Where are the new PSH lines!

[luckysalt]

First post, long time lurker, huge PSH collector from UK.

Have to say I'm a bit concerned about the line.

MOTU, the latest set was announced in January and nothing has been announced since. Isn't it about time we had some new PSH announced! I hope Funko isn't giving up on the line, there's been tons of Mystery Mini's announced and now they seem to be moving onto Five Star, are they struggling for appropriate licenses that they haven't already done?

I wish with Adventure Time about to end they would have done an Adventure Time line to tie in with it.
I also feel WWE ones the set is limitless, but maybe the original set didn't do the numbers they wanted?

I see some potential lines in PSH mentioned on here and I think there's no way they will sell.

Be nice to hear from Funko that they still have plans for this line past MOTU.

[dexiesmom]

I love the PSHs!! Especially the Disney ones, there are so many more characters they could do. I hope they aren't going to stop the line.

[NightmareMermaid]

I'm concerned as well. I'm hoping for a Looney Tunes set and of course more Disney.

[Munkyss4]

Definitely need more psh. Haven’t heard or seen anything new
Besides the one you mention “MOTU”
Would like to see some anime

[RobinBear177]

More PSH would be cool

[Classier]

Aw man. It didn’t occur to me how bad PSH have been doing recently. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

[Valde]

Where’s DC and Marvel series 2? I feel like those were pretty popular.

If you saw a post I made a few days ago, a lot of places have most series on clearance. So not sure what the fate is. I like them but not the price tag for a blind chance at getting a figure I want. I'm also wondering if the whole blind bag thing has run it's course or if maybe "regulations" are coming into play in certain countries. If you are a gamer you know the scrutiny "loot boxes" and "customization loot" items are getting due to the "gambling" mentality behind them. Teaching kids at a young age to spend money in hopes of getting the thing they want randomly is being frowned upon. Wondering if Funko is going to stop all together, if you look at the new Mickey Anniversary Mini's the package appears to allow you to see the figures now instead of being a "mystery". They did the same thing with Dorbz back when they released originally were going to be a blind box style (see the Ultron box) before putting the window in.

Actually, while there are still minis listed in the pipeline, there hasn't been as much news for those either in recent times. The last announced set was over a month ago. It feels like they might be slowing down with those in general.

I hope not. It would be silly if they were to stop or forced to stop producing those. Surprise toys have been around for decades. Cracker Jack being one of the oldest ones, along with blind baseball and other trading card packs. Nowadays, surprise balls and whatnot are very popular with children (L.O.L. Surprise, Twozies, 5Surprise, Poopeez, etc), and I personally don't believe it promotes 'gambling' at least no more than any sort of other mystery or blind element. A lot of people enjoy surprises, and opening a blind box/bag is half the fun.

I agree that the $4-$6 (depending on the store) price point for them doesn't seem like a payoff or worth it for most people, unless they want the whole set. Even with some sets I only try to get the ones I want since they are a bit pricey.
I have been wondering about how they are going to package things as well with the Mickey 90th minis coming out. I think if they window packages with everything, it might stop 1/72 chases since you can see them now. Which would be nice for when you want to complete a whole set.

Oh I agree it's one of the things I hate about the argument in the video game loot boxes. It's really the same premise, but some countries are really pushing it as a type of gambling since they are blind change of getting the in-game loot you want.

Yeah I went to the girls section of Walmart the other day with my girlfriend and was shocked how much floor space is now taken up with "blind" toy types where you hope you get what you want and have to keep coming back for more if you don't. Again my biggest gripe on all of these is the cost, especially if your a parent. So that plays a factor too, when it's for kids the sales are based on parents buying habits, for things like Funko blind packs while usually considered toys they are more of a collectors market, example Lego Minifigs too most are bought by collectors not parents for their kids.

[GettingSodas]

Fundays is just around the corner...

[mactds]

You're right, it has been awhile.

Hoping 90s Nick, Looney Tunes, and Ad Icons are in the works. Wow, exiting myself with the PSH potential of those lines.

[GettingSodas]

No Pints from Fundays :/

[lastmidnight]

I’m going to be really sad if PSH end up retiring. Absolutely adore this line! But no news from Fundays and no new series since MOTU is not a good sign

[Popfanatics]

Does anyone remember if there were any more in the pipeline after motu?

[lastmidnight]

Does anyone remember if there were any more in the pipeline after motu?

I don’t think so. That was the last one the announced. And I still see the Horror and Sci-Fi sets on shelves, so that’s not a good sign

[Karubin]

Yeah me too!! I love PSH!!

[TheFunkoSpdr]

I feel like they should've done at least some PSH for Ant Man and the Wasp. If not a full blindbag set at least the three pack with one mystery.

[TheFunkoSpdr]

No Pints from Fundays :/

I believe that PSH where listed under what we're getting for Fortnite at the Fundays reveal? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I feel like the best middle ground was the retro mystery mini set, as you pretty much kept a small 1/2 mystery, but you pretty much knew what you were getting.

[GettingSodas]

No you’re right we are getting Fortnite pints but I’m not really interested I collect very few of the pints lines.

[Popfanatics]

Considering how much yoko seems to love the psh...I’m hoping they do something special soon.

[bakivali]

I was hoping for more news about PSH and minis from Fundays. Maybe they will announce more and were just focusing on the Pop and new lines (5 star) more.

[GetLostYouPsycho]

Ad Icon PSH would be amazing. I'd love to have them in mystery mini and PSH format.

[GetLostYouPsycho]

I hope we see more PSH lines. I'd love a second series of the Horror and Nightmare Before Christmas ones. Plus, I'd love to see completely new lines, too. I want Game of Thrones PSH just so I can have the dragons and dire wolves in pint format.

[Pryde72]

I’m hoping for a regular DC and Marvel heroes line.

Batman and Spider-Man are awesome, but they just leave me wanting more

[Shalee04]

More Disney please

[wmwadeii]

Looks like we are getting a First 10 Years Marvel set. Oddly the characters really don't "symbolize" the first 10 Years unless there will be some exclusives for specific stores. All seem to be 1/12.

Captain America, Hulk, Thor (Ragnarok), Loki, Ultron, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Dr. Strange, Shuri, Thanos, Red Skull, Hella

Actually I love the 1/12....just have to find a buddy to share a case with

Hehe you would say that

I’m still trying to locate a couple of series 2 Disney

[toro423]

I love PSH! Hope this line keeps going.

It’s Iron Man Mark II, not Ultron.
I don’t know what you mean when you say that it doesn’t represent the first 10 years of Marvel Studios, I’d say it does that pretty well.

It is? Hmm... I didn't zoom in, so I guess the chest detail would give a better view, but it definitely looks like Ultron from a casual glance, and while the Mark II is probably a pretty iconic version, surely having Ultron in there and having the more distinctive (to non-Marvel super fans) makes a lot of sense? Not that they're short on bad guys, it's actually a pretty good selection, really... I love Hela (and she will be one of my must haves), but I'd put Ultron above her in the grand scheme of "First Ten Years" but that's just my 2c

I’ll have to take a closer look. I thought it was Iron man too but yay for more psh’s!!

The Marvel 10 year PSH are so great. Just when you think PSH are taking a break, they pull me back in.
