Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

      Ty! It was so good. I was so disappointed when it got just shit on by the fan base. I was never huge into anime, but I did watch the original, and thought the live action was really good and faithful where it counted.

      After Dragonball Evolution, I can no longer be convinced that live-action anime adaptations will ever work.

      Go full blown animated or don’t even try.

        Avatar the last airbender serie is a pretty cool adaptation.

          It’s also widely hated by the fan base. Maybe not completely fairly though, although not completely unfairly either.

        Nah, it was stylish and goofy in a way that made you realize how goofy the original was.

        See? People are so upset that the girl playing Faye didn’t make them feel the way the original did when they were 12.

          I mean, I always thought Faye was obnoxious with unflattering clothes- but I also loved the live action series.
