I think this Buffy thing is similar to SDCC where people were complaining 'no game of thrones boo these exclusives all suck' like people need to realize that not coming immediately doesn't mean that things won't eventually come, I mean now we have the iron throne exclusive for nycc. Just wait and don't whine.

I think it all depends on how people express their disappointment, really. As I've said before: Funko is a company, and not all feedback is going to be positive. At the same time, BECAUSE Funko is a company you can't expect them to make more of something that doesn't sell.
I think both "sides" on here could tone it down a bit sometimes. The "complainers" and the "complainers about complainers"
Anyway, I'm not that bothered that none of the reveals are on my wishlist; I've still got some catching up to do. Though I am of course hoping that Funko will confirm or deny a second Buffy wave somewhere in the near future. (preferably confirm [-o< )

What was announced that I'm excited for? Let's see...

Duck Dodgers I will buy in a heartbeat, especially since that means Marvin the Martian is on his way! Not having that Pop would make me very angry, *paces back and forth while exaggeratedly hyperventilating*, VERY angry indeed! Seriously, I've wanted WB animation Pops since I started seriously collecting, so starting with one of my favorite sub-series of the classic characters is freaking awesome as far as I'm concerned.

More Pirates? If that means a Hector Barbossa, I'm there!

Classic Willy Wonka? Yeah, I'd be down for one of him. Maybe a Charlie, too, if he's holding the Golden Ticket.

Spider-Gwen? She'd look awesome for sure, I'll watch for that one.

Pac-Man?!?!?! Instant-buy on the yellow guy, and I'll be watching to see what designs the ghosts are based on. I hope this does well enough to open the doors for more retro gaming properties. Q*Bert, for example, probably would be an easy license for them to get, but starting with Pac-Man is a smart idea to establish the market for older game characters since he's so iconic.

BSG Remake series? Not for me, but a friend of mine will be all over this, so I'm very happy for him.

Now, I'm seriously sitting here hoping the Peanuts Movie drives some sales of that line of Pops, so I can see a Wave 2 of that with the other major characters. My collection of those characters will just feel incomplete to me without Marcie (my favorite). I've bought Snoopy/Woodstock and Sally, I've ordered Charlie Brown and Linus from my comics store (Diamond takes forever getting some Pops to the specialty stores compared to them appearing at mass market; it's depressing, but I want to support my local businesses), Lucy I'll be grabbing next time I impulse buy, and I'm actively hunting for Olaf at Targets on a semi-frequent basis. I will pray to whatever benevolent deity I have to if it means we see Marcie!

The Willy Wonka POPS have me most excited. That is one of my favorite movies of all time. I am so glad they went with the Wilder version and not the horrible Depp version.

I'm a massive Buffy fan! (Still hunting an affordable vampire spike!) but I'm happy to wait for a wave 2 if it ever appeared!

On to the announcements though... My brother almost went through the roof with excitement in regards to the DBZ wave 2! Well done on them! For me, the Alien Queen is insane! I'm super excited!! Thanks for your time and announcements Brian!! :)
