It's almost disgusting how
Funko keeps churning out their vinyl Pop! figures for virtually every media property around, but I sorta love them and they're ruining my life right now. RUNNING my life right now. RUNNING. In a good way. They make me smile, they lurk all over my desk, and I had to make a wishlist over on Amazon dedicated solely to their big-headed vinyl wiles.
Just, they're adorable, okay? Funko really hit it out of the park, nay, the galaxy when they came up with this line of figures.
And if they do make a basic figure that's less than stellar, there's a growing number of kick-ass kitbashers out there fixing them up with repaints and custom resculpts. Any rumors that I'm thinking about joining this excellent, informal guild are more than likely stuff and nonsense. Yep. Complete tripe.
Anyway, this ode to Funko Pop! figures is meant to tell you THEY'RE COMING OUT WITH BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA POPS NEXT MONTH. THIS IS NOT A DRILL OR A CHINESE STANDOFF.
If you lived through the 80's, you know this is awesome. Awesome, ultimate kitsch.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest you take yourself off to Netflix or
Amazon Prime and watch it. Preferably with Chinese take-out, during a thunderstorm. Treat Yo Self. (Hell, it's less than
$5 on Blu-ray at the moment.)
My friends and I even put together a little
Boozers Assemble livetweet that you can read along with the movie for extra hilarity.
Excited?
TREAT YO SELF AGAIN.

We've all gotta do our bit so they put out a second wave with Egg Shen and Pete, not to mention Wang, Margo, and Eddie. And Miao Yin!
Especially Egg Shen. Leaving him out of the first wave was just criminal.
