Papal Bobblehead is Back?
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!

Re: Papal Bobblehead is Back?
There are some of these on ebay. Are these made by Funko?

Re: Papal Bobblehead is Back?
Mindstyle has their name on it. Second or third picture.
I hope this means the Pop(e) is coming back as well.

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

Re: Papal Bobblehead is Back?
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!

Re: Papal Bobblehead is Back?
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
