But it doesn't rhyme with white.

Did they have to agree with those being produced? Is there some US law that allows fair use for such tat?

I don't mind, vinyl is so niche that unless you're already collecting people usually have no clue what you mean when you mention it. The dude that mentioned Be@rbrick is spot on though. Even if the patterns on some are really cool they're way too samey/expensive.

A few of my favorite studios:

Unbox: http://store.unboxindustries.info/ less of an indie studio, does large runs sometimes as well as statuettes ranging from junji ito characters to Jodorowsky‎, to more cutesy mascot stuff like uamou.


Those Salad Fingers ones look strangely appealing.

I own so little collectible stuff that when we moved together my boyfriend bought me a large porcelain moose head for Christmas because he thought I should have a few ... things, to give off less of a serial killer vibe. Not sure how to feel about that. (At least it's a nice moose?)

I bought a Petyr Baelish one at a comicon years ago for 5 euro cause I thought "hey I like that character" and then like a year later I got the Bioshock Infinite guy under the same principle. They are now unboxed and sitting next to smaller blind bag figs of the flukeworm monster and Cancerman from the X-Files in front of my collectors edition Pipboy Fallout 4 copy.

GBS what is your verdict? Keep in mind this is the only nerd poo poo on display in my house.

Stop for me, it's the claw!



An ex and I binge watched Futurama years ago, she bought us a Fry and Leela funko pop to represent us as a couple. It was a bit difficult having to pretend I liked it, but the sentiment was nice. I have a friend who specifically likes the Pokemon Vulpix, and she bought 2 of the same funko pop, which had a felt finish instead of plastic (obviously at greater expense). She unboxed them immediately and started touching them up, what a crazy mofo! But in all seriousness I don't personally see the appeal, they mostly look like poo poo, the one of Kirby that someone shared earlier is hilariously bad. The company just seem to make one out of any trend they possibly can because I imagine it's so easy to mass produce, and collectors seem to want it in every part of their life. Will there be funko pop foods? Cars? Homes?

Anyone who plays Warframe is probably aware of Floofs - you can get soft toys as a reward in the space ninja game, and use them to decorate your ship. Some people have naturally collected so many that you can't really move without having one in your face. It gets to the point that it lags your PC or console almost to death but at least you don't have to spend real money on that collection.

This is only true if you have no idea what you're talking about.

Imperial Guard are pretty weak.

Custodes are pretty strong.

Try to build a 1000 point list from both and see which is cheaper. Hint : The stronger units are cheaper because you need to buy less boxes of them. The Guardsmen end up being more expensive because they're weaker and you need much more of them.

Not to mention most people who play warhammer aren't trying to be competitive, they just buy what they think looks cool then play games on a casual level. Not everyone is buying new units to own at tournaments. They're not out there buying tons of new kits just because they're what's currently strong, because next edition is likely to nerf all that shiny new poo poo anyways.

Everyone can gently caress right off unless they have a set of pewter termies and a dreadnaught. Its been a while since i played but painting them was fun!
