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... :colors:

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

I really love this set, can't wait to get the commons (don't like flocked stuff). I hope we get a few more maybe at NYCC or SDCC, particularly Nala and Mufasa!

These are getting added to my list of “Ugly Pops” for sure. Simba and Scar especially just look so bad.

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!

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.

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

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.

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! lol

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
