I was stoked to find all six Power Rangers and Rita and Zedd today at Gamestop, especially since that's so rare with how they only seem to ship preorders out, but wow...there are a lot of issues with these Pops. Rita and Zedd weren't bad except for the usual bent staffs, but every single Ranger had something very wrong with them. Tommy had a bent head and brown smudging on his forehead, Kim had scuffing around the boots and gloves, the paint on one of Billy's eyes had a gouge in it, Zack had white paint smeared down his arm, Trini had black missing from her hair line, and Jason had a scratch through the chest logo. Being that these are commons, I passed on all the Rangers. I did get Rita for now. Hopefully I find better looking figures later. Everything I've read says this is common with this set. I truly believe funko has officially reached the point of trying to do too much at once and is sacrificing quality for quantity. What made them successful was rare, hard to find pieces. That's not the path they are taking these days. The end of the pop craze is in sight.

I can give mass produced 12 dollar vinyl toys a pass for not being perfect, but man, there are starting to be more and more problems with almost every release of late.

Y'all see the target gold chrome Batman pop and tee? Nope. I didn’t know about it. Has anyone found the Target Exclusive Tommy Boy “Fat Guy in a Little Coat” POP? I have been striking out on that one.

I have been striking out on that one. I never see target exclusives. Except nightmare cupcake and lame star wars ones. I know this is always the story, and it "doesn't happen" but near me it really does. The employees take the good stuff. Fire jack jack is my best proof. I checked brickseek and targets website every day. It finally showed up at ONE location near me. I called to confirm stock the next day. It was there. When I showed up, the guy working that area told me they only received 1 and that it sold days ago. It showed up the day before. He was clearly keeping the remaining stock for himself. He even looked the part, as bad as it sounds to say. Wouldn't you know the very same night around midnight 3 of them went up on eBay from the same seller less than 15 minutes from me. Never saw deadpool mermaid or the box. Never saw 10 inch rex or thanos. Saw exactly 1 elastagirl, 10 inch scrooge, black panther box. Never saw pikachu. target. They deny this happens of course, but I can always find fye, hot topic, box lunch and Barnes and noble exclusives. Do collectors just not go there? Lmao. Only place worse than target is Wal-Mart because they straight up don't stock. Rant over. For now.

Anyone see the new Simpson pop proto images? Can't wait to add those to the collection! Lisa, Burns and Abe look amazing, I really don't want Bartman, I want BART! the original wave goes for so much, I was hoping we'd get slight variants of their regular looks. I can't justify buying Lisa if I don't know if we'll ever get normal versions of Bart, Homer, and Marge again. But honestly, if they go all in on the Simpsons, there is so damn much to choose from, and it would be a serious problem for my collection lol.

Went tigerzord hunting today. No luck. Picked up venomized cap and hulk at hot topic. Got clown deadpool, chase wasp and logo from smallfoot and b&n.
Went to target and it looked like a strikeout until I saw a lone capn crunch on the electronics desk. I'm assuming it was being held, but whem the associate walked away I made my move. I don't even feel bad about it.
