Preview: Funko Pop! Rides 02 Time Machine

Time Machine

 

Funko are releasing the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future.  

The car comes with a Marty McFly Pop figure.

It will be interesting to see if Funko fixed the issues that plagued the Batmobile release; removed the foot peg and hole, non-turning wheels and if the figure that comes with it is the same as the one you can buy separately.

It seems there has been a delay in releasing the Rides line so i do hope the issues have been fixed.

 Released June 2014

Other Rides:

 

The Batmobile has been released, check out my review, but the others have not been released at this time. 

What kind of Rides would you like to see? 

Preview: Ghostbusters Funko Pop figures.

Ghostbusters!

 Ghostbusters is a paranormal comedy movie released in 1984 that has gone on to create sequels, comics, toys, cartoon series and games. The original movie is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters Funko are releasing a line of Ghostbusters figures for their Movies line, and Rides line.

 First up we have Dr. Peter Venkman, he is a parapsychologist who like many in the real world, didn't believe in ghosts until he saw one. 
The figure is obviously a Ghostbuster and seems to be wielding a
 proton Pack. I like him.

 Dr. Raymond Stanz is an expert in paranormal history and mythology. He carries a ghost trap and what looks like a walkie talkie. 
Can i just pause for a second to comment on how ridiculously named the walkie talkie is, it sounds like the inventer allowed his child to name it, anyway.
Ray also wears ecto goggles upon his head. He looks very cool.

 Dr. Egon Spengler invented a lot of the Ghostbusters specialised equipment. He is seen here wearing his glasses, and holding a walkie talkie (to talk to ray?) and a P.K.E Meter which allows the Ghostbusters to track supernatural entities.  
He is a cool figure and the team will look great together.

The Ghostbusters would get board without a ghost to bust, so here we have Slimer! Slimer looks absolutely fantastic and comes with a translucent base.

 And the Big Bad Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, he looks adorable or um terrifying, perhaps both. He stands 6" tall so he will tower over the Ghostbusters. A great idea and a must for any Ghostbusters fan.

For those wondering where Winston Zeddemore is, worry no more, Winston comes with the ECTO-1 in the Rides line. The Ecto-1 looks very cool and i cant wait to get the whole line of these Ghostbusters.

Thoughts:

107 in the movies line seems to be missing, though it may be a Winston figure. 

The Rides vechles are 1; Batmobile, 2; Delorian,  and i am not sure what 3 is, perhaps the turtles van?

These figures look awesome and i believe they will all make their way into my collection.

Available:

Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Slimer, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Available in April while we have to wait until May for Winston Zeddmore in the Ecto-1.

01 Rides Batmobile

BATMAN & BATMOBILE

This figure and the car is based on the 1960s live action television series. Batman is well known for its campness of the possibly (closeted homosexual) duo batman and robin.

The front of the box

 The back of the box.

In the box you get a classic looking television series Batman and the Batmobile.

 

Here we see the steel looking pipes.

 

The bonet and front grill look awesome and kind of bat like. 

 

Got to love the bat-rims.

 

Rocket exhaust!

 

The interior is spare, there is a steering wheel. The peg is for Batmans foot.

 

Batmans foot has a hole, other figures can sit in the car but do not have a hole in their foot.

 

Batman can leave the car and he looks just as good standing beside it as he does driving. 

 

The figure is unmistakably Batman.

 

The paint and detail is good.

 

Cool bat-cape.

 Unfortunately the god bat-symbol on the bat-buckle of the bat-utility belt is off center.

OPINION:

I think the rides line is going to be cool, i can think of a few id like to see, The Time Machine, and Herbie would be great. What vehicles would you like to see in the Pop  Rides line?  

 

Arya Stark cant reach the breaks!

 

Captain Jack doesn't need the Black Pearl, but a Pop Black Peal would be cool.

 

Shelden cooper parked in the Batmobile, id like to see a Time Machine for the gang to sit in, and a Morlok.

 Its the zombie apocolipse as if you wouldn't go for a drive in the Batmobile!
