Funko Pop forever?

[gumbyack454]

Do you guys think that the Pops will stick around as long as the wobblers or die out like the mighty muggs did?

[Death Proof]

they will last longer than mighty muggs..

[Jango_Fresh]

Already have put out way more figures than mighty muggs.

[gumbyack454]

I hope they last a long long time

[edorice]

Pops will have a long and strong existence.

[FunkoNewb]

With the licenses and characters funko had at their disposal, pops will be around for a long time.

[singerguy04]

Well, I'm assuming that Pop has brought a lot of new fans (like myself) to funko since they started popping up. Every time I check out with one at a B&N or Target, the cashier's always make a comment about how they've picked one up or they are planning on it because they think they are so cute.

By contrast, I hadn't even really noticed Mighty Muggs until I joined this forum.

they will last longer than mighty muggs..

That's a given. They turn two this year.

[ShoMeNodder]

I think they will last a long, long time...their size and detail is so darned cute, easy to display...they aren't like the funko force or nodniks or funkovision.

[batmanfunatic92]

It depends all on profit. As long as Funko and the retailers are reaping huge profits from them, they will keep making them.

[gumbyack454]

Yea true it's weird how the local supermarkets only carry the same ones for ever.

[jake1977jr]

I would say for a while.The thing with Mighty Muggs was they had a limited selection.They didn't have any DC,which is why I quit collecting them a couple of years ago.Funko has all kinds of variety,DC,Marvel,Disney,TV & Movie/Video Game/Cereal characters,Star Wars,Muppets,Sports,Musicians,and so on.

[Cal78]

With all the detail of the figures versus a round ball for a head as in the mighty mugs, I see these being around for a long time, and then as long as Disney is selling them like hoecakes, you know they'll be around for a while.

[FunkoNewb]

Disney sells a LOT of hoecakes. So pop will be around for a long time.

[Pumpkin King]

They still make Mighty Muggs...hello?

[gumbyack454]

do they?

[jake1977jr]

Disney sells a LOT of hoecakes. So pop will be around for a long time.

Your comment made me bust out laughing.I can't stop laughing now.Good one!!!

[DocRamon]

yeah, mighty muggs are still around... though not so mighty anymore. pretty much everything coming out at this point are "mini muggs." there's a whole bunch of new avengers stuff out on shelves now. but other than that, the 2 most recent things have been convention exclusives.

[FunkoNewb]

Yup. From what I've read on their forum they are just banking on con exclusives for the full size pieces. However, they are some super sweet exclusives. Removable masks are awesome.

[DocRamon]

i started on mighty muggs from the very beginning, and have every single one. but when they died off it sorta made me hesitant to start up something else. that's why i was late getting on the pop train. and of course, by the time i did start, i'd missed out on some really great ones -- monsters being the best example -- that are now expensive. doh.

[gumbyack454]

yea I have most of the original Mighty Muggs... That is what made me ask this question. But I have to say Funko Pops and 1,000x better

[Choche]

They are better than Mighty Muggs, definitely. I used to collect MMs, but they were really hard to find (just like every cool toy), I did get a Venom when it was a very rare Mugg, though.

Now I'm starting to think about selling most of my MMs so there's more space for Funkos.

[gumbyack454]

Yea Venom was the one I made sure to get.
