed on ebay as a proto lol

can't picture what character it can pass off as without the buyer realizing it's just a DIY.

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:43 pm

Finally .. I can post these on my blog.

Postby **miyella** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:43 pm

i like how the only difference pretty much in the two molds is the chest area hahaha

haha that actually made me chuckle

Postby **Funko Pop! Fan16** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:51 pm

Haha these are intreasting!

Postby **Billp123** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:54 pm

Those are AWESOME.

Postby **Alleycat** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:54 pm

The kids on the paint line in China will be happy to see these just pass them by on the assembly line ;-)

.

This is great marketing by Funko. Since there are so many talented customizers they will now have new Pop! to work their magic. Can't wait to see some, y'all.

Postby **JokersWild** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 5:59 pm

I can just see people still complaining about paint flaws.

If this has paint flaws......

Postby **PopCollector** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 6:07 pm

Wow, awesome find Kevin! Wonder if they will make them in different colors or poses in the future.

Postby **tinkerbell055** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 6:30 pm

I'm torn on these... the idea is cool, but as someone who isn't the *best* sculptor out there, the lack of hair might be a pain. :P But on the other hand, it opens up a lot more possibilities.

Postby **SaberFireTiger** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 6:41 pm

Yeah the lack of detail doesn't really sing to me. Half of the struggle/fun is finding what existing pieces have the right costume and hair for your character.

Postby **Jango_Fresh** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 6:47 pm

We all use bits and pieces from other pops, these are just more pieces to work with. Love them. Look forward to these.

Which means we might see DIY Freddys at fundays.

Postby **aussam** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 7:02 pm

These should definitely make things easier.

NBA Pop sales will take a hit though...

Postby **FunkoPOPfanpage** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 7:09 pm

Very happy to see these. Will def make customizing a lot easier! Will def be getting a bunch of these when they come out.

Postby **mikezila** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 7:24 pm

This is cool but will require alot of scultpy. It was fun to make someone completely different from a random pop. This is just meh. Will only work for a few projects

Postby **MrPunch000** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 8:18 pm

How strange! I was going to ask Brian about this very idea af ToyFair!! This would certainly save me from buying up all the Blake Griffin POPs that I find LOL

Postby **GodFodder** » Thu Jan 23, 2014 8:49 pm

Is it strange that I want both of these for my collection and have no plans to customize them?

Who is online
