Coming in August!
Maybe we thought the Power Rangers got their years of fame in the 90s, but they are experiencing quite the resurgence in 2016. The first issue of BOOM! Studios comic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reached 75,000 in initial orders, and now the Pink Ranger has her own series too. Last month brought the announcement that Lionsgate wants to make seven films in the near future, with the first one slated for a March 2017 release. So, what does all this success mean? Funko POP! Vinyl’s of course!
I was very excited to see the Rangers in POP! form, but surely missed the Pink Ranger’s presence. Here’s Funko’s description:
“The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are ready for battle! Between the Green Ranger’s martial arts skills, Black Ranger’s strength, Yellow Ranger’s quick wit, and Blue Ranger’s intelligence, there’s nothing they can’t overcome!”
So, where is Kimberly Hart? I feel an exclusive release coming on…
For now, check out the Rangers below and prepare for their arrival this August.
Power Rangers Get New Comics, New Films, And Of Course Some POP! Vinyls
It started out as an app, but has quickly grown into a massively popular brand. I’m talking about Tsum Tsum’s from Disney. Remember Beanie Babies? Yeah, everyone was really into them. I’m hesitant to mention Pokemon cards, because that’s actually still a thing, though the motivation is the same. Collectibles that are branching out into different forms. Something about these Tsum Tsum’s made me think of Beanie Babies. Perhaps it’s their cuddly nature? The fad that lasted throughout the late 90s quickly faded, and we were all shoving them into storage containers in the hopes that one day they’d be worth millions.
Disney’s Tsum Tsum’s feel a lot like that. A few years ago they were gung ho about promoting their Vinylmation lines, which were essentially blind boxes in Disney fashion. They still exist, but aren’t as heavily promoted. The line sits underneath the Tsum Tsum name, which rest under Disney’s “Collectibles” tab. What’s interesting is, Funko has managed to infiltrate the “vinyl” side of things and therefore casts a shadow on what used to be a very popular thing for Disney. Enter Tsum Tsums.
What are they? They’re stackable stuffed animals that come in all Disney-esque forms, and because Disney owns Marvel and Star Wars, they’re included too. The latest draw for me was the news of their Alice in Wonderland collection. They tend to make these type of releases on “Tsum Tsum Tuesdays.”
But trust me, that’s not all. The brand extends to kitchenware, t-shirts, and more. Check it all out for yourself here.
Are Tsum Tsum’s The Next Beanie Babies?
