Papal Bobblehead is Back?

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a spring. Come inside and chat about Funko Wacky Wobblers (bobble heads, for the less sophisticated).

Papal Bobblehead is Back?

Postby CAHRULL » Fri Sep 11, 2015 5:31 pm

Toy Tokyo posted that tomorrow they'll be selling the Pope Francis bobbleheads in-store and that they'll be on their website soon thereafter. I heard from multiple people that the Pope Francis line got canned, what gives?

In other news - I'm dying to get my hands on one of these!

There are some of these on ebay. Are these made by Funko?

Mindstyle has their name on it. Second or third picture.

I hope this means the Pop(e) is coming back as well.

Interesting. So even though this one was shown alongside the Pop & Hikari, it is MindStyle only? No Funko involvement?

The Funko name doesn't appear on the box or bottom of bobble head.

I got one a while back. I like him but he's not quite Funkoized.

I haven't heard anymore about the Pop Pope since it was first banished.

I got one a while ago too and I would agree with Craig. The Scepter seems really flimsy and easy to snap.

I'm kind of on the fence. I guess it depends on the whatever the price point ends up being.

I might pass on it, to be honest. It's silly but if it's a non-Funko item I feel kind of weird adding it to my Funko collection :( if the Pop or Hikari ever saw the light of day I think I'd have to jump on those, but that sounds unlikely at this point.

What are your thoughts on the quality of construction and the non-Funko-ness of it?

I didn't take it out of the box, don't know if I ever will, I have no reason to own it honestly...the non funko-ness of it doesn't bug me, I also love mindstyle as a separate entity so I feel like i am supporting them.

From the time I first saw the Toyfair pics, the Hikari were what I was really holding out for. I'd take the Pop even!

I wanted that Pope POP so bad as soon as I saw it was announced, but wasn't it rumored to be an extremely small release as well...for some reason I recall 250-500 pieces only??? Come on Funko...capitalize on Francis being in the USA right now!! :-P
