I honestly really like these! I don't collect Star Wars, but I feel like this design was made for Disney characters.... Also Sailor Moon. Very interested in what comes next. :thumbsup:

They will work for Anime characters really well!! I also agree that Star Wars will do well with this look too!!

The new wobblers are awesome! I'm very psyched for them to start coming out. Kylo Ren and RW definitely my first two!

I gotta say, I'm excited that Funko is trying to spark interest in Wobbler's with the new, revamped 'Wobblers.' I'm really psyched for the NFL line. I'm hoping there's a Brady/Gronk in the 1st series! I also hope there's enough interest in this line that Funko continues to pursue different licenses.

Was it the Brady/Gronk comment? Gets me every time as well :smt078

I had my Pats beanie with me in Seattle. Unfortunately, it was too hot to wear it :( Plus, not sure if you guys have gotten over that INT.

Yeah that's not something we will ever forget. Honestly it's not even hatred towards the Pats (I think Brady is fine, he's just easy to make fun of, and Gronk is hilarious), it's just obviously seeing their logo is a reminder of bad memories for ETERNITY. Like the only thing that could have been a worse SB loss, was as if the Hawks had a 1 pt lead with 2 seconds left on the clock, ready to take a knee, somehow botched the snap and gave the Pats a safety. Oh well...it's football. Now how funny would it have been if I came by to pick you up and I saw the Pats beanie and just drove off HAHHAHAHAA

Yeah, the eyes are adorable, but I wonder if any of them will be colored or if they'll all be black like that? Because some characters (like, say, Esmeralda, if she were ever made in a Disney line *wink wink, Funko*) would look better with colored eyes.

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: Now that would have a funny story!

I agree, Brady has made some questionable commercials but I guess you can do that when you're married to a super model! And, honestly, I was positive the Pats had lost that game. Nubia even left the room because she knows I need a few minutes after a Pats loss. And then...Well, you know. They had it in the bag, which is probably why it hurts even more. Either way, it was one hell of a game!

I couldnt tell because I wasn't close enough, but I thought the eyes on those characters were brown? So i wouldnt say that the color eyes is too far-fetched. I mean I could also be blind. I do require glasses so.... lol

Ah, the internet. I went searching to see if there is any new info or pictures on these, and found my cropped image of Topshelf's Instagram image in a popvinyl article about the SW Wobblers. It's a good thing everything on the internet is free!

I prefer the look of the original wobblers, but I might be persuaded towards the new look with Marvel

I'm not feeling these at all. They are like glorified/giant mystery minis, which I can't get into either. These may appeal to some, but I like the original Wobblers better. The detail in them is way beyond these new ones. I may be convinced otherwise if I see some other designs, but these are just a bit too cartoonish/childish for my taste.

Agreed. I like the simple look of POP!'s but I just can't get into these. The eyes are what kill it for me

I don't think this will appeal to all (nor does funko expect them too). I showed the pic of the star wars to my 11 year old daughter and she got super excited. I appreciate that funko is trying new things. Some work better than others. Curious to see how these evolve with time too.
