    Funko took over the vinyl world.

    I actually changed my mind a few times about Funko in the last few years.

    When pops first came out I liked the simple design.

    Then they grew. And grew... and took over more and more real estate in comic book and toy shops. I started thinking they were a monster.

    But being a giant success doesn't actually make them into a monster.
    We've all had a lot of time to spend with with pops and mystery minis and the likes.
    I thinks their products have gotten more diverse and interesting and they hire great designers.

    Now I think they didn't actually take a bite out of the designer world at all. Theur rise was in parallel to the dive in designer toys and rising manufacturing prices but not tied to it - nobody's actuallt buying Funko products instead of designer toys. It's a very different audience and as one dwindled the other grew. These are younger pop culture fans.
    I'm actually hoping young Funko collectors would become the designer toys collectors of the future.

    totally agree with LS - it's its own audience for sure. i don't have any hate for funko pops, BUT i just wish sites that sold them put them in their own category. when i shop online i like to browse through all the vinyl/"designer" toys, but hate sifting past like a hundred pop figures. and of course, it's always disappointing for me when i think a shop has toys and it ends up being only pops, but i also understand you need to cater to what's popular and going to sell. (i.e., i don't think they are taking the place of other toys.) i just miss being able to buy toys that i like in brick & mortar shops.

    i think mainly the reason i don't care for them personally is that i don't like pop culture pieces or those modeled after people. i just prefer weird little creatures and animals...this is pretty much true for me in real life too ;p

    hahah :)

    oh, POPs should totally have their own category in online shops. I really don't believe they belong in the designer toy section. That should include original designs - or in some cases specific artists interpretations of pop culture creation.

    One of the reasons I *love* going to Tokyo (besides literally everything) is that they have actual toy shops where you can buy Japanese designer toys. I also don't mind the robots Miyazaki stuff and insane creatures ;-D

    me too - to be honest i didn't even watch the video or read any information about the phone, i just immediately grabbed one of the sheep, haha! (i would have gotten both colorways but $80 in one go is out of my toy budget.)

    where can you buy these? cardboard spaceship has them featured on their homepage but bafflingly/frustratingly there is no info on if or when they'll be for sale and clicking the image does nothing. i know they were at sdcc but when can i get some online? hopefully someone can help, i've been dying to get some!

    I know how you feel- I checked cardboard spaceship website every day, obsesively. I finally decided to send them a message, and they responded that the series will be hitting stores early september.

    still no luck finding these guys. are they just going to stay a previous sdcc release? cardboard spaceship still has this set as their main image on their homepage but doesn't respond to emails. this colorway set is the leprechaun edition, btw, since i see the other set does use 'carnival edition' to categorize it.

    I will edit the series, thank you for the info.
    If I manage the find the "carnival edition" tomorrow at DesignerCon I might sell one or two "leprechaun" ones- this one and maybe a Pippet. If you are interested, send me an email at ioanas_ro@yahoo.com />
    Also, if you prefer sealed boxes, I can try look for you at DCon tomorrow- let me know tonight.

    why are these listed as plush if they're made out of plastic? or is there more than the photo lets on?

    this guy arrived in the mail today, my very first milton! finally! i love him, but i have to say i was a little surprised at how small he is. i guess i thought they'd be wider or have a bit more heft* to them. i still want to create a milton army, but the original $25-35 super7 asks for these seems...a little steep.

    *a bad word to describe a plastic toy maybe, but i couldn't think of how to word it better.

    ps, the seller i bought this from listed it as a SDCC figure. (doesn't matter to me personally whether it is or isn't, but if it is, that's usually something that goes in the title or description, no?)

    "Some time ago we produced a special limited edition of the Giver figures, but we weren't totally happy with the final product. Instead of tossing them into a bin, we thought it would be cool to strip them down and prime them up, ready for the growing customizing crowd! Head and wings remove easily for painting. Each figure is professionally primed with a thick white base, ready to paint or draw on."

    i just got this guy in the mail today. he is so cool. but he still comes in the freezer burn colorway box, and you can see the blue under the primer in the crook of the arm and especially in the eye sockets.

    i say this not because i have issues with either, but because it does make me long for what he could have been.

    i do love me a good blank toy though. not to customize, i like them just as is.
