    Well let me put it this way they still have to come through the mail to get to there location and you can order them online to your house so yes it does count as mail service. And they are vinyl figures none the less so ill talk about them if i want. I could careless on how popular or unpopular certain things are with ppl.

    They do have some very good sculpts on some of there work and some are indeed terrible both execution wise and paint wise. But you cant expect them all to be perfect when mass produced for better quality like a 10 plus run of a sofubi artist.

    Well, no. Just because something came to a store in the mail doesn't make it a what YOU just got in the mail piece. That was a poor argument. As for its scult or paint, who cares. As you said its a mass produced production piece which doesn't belong here. There are plenty of Junko sites where you can talk about it until you are blue. I am only saying I dont think this is the site to find mutual appreciation for that piece.

    Thats ok i actually do have some coming in the mail later on this week lol. As for your actual argument i do see what your saying but you honestly shouldn't concern yourself as much since i rarely post any Funko on here to begin with.

    @Nuggets303420 Please don't start this shit again. Thanks.

    EDIT: For what it's worth, I think Pops are kind of borderline for this board, but there are some that are kind of nice. I actually bought one of the Titanfall ones recently. (I know, I know.) And S7 works with Funko, so I guess it's kind of ok now?

    I just don't want a repeat of that Be@rbrick nonsense from the last time.

    Well ok. I guess if Junko is just going to hoard all the licencing on everything and force good companies to collab with them then ok. I will just be a fan. How did that work out for MindStyle?.... As far as my Be@rbricks thing, that was completely different. That was asking the difference between two platforms that seem quite similar. When it comes to Funko and PoPs I just see no place for it here at all in anyway if other stuff by actual artists isn't excepted because its mass produced. Well you cant get more mass produced than Funko. I was very specifically told what this site is for and Funko wasn't it. I am not trying to start any fights or drama but lets all be straight on here. You can't say Funko is ok now and KR and all other American companies are crappy and mass produced..... Point being, let's just keep it to kaiju/sofubi related items so no fights are started or feelings hurt. As some of you feel when you see or hear D*nny, that's how a PoP makes me feel. So you should understand this.

    ^ Fair 'nuff.

    For what it's worth - S7 and Funko have parted ways, I'm told... bitter pill that the union was to many fully recognized, of course.

    It's also by Grody Shogun! It's the Grody Grouse (which I'm obsessed with) atop a stump (also by Grody) that has a texture which beautifully compliments the Grouse :)

    These didn't come in the mail, but thought it was worth sharing, my G-Fest haul from last weekend:

    I especially love the Lucky Bag exclusive 2003 Godzilla and Kiryu set I won off of Chibi Goji Toys:

    Transparent White Gallery Kiryu and Blue Lucky Bag Kiryu comparison:

    While not the same Godzilla incarnation, they both share a similar color scheme and look awesome next to each other. Blue Glitter Godzilla 1999 and Lucky Bag Godzilla 2003:

    Envious of the clear blue Godzilla and Kiryu, it's very lush in the light. Just a dash of paint in the right spots. Love it.

    Mark, that is a lovely little line of toys you got there. Just fun! Great taste, I initially mistook the blue robo for a Gonk droid (silly me!), and the Barrel 'o Butas is a real delight.

    Skulltoys got this RxH and Goccodo collab to my door in 1 day. What a surprise. Showed up with my pink Goro, most of the small Marusan goro's are kinda bland but this pink one stands out for me at least. And if anyone can figure out why everytime I try to post from my instagram account I only have one instance of the image code typed but when posting it does double. Oh well enjoy doubles. Also instagram chopped Goro's arm off.

    ^ That's not Goro, it's a Giant Gorilla in all his unlicensed glory! AKA Fake Kong, heh.

    For IG posts, you need to drop just the picture code itself - in this case, BXB5EOrFqcG - between the IG tags. Should fix yr problem.
    Code:
    [INSTA]BXB5EOrFqcG[INSTA]

    Great grab on that Pluma, Rei! A fine, fine repro with some of my favorite sprays from the Crub.

    The other coupla finds aren't so bad, either. I heart mail day!

    Beautiful thanks for the instagram tip. I just get confused because 450 Giant Gorilla face is slightly more drunk but similar to smaller drunk gorilla face lol.

    @rattanicus What a lovely multicoloured mail day, Rei! :) Great toys you nabbed there. Love that the two Gogas you adopted match each other too in their rainbow pride, pretty jealous.
