I'm okay with it, but I did expect more. Kinda hoping there's a surprise second pop in the box like the Wonder Woman one had.
So, I was into collecting some of these, mainly DBZ, Disney, and horror icons. Moved in with my girlfriend a year and a half ago, and since we kinda mixed finances I let the habit go because she said I should spend my money on channeling my fandoms in more "practical"/"useful" ways, or whatever. She specifically thought the Pops were pointless. I showed her the LOTR set that's coming out. She has preordered them all, and ordered Smaug and some of the Hobbit ones as well. Also the whole Kingdom Hearts set. Also the Bojack Horsemen set. Also the Twin Peaks set. IN A WEEK. She literally now owns more than me even though she only has 4 in her current possession. The shame in her face when she gets a new one in the mail brings me sweet, malicious joy.
I think there's licensing issues for the Square characters, because they have their own line of action figures, etc. that they may see as competition when it comes to the Pop figures
Gotcha. Even weirder given how little merch there is for Kingdom Hearts over here. We made the rounds to ThinkGeek/Hot Topic/GameStop/Spencers when the the Remix came out for PS4 and found literally nothing outside of the Pops and a couple of shirts.
I think it's more that Kingdom Hearts isn't really at the peak of its popularity right now - during around the time KH2 was out Hot Topic had a ton of stuff like shirts and Keyblade keychains. You'll probably get a lot more merch around the time of KH3 when SE pushes the franchise a lot again. I'd love Square to give in and let Pop make some stuff, my wallet shudders at the thought of how much I'd spend on Final Fantasy Pops.
So when I'm 60, then. Sweet, I'll put aside some of that pension! For real. Especially since the chibi-izations from the Theatrhythm games are almost literally Funko Pops already lol
PX Exclusive SDCC annouced as 6" Megazord. Which is cool but also makes me more mad that the voltron pop is just a small one.
Never been too big on Dorbz (only have Spider-Man and the ones that came with the Collector Corps boxes) but I did manage to order the Carnage exclusive from Wal-Mart.
