Is black light dead?

[lcarus83]

I really liked the Alice in Wonderland and TMNT black light Soda/Pops. By the way...still holding out hope we get another wave of TMNT black light POPS. We got what...Bebop, Rocksteady, and Casey Jones? Unless I missed some stuff. I would love a black light 4 pack of the turtles. All bright glowing green with their respective color.

[DrunkoPop]

Ive grown to love Black Light Pops. The very first wave I was like. Meh….

Yeah, I didn’t really have any interest until I was lucky enough to get in to FunDays 2022, and two of the team prizes were black light Freddys. Those Pops were so good it basically turned me into a BL fan.

I know the feeling, I was there and I was so excited for those Black Light Freddy’s and the Mascots were straight

Have you seen the glow on the Black light Buccaneer from last years fundays?

[sealordbrian]

It seems to Pop off (no pun intended) every so often. We had that push in the summer of 2024 that seems to spark some interest but I think the insanity of that hype from a few years ago is over. That's not to say, that creative and unique ones won't sell. But to see anything with blacklight on it sell, in my opinion that is over.

[Guyhoff]

At this point I only have 4 black light pops left. I’m kinda over it.

It was definitely a novelty for some!

[Amalgamade]

I would love to see a blacklight jinx and vi or something like that soon.

[chester]

I like black light POP's but i wish they wouldn't try to do Pop's that don't make sense in black light.

Have you seen the glow on the Black light Buccaneer from last years fundays?

Yes! I was there and ended up on the kraken team but a buddy gave me his Buccaneer since he didn’t want it.

[CAHLEB]

Funko definitely killed blacklight. I'm like 95% blacklight complete and will continue to purchase them but they don't excite me the way they used to.

[Dv8sian]

I still love the blacklight pops I only collect the Marvel ones. As long as they spread out the release im collect them

I liked the new daredevil ones target had but it seemed like as soon as they came out they hit the sale wall

Kraken by far had the best glow IMO but I was solely obsessed with the Buccaneer.

Oh yeah loved the glow was kinda of upset the at home had error glows but it didn’t have the detail of the event one.

I was Team Buccaneer and loved that one. Was Glow and Blacklight essentially.

That is the team I picked for the at home box! Really like the blacklight so I don’t think it’s “dead” maybe a little over done

Seems like Funko can never do things in moderation. I remember when they came out with the Gold Chrome Vegeta and that was literally the must have pop of the year until everything got the chrome treatment and kind of killed it.

kind of funny I thought of the same example.. I loved the chrome vegeta and then boom a red one and a blue one... and chrome every other pop you could think of

Yah I think they overdid it with the chrome line and applying it to every major franchise over and over again (i.e. DC/Batman, Star Wars/Boba Fett, Marvel/Thanos). They've definitely taken a more cautious approach lately with their Blacklight line and not trying to repeat the same mistake imo.

I nearly almost became a Kraken but it all worked out at the end and I became a Buccaneer.

OH PLEASE NOT THE CHROME TREATMENT

[conventiongeek]

As with anything Funko does, when it's popular... they tend to saturate the market. Then the at item dies somewhat... so yes...black light is dying.

What's next?

[SweetNSpicy]

I still like my black light Alice in Wonderland line. It makes sense to me!

[Relinquish]

i just think they should of did blacklight for characters that made sense (that alice example is great) when they deviate from that it kind of makes it feel cheaper albeit i do love how blacklight looks so it's tough for me. i kind of enjoy what others are sleeping on too ha.

Exactly. Just like the “Art Series” what ever happened to those…

OMG reading through his I was thinkiing about the chrome vegeta too. that was borderline too much and then finally Thanos put the nail in the coffin of chrome

That’s how it was for the eating noodles line too. Got kind of out of control

[zonkttc]

Got to admit that due to the changes in my housing the blacklight effect is not as great or appealing to me anymore.

Yeah, 100% agree it does take away from the appeal. But, yeah, I can't look at chrome pops anymore after they did the Marvel line.

They blinded you too? I thought I was the only one.

It had to stop over here as well
