I'm a pretty casual collector so I enjoy the variety so I can choose which crash I want. I can see why 6 different Crash Bandicoots could be a problem for collectors who wanna collect the whole set though!
My big issue with the 8bit ones is something that a lot of people both in the gaming community and outside don't seem to realize. Pixelized =/= 8 Bit. If you're not using an actual 8 bit palette then you're not actually 8bit. Like yeah dig dug looks fine since he's directly based on the sprite in-game, but the others are just blocky versions of the regular characters. GO ALL THE WAY GUYS. 8bit Batman? Use the NES game palette where he's blue and purple. NES Jason and Freddy sell out all the time when there's merch of them. I feel like that entire line is a huge missed opportunity. and like I get they chose the name to be simple, but it ain't 8bit so don't call it that. Call it Pop Pixels or something, that rolls off the tongue way better.
Those five Pennywise pops are ridiculous, the chase one is going for £85 here!. Sure the latest one Pennywise with teeth is very cool but do we really need five versions!
SpacedMoth5 Nintendo is smart enough to decide if they want to do that, plus I’m not a huge fan of pops but I would certainly buy a Mario pop if it were to come out.
Witness Funko express their greed through the wallets of collectors. This behavior only serves to discourage collectors who just up and say "screw it," because trying to keep up is becoming impossible. I fully understand that you have the option of not buying them all, but Funko KNOWS the average collector will attempt to COMPLETE collections. It has now officially become more stressful than fun.
I only collect what I like so I guess its different for every person but my goal is not to complete collections its have cool pops and display them with pride. I have 100 pops I right now and I can say 80% I bought because I liked them. yes there a few I got because well they were cheap or gifted to me by fiends but in general I try to stick to characters and things I like and not worry about completing a series just because.
Quit complaining, they are making a lot of pops because they bought the licenses. They didn't do it for no reason! And if you don't want it, don't buy it!
I agree with you. Funko is making so many exclusive for one characters that doesn't need exclusives. They could make more sets of more popular characters.
Rye's Pops yes they are but no o e knows were they are they tell you the day before there released which is October 4 some have been leaked like the lolbit and boba get ones are going to be toys are us Barnes and noble are going to have the chrome batman
The only way to get them to stop is to not buy the variants, I have my Bob Ross, doubt I will buy any more of them, if I did it would be the big brush guy, but as for the others one is enough for me..
I totally agree with you, Funko's taking advantage of us with this, they know we'll buy the Chases and the rare exclusives. I do like the pops though, Funko just needs original ideas.
Hi top pops! Can you please make a video on where to find pops in the uk? It would really help, because I'm starting a collection in a few days. Thanks for your time! (PS I only know three shops. Hmv, Asda AKA uk Walmart, and Game, Which is basically uk GameStop!)
Are black and white pops always Chases Bc I have a Walking Dead Daryl Dixon And hes Black and white but no chase sticker but it was for Christmas so I don’t know if it was ripped off or something
Avicez YT No a chase is not necessarily black and white. It could be glow in the dark instead, the pop could be carrying a different object etc. It can be anything really.
I agree with you for the most part but I really like how they made all the Colors for the Foot Soldiers since we never really see all the other colors witch other toys
The reason they made the color variants for the 8-bit foot soldiers is because each color was a special foot soldier from the ninja turtles arcade game Oh wait nvm you were right they shouldn't have made them all nycc
Oh, I wanted to say that I think part of the reason that Funko is doing so many pops of the same characters is that people are requesting this or that. It is a bit alarming, I've seen other collectibles, like collectible cards kind of disappear due to over production and ten sets in a single year etc. JMO
Duuuuude this is what I was just saying about the new Crimes of Grindelwald ones! There were already 3 Newts from when the first movie came out, now in this second wave there's 5 more...and they still haven't made several characters. Some of them are cool and yeah I love Newt but I'm not going to get 8 versions of him when some of them are so similar...
I'm kind of bothered, but I know why it happens. Basically networks/companies license pops to be made to hype/support a product release (TV/Film/Game/etc). Look at the fact that Stranger Things has two full seasonal lines and is just over a year old. Meanwhile I'm annoyed that DC/WB doesn't finish Batman the Animated series and released Robot-Batman and the Phantasm over other characters.
Just saying...Funko is a business and they have every right to milk a license for as much as they can. Also, if these waves are underwhelming then don't buy them! They'll get the hint when they don't sell.
I think they should release more Sesame Street characters such as Kermit the frog re release and Telly Monster. Maybe a green grover because he was like that originally
They could start making characters like season 3 Flash pops. Season 3-5 arrow pops. Maybe Atrocitous would be cool. BUT MARIO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD NOT A FREAKING BILLION BOB ROSS!!!
I love Crash Bandicoot, and I do think the Pops from the images we've seen look great, all of them, however when you consider how popular the series is and how great the rest of the cast is, it's a little ridiculous that they've released 6 variants of Crash Bandicoot himself, including the chase. They could have made maybe two variants of Crash (3 including the chase), and then made a Coco, Aku Aku, N-Gin, N-Brio, Dingodile, Tiny, Crunch, the list goes on. I'm in no doubt that they will release more Bandicoot characters in the future, simply because the games are so popular and the characters are so well liked and you know the original wave of Bandicoot Pops will sell hugely. I just think 6 Crash Bandicoot variants in one wave is overkill, it's a shame Cortex is the only non-Crash Bandicoot pop in this set.
I agree I find the whole chase and exclusive thing at the moment is really out of control. I liked the flocked ones because I prefer that over the commons but it just too much and waters down the fun of the original pop.
It's not always Funko that dictates how many versions of a character are made. Sometimes it's the licensor. Also, Funko is a business. The goal of a business is to make money. If the endless number of FNAF Pops make money because people buy them then Funko is meeting that goal while giving those fans what they want. I may not want 100 different Crash Bandicoot Pops but maybe someone does. It would be a poor business decision for Funko to continue to make items that don't sell when they can make items that do. And they do still make some niche items for their long time or niche collectors such as Hanna Barbera or Land of the Lost or their original characters. They are also still making Pop Rocks. Just because they make a large amount of one item doesn't mean Funko has abandoned other lines or forgotten smaller franchises.
They take an awesome idea and run with it, like for instance bob Ross they made one and NOW there is a whole line up of them. When they finally make a character or person that everybody's been wanting at first then they run with it and make a WHOLE line up of the SAME character. #MarketSaturation
Also you are not buying a sertain collection mostly because it sells well you are doing it for you as a collector and because you love this.By saying that sounds a little like you also droped in the same level as the company.
Pin this comment and I'll shave my head
Ben Rocca I'll film it for a video if you do it!
Top Pops Ohhh Snap!!!
Ben Rocca Ok crap
ooooo dam
Ben Rocca shave this comment and I'll pin my head
In my country I found a store that's dedicated to only funko pops and dorbz and all I could see was pops. It was like heaven 😂
"L-O-L-Bit"
Me: TRIGGERED
Its pronounced lol-bit, like how you would say lol aloud exept un-abreviated
Dante Casareale same it's annoying to me
I'm a pretty casual collector so I enjoy the variety so I can choose which crash I want. I can see why 6 different Crash Bandicoots could be a problem for collectors who wanna collect the whole set though!

I think funko wants to beat the devil out of the 8-bit pops
they arent 8 bit, and it's because there are that many soldiers in the game
Damian Van Der Klugt I'm not talking about the design is 8-bit, I'm talking about the line
My big issue with the 8bit ones is something that a lot of people both in the gaming community and outside don't seem to realize. Pixelized =/= 8 Bit. If you're not using an actual 8 bit palette then you're not actually 8bit. Like yeah dig dug looks fine since he's directly based on the sprite in-game, but the others are just blocky versions of the regular characters. GO ALL THE WAY GUYS. 8bit Batman? Use the NES game palette where he's blue and purple. NES Jason and Freddy sell out all the time when there's merch of them. I feel like that entire line is a huge missed opportunity. and like I get they chose the name to be simple, but it ain't 8bit so don't call it that. Call it Pop Pixels or something, that rolls off the tongue way better.
yeah that's why I only have dig dug
Those five Pennywise pops are ridiculous, the chase one is going for £85 here!. Sure the latest one Pennywise with teeth is very cool but do we really need five versions!
+Cloysterpete we don't!!
and there are so many more crash characters but they only hav neo cortex and 5 crashs...
Cloysterpete yes we do
Cloysterpete Pennywise with teeth is the best one release :) sp scary
I'm actually happy about the Foot variants, because it means I might be able to get one, and there were a lot of Foot colors in the game.
What. About. The...
MARIO POPS!!!!!
SpacedMoth5 they need to make a Mario pop
SpacedMoth5 Nintendo is smart enough to decide if they want to do that, plus I’m not a huge fan of pops but I would certainly buy a Mario pop if it were to come out.
but they have the amiibos?

I can agree, because I am trying to get the FNAF ones.

CrossEyedGaming I'm with you on this.
CrossEyedGaming yeah I’m with you to
*Cough* Every Batman pop
Great vid top pops! I just got reaper, tracer and symmetra in the mail today! I'm so happy :D
I'm loving your Occamy ,Catdog and Uncle Si pops
Bob Woss
I agree with you. Funko is making so many exclusive for one characters that doesn't need exclusives. They could make more sets of more popular characters.
mega man makes sense due to the forms he has
WOAH
Funko is just trying to make as much money as possible while pop funko's are still popular.
My biggest problem with Funko is that they make tons of Batman but never make a Red Hood or a Red Robin or Damian Wayne Robin
Nightwing your first name is DICK. I think you can manage.
they did it with fnaf,but that one makes sense
Lol I dont even have pops but I still watch your vids
Will the NYCC pops be in stores? If so where can I find the Dwight one when it comes out
Rye's Pops yes they are but no o e knows were they are they tell you the day before there released which is October 4 some have been leaked like the lolbit and boba get ones are going to be toys are us Barnes and noble are going to have the chrome batman
I'm excited for the lolbit funky pop!
THANK you for making this vid!
The Bob Ross is absolutely necessary
Dbb3 Animation studios yea he's a happy little funko
They are making a fake crash and a Scuba diving crash too
I'm gonna buy my first pop vinyl tomorrow, can't wait to start my collection
Funko needs more Bandicoot! lol
Can you make the photos in sync with the videos?
The only way to get them to stop is to not buy the variants, I have my Bob Ross, doubt I will buy any more of them, if I did it would be the big brush guy, but as for the others one is enough for me..
that's obvious, tons of star wars pops line shelf's and they still make more
I want all the Crash Bandicoot!!!!!!!
I love him sooooo much!!!!
Totally agree with you, I was really excited for the Crash Bandicoot pops but felt let down, I was surprised they didn't make Coco
Georgia Ledsham they are making coco
Like if you're getting all of the crash bandicoots
I totally agree with you, Funko's taking advantage of us with this, they know we'll buy the Chases and the rare exclusives. I do like the pops though, Funko just needs original ideas.

We need coco,Ripper too,tiny,N.gin,N brio,dingodile and all the other characters.
Oh, I wanted to say that I think part of the reason that Funko is doing so many pops of the same characters is that people are requesting this or that. It is a bit alarming, I've seen other collectibles, like collectible cards kind of disappear due to over production and ten sets in a single year etc. JMO
Just got myself a FLOCKED BOB ROSS BIG G EXCLUSIVE which had his beared and afro FLOCKED
The Glow In The Dark will be a Best Buy exclusive
Is that porg and bob Ross a real thing? 😂
nah
Top Pops ok good I was like oh no this has gone to far!!! 😂😂😂
Nooo! 😭 (all around me i see fammiliar faces plays in backround)
Duuuuude this is what I was just saying about the new Crimes of Grindelwald ones! There were already 3 Newts from when the first movie came out, now in this second wave there's 5 more...and they still haven't made several characters. Some of them are cool and yeah I love Newt but I'm not going to get 8 versions of him when some of them are so similar...
All the fucking Jokers of Suicide Squad.
There has been 3 or 4 different scooby doo figures. There was 3 colours, Flocked and glow in the dark versions of scooby doo
That isn't a Porg, That's an Owl.
Funkoholic it's a joke 😂
Oh...I'm sorry. Getting old and grumpy I guess. I love your videos, always look forward to them.
Yeah. He's really good. And no need to apologise. I was just pointing out for you 😁
Yea there is already wayyy too many porgs
They made a flocked bob Ross lol 😂
I'm kind of bothered, but I know why it happens. Basically networks/companies license pops to be made to hype/support a product release (TV/Film/Game/etc). Look at the fact that Stranger Things has two full seasonal lines and is just over a year old.
Meanwhile I'm annoyed that DC/WB doesn't finish Batman the Animated series and released Robot-Batman and the Phantasm over other characters.
Awesome video :)
I like foot soldier
Just saying...Funko is a business and they have every right to milk a license for as much as they can. Also, if these waves are underwhelming then don't buy them! They'll get the hint when they don't sell.
Well at least the crash bandicoot ones have a couple of different sculpts (biker and jet pack)
The different pennywise ones are actually pretty cool. The crash bandicoot ones im still gonna buy, even though they are kind of stupid.
I think they should release more Sesame Street characters such as Kermit the frog re release and Telly Monster. Maybe a green grover because he was like that originally
They could start making characters like season 3 Flash pops. Season 3-5 arrow pops. Maybe Atrocitous would be cool. BUT MARIO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD NOT A FREAKING BILLION BOB ROSS!!!
I pray that funko makes the losers club from IT please!!!
*woah* , that's a lot of pops
Don't forget the krampus literally THE KRAMPUS
Always love ur vids
There’s 4 Gerard Way pops. Two ones for two of the different albums then those two with different paint on the face as HT Exclusive...
I love Crash Bandicoot, and I do think the Pops from the images we've seen look great, all of them, however when you consider how popular the series is and how great the rest of the cast is, it's a little ridiculous that they've released 6 variants of Crash Bandicoot himself, including the chase.

I just think 6 Crash Bandicoot variants in one wave is overkill, it's a shame Cortex is the only non-Crash Bandicoot pop in this set.
They should make more it pops!
And the crash set is awesome the first game I ever played one ps1 and fell in love
I agree I find the whole chase and exclusive thing at the moment is really out of control. I liked the flocked ones because I prefer that over the commons but it just too much and waters down the fun of the original pop.
I would probably get the original and flocked crash. Seeming that those are the only ones that seem cool. Also cortex, because why not.
It's not always Funko that dictates how many versions of a character are made. Sometimes it's the licensor. Also, Funko is a business. The goal of a business is to make money.

Just because they make a large amount of one item doesn't mean Funko has abandoned other lines or forgotten smaller franchises.
I’m honestly waiting for the tiki man from Crash. He’s my favorite from the game. Also Tawna would be cool too.
Unfortunately that's how they make their money.
Idk, I'm a sucker for painters so I got the huge paintbrush BOB Ross, the original, and the racoon one
Crash is just child hood it is amazing
What about Garfield? Undertale??? NINTENDO???
Cmon Funko get some new licenses
Or Black Dynamite
protoluigi yeah but black dynamite isnt as popular as nintendo or garfield
You realize Mario kart does this?
Mario
Cat Mario
Metal Mario
Baby Mario
4 Marios
Why didn't they make fake crash"trash"?
Crash Bandicoot wave is amazing what????
+Joseph Vargas it's not that's it's the quantity!!
Anyone know if i can already preorder the crash wave
Cynthia Hernandez I don't think so
Cynthia Hernandez yeah you can. I did yesterday
only the mortal kombats are the only ones im excited about.
They take an awesome idea and run with it, like for instance bob Ross they made one and NOW there is a whole line up of them. When they finally make a character or person that everybody's been wanting at first then they run with it and make a WHOLE line up of the SAME character. #MarketSaturation
The toys r us pops will be very rare if they close
+atomicatfish gaming yah!!
We need a part 2
I got the glow in the dark Crash Bandicoot in GAME for £14,99
Crash bandicoot is cool do you agree
My family loves that game crash
Yea they really need to stop. I'll take all of them
Is lolbit LE?
Stop crash badicoot!
NEVER!
at least some of the crash ones are diffrent sculpts
i agree . its kinda getting out of hand
I think the crash and porg chase is real I think it was a joke but the foot soldiers are cool plus there's a shredder as well
I enjoy it cuz this way i can choose wich one i want
Just buy your favourite Crash or none, you don't need to buy every single one lol.
Yes but they made 5 other crashes when they could've done other characters like the bosses or Coco
Gifton I bought a chase crash bandicoot online
Sherlock pops. Another one...
I like the crash bandicoot ones
I totally agree! I'm so tired of seeing unnecessary variants. Great video!
I think they should make multiples of the same. This is just your opinion and if they stop doing this they will probably run out of money
Why is all comic cons in the United States?! I'm disappointed at least have some in Canada
Mr.awesome yeah us Canadians don’t have a lot of stuff in here like they have in America
like that tiki mask they could have turned it into a pop. hopefully they make a series two way more characters not just crash
Also you are not buying a sertain collection mostly because it sells well you are doing it for you as a collector and because you love this.By saying that sounds a little like you also droped in the same level as the company.
