I can't wait for more. There are so many characters that Funko could do. I can't wait to see the rumor Wano commons.

I love anime and I am happy that funko is pumping them out. When I started collecting ib 2016-2017 they barely had any.

I believe a big part of it is that anime itself is more popular than ever. Which makes me super happy because I’m old and can remember when we had so little choices and it was hard just to find any. Nowadays there is so many amazing shows to pick from.

Definitely psyched! I’ll be getting the whole squad when they hit stores.
For Tokyo Revengers, I just hope they make a Baji. He’s like Tokyo Revengers’ Rengoku.

I don’t see why not for Revengers. I think first wave would be takemichi, hina, Mikey and draken

Then for wave 2 give us the toman founders

I’m more into the older anime so I’m kinda safe from the newly releases. But I still have to go back and finish up the Sailor Moon line, that’s going the costly as I’m missing the variations. I do like Pokémon if you count that as anime and am resisting to not get into it though.

Facts.

It’s crazy how much time has gone by and clearly the molds are just more detailed. Determining which ones of course.

It was also hard to find older pieces on shelves since HT didn’t handle them so well. It was rare as it is to find some mint boxes too.

Truly an underrated set. More so anime too. I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more.

One piece just took off. It’s truly mesmerizing and still impossible to obtain some of them. But again.. I’ll stick with what I like and be happy with it. Like the pop rides.

I wonder if there’ll be anymore ..?

Excellent observation— yeah. I’m curious how else they’ll achieve. It was impossible to be successful and obtaining any of them. Floating away.. literally lol

I was able to get Merry with some help but missed Sunny. Any specific ships you’d like to see in the future? I’m a Buggy man so I’d gladly take a Bigtop and even though it’s unnamed I wouldn’t mind Garp’s dog ship.

Agreed! I was so happy One Piece won the Crunchyroll Award this year for best continuing series, well deserved! I'm glad Funko is not holding back with all the variants we're getting!



Really love the Samurai series of them coming out. Really awesome detail especially on Brook.

Right?! That was a set I had to complete. Especially the outers. I even made a custom Diana using the POP! Yourself pet cat sculpt.

Part of me wishes I picked up one-to-rock-one-to-stock for all of them because my boxes weren't in the greatest condition.

I really hope they expand on the line because I would want more of the villains (Mistress 9, Galaxia, etc.) and the Starlights. Chibi Usa with Helios/Pegasus Ridez would be cool too :P
