POP! POP! POP!

Funko POP! Vinyl Figures have started to invade my collection. Funko has teamed up with Disney to release Disney and Pixar POP! vinyl figures. The prices range from $9.99 - $12.50 for the standard size ones. Funko did release larger versions at SDCC for a few of their exclusives etc... All the Disney versions are priced higher than say the Star Wars POP! etc... You can only get the Disney/Pixar POP! figures at Disney Stores or Disney's online store.

As you can see I'm a huge Toy Story fan/collector. If you know Disney, they will probably release every character they ever made etc.... Definitely have to be selective and Toy Story was a no brainer. 

The paint app on each figure varies. There will be imperfections.

Still need to re-do the collection/shelves to find a spot for these guys.

Wondercon 2012 Moves to Anaheim, CA

Wondercon 2012 moves to Anaheim.  The Moscone Center in SF will renovating. Wondercon has been in the Bay Area since forever or as long as I can remember when it was still in Oakland. It's sad that they couldn't find a venue anywhere in Northern California. Many Northern California folks that have attended Wondercon will definitely be saddened by this news.

Not sure if any of us here will be attending since it's going to be a choice of either Wondercon or SDCC since they are both in Southern California. We'll have to decide when it gets closer.

Disney's Toy Story 3 Chuckles The Clown Figure

So stoked to finally get a Chuckles figures but there was a definitely a catch getting him. He was never made as a standard movie figure that were released by Mattel or even as a plush from Disney. He was released as a buddy figure from Mattel but the buddy figures are small and he came in a 2-pack which was hard to find.

The Catch was this:
You had to buy all the figure listed in the back of this figure card. Each figure had a piece of Chuckles that you had to collect to build him. Once you got all the pieces, you have yourself a Chuckles The Clown Figure.

These figures are from Disney and costs $12.50 each. They might still be on sale for 2 for $20 but you have to check either their online store or one of their retail stores.

Cheesy Poofs anyone? For South Park's 15 years, Frito Lays has made Limited Edition Cheesy Poofs Puffs lol. They're pretty much cheese puffs.

Spotlight on Mini Amedas by Chima Group

Chima Group's Mini Amedas (dinosaur with rain boots) is one of the breakthrough figures for this year for me. Chima Group is a new Sofubi company from Japan. I was hooked after seeing a picture posted on twitter. I couldn't just settle for one colorway, I wanted them all. For me its the simplicity of the figure that I really like. It's cute and has a little articulation. You can move the head and the feet can move a little bit too.

There are now 2 places in the U.S. that you can get Chima Group's Sofubi figures. Lulubell and Rotofugi both carry the Mini Amedas figures.

Lulubell has an exclusive Chima Group x Grody Shogun version of the Mini Amedas still in stock HERE. That version is the yellow with teal boots which is the guy all the way on the right in the picture.

Here's another picture showing the front and side of each one. 

Splurrt's Cadaver Kid

Splurrt has been churning out lots of new figures and this is his first vinyl figure called Cadaver Kid. I am kicking myself for missing out on the made to order unpainted black and green figure released a few months back. So I was pretty stoked to snag up one of his first painted Cadaver Kid from his store when these were released. Splurrt had a few different painted versions up and I think there was only a couple left by the time I checked out his store.

Here's a couple of pics showing the front and back of this awesome painted Cadaver Kid.
Btw, Splurrt will be releasing 2 new micro runs of painted Cadaver Kids at 2 Show coming up. One at Toy Karma 3 and the other at Toy Art Gallery. More info on these in another post.
