Re: Lion King Pop!s
They're really cute, but I'm honestly not sure I'll see the movie. I get that live-action might appeal to some, but It's not my favourite thing to see from Disney. The more human driven ones would make more sense to be remade, but not the animal ones. I think they should generate nice animated movies, not (possibly) money driven remakes. Just my opinion. Anyway I might try and get that Timon pop, he's cute!
Well I honestly like pretty much anything to do with pop culture soooooo...

Why does Simba look like he is going to drag my soul to hell?

Re: Lion King Pop!s
These are getting added to my list of “Ugly Pops” for sure. Simba and Scar especially just look so bad.

Re: Lion King Pop!s
I'm getting all 5 of the vinyl ones. I think they are very cute!! I'm getting Scar even though hes very different from the animated one because I missed out on the original Funko POP of Scar which I'm still kicking myself for not getting in 2015 before he was vaulted but I didn't want him back then and now I want him but hes way too much money for me to get now.
Anyway I am very excited to see the new live action re-make!

These are not my favorite pops! I don't think I will even add to the collection.

Timon is cute; but overall these creep me out.

They're not too bad tbh.
And if the movie does really well I'm pretty sure many will be trying to buy the pops.
Will Funko make Earthbound pops before Nintendo releases Mother 3?

Hard pass. I love Disney but these don’t do it for me! Aladdin the same. But hey to those who want them awesome. Go for them, positive vibes to all of you! You have my support
Here to help other fellow funatics in anyway and everyway that I can.

I just saw these on HT Instagram. The lions eyes freak me out but the others are cute . I like the flocked Timon.

Re: Lion King Pop!s
The Lion King is definitely my favorite Disney movie, however I've pretty much already decided against seeing the live action movie. Also, I don't think I'll be adding the pops to my collection because to be honest I think they are a bit scary looking. But who knows, maybe seeing them in person will be a different story.

The live action lion king pops are a definite pass for me because they just look odd. But I hope the movie is good.

Yikes.....
The lions just look so terrible to me. Rafiki and Timon aren't as bad, but not going to be added to my collection.

Love this set. Need them all. I hear the "too creepy, scary" thoughts, but they are lions. Real lions are not supposed to be cute haha

Re: Lion King Pop!s
I think I'll stick with the animated Disney Pops. I've passed on all the other live actions- Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast, Christopher Robin, etc.
However, if they make some Enchanted Pops I could be swayed.

Re: Lion King Pop!s
I'm 100% sure I'll see the movie but on the fence about these Pops. Lion King is one of my favorite cartoon movies so I'm really looking forward to the live action...Just not sure about live action Pops!
I just like smiling...smilings my favorite

I think the Live Action Lion king Pops are adorable! I don't see anything wrong with them at all.

Really intrigued how this movie turns out. The nostalgia is strong, I like the realism of the pops, just hoping there are some type of changes to the story in the film.

I feel like age is lost on these pops, especially how Scar just looks like a cub

Decided to pick up couple of these and I have to say I like them much more than I was expecting to. The realism is very cool and while I definitely prefer the animated ones I'm still happy with how they turned out. Going to be fun tracking down the flocked variants!

Re: Lion King Pop!s
There is just something about these pops I don't like. I think the only one I could take is Timon. I liked the wave they released before this that had nothing to do with the live action movie.

I will need to see them in person before I decide, also I would really like to see the flocked ones. I think the target flocked Simba is really nice
I collect all things Game of Thrones and many other POP lines.

Re: Lion King Pop!s
I feel like nobody asked for these. Tho I also don't think anybody asked for the live action movie, so maybe I'm full of crap

These have been at my local Hot Topic for a couple days now... Nobody has bought any yet. Don't really see anyone buying these tbh. The animated versions look better.

Re: Lion King Pop!s
I’m really not a fan of these at all. I was hoping to get these as I didn’t start collecting until after the original ones were vaulted, but after seeing them I won’t be getting them.
