Will Funko Rewind survive?

[L3g3nD33]

Seems people like the packaging more than the actual figures themselves. I don't think they will last and will be discontinued in the next 1-2 years.

I agree with this. The packaging is freaking awesome. The figures...meh.

I know with Funko restructuring according to all the articles. Even though they just Released Funko Rewinds, do you think it will be a line that they keep?

Me personally I collect all the Freddy ones, so I hope they keep it going.

Personally I feel like they should be a comic con / event only thing to keep it exciting.

[Richard822]

Probably not, funko will try to save money so they’ll cut lines the don’t make as much money as Funko pop’s or funko soda’s

[Tusken]

As much as I would like for it to survive I don't think it was a major hit. Sodas did well and continue to do well unlike the rewind. Good idea though. If they want it to survive then you must find what people what when it comes to characters.

[nascar246788]

With the need to cut down on lines and with Soda being much more popular these are probably going the way of the dorbz, neat concept though.

Yeah I agree. I think the only hope these had to survive is if these pulled people off soda line. I don't think it did. I think the soda line is still a lot more popular.

[FireEmblemZack]

New ones coming out like He-Man and Lady from Lady and the Tramp excite me!
Really feeling the itch for more convention rewinds It was fun getting all the SDCC ones (minus the Freddy robot ughhhh forgot I still need that one)

[joeb0011]

I personally like the packaging for then what is inside... reminds me of the days when i had shelves of VHS tapes haha

[FuegoGlorious]

Ive tried to collect these but tbh its tough to not associate them with a certain childrens play figure. That being said I'll probably hold my freddies but not really get any more.

[FunkoMatt857697]

I kind of wish they would do a run of 80s movies for this series. Like the most popular movies that were out when VHS tapes were in.

I totally agree, I think that would be pretty popular with a lot of collectors!

[chester]

Not a fan of the rewinds The figures are way too simple.I don't even really care for the packaging. JMO

[fieldsy32]

I think they are near but don’t think they’ll last much longer.

[kidleaderkty]

I'd like to see more rewinds, I like them.

[Universalman]

I like the concept, but agree the figures are too simple.

[nostaljay]

The box is nice ... Even then, they dont look "Funko" to me, if i were an average joe I wouldn't associate this product with them

[VickiBabchin]

I saw them in the store like once a few months ago and haven't seen them anywhere since.

[FlinksPoppinPics]

I always see a handful of these pop up in my local Targets, but they're always scattered around the toy and funko sections. It's a shame to see the product fall off so quickly, but something tells me that Rewind may have been tied to the 25th anniversary as a special run type of deal. Regardless, I did like the Freddy and SDCC 2023 rewind figures they produced, and enjoyed the rewind section of their SDCC booth with all of the parody VHS covers in it.

[jibcollect]

I like them too!

Those were great at sdcc, along with the booth theme. I enjoyed that, would like to see more of these.

[Richard822]

They’ll die out, but it was a good experiment on their part

[Richard822]

I’m not collecting them personally - I already collect too much as it is

Me to

[CAHLEB]

I still have the Stitch rewind in my Box Lunch wishlist but I keep ignoring it .

[Greek187]

I’m or collecting them anymore tried it but nothing beat the pop!

[FunkoPDX]

I’m or collecting them anymore tried it but nothing beat the pop!

I bought a few of these at SDCC last year. I like how they look on a book shelf.
Honestly haven't opened them up yet. So might have a chase in one of them. Hopefully all of them

I hope it sticks around. I think it would be cool see them just come out with all the retro movies and such.
Maybe a Horror theme of the first VHS covers of Freddy, Jason, Chucky and such.

They Booth theme was awesome.

My favorite pin from Funko was the Blockbuster Rewind one. Reminds me of my days going to Blockbuster and Hollywood Video.

[supertoygiant]

I still buy them when I see them. I just purchase the Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and got the chase!

[Chingy]

I like the concept behind the line, but I'm not sure the long-term viability of it. The reason? Because I hadn't really thought about the line for a long time until I saw this thread.

[Jessedtaylor77]

Love the idea of them. But my wallet doesn’t

[Hopesdenial]

I like them but it seems like we're not hearing a lot about them anymore either.

[Libertyroxx]

I have a number of them and generally like them. Especially the Freddy's from SDCC last year. Don't know how well the line is selling but I keep my eyes peeled for new ones I find interesting.

[PhoenixForce]

I don't really care for them ... should they make X-Men characters, I may change my mind!!

I like that idea of keeping them comic con / event but I hope they do continue with them.

They were out of that pin every time I finally was able to get into the booth.

I actually got mine on Mercari as a set.

Got into Blockbuster booth early and they were out of any pins too.

Getting pins has become an enjoyable quest now.

[movieman1981]

Realistically, it probably won't last. I think the only line that has had any longish life other than Pop is Mystery Mini and even then the releases aren't as often.

Having to fight for marketshare with Pop and Soda seems like a rough prospect.

I hope Rewinds survive but no need for market saturation. Specific IPs and nostalgic lines. I do like the sauron and Stay puft, oh and The Crow

They are pretty fun to collect. I hope they continue to make them.

[thejosh2010]

Like some others have said Playmobil comes to mind

Those Playmobile figures were cool but definitely didn’t draw me in as much as these Rewinds!

I have enjoyed getting the pin, I didn’t realize they ran out of the pins so early.

[KelsoTastic]

Love the idea of them. But my wallet doesn’t

Especially when it comes to finding the chase.

I do like the rewinds and hope they stick around. Maybe just do limited runs and releases.
I like these on my wall.
