Always wished for more male character rock candy.

Particularly a Draco Malfoy would be swell

Was literally going through my totes in the basement yesterday and came across a full one of rock candy :( would have loved them to make more Disney Villains and Princesses. Another line I absolutely loved that didn’t do well, so sad

Maybe they did discontinue the whole line. I’d imagine they would trickle them in here and there.

Rock candy was a good line I think the old Funko Vinyl Idolz was a better line. I know they are siilare to the Funko gold the I wish the old line would make a return.

I really liked the style of Rock Candy lines, so I'm bummed they were phased out. There are still a few I was missing, but they are harder to find on the secondary market and some have really grown in price.

Rock Candy is still to this day my favorite Funko line. I really wish it continues as it was the best use of female characters.

I concur I think the Quality was very good and they sculpts were well done.



I viewed them as a nice half way between a pop and something like an action figure, or a more affordable Bowen or kotobukiya figure lol



Have you checked out the Vinyl Gold line? I am wondering how they compare


I feel Funko Gold is going after a different market than the Rock Candy line. Funko Gold has a pretty standard stance for all molds, and is very chiseled. The Rock Candy line has more smooth lines and the stances are not always the same for every person/character. After the Pop! line, Rock Candy is my fave from Funko.

I thought these figures were great and really enjoyed their size, style, and detail. I wish Funko gave things a bit more of a chance before cancelling them.

I have quite a few of them and want many more. They are a good size and the detail is great. Didn't really like when they downsized the boxes, but makes sense, I guess on paper

I didn’t either! That comfy princess collection was probably the best of the Rock Candy line. It would be great if Funko would do a “should have been made” exclusive line up of all the characters that were left out of sets. Unrealistic, but I can dream…

I personally didn't like how they would display. You couldn't really stack them like you can with pops, but the details were much better with Rock Candies than Pop.

I think it would be really cool if they took the models from Rock Candy and put them in Sodas :) The current Soda model is cool for some characters, but the RC model would look a lot better for others in my opinion.

IF they did them again, it might be cool to do the barbie characters from the new movie that's coming out . . . that might work really well since there are already a bunch of Barbie rock candies . . .

Another great line by Funko that met its demise way too soon.
