Pop Figures, What Are They?
In 1978, Mike Becker created the Funko brand in the heart of Seattle. Shortly after its launch, the brand had a brief success thanks to the concept of bobblehead figures. These are collectible toys with oversized heads that move with the surface. However, it is really when Brian Mariotti bought the company in 2005 that the current Funko pop figures were born.
Measuring about 9 cm, with large smoky eyes adorning an oversized head, Funko Pop figures touch geeks to the core. That's how the Batman Pop figures became so popular. As soon as the Funko Pop Iron Man figure (Marvel) was released, it found its audience. And what about the Funko Pop Tony-Tony Chopper (One Piece) figure that soothes the dark dreams of otakus troubled by the Edward Scissorhands Pop figure?
Funko Pop figures are also extremely versatile. At the same time, is it really possible that a Pop Elsa figure (Frozen) has the same dimensions as a Pop Chewbacca figure (Star Wars)? Admit it, it would be illogical...
What Are the Different Variations of Pop Figures Available?
As much as the silhouette of the Funko Pop figure is well known, very few geeks are aware of the subtleties that exist in this sector. Because yes... When you buy a Funko Pop Sangohan figure (Dragon Ball), it can be "classic", "oversized", "pocket", "pack" or "movie moments".
Funko Pop Classic
The classic one is the one that is well known by otakus. It is the Pop Pikachu figure (Pokémon) which is less than 10 centimeters and which we like to put on our desk.
Oversized Funko Pop
By "oversized", understand those with very big heads and more imposing dimensions. Generally, this format is intended for the representation of massive protagonists. This is for example the case of the Funko Pop Hagrid figure (Harry Potter) and the Funko Pop Ryuk figure (Death Note).
Funko Pocket Pop
In a more minimalist format, it is possible to fall for the "pocket" like the Pop Groot figure (Guardians of the Galaxy). Thanks to these dimensions, Funko Pop Tornado (One Punch Man) figures and other small models can be used as key rings.
Funko Pop Pack
Because love grows with sharing, GoldoGeek also offers Funko Pop figures in packs. In other words, they are sets including the main characters of the same official license. For example, a Harry Potter pack will include Funko Pop figures of Harry, Hermione, Albus Dumbledore and Ron Weasley.
Funko Pop Movie Moments
Finally, there is the last category: the movie moments. Through one of these Funko Pop figures, strong scenes such as the attack of Konoha (Naruto), the assault of the Colossal Titan (Attack on Titan) or the defeat of Envy (Fullmetal Alchemist) are forever immortalized. Funko Pop figures are gadgets that are always good to give to a geek. Cute, contemporary, these otaku accessories are just begging to be brought into your home. To find one that meets your criteria, go to GoldoGeek, the online store for geeks.
