Re: Funko POP! Disney

I finally got caught up on my pop list a couple of weeks back, really only waiting for the Headless Horseman to come in the mail now. I didn't like most of those first Encanto pops other than child!Mirabel and Alma, thankfully the variants they made of Bruno and Isabela (with the prophecy and cactus respectively) were a little better. I'm still waiting for them to make a better version of Mirabel in her basic outfit; I know one came with the Pop Town, but I really just wanted the town part, the pop wasn't that great. I would assume they're going to make Ultimate Princess pops of her, Raya, and Asha eventually? And I wonder what the next Pop Town will be, maybe Belle or Snow White?

I had finally got around to getting the UP versions of Anna and Elsa to go with the others. I might give in and buy Merida. :lol: The pop is nice and, besides, though she's PIXAR, I have a feeling even Anastasia will be a part of the line eventually. :P I picked up the new Aurora along with Phillip just because I wanted to have a version of her Briar Rose outfit that wasn't on the stand, so it would look like the other basic versions if I ever put them together on a shelf or something. I'll be waiting for a better version of the blue dress forever, I guess. :lol: And I got Daisy even though the pop's just okay... I really wanted it since she was the only one of the core characters left that I was missing.

Speaking of, I read that they're finally going to make Rabbit (Winnie the Pooh)! And I think another Tigger pop, I can't remember what else. I hope they make Owl, too, Rabbit and Owl were the two I'd been waiting on. I'm tempted by the Christopher Robin & Pooh pop, but I dunno... I feel like they'll make a better Pop Moment of the two eventually and I'll wait for that, I'd prefer to have one of them sitting on the hill or the log, for example.

So really just Rabbit, Prince Charming, Eilonwy, Gurgi, and the Goofy Movie pops to look forward to being revealed now. :)

You are right about Rabbit and Tigger!

Winnie The Pooh Gets a New Batch of Funko Pops

I gave in and bought from a 3rd party on Amazon the Loungefly TBC backpack. Money is super tight so I didn't get the wallet, too, like I usually do.

A couple months ago (I think Hot Topic) the Disney 100 Tiana/Naveen Movie Moment was in stock so I finally got that. The only Pop I feel I missed out on now is the Basil one; I think he's like $40 on Amazon? I do like the new Briar Rose Pop too. I thought they made her with the cottage but I don't see it on the Funko website so maybe it was a fever dream.

They are releasing really good stuff but I've the feeling that Funko Pop has lost popularity. I worked in a shop dedicated to them like I said before and people were crazy with all the news that they announced but in the last two years I've seen that people lost the interest for them. They also increased the price too much in Europe and maybe this is the decessive fact for people to stop collecting them.
I wanted a few of them like Peter Pan's mermaid or Wizard of Oz collection but to be honest I feel guilty thinkg about buying them because with this money I could get another things that I want more. In Spain a Funko POP! figurine is about 17€. It is like 20USD so buying a whole collection is really expensive.

Yeah, they've peaked a while ago as far as mass appeal, but I don't think they're going anywhere even if this is probably a point where they start to diminish back to a smaller size. For me, it was never a fad, so I'll still be collecting if they go back to being as small when they started. The only thing different about then from now is that you had to get things right away, there was no waiting time if you wanted to get things (well, unless you were willing to buy them at exorbitant prices second-hand, I mean).

The prices are sort of a hodgepodge depending on your timing and where you buy them. I get most of them between $6 and $12 these days. It's really only the exclusives and extra things (Towns, Moments, Thrones, etc.) that are higher, around $25 most of the time.

@blackcauldron85: I think I passed on Basil since I didn't like how it turned out; I only got Ratigan. Ones I missed out on were Prince John and Shere Khan, but now they've made Prince John again. I have no doubt they'll make Basil again one day, and the next one may even look better, sort of like what's happened with other pops like Goofy, Tigger, Peter Pan, and so on where the later pops looked nicer than the early ones.

In Spain the normal price is 16€. Sometimes you can find some of them for 10€ or less but they use to be characters that nobody want. Exclusive POP! use to be around 20 or 25€. Last month I saw Cinamoroll from Sanrio and it was really cute but very expensive due to the exclusivity.
When I worked at the shop my ex boss use to remove the chase one and sell them more expensive. He sold all the Eleven chase funko Pops from Stranger Things for more than 60€...

Some really good pops revealed--a Pop Town of Ursula's Lair!! (and the pop that comes with is pretty nice, too) and also Sultan Jafar! I've been looking forward to them making those two for a while. And they're finally doing Mother Gothel. And a new Yzma and Gaston. The Yzma pops have often turned out rough, so it's hard for me to get excited even though I think that's supposed to be the pink Empress outfit I was hoping they'd do.

Here are pics: https://comicbook.com/gear/news/funko-d ... exclusive/

I definitely want Jafar and Gothel. I really like the Yzma I already have. I should get Ursula (maybe I need to see it larger , but I love the Pop of her more than her lair) and Gaston, too.
