Twinkie POPS

Postby **Ace+ 76** » Sun Jul 08, 2018 1:00 am

Cool, I was hoping that we would get this Pop. Now for them to do Fruit Pie the Magician and King Dong from Hostess also.

Very cool.. My only question is, if you flip it to the back, will it have the 3 white spots where they injected the cream?

I never ate Twinkies so was oblivious to the mascot so I thought to myself "I might pass" then I was in the grocery store yesterday and saw the Twinkie box and laughed. And of course, now I want them!! Plus the Ad Icon line is 1 of my faves!!!

Finally getting to look at these. I really think it should have been a two pack of the same variant. Think they will last as long as the Twinkies do!

a 2 pack with the Cupcake guy or King Dingdong would be cooler than a twinkie 2-pack (though I do get why that'd work ;-)

)

Glad to see the Ad Icons keep coming! Now to make sure I can keep up, especially with the exclusives.

Postby **Hqsdfan619** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 9:46 pm

Yes! so glad these will be available. I was so sad when Twinkies were originally discontinued. It will be nice to have a pop to commemorate.

Twinkies were a staple of my diet during my 2 month backpacking trip around the states (8 years ago)! Brings back so many memories, grandest off which is watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon and having a Twinkie!

I leave on vacation tomorrow and because of this post I’m gonna have a Twinke while watching the sunrise over the Jersey Shore... Well Done

Our job is done.

So to have an update... Not only did I have a Twinke at 5:23 am with my cup of awesome WaWa coffee... God we need WaWa in NYC... I had a small bowl of Frosted Flakes... While Playing DragonBall Legends Mobile... So to me that was sun rise with 3 Pops... Twinke Icon/Tony the Tiger Icon/Prince Vegeta Lol yes your job was done. Hope the rest of your day goes amazing.

OMG! A scented one would be so awesome!

I preordered one from Pop in a Box UK just before seeing this thread. Regular or Chase, I'll be happy anyway, and I have spent so much lately on PoP! that I need to calm down (and SDCC has not even started yet). ](*,)

I did not know about Big Apple Collectibles so I checked the site out and will definitely go back there when I'll want to make sure to get a Chase. Too bad we do not have such sites in France because the expedition fees from the US are so high :-(

So I am admitting complete ignorance here. Can someone explain to me what they like about the twinkie pops? Im having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Perhaps if I see another perspective that I will like them better.

Postby **LatinFunko** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:25 am

Definite must haves!

Postby **HockeyDad** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:14 pm

I feel like these should "break the record" on pre-orders. They are a must have!

Probably for the same reason people say they like Twinkies. I mean, Twinkies are dry and have a weird aftertaste, but they taste like childhood, which is why people are so attached to them. It’s nostalgia, like many other Funko properties.

Like most other ad icons, a lot people are attracted by the nostalgia.

Now bring on Otterpops!

I just ate a pan full brownies after reading this thread...

I'm really torn as I want to pre-order a chase bundle, but I think I'm going to wait this out a bit. Of course, I've regretted doing that before...
