Pops That Made You Go "Huh??"

[StarWarsFunkoGirl]

I didn't get why the royal family got the Funko treatment
not a fan of the 8 bit but it makes sense to me

[monktoast]

No offense intended to any designers or funko or fans.

SteWie pop...just looks...bad

Buffy vampire slayer...doesn't really have the right Buffy feel to it

Malificent diamond glitter...I like it but it looks more like..sugar or salt then glitzy diamonds

[Classier]

Mr. Krabs every day. Minecraft too.

I would have said Minecraft but my boy LOVES the Minecraft one's.

Glad to hear that there’s somebody out there in the world who likes them. I just can’t get over how creepy a lot of them look.

[RSVHockeyDude]

8bit, and Duck Dynasty

[Riddler3]

Arseface, only because I don't watch the show and have no idea what that was about when I first ran into it.

[Cnd pops RN]

Agree about the 8 but. And the royals. Do not understand.

Oh yeah my son and I hunted the whole set including exclusives.

I'm trying to hide the fact that there are exclusives and chases from mine! HAHA

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

[OriginalDuffy]

8 bit stranger things, I love stranger things but these just don’t work. The only 8 bit pop id buy is dig dug

[bspears82]

Those 8 bit pops would have yo be at the top of my list

[dustindibari]

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.

[wolfy233]

Kinda have to agree on this.

[Bigchawn64]

8-bit Pops! Every single one of them! I know people like them, but I do not

Nooooooo. They look awesome!! Lol

[kingdomcustoms]

There's only a few I can think of; Gemini Zodiac (would have been amazing if done similarly to the Tattler Twins Pop), the action-pose pink ranger (Head is way too square), and the new Transparent Master Chief - from the glams it looks very milky which is disappointing.
However, they're all good in their own right and I think the majority who dislike a Pop feel that way because it's not something they're interested in.

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!

[froyomorada]

Minecraft and Duck Dynasty

[FunkoLoco]

8bits, minecraft, transformers that you can't transform. haha.

[brooklyn_geek]

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.

[Annie]

Well someone has to like them

[Jezter]

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.

[MacKazoo]

Big Mouth and Duck Dynasty

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 Head]

Arseface, only because I don't watch the show and have no idea what that was about when I first ran into it.

Oh my god, Arseface is one of the best pops ever! I was so happy when they made him! Go watch the show!!

[margarethk]

Doomsday. That pop is so hideous

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.

[jarroyo2491]

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 .

[Gooker1]

Duck Dynasty pops

Why?!?!?!?!

[brooklyn_geek]

No offense intended to any designers or funko or fans.

SteWie pop...just looks...bad

This used to be my go to for "pops I don't like" type threads...when I first saw him at toy fair years ago I thought, Stewie has cornrows...

[acbernardez]

I didn't get why the royal family got the Funko treatment

I firmly agree to both of these. I'm sure there's a fan-base for everything, but I guess those just don't appeal very much to me.

I completely agree with you guys on these ones. No hate on those, just definitely not my thing. To each their own

[superkawaii]

Duck Dynasty pops

I second this

Third

Fourth!

[Queen V]

Duck Dynasty pops

I see these all the time at 5 below and in my head like ummm why

[Suprmike6]

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.

[joecolt]

All 3 Doghans from Valerian. Why, why and why

[Bigchawn64]

Trueee! They take me back to the old school video game days

[Nemesis989]

all the 8-bit pops!!!! wth?!!!!

Agreed 100%. They’re just so bad..

I also hated the 8bit pops, but in some cases they work, like 8bit nes Jason.
As mentioned above, the royal family.....I don't get why anyone would want them...but thats just me

[racheva]

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.

Ahh Duck Dynasty Pops are great...for customs for your friends
