Buffy
The Vampire Slayer:

 


Funko are releasing vinyl Pop figures for the hugely popular Buffy series.

First up we have Buffy and Mr Pointy, she looks cool.I worry she may have "Daenerys syndrome"...

Oz the hot redhead werewolf, sadly without his guitar. 

Willow was everyone's favorite lesbian Witch, she rocks.I hope she does not have "Daenerys syndrome".

Spike the hottest vampire on the show looks awesome.

 

This is supposed to be a Vampire faced chase figure, not an exclusive, i am not sure what the sticker says. He looks nice all lumpy faced.

  

The Gentlemen, well one of them looks suitably creepy. This character is possibly one form of inspiration for the Slenderman creepy pasta.

The other vampire, until i re-watched the show on DVD i remembered him being a minor character, brought in for the later seasons, isn't that weird.

SPOILER: Most remembered for selfishly destroying the ring that was meant for Spike and killing a whole lot of people.

Opinion:

The figures look cool, one can only assume that there will be a wave two as we don't even have the full "scooby gang" yet.

Do i still have to give spoiler warnings for a series that was aired in 1997? What is the proper spoiler etiquete here? we are sensitive to the spoiler issue in Australia as we often got shows three seasons behind the rest of the world.

09 Winged Monkey

Winged Flying Monkey

 Winged monkeys also known as flying monkeys are characters from the popular iconic gay franchise The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Originally a collection of books, the story was made into a movie in 1939.

 Winged Monkey is the 9th figure in the Funko vinyl pop Movies line. He is from wave one, to see more click here.

In the real world Winged Monkeys are called Hsigo and come from Chinese legend and mythology where they act like a familiar to those skilled in magic.

Winged Monkey has two slits for a nose, no mouth and the usual pop black eyes. 

A little hat adorns his head which also has a mo-hawk and curls.

Winged Monkey has cool monkey feet and a little monkey servant costume, reminiscent of those old street organ grinder monkeys.

The Winged Monkey has a cool monkey tail and nice feathered wings.

 Here Winged Monkey stands with his primate friends, Chi Chai Monchan the monkey and Bumble the Yeti.

 Here Winged Monkey plays the part of Monkey from Monkey magic, which was based on the adventures of Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, from the ancient Chinese, journey to the west.
