Arseface, only because I don't watch the show and have no idea what that was about when I first ran into it.
Life is full of questions isn't it? Though, naturally I prefer to think of them as Riddles.

If an IYO SKY funko/proto shows hit me up ASAP!

My son's new favorite is Porg which I also maybe might have suggested for this list.

I think it depends on the character in question. If it was something that was originally done in an 8 bit format then I am all for it, but there are exceptions like the Entertainment Earth 8 bit Alien exclusive. If someone hadn't posted the picture that they used to create it, I would have never guessed what the design was based off of.

Agree on the Pink Ranger..I wonder why they didn't just use the old head sculpts for the new action poses. They would've looked a lot better IMO


Personally I much prefer the new white and red it's just the pink that I don't like; not very interested in the next lot of Rangers if the pink looks like that again!

I think part of the issue with this discussion is that I think some are genuinely afraid to, at least on this forum openly say anything negative about things Funko puts out. No one wants to be the negative Nancy that spills the beans on something a bunch of us might be thinking. I'm not a fan of half the lines tbh...but I hold my tongue unless it's really atrocious to me. 8-bit as many have said hold no appeal for me. And I like the old school wobbles better...trying to make them look more like pops wasn't my thing.

Obviously this subject is well...subjective, and people's opinions are just that.

That said, I may not favor how certain ones look, or couldn't care less about movies I don't like or tv shows that have no appeal, but I'll never...ever...understand the creation of...

Ducky Dynasty. I just don't get that one. And I realllllly hope they avoid the rest of the reality shows, especially that one useless family we all know. HA.

My issue with the next lot, if the mock ups are accurate, is the pink ranger is the only one shown without a weapon. Shes just...Jumping? IDK but I'm hoping they add the bow, if not, it'll look odd

The lack of a bow, if they are the final product, means I'll be skipping the set and just getting the white ranger - as it looks awesome.

The diamond collection & 8 bit pops just doesn’t catch my eye. Even when they make a pop forum of something that’s hot, I still can’t get into it.

True words.

You have an unpopular opinion and get swarmed by a bunch of Gate keepers.

Anyways..it's best to just say what ya feel in a nicest way possible.

For instance..I'm in agreement about the 8 bit thing. I do like a few but it seems they went all in on the idea lol.

No specific Pop!s to add to the list, but I always question when they do TV Show or Movie characters who are just regular people. No identifying outfit or anything to identify them outside of the box telling you who it is.

These might actually be the most challenging pops to make, from the designer's perspective. There are a lot of iconic TV and movie characters who are just regular people. They have to somehow create a distinctive figure without being able to change much. It's interesting to see which ones fail and which ones succeed. I think the Golden Girls pops were very well done and are very obviously them. But for instance the Friends line, I think the girls look obviously like them, but the boys do not. It's really a mixed bag.

You know I love my Friends pops but really the only distinguishing characteristics between Joey and Chandler are the other accessories they're carrying. :-/
