The Future of Rock Candy?

Postby NightmareMermaid » Mon Mar 26, 2018 11:47 pm

The number of releases seems to have slowed down quite a bit. The only upcoming ones seem to for the most part be tied to theatrical releases. I really love this line and hope it will continue to expand especially when it comes to Disney.

I agree, I hope they continue with them. The figures look great and it would be nice to see more variety.

I love Rock Candy figures. There are so many characters I'd like to see made!
They're really focused on Harry Potter, but that's not a line that interests me.
I always prefer figures based off already animated characters; that's when these figures truly shine.

I like rock candy but i never pulled the trigger to buy them. Idk why but maybe cuz im just more invested in POPs than Rock Candy. Maybe i dont need another addiction LOL

I adore Rock Candy! I'm looking forward to the upcoming Harry Potter ones...
I'd definitely love to see more Disney and Game of Thrones ones too!

I love this line but every store I go to complains about how poorly they sell. And I know I’m cynical enough to wait to buy them when they get marked down because they always get marked down. I don’t think it bodes well for the future but then they keep making Hikaris so...

Couldn't agree more. I love the rock candy line, and am so glad they finally made a Poison Ivy one for ECCC. I too wish they'd keep expanding the line. They have so many ways they could take it. The Yuri on ice ones look great, i love the colored stand. I don't want the same recolors over and over though, like with Harley, and Wonder Woman, and Batgirl. Its like they all have a regular, sepia, and holiday version (except Batgirl).
Lets talk pops, eh?

I'm trying my best not to get into Rock Candy. But they're different in their own way that the few I have are growing on me. Would like to see more villainous chicks though.

It seems a lot of people are on edge as I am with collecting Rock Candy. I do love the detail on them and I really hope this line doesn't end before I decide to pick my first one up. I will. I will; just in time. I've really been wanting Arwen.

While Rock Candies are my favorite Funko product, it's very obvious that they don't sell quickly. Even when being clearanced for $2 to $4, they can stay in GameStop stores for months. I think that Funko should have kept this line to only female characters, and QC needs to be better. I have gone through as many as ten of the same character before getting an acceptable one.

QC is unfortunately problematic across all Funko products..

I'm extremely disappointed we only have ONE X-Men RC, Mystique. I was really hoping they'd at least make all of the wonderful X-Ladies, but nope. Pretty bummed about that. :(

Rock Candy is hit and miss for me. I love some, while others i am just "meh" about. Some of my favorites are the not so new ones: BvS Wonder Woman, DCTV Supergirl, and Daenerys Targaryen.

I really like Rock Candy's, I really like the style and detail compared to Pops. Taken to collecting the RC Harry Potter, they're (to me) much more interesting than the Pops, some of which are rather drab.

I really enjoy the rock candy line, some of the faces look a lil potato-ie to me but for the most part I really enjoy most of what they have come out with.

Im sure most have seen this by now but they evil lyn specialty series they announced looks good.

I really love Rock Candy. I don't buy enough of them but I have slowed down my buying of pops recently as well because I don't have the room right now and I buy the, and they sit in my room in a box lol

I have a few more Rock Candy figs currently out that I really want to add to my collection with the HT Moana one being the only really hard and pricey one to track down. The line definitely doesn't get much love, but I'm all about it and hope w see them continue to put them out in some capacity. I actually appreciate the slow pace they're going with them just like Pint Size Heroes. Throw a few new releases out here and there so I have something to go for during the lulls when there aren't many Pops to go after.

The rock candy line is a hit or miss from me.. Some characters look great while others looked off to me .. Thats just me though. Dorbz ridez have been the same. Slowing down on production releases
