Funko's Impopsters Line Re-imagines Batman's Rogues as the Dark Knight

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Funko's latest Pop figure line, Impopsters (I'm also not sure about that brand name, but what do I know?). On one hand, putting some (slightly) new spins on characters that have been around for decades is cool, and it lets Funko get a little creative with the standard form bodies they've been using to create hundreds and hundreds of collectibles. But I'm also not wild about just Batmanning the Dark Knight's rogues gallery. The concept certainly makes sense though. People love Batman and his big bads, so why not combine them into one thing?

Impopsters is just the latest in a long line of Funko's attempts to shake up the game with miniature, budget vinyl collectibles. While I wonder if this was the series of collectibles Funko alluded to in the most recent Marvel Collector Corps, I'm definitely wondering what the Marvel versions of these are going to look like. Oh, that's right. Impopsters won't just be limited this Batman series. Funko apparently has designs on the rest of the DCU and Marvel Comics, too.

616ee00cc560d976eb55e9f9c2502ead.755x1000x1

We’ve heard that Funko are to be producing POP Vinyl figures based on the Scott Pilgrim comic books.

Well, the more detailed word is that, for San Diego Comic Con, amongst their many exclusives figures, will be Sex Bob-Omb Funko Pops from the popular Scott Pilgrim Series of books. The SDCC Exclusive will include all members of the band. Funko is also planning to release some extra characters during the show…

Here are a few custom made unofficial versions to illustrate the article…

Harley Quinn As Batgirl? Funko’s Upcoming Impopsters Series Mixes Villains & Heroes

Just when I think there aren’t enough Batman shaped POP! Vinyls…Funko comes up with something even better! It’s time to mix up the heroes and villains in these new designs called, “Impopsters!”

You can find designs of The Penguin, The Riddler, Scarecrow, and Two-Face on the classic Batman POP! design. But what really caught my eye was the Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy designs on Batgirl!

It will be interesting to see what they cook up Marvel wise for this series…just imagine all of the varieties of Impopsters…

The Impopsters will have a staggered release. Head on over to Funko’s blog for exact dates.

The Suicide Squad Takes Over The Next DC Legion Of Collectors Box

While we all wait in anticipation for how crazy Jared Leto’s Joker will be, Funko is cooking up some Suicide Squad fun in their next DC Legion of Collectors Box…

When I was at Toy Fair this past February, I caught a glimpse of the Funko POP! collection. While they had a tiny May 2016 release date, it’s unclear whether or not the POP!s will actually be releasing. However, I’m sure it will be sometime around the movie release date at the latest. The POP! Vinyl series looks fantastic, and it would be great to see an exclusive design of one of them in the subscription box.

To grab your own subscription visit DC Legion of Collectors. Suicide Squad releases on August 5, 2016.

What Makes Funko’s Rock Candy Figures So Special?

The first time I saw one of Funko’s Rock Candy figures was at Toy Fair this past winter. I found myself standing their staring at the adorable design. While most of Funko’s figures air on the cute side of art, there was something special about the Rock Candy design. Somehow they manage to be both pretty and cute. Not leaning too heavily towards a different character shape all together like the POP! Vinyl’s do, these collectibles keep their shape with a cartoon vibe. Eyes almost as big as some lovable manga characters, positioned in proud stances, you’ll notice many admirable female characters amongst the collection. In fact, the Batgirl of Burnside figure has been wildly popular.

The last DC Legion of Collectors box included Super Girl, and of course, it was an exclusive design of her figure. While the one Funko normally sells stands with her fists ready for action, this one stood with her hands on her hips.

There are even Barbie collectibles…

I think it’s great that Funko has so many different designs amongst their brand. There’s always going to be something for everyone. What do you think about the Rock Candy design?
