Stranger Things Action Figures Are On Their Way From Funko

Well, I knew these were coming. But they look awesome. Funko has announced their first (of many I hope) wave of action figures based on the Netflix series Stranger Things. From the Funko blog announcement:

From Netflix’s Original Series Stranger Things,
some of your favorite characters from Hawkins, Indiana
are joining the Funko Action Figure line!

Action Figures are arriving as 3-packs.
Each figure stands 3 ¾ tall and are fully articulated.

Pack 1 includes Lucas, Mike,
and Eleven – with her signature Eggo.

In addition, pack 2 features Will,
Dustin, and Demogorgon.

Add both 3-packs to your collection this Summer!

There are a few things I love about this. I love, love, love that these are going to be 3 3/4 inch figures. That takes care of the nostalgia aspect. I like that they are also fully articulated, I am sure they could have just given us ReAction style figures and called it a day and they still would have sold. The accessories are where they get me. I mean, I didn’t know I always wanted a little mini Eggo waffle to go with my action figures, but now I can’t imagine living in a world where I don’t have one. All five kids are represented here, and each comes with something special to each one from the show. The sculpts here are also pretty impressive, the highlight being the Demogorgon of course. Man, they really nailed that design. The extra articulation near the wrist is a great touch, it will make for more menacing poses.

All in all, the only major complaint I have is that I am afriad this will be the only wave. I am crazy, so I want a figure for every character on this show. Leave no stone unturned Funko!!! Hopper, Joyce, Steve, Barb…we better get as many waves as it takes to get to them all!

Look for these on shelves towards the end of the summer, possibly in August.

Trapped on the planet’s surface with a ragtag band of Venomized heroes, Eddie has no choice but to mount a counteroffensive and hope to find a way home!

Funko SDCC 2017 Wave 5 Exclusives: TV… Clara!

Wave 5 of 1,937,229 of Funko exclusives have been revealed (I kid, I kid…kinda), and this wave is all about TV. There are a few in here that have been anxiously awaited figures, and one of them is already confirmed to be shared (though where we don’t know yet). Let us dive in shall we?

Pop! Television: Twin Peaks – Black Lodge Cooper & Laura 2-pack

Straight from the Black Lodge comes this SDCC 2-Pack featuring Agent Cooper and Laura Palmer!

Pop! Television: The Tick –The Tick (Glow-in-the-Dark)

Be prepared when The Tick hits Amazon Prime Video on August 25^th with this SDCC exclusive glow-in-the-dark Tick Pop! Neat!

Pop! Television: Mr. Robot – Masked Elliot Alderson

Pop! Television: The Walking Dead – T-Dog

Pop! Television: Stranger Things – Steve and Pop! Television: Stranger Things – Mr. Clarke

Pop! Television: Doctor Who – Clara

Now, before everyone has a freakout, Funko has already said that Clara will be a shared exclusive.

We can confirm Clara is shared! We'll post the full list with details the week of SDCC. https://t.co/HO5z0NNp9z

— Funko (@OriginalFunko) June 16, 2017

So there, no need to panic Whovians. As a Stranger Things collector I will have to grab both of those. I should have known they would have some there. The Tick should actually be a tough get as well, he has really endured. I hope the new show is entertaining, I am just not feeling it after watching the new pilot. Twin Peaks was a given to be at the show as well, with the revival airing now and the first wave of Twin Peaks Pops being so successful. The biggest surprise of all is the T-Dog Pop. I had given up hope that we would see him ever come out, it has been forever since he died on the show (spoilers I guess). It is pretty awesome that fans will be able to fill in that gap on their shelf.

Like Clara, most of their exclusives will be shared with retailers. We will provide the list as it becomes available. Look for more TV exclusives to be announced as well, no way they are done.
