I have several Funko POPs, although I wouldn't consider myself a collector of them. I don't get all the hate for them. Yes, they have overproduced them, and they flood toy shows and comic shops, etc, but they are relatively harmless, in my opinion. Maybe its because my LCS owners are so passionate about them, I can't bring myself to hate them.Comment

Yeah, one is from my kids, the other two are Mr. Roarke and Tattoo. I willingly purchased those, so I don't even have that excuse. If Super 7 made figures, I'd probably swap them out but I got a feeling that will never happen.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I have a handful of Pops, things like Conan and Red Sonja, Phantom, Space Ghost and some of the Flash Gordon Movie Pops (Ming and Vultan) and a few others that were gifted to me. I don't collect them, but if there's a pop of something I really like there's a chance I might grab it if the price is right (though I haven't bought one in a couple of years). I am not particularly a fan of them, but I don't hate them. If someone is big into Funko, good on them if it makes them happy. No skin off my nose if they do and I applaud anyone finding their joy in any kind of toy or collectible.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Discover the Secrets was horrible. But Classic Clue is always available in "vintage" reissues at places like Borders.
I'll take Chef White over Dr. Orchid any day; I didn't mind the character titles being modified to professional ones in the '23 version. Now if only we could have Rev. Green over here...

It would be nice if we could get vintage versions of more than the "1949" edition. The 72 version is super iconic and has never gotten a re-release. Amazon still has the retro 86 edition in stock. But It's the usual quarter fold board and has the wrong pawns. Plus, the Mrs. White pawn is almost yellow and the Colonel Mustard pawn is orange.Last edited by Werewolf; May 30, '25, 7:12 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

A bit more Clue rambling.
I picked up the 2023 Clue. I got it at a good price, and I am a sucker for figural tokens. The artwork on the board is nice and it is the same size as the 2016 edition. The layout of the rooms are what you would expect. I do really like the new weapon tokens. Those are pretty nice. The cards are really thin. The cards are nicely coated on both sides but still feel kinda cheap because they are so thin. I'm still not super keen on the hipster art style or changing the location of the story to the States.
All in all, it's a perfectly fine version of Clue. Certainly, better than the 2008 and 2012 versions. But I still don't like it nearly as much as the 2016 Clue. I consider the 2016 version a return to form after years of trying to re-invent the wheel and being hip and trendy.
Another weird quirk of mine, I'm not really into all the pop culture versions of Clue. I mean Seinfeld, Friends and Golden Girls!? What the!? You know I like the Nightmare Before Christmas and Muppets. But they don't work for Clue. I do like the Scooby Doo Clue. Now, that makes sense. They solve mysteries. It's what they do. That's their thing. It works. Yes, well, never mind.Last edited by Werewolf; Yesterday, 9:12 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.
