Preview: The Walking Dead: series 3

Starting with series 1 and continuing with series 2 we have seen some amazing figures in the walking dead universe. They are part of the Television line.
Can Funko continue to bring it on an apocalyptic scale?

Number 66 is The Governor with his eye patch. He looks good, and is easily recognisable.

 

 

 

I am not the biggest fan of this one, with all the great characters and zombies to choose from, i just don't feel i needed another Rick.

         Arrrrgh this is more like it a nice zombie to add to the horde.

Merle looks fine, i really like his blade hand. I am sure Daryl will be happy to see him.

Release date:

These figures break out of the prison on 11th July 2013

Exclusives/ Limited editions:

There are a number of goodies for this wave, i have shown pictures where i could find them, i will update as soon as more info becomes available so check back often.

 Poncho Daryl Pop! - Hot Topic Exclusive

                     

 Zombie Merle Pop! - Hot Topic Exclusive

As much as im not a fan of duplicate characters, this guy is pretty cool and can always hide at the back of the hoard if Merle is still living.

Bloody Gauze Eye Patch Governor Pop! - Previews Exclusive

 Again this guy is tempting as he isn't just a re-colour but i might give him a miss.

Blood Splatter Merle Pop! - Conventions Exclusive

Blood Splatter Governor - Fugitive Toys Exclusive

I am not sure if this concept art is for this exclusive figure but it would make sense.

Opinion:

Most of these figures look very cool, though for me it will be a choice between the normal or exclusive version of a character, i don't need three governors or multiple Ricks.

Preview: Disney series 5

Disney: S5

A new wave of Disney Funkp pop figures are on the way, lets take a look.

 

First up we have Alice from Alice in wonderland, she is sure to be very popular with the movie pops.

Next in line we have, Dumbo, whose real name is Jumbo Jr, but was given the cruel nickname of Dumbo because of his large ears. Those large ears that set him apart also allowed Dumbo to fly. The movie and story it was based on show that it is often our differences that make us special, and that difference should be celebrated. The film also shows the cruelty of having performing animals in circus.
Also available in metallic.

Mary Poppins floats in on her magic umbrella, she looks pretty cool and obviously recognisable. In the movie some children cast a spell for the perfect nanny, and Mary Poppins floats down from the clouds and using simple witchcraft brings magic into there dim world. 

Jasmine is a princess from the movie Aladdin. Looking at this figure just makes me want a genie from I dream of Jeannie. 

 Jafar is also from Aladdin, he looks pretty cool, but his golden cobra staff is awesome.

 Also from Aladdin Genie is the magical Jinn freed from his lamp.
Also available in metallic.

 Baloo is a mysteriously blue coloured Brown Bear from The Jungle Book.

 King Louie is also from The Jungle Book, he is an orangutan and though, orangutans are not native to India, he was king of the monkeys. More monkeys are always welcome.

Merida is the princess in the Brave movie. She is Pixars first female lead. Also available in metallic.

The Rocketeer is from the movie of the same name released in 1991, which is based on the comic. Cliff Secord finds a jet pack and takes on Nazis. Its a great movie and well worth a watch.

Carl Fredricksen is from a movie i have not seen called Up.
If you have seen this movie please comment with your opinion.

 

 Um so this boy is from the movie Up. I have not seen it and i have no idea what it is about.

Opinion:

While some of these look very cool, i am sure a true Disney fan will want to get them all.  
 

 Release:

Available 27th of June.

04 Gizmo

Gremlins

 Gremlins is a 1984 American horror comedy film. A man buys a pet Mogwai for his teenage son. The strange creature is named Gizmo and has three rules to its care;

Never expose it to bright light,
Never get it wet;  
Never, ever feed it after midnight. 

 Gizmo is the star of both gremlins and the sequel Gremlins 2. He is a furry little biped from china.

 Gizmo is number 4 in the Movies line of Funko pop vinyl figures, he is the first Gremlins figure. The box art is reminiscent of the wooden box that Gizmo lived in at the antique shop.

 The Mogwai has its head turned in the window box which is unusual.

Short of making him plush (there may be a flocked exclusive) i don't see how Gizmo could be any closer to his movie counterpart.

Gizmos ears are large and wide. In the movie they are very articulate but on the figure the only articulation is at the neck.

 His hands and feet are beyond adorable.

 For some size comparison we have Leonidas on the left and Bicycle Girl from The Walking Dead on the right.

Inside every cute Mogwai waits a vicious Gremlin.

 

The other Gremlins Movie figure is called Gremlins, though it is clearly Stripe.

 

 

 Limited/Exclusives:

There is a flocked exclusive to 2011 San Diego Comic Con that is limited to 480 fuzzy pieces.
