Being from Cleveland I'd have to pass on the LeBron James one

But these are still pretty sweet!

Postby **Justicewarrior88** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:24 pm

Cool cool!! Thanks Brian!

Postby **DocRamon** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:24 pm

no chases? so.... why is jeremy lin like $40?

Postby **cliffd64** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:25 pm

This line gives me all sorts of ideas...

You could do NBA all time greats too, like Jordan, Magic, Bird, etc... too cool!

What about a MLB set of Pops!

So many starts to choose from that would be great as Pops...

David Ortiz, Derek Jeter, David Wright, Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder and so on and so on...

Cool !!

Always uniforms would have been great chase pieces, but these all look great.

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:29 pm

Very awesome to see them finished with a nice production pic. Thanks for the sneak peak Brian! Also, thanks for adding the "No chase pieces" bit of detail.

I'm right there with ya Cliff, love to see superstars of the past.

Also I hope this opens the door for other sports. Basketball just ain't my thing.

Postby **DocRamon** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:33 pm

yeah, relieved to see no chases, especially given the possibilties of uniform colors and stuff... just hope this doesn't turn into a mcfarlane thing, where certain pops are only available at the NBA All-Star Jam Session. that would be a pain...

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:34 pm

Not a NBA fan anymore really .. the only one I would actually want would be the Jeremy Lin.

Figures !! DOH !!

Cliff, we have tentative approval on an NBA legends line that would include everyone from Magic, WIlt, Larry Bird etc...

"Magic" is music to my ears!

Postby **mrcory5000** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:45 pm

K-LOVE baby!!!

Postby **cliffd64** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:48 pm

You could do a whole series of Rodman customs... based on hair color alone!

An exclusive Mailman Edition Karl Malone, dressed approprietly as a USPS mail carrier, would make a great exclusive for the USPS ($10 with a NBA POP book of stamps)!

Postby **sclarke03** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:22 pm

I think throwback jerseys would have been a great idea for chases....looking forward to the tentative NBA legends line.

Postby **edorice** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:31 pm

I would buy the NBA greats in a heartbeat.

Postby **FlashInfinite** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:35 pm

coool cool cool

Postby **FunkoPOPfanpage** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:35 pm

MJ, Magic, and Larry Legend and I'd be set! :o)

Postby **xxchiseenjaixx** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:39 pm

SWEEEEET! drose, pau and jlin for me! Cant wait for the net batch either. needa get KOBE!

any ideas where we can expect to buy them when they release?

Postby **sirrichardrichard** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:40 pm

Unmarked chases with the away uniforms would be cool. That way you'd have to know a bit about basketball to catch on....or be a member of a Funko fan page

Postby **Cal78** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:54 pm

Bill Russell, also I would not mind old baseball players, IE. Willy Mays, Don Drysdale, Reggie Jackson, and especially Rollie Fingers with his Handlebar Mustache.

Postby **bbrutality03** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:58 pm

very cool thanks brian for the new stuff

Postby **JBiz** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:44 pm

They look great, but... Pau and not Kobe?

Postby **jake1977jr** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:57 pm

Nothing I'm looking for.I haven't watched Bball since my favorite Charles Barkley played for the Phoenix Suns way back in the early 90's.How about some NFL Pops,I'll take an Atlanta Falcons Pop any day!!!

That icemanfan thing isn't just for looks

P.S. SPURS players PLEASE!

Postby **Meth68** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:31 pm

I of course will be picking these all up (I ordered my case a while ago), even though I wasn't to crazy about these, I am a huge sports fan, and well I love my pop so it just makes sense, I am just not so excited about this series only because they all look so similar, I kinda like the ideas of specific Rock, and super heroes that are very distinct when you look at them. A nice touch would have been a minor size difference, Durant and Gasol being the same size as Lin is just odd to me lol

Postby **Batman1987** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:23 pm

So many proto ideas with these. Its to easy. Mj comes to mind.

Postby **batmanfunatic92** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:31 pm

I second the Spurs players! I will be picking up Manu for sure in series 2!

i agree about the sculpts. they could have had at least a few players in action poses, or something (like a lebron james chalk toss). but i'm hoping these aren't really FINAL final. some guys are missing their tats, and that paint touch could really add some much needed character to the bodies.
