    I saw a rejected Funko Reaction figure I should have bought

    Stopped at a toysRus earlier and they had all of the new Karate Kid figures (but no Kreese or Ali). At any rate they had the white suit competition Daniel. One of them however had this head popped off and it was sort of at his side in the package. I was tempted to buy it and sell it on ebay as "Johnny kicks off larusso's head factory defect"/ It prob would have sold pretty well.

    Actually while on subject, does Funko have something in place so the stores purposely will not carry a whole complete line? Even for Big Trouble in Little China, the only figures ToysRus ever carried (in store) were Jack Burton and Gracie Law. The Karate kid pegs were full, so they must have been recently put out, but as mentioned, multiples of everyone but no Ali or Kresse

    i was in TRU a week or so ago and they had a lot of figures that had arms and heads off in the package. does not instill confidence in the quality of the figures

        You could probably go back and get the headless figure. It probably hasn't sold...

          I believe what Funko is now doing, is simply sending Big Box Retailers a "mix" assortment. They are not intentionally leaving anyone out, they are simply sending a big box of random figures to the stores. This is very cool in some regard, as you never know who might show up, but it's also a bit annoying if you're trying to track down a particular series and only have big box retail to do it. Thankfully any figure can be found online relatively easily.

            They could be willing to give ME money for those figures and I still wouldn't have one. For being a FunKo product, they are the cheapest looking pieces of shinola I've ever seen! They belong on the clearance rack at the Dollar Tree!
            sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                  I wish my local stores could at least stock their merchandise properly; the shelves are always bare, especially the Funko sections.

                    I saw a couple of messed up figures at a comic book store so it's not just the big retail stores that get them. In my area the figures are getting very thin. Where are the Tomorrowland figures? The movie comes out today.

                      Just picked up Taxi driver today at ToysRus (odd seeing it there since they had such a big issue carrying Breaking Bad figures a while back) and surprise surprise- once again Big trouble in China had filled racks with just Gracie law and Jack Burton and ditto for Karate kid. No Klease or Ali
