Hi Scott, I've PM'd answers to any questions because I've been blocked or edited but I'm gonna try to share. They are star wars stands from ebay. Search for 20 x VINTAGE STAR WARS ACTION FIGURE DISPLAY STANDS (BRAND-NEW)
I like that they are compact, clear and sturdy.

Thanks for sharing. Don't know how you would be blocked or edited as neither Ben nor I have done so to you and we're the only two who could have done so.jimpagett wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 4:32 am Hi Scott, I've PM'd answers to any questions because I've been blocked or edited but I'm gonna try to share.

The only admin thing I ever had to do with you was approve your first two posts as a newbie and that is long in the rear view mirror now.

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
Wild Surmise....
I'm working on an Eartha Kit (Meow) custom. In the process I'm deconstruction the Funko Julie. I get the head off and realize that the head, hair and cat ears are all separate pieces. (That's gonna save me some big time fabricating cat ears for Eartha) It's silly, but it strikes me strange that the cat ears were formed as separate, pegged pieces and not sculpted into the hair? Maybe it's a quality control thing where they didn't want to paint them.. Or maybe (Crazy part) Funko will use the ear mold for other catwimmin?!

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I just read Toys R Us may be liquidating all of its US stores. Announcement to come on Monday. Be sad if they close. It was my go to place to get these figures in Wave 1. I know Funko sells through other retailers as well but this will be a blow to many toy companies if it happens.

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
Still confused, sorry. You said "vintage" but Scott Sebring linked to "modern". I assume the Funkos fit only one of the peg sizes?

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I think they call them Vintage because they fit the vintage Kenner Star Wars figures. I ordered two sets and they work great with the Funko figures. With Super7 doing Universal Monsters, Planet of the Apes and a few other great lines I'm going to order some more stands too. They work with them as well.

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I realise that. The "modern" ones do seem to have a different peg size? So it's "vintage" for the Funko line?

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
Bump. I think this is going to kill off many future toy lines. Losing a huge retailer like TRU to sell your merchandise. Sad if this happens on Monday.LizardKing wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 9:07 pm I just read Toys R Us may be liquidating all of its US stores. Announcement to come on Monday. Be sad if they close.

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
any updates? With TRU shutting the doors Funko just lost its biggest or one of its biggest customers. Series 2 might be dead on arrival.

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I wouldn’t worry too much about that with these figures. Here in Ohio we got the Mattel figures there but the Funko ones were never at any of the locations I visit in Northern Ohio. I bought mine through my Comic Book dealer. He was able to order them through his distributor. I have seen them in BAM and Meijer a department store chain as well.LizardKing wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:27 pm any updates?

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I just noticed something of "variant" where Bookworm is concerned.
Top photo has flesh colored hands and lighter brown boots. Notice the book accessory is in the lower left of pic. Also the gold trim in more pronounced. Now look at the bottom pic and see that the hands are dark (gloved?), the boots are darker and the book accessory is at the top the package. Has anyone else noticed this before?

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
Hmm. It looks like the top image is a digital illustration, not a photo. Lots of the Funko Batman box art show images that were created before the figures or even prototypes were produced. Look at the images on the back of the Batmobile box for example: Catwoman has a mask, Robin has no "R" with a head sculpt that actually looks like Ward and the Batmobile is missing some of its red pinstripe.
I'm sure their are lots of other minor differences between promo art and product if you care to look.
Now where is wave 2?!

Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I don't believe a series 2 is coming. Makes no sense why they didn't have any on display at the toy show a few months ago. For that reason it should be clear the line was canceled. Your biggest show and you have nothing to show off 1 year after saying you'd see a series 2?
Re: Funko!!! 4 inch figs!!!!
I agree it makes no sense to have no further news other than an Exec saying "stop worrying Wave 2 is coming". With that said, if there's a Wave 2 I'm in, if there isn't I save a $100 or so. Win either way.
