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. :-/


The fact that Rachel has The Rachel just makes me so very happy. Tho that was a dark time for those of us named Rachel lol

Agent 13 with the Civil War line. There is no reason that Pop should have been included in this line. I don’t think the majority of people would want one if it was free.

I was actually thinking of the Friends Pop!s when I wrote this. I do think it's interesting the way the Funko designers come up with little ways to distinguish ordinary looking Pop!s from all looking like each other.

The FNAF pops. I really do not get how that game is still popular. And it takes away the creepy, uncanny valley aspect they had in the game.

Are you just a fan of the actress or the character? I feel like she was the most minor character in any film ever to get the Pop! treatment

Both. I do wish she had gotten a bit more to do in both Winter Soldier and Civil War.

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.


I am a completest with that set since I'm a huge MMPR fan so I'll be getting it regardless but I am hopeful it'll be done right.

I second this. I like the 8 bits where there was a legitimate 8 bit game like dig dug or Friday the 13th.

Personally, that glitter Ursula made me say what the Funko is that.

For me, there are lots of things that Funko has released that aren’t for me. But as a general rule I don’t judge because there is clearly a subsection of collectors that those things DO appeal to. Who am I to judge?

And that’s precisely why we are all here. From the ridiculous to the sublime, Funko has made pops for all of us. I love early Hanna Barbera. Who makes anything HB? Funko does and chances are they have made an obscure favorite of yours.

Haha I agree, there are some pretty obscure Star Wars characters who got Popped. I think Star Wars collectors obsess over all characters though so its not as big of a deal when they get a Pop! for a character that doesn't do anything in the movies :D

I'd have to say FNAF too. I have never seen anyone pick it off the shelves.

Everytime there is a new wave of them, it's like saying "huh?" Then "huh?!" to "HUH?? Again?!" Now it's just "hu..hmmm.... don't understand it. Whatever..."
