Re: Funko Pops

I brought the Spring Convention Yoda mainly for the packaging....a lot of Funko versions of different characters look very similar so it's nice to get a unique box.

Once I got the pop out though he's way better than I thought he would be, the different shades of green look amazing and he'd be my favourite version of Yoda.

I really like the fluro green convention sticker.

I had to grab the metallic gold Darth Vader pop as I already have Luke and Leia in the same finish.

I really like these figures, they don't reflect as much as the chrome versions so they look a lot better on display and the boxes are incredible. The black with gold trim looks fantastic sitting next to a normal Funko box.

It gives them the look of something special.

I don't think I would have brought this figure if it didn't have the glow in the dark feature because it's so much like the earlier pop where he's flying with The Child.

I really like the Funko Insider Club sticker on the front of the box.....I've not gotten a pop with that before so it's a great addition to the collection.

The flames do look cool and I really like how it's incorporated into the figure instead of just sitting on a black base.

Mighty Ape had the Bespin 3 Pack on sale for a crazy $20, there's no way I could pass up that bargain.

Lobot is incredible, his headgear has really great detailing and looks fantastic. The Ugnaught pop would be my favourite figure of the three, his sculpt really suits the character and he keeps the Funko look while keeping true to the on screen version. The Bespin guard is a great addition to the set and a figure I needed but not sure I would have tracked him down if he wasn't in the set.

I got that one too! $20 was too good to pass on. Totally under-rated figures.

I really like the gold version pops that Funko have been releasing, not only do I think the figures themselves look amazing but the black boxes are a favourite of mine.

This Wondrous Convention Limited Edition Stormtrooper is another great addition to the collection. I was looking at purchasing the larger white Trooper with the blue cog on his helmet but the blue was a little overpowering for my liking. The gold on gold version is way better (in my opinion) because it stands out but doesn't take away from the details on the pop.

I absolutely love this pop.....I've been wanting it for a while and spotted it on Trade Me for a great price so I had to grab it.

The Tauntaun is one of my favourite alien creatures so I'm so happy to own a Funko version, I've had the Han Solo version in my Mighty Ape watchlist for ages but I just didn't want to have a dead Tauntaun on display.

The snow base and insert card look great and really add to the 'cold' feel of the pop.....Luke has good detail and looks awesome sitting in the saddle.

All in all there's nothing I can fault this Funko on, it looked fantastic online and is even better in hand.

Not being a huge Anthony Daniels fan I don't buy much 3PO merchandise at all but after I read he hates the suit with the red arm it's given me a whole new figure to collect lol.

I really like the red arm version of 3PO (not just because AD hates it lol) because it adds a little bit more character to him. This pop is great and the red arm having a dull finish while the rest of the pop is a more 'shiny' colour makes it stand out and gives it a 'used' feel.

The inner clam is the old style with no plugs to push in to keep the figure a bit more secure....I thought this maybe because this is just a repaint of the earlier C-3PO Funko but he's got a different skinnier kind of sculpt.

Great to see the random backing card has popped up again hahaha not sure 3PO would be happy with the First Order Cog.

After I said I wouldn't buy the Han - Tauntaun Funko I saw that Toyco had them on sale for 50% off......even I couldn't pass that up lol.

The Pop itself is pretty cool (except for the being dead part) the base looks fantastic and Han is a great figure. The Tauntaun has a lot of detailing and I'm glad they didn't go with the open stomach.

I really like the scene of Hoth on the inner card and the rest of the packaging looks awesome, it's the only figure I currently own with blacked out Funkos on the back.
