Forgive my Random Thoughts-style post here:
I couldn't help myself... I bought the Queen of Hearts Teacup Ride that's been out for a while and pre-ordered the Cheshire Cat PIAB exclusive of him standing on his head. They’re both just so adorable, I know I'm blowing $$$ and I’m going down the drain here. I didn't get the teacup one because it's WDW related--I have little association with the parks (sadly)--but because I associate teacups with the movie. It looks sort of like how the QoH appears in the last few minutes when they're all chasing Alice (except the Queen is riding a leaf and several characters there instead of a cup, I believe?). While I do have the old QoH where she’s angry already, it was of her with her sleeves rolled up and holding a flamingo, so this one is a little more “any situation” than that.
I remember waiting for a new (better) Cheshire Cat for years and suggested the Cat variant of him on his head for so long (along with the idea of him disappearing mid-way, like the translucent pop that’s out now, too), so it'd feel wrong if I didn't buy it... The two pops are different enough, I guess it’s not so bad. I know eventually they’ll make one of him on the Queen of Hearts' head, lol—so this may not be my last Cheshire Cat even. And eventually they'll make a variant of the White Rabbit with the trumpet and heart uniform. Part of me wants the Tweedles, too...; I've seen the 2-pack appear in the Amazon Warehouse lately, I'm waiting for a good price ($12 for two would be great, for example). The inevitable Pop Moment of Alice at the table with Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse will complete the cast (since I've skipped the March Hare and Mad Hatter pops in the past)--they may even make that moment the VHS cover pop, perhaps. At least I remember the cover being that moment. I suppose a Card Soldier or two.
My sister bought the Pride Ursula POP for me as a gift a few weeks ago! I'm still a little disappointed the new Pride pops aren't the transcluent kind like they started out as, but it is cute. To me, the way they're doing them now, they look more like tie-dye than PRIDE.
So now, it's just the Ursula Cart, Ursula pop (that hasn't been shown yet), Hades Throne, Scar Throne w/ Hyenas, and Yzma Throne w/ Kronk pops I'm waiting on. The more I think of it, I'll pass on that Hades w/ P&P. I suppose I'm right to think the Scar with Hyenas pop will be considered a "throne" pop if it's the moment I was thinking of before (the end of "Be Prepared" with the Nazi-esque marching below him). I know they'll eventually make Gaston on his huge chair, but I had the thought that they could easily do one of Facilier at his Tarot card table with the high-backed chair he sits in.
The Ursula pop that's in shadow for now has me wondering... You can see the little grey shapes around the pops to tell what objects there will be or whatever (like there being a wall behind Facilier to hold the shadow, for example). She has something weirdly shaped around her, I'm not sure what it is? And something around where her right hand is. Perhaps it's her vanity and she's holding a lipstick tube? I hope so. Anyway, I was thinking about the Ursula Throne pop of her in front of her cauldron and, well... I do like it, but I just know they're going to do another version of her at her cauldron eventually where she's in orange glow and holding the butterfly that she uses to transform into Vanessa.
)--so Ursula only of those ones for me. I'm sure over time they'll make additions for the train--like Hades, Yzma, Facilier, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, Chernabog, etc.
Btw, I don't know if it was ever posted here, there was some Scar pop recently called a "Specialty Pop." I didn't think it looked that great, but that's just me. I do regret not getting the BoxLunch pop of him with the green smoke though.
I knew the Olaf was coming since I just bought it from Warehouse, but the Queen was a nice surprise. All the throne pops so far have looked great. The lack of Maleficent's staff with her throne pop is the only criticism I have for any of them, they turned out great.
I was glad SDCC only had that one Disney pop I didn't want. I'm hoping there's nothing major at the NYCC event either for that reason...
I was so close to free shipping, I threw sitting Stitch on there. I wanted at least one Stitch pop to sit opposite Lilo, and this one sort of reminds me of the clipart of Stitch, so... 
Even though it's probably a little higher on Funko.com that it would be at Amazon, that's still better than wasting $7 on shipping.
