When can we hope for an announcement on more Star Trek Reaction figures?

Postby **maverick10126** » Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:59 pm

Reis,

With the announcement that ReAction will be limiting itself to 70's and 80's properties (a good move considering the aesthetic) is there any chance of a new line of 3.75" figures to cover some of these modern properties? A line with more of a modern sculpting aesthetic that's more fitting to the modern properties. For instance, the Firefly figures were great. They looked very 80's and came with some great accessories. But in a way it felt forced. Figures sculpted with an 80's look for a show made in the early 2000's. Now had they been sculpted similar to say late run POTF2 Star Wars figures (like 99/2000 styling after they got rid of all the muscles) it would have felt more fitting.

I guess I'm sad that modern properties wont be done in 3.75" form but at the same time glad they wont be done in a 70/80's style. Just holding out hope the modern properties can have a future in 3.75" format.

Stay tuned. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hello Reis,

I've got three things on my mind.

1) The "haunted house" playset, can you tell us if it's sold well enough to justifies the making of any other future playsets? A paper Star Trek Transporter Room would be sweet (for the energized versions of the characters) and of course a bridge would be welcome.

2) Any hope of revealing any more Star Trek Reaction figures? If so, when can we hope to see them or get some hints?

3) What properties in the Funko world are your favorites?

1) The haunted house playset is not a Funko product. That was strictly a Super7 production for their SDCC booth. So I have no idea how well it sold or if they have plans for anything else. Sorry.

2) No news yet on the next wave of Star Trek figures. We're hoping to get our revised line-up nailed down in the next couple of months or so. I should have more news then.

3) I'm a total Star Wars nerd.

1) Okay, sorry if this has been said, but is the re-structure forever? Like, is there any chance in the future for there to be modern properties again?

2)Is there any chance of a thread like this in the Pop forum?

Thanks Reis!

1) We still have plans for modern licenses, just not in ReAction form. Ultimately, they just didn't work. But don't worry, we have something up our sleeve that should be announced by Toy Fair.

2) Doubtful. I took this on myself since I am heading up the ReAction project and a lot of people had questions, especially early on when there was a lot of misinformation out there. ReAction's collector base is still at a manageable size when it comes to answering questions. If we did this for Pop, it would be virtually impossible to answer everything.

Postby **commodorefunko** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 1:25 pm

Thank you Reis!
1) Cool, thanks for clearing that up. Can't wait for Toy Fair even more now!
2) Figured as much, but thought it didn't hurt to ask. Thanks again.

Postby **Omegacity** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 1:41 pm

Having two separate lines, one for 70's and 80's properties in classic form and another for modern properties with updated sculpting and (hopefully) articulation sounds like a wonderful idea!!
Still crossing my fingers for 3 3/4" Battlestar Galactica (classic), V The Series and maybe even the Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman.

Mr. Reis,

My daughter keeps bugging me about this Dark Crystal line. I just said we have to wait until Toy Fair next year. It will be fun to do all characters from that movie in ReAction form. What are your thoughts about Dark Crystal ReAction action figures? Will they be better sculpted then other ReAction lines or will they still have that 80's feel to it?

We will be sticking to the retro feel. We're hoping to match the original sculpts as closely as possible, but may tweak things here or there to appease modern aesthetic sensibilities.

Please please make them better then those old sculpts. I am hoping for the very awesome look of the way you guys do things compared to those old figures. Hoping for a retro feel that feels more in tune with the movie then those old sculpts. Seriously glad you guys are still doing that line though. Really really want to have that in my collection.

With your new focus on vintage properties, have you reconsidered doing the classic Planet of the Apes?

Please please make them as close to the original sculpts as possible. ;-)

I love how the Alien figures made you feel like you've finally obtained the long lost figures you've been dreaming about for so long. I'd love for the Dark Crystal figures to do the same.

Postby **1000thghost** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 11:22 am

Reis I can't wait for what ever you guys decide to put out. My only request is that so many figures don't hit all at once. I am fine with a new set each month but my wallet can't take 2 or 3 different sets each month. Good luck with the re-launch!!!!!

It's not a matter of whether or not we've considered it, we have, but we no longer have the license, and with the new movies hitting, the licensing for the old school POTA has changed.

Yes, a major part of the restructure is coming up with a more spread out release schedule.

Yeah but the difference is the Old Aliens stuff was decent. Have you seen the old Dark Crystal stuff? It doesn't look that good or even resemble much of the movie stuff. (At least not the gelflings). The colors were also weird choices too.

I'm hoping Funko does better figures with better proportions and colors and faces. Also hoping for options/variants like "Kira with Wings" etc. So much potential for such an awesome classic movie.

Postby **LandoInDisguise** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 4:26 am

Yes, I saw them and love them! Not only a representation of the movie characters, but also of the time they were made in. To each their own of course, sorry to derail this thread.

Hey Reis, I know you can't go into new lines coming out but since you spoke on dark chrystal and said you have the license for V I gotta ask; how long brotha?

Sorry, all the release dates are up in the air at the moment, so I just don't have a solid answer for you. But we're working on figuring it all out! Sorry for the delay on any info, gang!

Postby **commodorefunko** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 3:21 pm

With the Bruce Lee Pops coming out, do you think some ReAction figures might be possible?
Thanks.

Postby **Jamestaff** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 10:51 am

So here is my re-action wishlist for figures I'd like to see, hopefully this inspires you guys. (forgive me if some of these have been mentioned already.)

- Ghostbusters! - (Although there's probably a licensing reason this hasn't happened yet)

- "They Live" (R.I.P. Roddy)

- A Second "Big Trouble in Little China" Run - Including: The Monster, Egg Shen, Wang, Eddie, A random Chang Sing Warrior, and a Wing Kong Warrior (preferably the guy who played Ghengis Kahn in Bill and Ted)

- A Second "Goonies" Run - Including: Brandon, Andy, Steph, Ma Fratelli, Jake Fratelli, and Francis Fratelli

- "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"

- "The Warriors"

- "Willow" (Probably one of my all time favorite films, been stiffed heavily in the action figure department)

- "Revenge of the Nerds" (this is untapped action figure gold)

- "Clue - The Movie" - (more untapped gold)

- "Back to the Future Part: 2" - (my suggestions include: Future Doc, Future Marty, Griff, Old Biff, Evil Biff, and Porch battling Strickland)

- "Reservoir Dogs"

- "Kill Bill"

- "Young Frankenstein"

- "The Blues Brothers"

- "Flash Gordon" (1980)

- "The Shining" - Jack Torrence Stand alone

- "Police Academy"

- "Legend" (1985)

- Teen Wolf!

- Little Shop of Horrors (Including a boxed Audrey II)

- "the Golden Child"

- "Platoon"

- Crocodile Dundee (Stand alone figure)

- "Raising Arizona"

- "The Lost Boys"

- "Near dark"

- "Over The Top"

- The "Burbs"

Long story short I want just about every 80s movie imaginable in this series!

Back in the 80's one of my fave movies was The Ice Pirates.
After watching this again I can't help but think this would be an awesome line of Reaction figures!!

Postby **Wolfman** » Fri Oct 02, 2015 2:56 pm

Reis - I think the Reaction stuff is awesome. I mean really awesome. I don't collect them. I don't collect any toys but I was at Barnes & Noble last year and saw the Universal Monsters Reaction figures and I lost my mind and bought three sets of each figure. Then I bought the Glow in the Dark ones. Then the clear Invisible Man. Just like the ones I played with 30 years ago but more and better. That was like a dream 30 years in the making coming true. My kids love these things. So a couple few questions:

How has the Universal Monsters line sold? Seems like really well from what I've seen.

Are there any plans to expand the line (new characters)?

I see there are some Comic Con Exclusives now (I understand in joint venture in some cases with Super 7). Any plans to bring those to the general public at some point?

Any viable discussion at all about play set type stuff for these Monster figures?

Any discussion about other one off non-Universal classic monsters (Nosferatu, Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde, zombies etc)? I know this borders on wishlist but that's not what I'm getting at.

Postby **DARTHMARCO** » Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:38 pm

Mr. Reis,

Are we still fighting for a Conan the Barbarian ReAction figure line or should I stop asking about It?

Will Game of Thrones have a ReAction figure line, even after your restructure to only vintage?

My kids and I love fantasy movies, so seeing a line base on any kind of sword and sorcery will make us happy! That is why my daughter is waiting patiently for the Dark Crystal line.

Thank you FUNKO and Mr. Reis for delivering what we want.

Postby **Mad197Wonder** » Sat Oct 03, 2015 2:52 pm

Hi Mr. Reis,
1-Like Arrow and Flash tv shows have reaction figures, could we get a Daredevil series figures and other marvel netflix shows?
2-It would be cool get Game of Thrones reaction figurs!

Reis,do u remember the universal monsters candy we got trick r treating in the 70s-80s? (it was a thin lil colored box with a pic of a certain monster on the front&back and had 2 candy stix inside..) this was the absolute best thing to get in my trick r treat bag when I was a kid..anyways,I was thinking-this would be a neat monsters exclusive to do,the cardback could be the same as the candy box was,and maybe the monster could be scented or something?(think stinkor&mossman motu),i don't know..do u remember the creature feature wax packs as well? (mummy,phantom,creature,Frankenstein)..

I would love some more figures in the line. I would LOVE an Abbott and Costello figure set to go with the monsters!
