Rock Candy Vinyl Figures!

Postby **Gothamite** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 12:12 am

Just noticed that the Hot Topic Exclusive Wonder Woman with sword & shield has started appearing on eBay with the smaller tabbed box.

Also, these new tabbed boxes are shorter than the ones that were sent to Target a couple of years ago.

It's my favorite. So many characters look so great in this style. I'd love to see Beverly from It as a Rock Candy!

The last one that I remember is the two Dark Phoenix RCs. The common and the one from the X-Men box.

Yeah not a smart move due to the movie not being a success

I'm still annoyed we haven't gotten comfy Cinderella and Merida.

Funko needs to make Rock Candies of other CW Arrowverse characters. [-o<

Postby **Gothamite** » Mon Jan 27, 2020 7:32 pm

I saw the Target "exclusive" Elsa and Anna Rock Candies at Half Price Books. They had a lot.

i really miss rock candy and think these would be amazing.

DCTV Rock Candy and Pops would be amazing. But having Batwoman and the Canaries to go with Supergirl [chef's kiss]

Postby **PaleRiderOfDoom** » Tue Feb 04, 2020 9:18 am

I always wanted a Fallout Nuka Girl Rock Candy. It would be amazing!

Postby **Gothamite** » Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:21 pm

Some Targets have Anna on clearance for $3.

That's a good deal! The Ralph breaks the Internet princesses were really cool designs

Postby **MacKazoo** » Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:32 pm

I think the Rock Candy line is now over.

Postby **Ducktor_Strange** » Thu Jun 18, 2020 11:05 pm

I do think the Disney Ralph Breaks the Internet broke the Rock Candys!!!

It's crazy because those that love the Rock Candys REALLY love the Rock Candys!!! (Like me for one) My opinion is their size is perfect for the detailed body sculpts, more so than a Pop. With all of the #Funkowomenofpower this past year the Rock Candys would have been perfect line to promote this. Add a couple "chases" and get some hype going with them.

Maybe I'll flood the Funko Twitter and Insta with RC pics and #SavetheRockCandys!

You can always try and see if it works, they did have some nice characters in the rock candy line.

Postby **MacKazoo** » Fri Jun 19, 2020 11:18 am

I have a sad feeling with how both the Dark Phoenix and the Ralph Breaks the Internet Rock Candy sold not as well, I think the line might be over which is too bad, I would’ve liked to seen Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman in the style.

Postby **dmitch86** » Wed Jul 08, 2020 10:27 am

Agreed.. it seems as if Rock Candy and Dorbz are done for

Which is pretty sad because there was a lot of choices for new characters, oh well that is how the cookie crumbles.

Is this line being kept kinda sorta alive by Harry Potter? It seems like some places are still stocking various characters.

Maybe Harry Potter really sold well that it signifies the cost of producing more of those characters

Just for kicks, decided to get both versions of Lara Croft to see what the differences were like.

Not sure why one says 14+ and the other says 3+.

Postby **Gothamite** » Tue Jul 21, 2020 6:47 pm

I only collect DC Comics related stuff, but I really like the Rock Candy line. I decided to get several characters and pretend they're DC heroines in regular clothes. I don't even need to customize them!

I understand that re-paints/GITD/flocked variants are easy ways to re-use existing molds, but each variant seems like a missed opportunity to make other characters. In Dark Phoenix's case, one character got two Rock Candies...wearing the same costume.

I used MS Paint to combine one of the Dark Phoenix heads with the black suit Batgirl. This could've easily been an awesome Batwoman.

Postby **Gothamite** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 10:54 pm

Got these from an eBay seller who has the complete set for a reasonable price.

Anyone else have problems with Ariel? I received two, and both were messed up.

Came across this side-by-side pic of the two Dark Phoenix Rock Candies.

That looks pretty good actually! Could maybe make a custom

I got mine when it was released, so it's been a while, but I do remember there being some issues with her. I went through several to finally get one I liked. I believe the most common issue I saw was with the seams of her hair.

Thanks, I guess I'll keep trying.

I'll think about it, the tough part is figuring out how to add a molded mask to the front of the face.

I made a custom Red Alice (Beth Kane, Batwoman's twin sister) using the Astronaut Barbie head and Draculaura.

Postby **Gothamite** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:30 am

Turned Elsa into Kate Kane (aka Batwoman) using the same Astronaut Barbie head as Red Alice (since they're twins).

Having some fun when I was making my custom Kate Kane.
