[old man rant] ijust dont get the aesthetic appeal. But i never liked the Super Deformed manga/anime back in the day. [/old man rant]

I do agree with matt, that the obsessive collector gene that got me 70s war comics and Doctor Who Target novels and JLU figures would have hooked me on these, if i was in the target demo.

Obviously, since I un box them, I don't care about their "value" either. I just like how they look on my shelf. You don't get a lot of merch that can blend different characters from different franchises and still look good together. I love having my Han Solo next to my Randy Savage and they look like they both belong.

I think the fact that there *is* a unified aesthetic is much more important to the success of the line than what that aesthetic *is.*  Of course, you wind up with some characters suffering because of what that aesthetic actually is more than others (Bullwinkle looks totally generic while Rocky is instantly recognizable).

Most of the Targets around here shove the Pops in a weird spot people don't usually see unless they really look. Between that and passing multiple Targets on the way to my weekly allergist visits, I think I'll snag one easily

And there's more than Andre.  http://popvinyl.net/news/andre-the-giant-total-divas-sting-pops-and-more/

 

Oddly enough, there's a Hogan keychain and mystery figure listed on the site.  Given recent events, I wonder how that's going to work out.

 

But if you're going to have Flair, having Sting to pair with him would be pretty sweet.

 

And yes, I need that Andre figure.  Has to be a tall size so he can tower over the other ones I have.

 

mattdangerously is right, these are the Beanie Babies of our generations.  Damnit.

Sadly. Andre is not one of the 6" ones.... Big mistake.

 

I preordered the upcoming 6" Godzilla, the upcoming 6" Big Daddy (Bioshock), and from the Arkham Knight line: Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and Arkham Knight himself today.

I ordered my first one of these the other day: Ezio from AC.

I'm not really a big toy collector or anything, but these are neat looking and I thought a small group of them would look nice on the shelf where my PS4/3 sit, which is otherwise pretty barren.

That's how I started.....
