New FUNKO Wants

The Creature by Funko

Richard Alpert Bobble Head!

And here's a new bobble head pic of Guyliner eating cotton candy!

The text on the base is latin for "He who will protect us all." But isn't that referring to Jacob?

Bobble Heads!

LOST:
Marvin Candle/Edgar Halliwax/Pierre Chang looks pretty good!
Not a very good likeness on Daniel here.

Kid Robot's Kang or Kodos

Oh man, I want one! They're 6" (twice as big as their usual Simpsons blind boxed figures) and a whopping $30 each. Definitely pricey considering you have to pay at least $60 to get a set, but could easily get multiples since they're blind boxed. I'm hoping for an Urban Outfitters clearance next time I'm in Portland.

Wonder Twins Powers Activate!

Here's a video of the amazing packaging for the Comic-Con exclusive Wonder Twins action figure set. I hope this doesn't up the price too much since I'm gonna open them. And hopefully the sound chip is useable outside of the box too.

New LOST Bobble Heads and Action Figures!

It's been sad times since McFarlane Toys unofficially cancelled their LOST action figure line due to poor sales. But now Bif Bang Pow! has the license for figures and bobble heads. Read the press release here.

TMNT Headknockers

These bodacious dudes are coming out later this year from NECA. Celebrating 25 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book which started in 1984, they're based on the original art where all of the turtles sported red bandanas. (Raphael is not pictured.)

Ok. These should be the only exclusives I want to buy at Comic-Con. Does anyone know the size and price of the pink Vader helmet? If it's really expensive I'll pass.
