Funko Rocky Horror

[palitoy]

Not a big fan of RH but I have to give Funko props for the figures, a nice effort went into these.

those are hilariously awesome. I may have to splurge.

Funko made RHPS Pop Vinyl figures too.

These will be hard to resist.
ReAction probably thought, "Don't dream it, be it..."

dang it. Only available in straight case packs at the moment.
I could get a couple of cases if the pack was mixed, but I don't think I can do six cases of figures.

I love that I can pick and choose which ReAction lines to embrace. Never got into Rocky Horror, but these look swell for those who did.

Are they just offering these two figures (Frank and Riff Raff), Rche, or are there more?

These are in that "win" category of ReAction figures. Nice to see them perhaps slowing down and injecting some consistent quality into the line.

double post, whoops

There are six figures. Frank, Rif Raf, Magenta, Columbia, Brad, and Janet, with the last two in their bathrobes and undies. Good stuff.

They look to have put a lot more effort into these than the majority of their figures. So, that's really good. Happy for the fans of the movie. But, to me, it's just another license choice that reinforces that they don't quite get the concept of 70/80s Kenner figures.

^I don't know....Kenner was going to release Alien figures in this scale, so there's an R-rated movie for you. Sure, Rocky Horror is more subversive, but it's no less a kids line than Alien in some ways. Plus, it is from the time period.

That's a great line-up. Oddly, no Rocky? Or will he be a convention exclusive?

Kenner mistakenly thought they were getting the next SW with Aliens and to be fair astronauts and alien creatures are pretty toyetic. No way they would have touched other R rated 70s stuff like Taxi Driver. Now something like Jaws makes perfect sense and is actually very well done.

But most of their license choices just seem down right nonsensical, to me, for a retro Kenner line. To them, Retro Kenner just seemed to mean poor generic sculpts on whatever license they could slap on it. I mean Pulp Fiction, Boondock Saints, Fight Club!? What the!? They don't fit the era and don't exactly make you think of Kenner. I don't personally care for Back to the Future or Goonies but they make absolutely perfect sense. The whole reaction line just screams missed opportunity. Instead of actual retro properties like Addams Family, Krull, Thundarr, Labyrinth, Monster Squad, Beetlejuice, Battlestar Galactica, etc. they make modern properties like Breaking Bad.

A retro Kenner line should have been a big hit. But they cranked out a lot poorly sculpted modern properties way too fast and tanked the whole thing. I would be surprised if the announced, but never shown, Dark Crystal or Munsters line will actually see the light of day.
