Banksy Pops!

These are pretty cool!

If I recall Banksy has been in legal battles with Brandalised for awhile now.

Postby **Fugly16** » Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:01 pm

Just gonna say it, to me it seems it is a terrible idea to partner with Brandalised. Banksy ripped Guess a new one for doing it a few months back.

wish they where just a normal pop

I am torn on these. I dig the idea but it's odd seeing Banksy translated to the pop aesthetic and knowing the Brandalised controversy just adds another layer to that.

I’m so in on these. Huge fan.

Despite the brandalised controversy, I’m not a fan of these. Would’ve preferred the girl with the red heart shaped balloon. :dontknow:

Going to say that these are pretty cool for the people that will buy them. It’s going to be a pass for me though.

Love Banksy but I do find these odd

Postby **zachattack** » Wed Jan 18, 2023 10:27 pm

Enjoy banksy's art but these just seem off and doesn't seem like something he'd do..

I second this, love the girl with heart shaped balloon! tbh, I didn’t even know these previewed were related to Banksy.

I agree with your thinking. Also, is the market really that big for Banksy items that aren't original?

Postby **Ronnie18** » Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:04 am

I was tempted to get the balloon girl one. But without knowing banksy’s involvement, I didn’t feel right buying one.

I'm in the same boat. The designs are very cool and truth be told, I really want these but it's strange to feel excited that these exist and also not sure if they should exist. I lean more towards the former though.

I will admit though, if a flower thrower pop is ever officially created, I'll be first in line to buy it.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Banksy would dunk on Funko like he did on GUESS.

Cool, hope they dont shred when you buy them lol

Let the controversy begin!!

Ngl I been following Banksy before this and these are a must have for me. Can’t turn down the art pops. I hope they do con exclusives that depict artist famous paintings like Vincent van Gogh; Banksy, Ef Dot, Saladeen, Deekay Motion - it would be fire

Postby **Mawhonic7** » Sat Feb 04, 2023 5:24 pm

I really like the robot but this article makes me feel like Brandalised isn’t something I would want to support.

I agree. He always makes a statement with his pieces. I don’t feel he would do this either.

Such a niche line!

Postby **christophercarrion** » Thu Feb 09, 2023 6:16 pm

Omg this is real? I thought the ones I saw were customs lol

. I need these. I don’t think banksy would actually approve but I’ll still get them lol

Postby **rexflexall** » Fri Feb 10, 2023 1:09 pm

I do like balloon girl though!

Same. Even though I love Banksy's artwork, I'm not sure I want them in Pop form.

Balloon girl looks great!

What's with all these releases in big boxes/backgrounds? I saw a few at Hot Topic and FYE the other day but can't imagine adding any to my collection, the "deluxe" boxes take up more space than I'd already like. That said, if they ever do a V for Vendetta background/big box I'll still have to get it. lol

It's definitely a space constraint for me, but there's a few I don't mind getting!

Well yeah, doesn't seem like it would be a smart move.
