Your ReAction Questions Answered Here!

[Terminator fan 101]

I never meant to come across as snobbish and I apologize if I did. I would buy 3 sets of wave one if it would help those numbers. As this is the one I really want to see succeed. Please, everyone make it justifiable for a wave two and three.

[DARTHMARCO]

Oh, ok. Sorry I read it as his character was going to be hard to sign up like Phoebe Cates was with Gremlins. I hope you can get all characters, as this is one line I also want to be sure is complete before I commit to it.

I know Pop! Is reserved for that thread but do you have any info if Star Wars Lando Calrissian, Admiral Ackbar etc will be released from the Vault this year?

Have a great Toy Fair and 2016 Reis.

I'd just like to reiterate that this whole "I'm not going to commit to it unless they make everyone" thinking doesn't help insure that you'll get everyone. We release things in a series for several reasons, but one major reason is to see if the line has potential. If nobody buys series one until they know a series two is coming out, then there will never be a series two. It's like a new TV series; If nobody watches season one, then they're not going to make a season two. So just a friendly heads up, support has to start from the beginning.

Also, many people need to understand that ReAction was never meant to be an "all inclusive" line of toys. It was always meant to be a what if/homage sort of thing giving some of our favorite iconic characters the retro treatment. Sure, I'd love to go deep on so many of these lines, just like many of you, but the realities of the modern market and collector base are different than they were back in the day. Collectors cheery pick way more than they used to. Sadly, this isn't Kenner going deep on Star Wars figures in 1978. Oh, how I wish it was, though!

If only there is a Conan ReAction figure I will support it 150%, hoping for more characters. Thank you Mr. Reis for your answers and creating ReAction figures.

Can you answer me this question:
Will Toy Fair 2016 show all of the ReAction lines that will be available throughout 2016? If you cannot answer this question I will understand.

No, we won't be announcing everything at Toy Fair, but you'll get to see at least one new line. And it's a biggie!

[redmao]

Yeah, I don't care if Conan is alone in his line, I'm getting that figure and probably a second one to play in the tub, because we all remember when Conan was stuck in bubbles and had to fight the Adventure People divers...

Only 1 new line ( Any single figures as well or only figures from said line?

[Terminator fan 101]

A biggie.... Any hints...is it a personal favorite like Conan or something?

[6rick6]

https://www.instagram.com/originalfunko/ Sneek Peeks. The GOT 3 3/4 look amazing.

[Terminator fan 101]

Whoa, just noticed the Ripley in Powerloader in that link. Nice.

[Omegacity]

Aside from Game of Thrones and a couple Aliens characters is that it this year for Reaction?

[Otter]

"Aside from"...

That's so funny. These are exactly what, and everything, I wanted to see. (Although, to be honest I was also hoping for some colonial marines.)

Funko just launched Toy Fair 2016 from a non-event (except for the NECA Henson Donatello) to a full-blown, "how am I gonna convince my wife" experinece, for me.

Where can I read more about these figures?

[Omegacity]

Not too sure why it's funny.
Last year we got Jaws, Fifth Element, Big Trouble in a Little China, Star Trek, the Flash, Arrow and more.
As good as Game of Thrones is it feels underwhelming.
All other Funko properties got huge attention.
Reaction seems to be a bit forgotten.
What happened to Conan and Dark Crystal?

[Otter]

Sorry... it's only funny to me personally, since this is exactly what I wanted. I definitely feel for you, and totally understand how the reveal could be underwhelming given the plethora of product we are used to seeing. Maybe there is more to be unveiled tomorrow. But that's really more of a SDCC thing isn't it?

Reis, can you tell us if the Powerloader and Queen (she is SO cute!) be sold in a box set, or separately?

[Gillman74]

I do hope more might be revealed throughout the weekend or in the full catalog. Love the pics of the new Nightmare Before Christmas line. I was always hoping for a Pumpkin King Jack and I am so happy to see him. I think the disappointment over the idea that only Aliens and Nightmare being shown stems from the fact that I built up my hopes based on the incredible reveals from last year and the mentions throughout the year during each big con that Toy Fair would be the one to wait for. I actually feel bad, in a way, for being disappointed because I have never seen a company interact with its fans the way Funko and especially Reis does. I guess I have just become greedy for this excellent line since it has really struck such an emotional chord with me. I really hope it continues and other favorites like The Lost Boys or Twin Peaks might some day get this awesome treatment.

What happened to Conan and Dark Crystal?

Reis mentioned that Dark Crystal and Conan isn't nailed down just yet. They will probably be revealed later in the year (i was hoping for Conan to be there). I think we're so used to ReAction getting lots of reveals in the last couple of years that when it doesn't happen it seems like its being less caterted for.

[6rick6]

Aside from Game of Thrones and a couple Aliens characters is that it this year for Reaction?

In the catalogue there are pics of A Nightmare Before Christmas "second wave" of figures. Plus the game of Thrones aren't even ReAction, they are a seperate line of figures. I agree with you, I am pretty underwhelmed by everything so far. It seems that they are trying to re-solicit the older figures instead of coming out with newer ones.

[skinny_puppy123]

Yeah, are the Aliens ReActions the only reveals we're getting at Toy Fair this year?

Are there ReAction Figures in the new catalogue at Toy Fair?

[Omegacity]

With only a smattering of new 3 3/4 Star Wars figures, no news on Micronauts, only a few Marvel figures in this scale and no GIJoe to be seen for 2016 Reaction was the big hope for this scale of action figures. It's incredibly disappointing that there seems to be only one or two new lines.

[Terminator fan 101]

I would have loved some artwork of Conan, Dark Crystal and even the Golden Girls! to fill out the ReAction section. But, for whatever reason they decided not to.
Here's hoping we get a few more reveals towards SDCC

[Gillman74]

The only new reactions are the Ripley and Queen boxed set from Aliens and the new Nightmare Before Christmas line. They look amazing. New figures are Santa Jack, Pumpkin King Jack (yes!), clown with tear away face, wolf man, Oogie Boogie, and Shock (still no Lock).

[ausbot]

I like the MOTU line and thinking possible repaints woulf be Mossman, Faker, and Skunkor.

Super 7 not reaction related I believe. Also Hellboy, Megaman and Street Fighter by them. Cool.

[ReisOBrien]

Not at all! It's just all that we could get done by the time Toy Fair snuck up on us.

What happened to Conan and Dark Crystal?

Yeah, ReAction is calming down a bit for 2016, but I've made this announcement previously. Fewer releases, better spaced out, with more attention paid to each release. Just because you don't see it in our Toy Fair booth, doesn't mean it's not happening.

Box set.

[ReisOBrien]

For the record, those are not ReAction and not from Funko. Super7 is producing these on their own.

It's not that we "decided" not to show anything, we just couldn't. We've been pretty swamped with a lot of projects. Don't worry, more stuff is coming in 2016.

[JokersWild]

Just wanted to say that I saw the GoT Action Figure line in person at Toy Fair this past weekend and I love them. The detail and articulation are great, as well as the wall playset. Super excited for these!

[rylos-22]

spaced out,like one reveal a month,every other month? Can u give a rough estimate of spacing?

Have you guys thought of a name for the 9 poa figures yet or are they just to be referred to as 3 3/4 figures??

Box set.

Sold! (Who am I kidding? I still would have bought them if they were sold separately.) That is so cool. Thanks Reis.

I'm all in with your Game of Thrones figures too. Can't wait for these and to see the next "theme" (assuming sales go as planned).

[ReisOBrien]

I can't say right now, sorry. The main thing we're trying to avoid is the issue we ran into last year of several lines hitting all at once, and then a dry spell for a few months.

Right now we're just calling them Funko Action Figures, because we didn't think they needed a name, but now I'm seeing how people are having a hard time referring to them. I'll bring it up to the boss.

Funktion figures: funko plus action

[the_Archivist]

So for the Game of Thrones action figures is there an expected release date and price for those? Also are you guys planning on waiting until the first wave sells before starting in on further waves? The heavy focus on the North seems like you have more up your gauntlets already than just this first wave.

Also do you plan on having lots of retailer and convention exclusives for the Action figures like you did with ReAction?

[DARTHMARCO]

Mr. Reis,

I am going to buy three sets of the new Game of Thrones 3 3/4 inch action figures including the set. They look really great and happy that finally a line with a little more articulation is available in the 3 3/4 inch size. Please let me know if they have a release date and price for those wonderful figures/set? My daughter will like a Daenerys figure, if you could let me know if she will be available in the future?

Also my daughter asked about the Dark Crystal figures and I told her that they will show them at Toy Fair, but that was not the case. Is Dark Crystal figures coming out this year? Will they show pictures of them later on in the year??

Now a question from me, will Conan figures be shown later this year and will they come out this year?

Thank you Mr. Reis for answering our questions.

I don't have an exact release date for the GoT figures and pricing is still in the works. Yes, we'll probably see how sales go before jumping into it full force. We focused on the Wall so that all of the releases in the first wave felt cohesive. Then we'll probably move on to other themes, with playsets and hopefully large creatures that fit each theme.

No plans at the moment for exclusives for the 9POA line, but that could change if they prove popular.

Sorry, no release date or price point at this time. Yes, Dark Crystal are happening in 2016, we just ran out of time. We'll release images as soon as they are ready. Conan also.

I was hoping they would be available soon. I guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Also, if someone were to purchase 3 or 4 The Wall playsets do they connect to make a larger wall? Because you know i hear its supposed to be kinda long.
