The Glow in the Dark version is way better imo. Don't really like the look of the Diamond Collection.

I bought the Hot topic diamond Genie today as well and it looks great. I have all of the diamond pops thus far and I'm like you I think the Genie has become my new favorite amongst the diamond collection.

Yes it was a must have since also bought the specialty one. I like the diamond one a bit better though, very sparkly.

I don’t collect the diamond versions, but honestly, this one me looks great. I think that if any character made Sense with this treatment, it’s the Genie.

I agree this is the one character to do it too. It looks amazing in person.

Yeah I think it is super close between this and dumbo, but I think Genie takes the bacon for sure.

Not really a big fan of Diamond series as well, especially if the concept doesn't really fit the Pop. Genie for one, I'd say.

I was excited to see the genie initially - I really wanted to get the diamond genie but I haven't pulled the trigger yet on it. I think I'm going to wait until hot cash comes back into play.

Have not been a big fan of the Diamond Collection but this in person makes this by far the best Diamond Collection POP. Well done Funko!

What part of the country? Just curious. I'm in NM. Seems like our stores usually only get a few to start and the "collectors" ie, the guys that grab them all to sell on ebay, wait for them to open on release days. Then sometimes they get a second wave and occassionally you can catch them then.
I did find him on the website yesterday though so it'll all work out.

Oh!!! Yeah Cali always gets better than us...in fact, last year during SDCC, I hit up an HT in SD and found some that my store claimed they never got. So awesome!
