Is Funko slowly doing away with Spastik and Fantastik pop?

Yeah I do not see them going away. They did a lot for the 20th Fun-versary which was awesome. I honestly wish they did more colorways. It always looks cool to have the different colorways next to each other. And if the colorway is weirder then you can mix and match for cool displays. Like using the Green T-Bone and Green El Diablo and the Gill for an ECCC display!

Yeah the color themes for cons was deff cool, cant wait to see what they do next

We had a minor dump of them in Australia around the time of the Rainbow Bigfoot drop.

For a while there you I couldn’t buy a newly realeasd ‘myth’ pop without buying a 3 pack bundle, usually containing 1 myth and 2 Spastiks.

For instance when I wanted a Lock Ness, I had to buy a bundle with 2 wolf gangs in it. Standard one, and pink variant.

They also done this with big al, I got 2 of him, different variants just so I could get my friend a Rainbow Bigfoot.

Strange line, standard Gill is rarer and more sought after than the mass produced ‘variant’ that has a different coloured Gill on the inside of the box, compared to the outside, showing the original ‘green gill’.

Just saw this was delayed until 3/20, I assume because of Virtual Con. I don’t plan on getting any of the ECCC Pops so this is a little disappointing.

Aw dang. Was hoping for another.

There is always Jacob's but I dont think anyone has seen anything about it yet

Gotcha. Since there doesn't seem to be a design contest yet for this year, maybe we will see more of the runner ups made.

Yes, 1 a month is perfect. Love the Spastik Plastiks!

Same here... I really hope we start seeing more. The Spastik/Fantastik are without a doubt some of my favorite releases from Funko.

I just saw that the Funko Shop has a lot of them still available. If they were a big hit, they would have been gone by now.

My fave is still Bat Boy that Tanner/PopFanBoy designed! $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

The bat boy is really cool. I saw they gave one away on the eccc virtual con thing. It is really nice

Especially after the huge addition of all the Funday Tikis people kinda felt overwhelmed so I'm glad they kinda were put on hold for a bit. I feel like too much of anything make it lose its specialness. 1 a month would be cool with me

Agreed, slow and steady wins the race. When they do too many at a time that is when you lose collectors.

Not many were available while I was at HQ over the weekend. They said they have been going pretty quickly. Especially new characters

I feel like Grimm will definitely sell out. It's a great one.
