Re: Funko Pops

The third and last pop for the day is one that I needed to display next to my replica Medal of Yavin.

This pop is fantastic, I really like the detailing they put into her cloak so it's see through and not solid. The way the medal is separate from the rest of the figure gives it so much more depth. If it was up against her dress it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. Her hair also looks amazing and totally reminds me of the Queen Amidala pop.

I also appreciate that Funko have been releasing more pops with different coloured bases.....its so much better than the boring black most of them come with.

I saw this Funko 'Something Wild' card game on Mighty Ape and thought it would be a good addition to the collection.

I really like the mini-pop that comes included in the game but the big selling point was the character art on the cards

I'm not 100% sure of how the games played though lol.

I purchased a General Grevious pop and he's a fantastic figure.

He's a lot heavier than I thought he would be and the detailing is amazing. I really like the 'washed out' paint application that Funko added to his armour....it does a great job showing that Grevious has been through some battles. The four light sabers look so good and his stance really suits the characters personality.

Funko have put a lot of effort into this figure and it shows once he's in hand.

While I'm waiting for my mountain of Funko pre-orders to arrive I thought it'd be a good time to replace a pop that arrived damaged a few years ago.....Han Solo in Snow Gear from The Force Awakens.

I really like this figure and think that his jacket and gloves look great. I have a few younger versions of Han but this is my only older version.

He looks great displayed beside the snow gear younger version from Solo. I like the pops with movie titles on them as well.

I purchased the concept Yoda pop and he's a lot better than I thought he would be.

I'm so glad they didn't go with this version in Empire but as a figure he's pretty cool. I like the amount of wrinkles on his face and the body is pretty close to the screen used Yoda, just a bit taller and skinneir.

His hair is a major part of this Funko and I would have preferred if it didn't cover as much of his head as it does but I understand its a part of the concept.

I finally tracked down a pop I've needed for my Rogue One collection.....Bistan.

He's an amazing looking figure, the detailing is really good and you can tell Funko put a lot of effort into his sculpt.

The 2016 New York Comic Con stickers colours stand out well on the front of the box.

The brown tones of his face really make his orange eyes stand out and his space suit has so many details that you have to take the time to have a decent look to see them all.

There's no way you could be disappointed with this Funko....now I just have to work out if he goes beside the other Rogue One pops or Wicket lol.

I popped into the Warehouse and they had a few more Star Wars pops.....two I really needed.

The first is the Grogu with butterfly. I like this pop a lot because I really think it shows his child-like side from the show.

This figure is a lot like the other pops of Grogu and that's why I didn't buy him earlier but once I saw him in hand with the butterfly I had to grab him.

The second one is Grogu with Chowder Squid.

I thought this would be just a Grogu head with a Chowder Squid attached but looking closely you can see his eyes are half closed so it's a new sculpt which is pretty cool.

His body is nearly exactly the same as every other Grogu pop except for his little spoon.

Love it! Thanks for your posts on your new arrivals. Always great to see close-ups of pops I don't (yet) have.

Is there a Star Wars Funko Pop Anonymous group that we can register with? I swear I'm not a collector and yet I received 3 today from Mighty Ape on sale for $10 each. Concept Series Stormtrooper, Ahsoka with sabers, and a Mandalorian Dark Trooper.

My non collection is 66 strong. And no sign of stopping..... I NEED Grogu and the butterfly!

I know how you feel lol

My Funkos started out with a Jyn Erso pop that was on sale and I only brought it because I thought it was a bargain....I said I'd only get that one but 155 figures later I'm still finding cool ones I have to have. I have three turning up from Mighty Ape in the next few days so I'm looking forward to that.
