Fantastik Plastik VS SPastik Plastik
My question to everyone out there is:
Are Fantastiks considered to be the same as Spastiks??
Or
Are they two separate toys??

I don't know this for sure, but doesn't Brian afford Wilke and Rob some level of creative input on all of Funko's products?? I believe that's what makes all of their products so special and uniquely Funko. I don't think that they simply copy a character from a corporate manual. For instance....I've seen many Tony the Tiger items over the years, but Funko's is a little different and a lot better than all the rest - it seems to take the corporate symbol to another level.

I think everyone means, Rob and Wilky's own creations. They didn't make Tony the Tiger or any of the others, at least I don't think so. :?

Yea, I got that, but didn't they also have a creative hand in the appearance of the commercial products?? Anyone know?

Re: Fantastik Plastik VS SPastik Plastik
This thread has started a long time ago, 2006, but just have the same question now. Are all Fantastik Plastiks licensed? I thought Sike-O-Shriner is original Funko design, yet it is labeled as Fantastik Plastik and not Spastik Plastik.

There was some controversy with the word Spastik (c instead of k) overseas and I believe we will no longer see that term being used. A quick Google search will give you the answer for the slang term that caused this issue.

Seems odd that it would take this long to get resolved.

I think Funko Originals would have been better.

10+ years ago Funko wasn't a big name so that's probably why. Also your casual Funko collector probably has no clue about the Funko original characters and weren't even aware of the name until Funko started making Pop versions and posting on social media. It's also an international term that I had never heard of and I'm sure people at Funko had no clue either. But once complaints start rolling in it's hard to ignore and that's probably why the change just now occurred.

Re: Fantastik Plastik VS SPastik Plastik
Just wait until people start having an issue with the word plastic, since it is bad for the environment after all. Honestly, I'm surprised with Funko being up near Seattle that they can still use that word. Give it a year or two, the line will be changed to be called Fantastik Drastik.

Yes, because taking issue with a derogatory term used for people with cerebral palsy (or other disabilities in general) is the same as the name of a material.

Have you ever used the words: idiot, moron, or imbecile? If so, look up their history and origin. Cheers, mate.

There’s a very clear distinction between Funkos and Funko’s!

Lol Reminds me of the explanation Vanilla Ice gave when he said his music wasn't a copy of David Bowie's.
