I would say very, very good. As you said it is not numbered, and it is kind of typical of the exclusives that are shared (as opposed to something like Indiana Jones from SDCC which wasn't numbered or shared, but that made sense because it's kind of a Disney thing).

I wsa trying to round out my GF's collection of them and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find that one anywhere, strange that it has a later release date!

Really? I don't understand that attitude, does Funko have to make sure that we all like every single Pop they make? That would be silly. I'm not into Marvel but there are TONS of people that are, so I applaud Funko for giving those fans what they love! Funko makes plenty of stuff for all of us, so why complain about one particular line that we don't personally like, it's a ridiculous attitude. Plus I can assure you I am no fan of Strawberry Shortcake, but I AM a fan of the Pops! They're really nicely designed and have a ton of detail, and they smell really good which is a very cool feature!

By the way, welcome to the forums :-)

I don't remember where I saw Orange's release date originally, but if you look her up on Amazon it says release date is October 15.
Really holding out hope that we will see the NYCC set in stores!
Yes, I have been reading the Reddit Funko page, and saw lots of comments on other groups bashing this entire wave. I don't get it either, and it seems lately that in every aspect of life you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. I just buy what I like, and if others don't like it, that is fine with me, and I don't bash what others like....I just figure if I like things everyone else doesn't my changes of getting it are that much greater haha

Sigh. Seriously bummed about that. Oh well.

Finally something from NYCC I really want! Indy and Qui Gon pls!

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 2:59 pm

I thought Qui Gon had shown up on a list of things we're not meant to know about.

But this was a pretty awesome wave! I loved Behemoth and the reveal of the other TNBC pops too. I want to know who was on the back of the Qui Gon box though that Yoko couldn't reveal. :-k

The Indy Ride looked awesome! I think I'm a little safer from NYCC than I was from SDCC at least.

Well its confirmed the cereal dorbz and ride are TT exclusives....insert sad face.

From the ebay prices we'll have to pay for Qui-Gon? If so, me too. ](*,)

Postby **Strending625** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:04 pm

Why did they have to make Qui-gon a 2000 piece! ](*,)

Postby **POPtor WHO** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:05 pm

ahhh, why did Qui-Gon have to be a numbered piece?!

Postby **nyel24** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:06 pm

Omg. That Indiana jones ride. Also love the barbosa and qui Jon. Definitely the best wave

Just saw he was only 2000. That's just cruel.

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:09 pm

I'm also really surprised there was no GOT piece this year???

Postby **kevin87** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:09 pm

I was dreading today's because it was supposed to be Disney themed, but then they did me a solid and didn't put any franchise I care about Pop wise. Thanks, Funko, now I can focus on those blasted Scott Pilgrim 1000s. ](*,)

Postby **Strending625** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:13 pm

Hopefully Indy's ride will be semi easy to find

Postby **0ShadowStories** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:13 pm

Funko must hate prequel fans lol

Would love those two rides but I know I won't get them since Gemini would be the only option and I can't afford the $100 each for that

Postby **KMFH11** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:15 pm

I need everything in today's wave lol

Star Wars and the Freddy Ride is a MUST! at the very least.

Postby **blockablelaser** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:16 pm

Freddy I neeeeeeed you!

Postby **KMFH11** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:17 pm

At least QuI Gon is le 2000 and not le 500. Still going to probably be around 100 on ebay though. That's probably my best shot at buying Him.

Postby **Libertyroxx** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:19 pm

Welp, don't know about you guys, but that last wave did me in. I surrender Funko! :mir1:

Postby **RedPats** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:19 pm

Really hoping I get into the booth early enough to get Qui-Gon! He's the only one out of the 5 waves that is a must buy for me!

Postby **michellepop** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:20 pm

Wow what a great last wave!! Need Freddy and Indy!!!

Yeah then I won't be getting him. No way can I justify that. So frustrating, I really wanted him.

Postby **dboneo** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:21 pm

Aww man wish Qui Gon wasnt a numbered well guess ill have to go the sleazebay route for him

Postby **Fawny** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:23 pm

That Freddy is an awesome ride for NY! Probably won't be getting him since he's so limited.

But phew! Only two Pops from the entire week that I need to get, and they'll be shared. I'm glad my wallet can take a rest after SDCC.

Happy Con to all those going to NYCC! :freddy2:

Postby **treswright** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:24 pm

Yeah this wave was a wallet-killer for me too, I mean the Rides are a given but I need everything else in this wave too. UUUUUUUGH!

I am pretty sure that right after SDCC a Funatic suggested a taxi-themed Freddy's Ride would be cool for NYCC, if so, good call!

That Indy's Ride, WOW. I wasn't expecting that, and am stunned at how amazing it looks!

For those that missed the feed, Yoko said that...

TOY TOKYO's ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE THIS WEEKEND.

So it's not completely over yet!

Postby **0ShadowStories** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:26 pm

Yoko made it sound like the Freddy ride might go up on the shop

Postby **JoshChaos** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:30 pm

And Qui Gon remains elusive.

Really only 2 or 3 that I MUST have. Well, minus Qui Gon, which makes it 1 or 2.

Of course, I said the same thing about SDCC, yet I ended up getting like 15.

Postby **DocRamon** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:35 pm

seriously... yoko admits that "you guys have been asking for this one for a long time" and they’ve teased out prequel characters as being made due to requests and popular demand. then they make qui gon a numbered item? i really do want to hear someone from funko -- not armchair experts on this board or any other -- explain the logic in that.

Postby **anm00727** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 3:36 pm

I need that qui gonna and indy ride! I really hope I get selected for the raffle now!

What confuses me is apparently qui gon was on the gamestop list of pre-orders. Wonder what's up. Same pop? Different? Error?
