Anybody else think they’re overdoing it on Freddy lately?

[volsspongebob]

how i'm feeling these days about freddys...

Haha. Same. One can never have enough Freddys. And with all the possibilities of Freddy As,... then I dont see them ever slowing down.

I’m usually in the minority here on opinions, but am I the only one who thinks them taking Freddy from being a yearly offering that gets maybe a couple hundred pieces and turning him into a bi-monthly drop of thousands is really diminishing his appeal? Wanting a Freddy collection was my top priority when I first learned about him and Fundays, but now what was once such a special epic thing is starting to feel so mundane, which is sad and kind of how I’ve been feeling about collecting Funko in general. I dunno, maybe it’s the announcement of yet another NFT drop meaning a couple thousand new Freddys are destined for this world, but it just got me thinking , and I know how much you all hate me thinking so I’ll end it there.

Agreed. Freddy has def lost some appeal. It’s Freddy fatigue tbh but I do think if they decide to keep pumping out Freddy’s at least make it so they’re actually limited. Freddy I feel like was should be something that is coveted and limited, not mass produced which is a weird thing to say considering it’s a Funko product .

[digithor]

That could be a fun 2 pack of freddy and proto.

As long as there are cool designs, we can continue with the Freddy variants

Agree....Keep them limited! I still love them but it is fatiguing. I do like the NFTs because they are limited and can be a challenge to get.

Now this I like!!!

This is a nice idea.. Maybe in the future we can have proto and actual pop in 2 pack... That would be awesome

It would have to be extremely limited. Like a 1 of 1.

Part of the allure for Freddy for me outside of being a mascot, was him being tied to special events/conventions. I like the idea of him being the royalty for NFTs but the random shop Freddys could be toned down. I will say however I really loved the happy Birthday Freddy from a little while back!

[thejosh2010]

No such thing as too much Freddy!!

[wolfy233]

I always wondered if I'd tire of seeing Freddy pops versus 'regular' pops... but I don't think that day will ever come.

i think it just you

[MasterSplyntr]

I think it's cool that Freddy has become much more accessible to way more people.

[emzben25]

I love seeing more Freddys! It's super fun. It's true it may be a little less special now that there are more of them but I find it fun to collect them.

[mikechickenhead]

Luke i always say

ALL. THE. FREDDYS.

[SithLord112]

I can see how it can be too many. There has been a lot in the past year but also gives casual Freddy fans a chance at a lot of different ones to choose and grab but also can be a pain for Freddy completest to get them all. The worst is the mystery boxes they have the Freddy exclusives in.

[runtodere]

I'm going to say no!

[Stat32111]

Never such thing as too many Freddie’s. There’s too many character variants to get people excited to collect them!

Not sure you noticed but it is the 25th ANNIVERSARY of FUNKO

Freddy IS the mascot of FUNKO

[LoneWolf72]

I feel that ever since Funko went public, they've been flooding the market with everything. Freddys are no exception. Personally I think this is a mistake because Funko's products are losing their exclusivity and value.

I agree on your points. Try to keep Freddy unique for special events or collections to avoid Freddy fatigue.

100,% with this I still looking for some Freddy wants

Exactly. The more Freddys of various fandoms then it becomes more and more true there's something for everyone when collecting Funko.

[brooklyn_geek]

I appreciated having to jump through some hoops to get Freddy Funko pops but I see why some who were around a decade or more ago would say they want to see more of him...that being said considering where sales are and the matter of $31 million in product that had to be destroyed etc over producing ANYTHING is not something Funko should be doing at this point. More variety could be cool if the numbers were smaller but I dislike seeing LE 5000 or LE 10000 on a Freddy Pop...seems less special

I agree it kinda looks like they're running out of ideas or there isn't any that interest me. However I've been surprised before so I'm looking forward to what or who Freddy will be.

[dr-FOMO]

Aren't they overdoing it for everything? Lol...

But I would like to shed more positive light on the Freddy. I've think the brand icon has gotten more popular as a result. I remember a time when people rarely wanted the Freddy but look at him now! He's definitely gotten a larger fan base. Now that has been accomplished, they can probably tone down a bit haha

[Ohlordypops]

I really like the Freddy pops and sodas! I think they can do more variants (to cover more fandoms) but also keep the piece count at a reasonable amount.

I think they will eventually make more

[Jezter]

My only concern is they made a couple Wolverine Freddys and I'll never be able to get them. Blah.

[rexflexall]

Much agreed!

[cliffd64]

Here's my simplistic approach... buy the Freddies you love... Don't have to acquire them all. There is surely something for everyone

first of all we dont hate you thinking Mr. Yac. We really do appreciate you and the always good interaction. But I do agree with you here I do think they are overdoing the Freddy releases. I know the Fundays and Fright Night Freddy's will always be the highly sought after pieces, but aside from those the pieces being released as con exclusives or store exclusives are starting to be a too much. I am now at that point, instead of looking at picking each one up I am now being more selective.

[islander671]

I am 100% in this same boat here, they are just too far out of reach for me as well.

[HowardTheDuck]

I share this concern every year. Whether it's Wolverine or Spider-Man or Optimus Prime or whoever it happens every time. That being said, I've commented multiple times this year about the seemingly overabundant Freddys but it's been with excitement because the majority of them were great. This is certainly the most I've ever gotten in one year and ideally my fingers are still tightly crossed to get a couple more before it's over.

[Elviax]

As long as they keep them different and unique I love em

[BearyAllen]

I dont think Funko is "overdoing" it, but I personally prefer the Freddies attached to a specific property and not really the generic ones. That being said I do own some of the more generic ones. That being said, no, I do not think they are overdoing it.

[Ap4ulcalypse]

I like Freddy! The more the better!

That's my preference, too. Freddy in cosplay reminds me of Halloween costumes or playing dress-up as a kid, whether they were store-bought or handmade costumes. The various Freddys over the years help further reiterate that everyone is a fan of something, whether it's specific IP's, different hobbies/sports we've seen Freddy doing like skiing, skating, hiking, surfing, etc., or even fans of Halloween or Christmas.

blasphemy!

[liiilzz]

I actually don’t mind it since I’m not a completionist and only collect the particular ones that I like! I do agree they have cranked up the number of Freddy’s that release in a year though
