Big Hero 6 Funko POP! Vinyls Baymax Glow-in-the-Dark Review

The buzz surrounding the summer blockbuster hit Guardians of the Galaxy movie hasn’t even had a chance to quiet down, but already it’s time for the next (and last) Marvel movie of 2014: Big Hero 6! I’m not even close to being all-in on Big Hero Six merch until I see the movie, but there was no way I could resist the Amazon exclusive Funko Glow-in-the-Dark Baymax POP! Vinyls figure, which is sure to be another fast sell-out and quick riser on the aftermarket. Is this super-sized Funko POP vinyl balloon man worth your shelf space?

Funko Dangerous Spider-Man Hikari Vinyl Figure Review & Photos

Dangerous Spider-Man Hikari Funko Vinyl Figure

If being a hardcore collector is akin to being an addict (and believe me, it sometimes feels like it is), then the latest form of “crack” to have me in its thralls is called “Funko Hikari”. The Japanese-inspired Funko Hikari Sofubi vinyl figures are way bigger and way more limited than Funko POP! Vinyls (with a way bigger price-tag to match). While Hikari only started to be released this summer, it’s definitely starting to catch on for Funko, and it’s about to become a whole lot more relevant for Marvel collectors, as the first Marvel Hikari was just released this month: Dangerous Spider-Man! Is this Spidey worth the “dangerous” investment he requires in both price and shelf space…?

Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man Vinyl Revealed!

Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man Figure LE 1500

Whenever there’s a slow Marvel toys news week, I know there’s one company I can count on almost without fail to give me something to talk about. And once again, Funko doesn’t disappoint me. Just one week after their LE 1000 Dangerous Spider-Man Hikari figure went up for order, another of the Funko Hikari Spider-Man vinyl figures has appeared for sale! For the moment you’ve got to order from Australia if you want this one, but I have a hunch that the Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man vinyl figure will be making his American debut shortly…

Funko Deadpool Wacky Wobbler Figure Released!

Posted on by October 22, 2014
Funko Wacky Wobblers Deadpool Figure Bobble-Head

In a world where many toy companies are showing off figures six months to a year (sometimes more) before those toys go up for sale, I’m always taken by surprise when Funko will pull something out of their hat and officially announce a new toy a couple of days before it’s supposed to be released. Generally these tend to be upcoming Marvel Funko POP! Vinyls, but this time the new Marvel figure comes from a less popular line: Wacky Wobblers Bobble-Heads. But hey, who better to get folks talking about a line than a Marvel character who won’t shut up: the Funko Deadpool Wacky Wobblers figure has now been released!

Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figure Up for Order! 11″ Tall!

Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figure

It was just a week ago that Funko “won” New York Comic Con 2014 for me when they showed off an entire display case filled with previously unannounced Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figures at the Toy Tokyo booth. Not wanting to wait too long to cash in on the hype and popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy, Funko has fast-tracked their super-sized 11″ Groot figure, and he’s now expected to arrive this winter: the limited edition Groot Funko Hikari figure is now up for order!

Funko Hikari Dangerous Spider-Man Vinyl Figure Released!

Dangerous Spider-Man Funko Hikari Barnes and Noble Exclusive

Back at San Diego Comic Con 2014, Funko shocked Marvel vinyl collectors’ wallets when they unexpectedly debuted a half-dozen super-sized 8-10″ Funko Hikari Spider-Man figures at the show. But other than the Blaze Spider-Man Hikari going up for order, we haven’t heard a peep about these since summer. At least, not until today! The exclusive Funko Hikari Dangerous Spider-Man figure is now up for order, but the most “dangerous” thing about it may be the price…

NYCC 2014 Funko Hikari Groot Figures Revealed!

Posted on by October 13, 2014

I had a terrible first hour and a half at New York Comic Con 2014 this year, as I immediately got into the Toy Tokyo line at show opening at noon. At 1:25, after 85 minutes and moving four steps forward, I flipped out and walked off.

BUT–!!

It was worth my meaningless hour and a half in line, because when storming off I caught sight of the just-revealed Funko Hikari Groot vinyl figures!

Funko Blue Stealth Iron Man POP Vinyl Exclusive Revealed!

Posted on by October 3, 2014
Funko Blue Stealth Iron Man POP Vinyls Exclusive

When I say that Funko loves exclusives, I really, really mean it. The chances of Funko not releasing or announcing a Funko exclusive of some sort in any given week are about equivocal to the chances of the world ceasing to spin. So another Marvel Funko POP! Vinyl exclusive for Comic Con is nothing to be astonished about. What will catch some people off-guard, however, is that the Funko Blue Stealth Iron Man POP! Vinyl is a 2014 Rhode Island Comic Con exclusive…

Comikaze Exclusive Funko GITD Storm & Unmasked Captain America!

Funko Comikaze Exclusive Unmasked Captain America POP Vinyl Figure

Funko didn’t get quite as much money from Marvel POP! Vinyls collectors at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 as they would have liked (with Flocked Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyl being the only SDCC 2014 Marvel POP Vinyls exclusive), but they’re making up for missed chances (and dollars!) on the fall 2014 convention circuit. A few weeks back the NYCC 2014 Funko Frost Giant Loki POP Vinyls debuted, and now the Comikaze 2014 exclusives have been announced: Funko POP Vinyls Glow-in-the-Dark Storm and Unmasked Captain America!

Funko Black & White Loki POP Vinyls Hot Topic Exclusive!

Posted on by September 19, 2014
Funko Loki Black and White POP Vinyls Exclusive Figure Hot Topic

Funko is the king of exclusive toys in 2014. There’s literally no question about it. Funko quite frankly produces more limited exclusives across their POP! Vinyls, Hikari and Mystery Mini figures in a single year than basically every other major toy company out there all put together. And oftentimes, I love Funko exclusives a whole lot more than I do their regular releases. But sometimes, Funko comes up with an exclusive that is just unspeakably lame. Coming this fall, it’s the second black-and-white Loki in under a year–the Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Black & White Loki POP! Vinyl!

Funko Deadpool X-Men Costume POP! Vinyl Revealed!

X-Men Deadpool Funko POP Vinyls Figure Revealed

How much Deadpool is too much Deadpool? You probably reach a saturation point where you’ve just plain had enough Deadpool–but I haven’t reached that point yet. And apparently, neither has Funko! Funko has decided to bring the Deadpool POP! Vinyl mold out of retirement (it was a short retirement), and add to the already double-digit list of Deadpool Funko POP Vinyls figures. In just one month, we can add to the Deadpool rainbow, as the blue-and-yellow Funko Deadpool X-Men Outfit POP! Vinyl figure is now available for order!

Frost Giant Loki Funko POP Vinyls Exclusive NYCC 2014

We’re just under a month away from New York Comic Con 2014 now–but you sure wouldn’t know it from the lack of any major Marvel NYCC 2014 exclusives being announced.

As usual, however, if there’s one company we can count on to deliver exclusives, it’s Funko! Today, Funko officially announced the two Marvel Funko POP! Vinyls Frost Giant Loki NYCC 2014 exclusive figures!

Funko X-Men POP Vinyls Revealed! Cyclops Storm Colossus!

Classic X-Men Funko POP Vinyls

I’m turning 29 today for the fourth time, and Funko is giving me exactly the Marvel toy news birthday present that I would wished for (presuming a new Bowen Designs Marvel contract wasn’t an option): a half-dozen new classic X-Men Funko POP! Vinyls figures are up for order! Astonishingly, the armada of Funko POP Vinyls figures released up until now contained only three X-Men characters among the hundreds and hundreds of different POP Vinyls out there. But come November 2014, the count is about to be tripled…

Funko Rocket Raccoon POP! Vinyls Review & Photos

Funko Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyl Figure Review

This has been an unusually quiet week for Marvel toy news, but that’s fine with me, as I’ve got a huge backlog of stuff to photograph and review. In fact, things have been so busy this summer that I never even got around to reviewing one of my favorite Funko figures of the entire year.

It’s the figure I liked so much, I bought it three times (once with flocked fur and once with an, uh, exclusive sticker): the Guardians of the Galaxy Funko POP! Vinyls Rocket Raccoon figure!

Funko Big Hero 6 POP Vinyls Figures Revealed & Photos!

Big Hero Six Funko POP Vinyl Figures

Anybody besides me who’s read every Big Hero 6 comic book every published–when they were published–raise your hands. Anybody? Anybody…? I didn’t think so. And if you haven’t read the original Big Hero Six comic books, be grateful, as you may not be quite as dubious about the massive departure Disney is taking from the source material for the upcoming Big Hero 6 movie as I am. But not everyone is as jaded as me–Funko has their confidence up high and has just put up for order a jam-packed series of seven Big Hero Six POP! Vinyls figures!
