I agree the metallic is too expensive now. So I settled on the all gold one. Looks great!

Both look great just kick myself for not getting the metallic when it was (somewhat) reasonable.

Don't worry I did the same thing. Just remember You can't have them all! Get what you want and can afford and whatever else happens, happens!

I'm surprised we don't have much Spongebob to begin with. Hoping this new line is the start of countless waves. I mean there are so many characters and variants that could be made. It is arguably one of the most iconic cartoons ever produced so you'd think they'd be hot sellers. Let's just hope this new wave does well. I've already preordered my Pop! Town.

Agreed. I was always surprised other cartoons of lesser impact on Pop Culture had more than Spongebob. Similar to Simpsons. Now both are getting ramped up and hoping there is more to come.

It maybe have been due to licensing issues as well as the popularity of the original lines.

Regardless, I’m sure they’re going to make full uses of their renewed licenses now lol

Makes sense. For some reason I always thought once you had a license you had full coverage of that property. Did not know there were sub licenses to the licenses.

Yeah licenses are really weird and I'm pretty sure Funko still has a pretty hard time maintaining them all lol.

I’m liking the new spongebob line, and I’m happy they finally made the pineapple, but I think they should make the other characters houses too lol

My bfs more excited for the new line since the old ones are expensive and he wants the 10” Spongebob lol

Marching Band Spongebob will be hitting stores soon. Be on the lookout on your local Hot Topic Instagram and Facebook pages to see when they get shipments. Have a feeling that hes going to sell out quick in store.
