Shantae The Half-Genie Hero Is Now Available In Funko Pop Form

Eww, what a waste of money. Who would buy such an ugly thing. It's like an ugly Amiibo that does t do anything and is t worth anything. Straight trash.

Sonic Racing was the only Funko that I got because it was a collector one time item.

Wow that one’s a looker, might have to pick it up. A lot of Pop figures look quite generic but that one’s brilliant.

I guess it's cool to see Shantae be recognised, but the figure has completely erased her personality...

I'll be skipping this

Call me when she gets a Nendoroid.

Seriously! Which of Lucifer's arch-demons did the people at Funko sell their soul to, in order to convinced literally everyone on Earth to share their IP rights?

They must have done something like that. These things are ugly and low quality. I'd much rather have one nice figure than 30 of these abominations.

Figma, Nendroid, Bishojo, or almost any of the many quality Japanese made figures are so much nicer! And even though they are Japanese, they make figures for western franchises too. I've seen lots of Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Disney, Terminator etc... They're more famous for their own figures of course but they make all sorts.

that image (in the tweet, that is) makes the funko look so much more light-skinned than it is it's kind of ridiculous, i was like "wow they really beefed this one more than usual"
looks about like it always does, though. i'd take a figma, but a nendoroid maybe not...they like to homogenize much the same way funko pops do but for $30+ more

Incoming hate train choo choo!
Yes I agree the funko pops do look dumb, but lets all remember NOT TO HARRASS ANYONE WHO LIKES THEM! There have been too many times where I have seen people or kids attacked online for liking a freaking figure.

Terrible and dull, the only good ones are Big Daddy(Bioshock) and Brumak (Gears Of War); to me, those fit perfectly with the Funko pop style.

The financial profitability of these figures makes other co.s willing to license their ip. The figure is fine, but I would want something a little more detailed.

@MsJubilee Add the Power-Pelleted Blue Pac-Man Ghost to that lineup.

As for this Funko Pop, I do want to buy it to support the franchise, but not for myself. I'm currently looking at some gifting avenues amongst my friends...

This just makes me want a Shantae amiibo that much more. Never really got the appeal of these things.

I'll take a Amiibo anyday over Funko becase of their dual use Display and NFC bonus read for extra stuff.

@mesome713

I hate Pops but love Shantae so I bought two of them

I've wasted $20 on faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar worse things

Maybe the next Funko should be The Great Mighty Poo.

yikes i have never seen people complain this much over an adorable funk pop figure before lol. it's just a figure xD it's like any darn chibi character just with black eyes -like big whoop.

it's super adorable and would love to have one <3

Wew the salt down here

@T7Hokage017 never understood the appeal of these. Such ugly wastes of money creating needless garbage.
Basically any other figure is better. Somebody must be buying them though as they've been around for so long

This is one of those things that most people seem to hate.

Nonnnnnnnnnne.

Remember Shantae? She's back. In Funk Pop form.

The game is a Game with Gold now for those interested.

She looks really pale. No buy from me.

I hate the way Funko Pops look in general. They're pretty ugly and and if you want a cute chibi figure of your fave character than I instead recommend nendoroids.

Also she's very pale...

There's always been a weird issue around her skin color. I remember that one time they made her ghost white and it looked wild and made no sense given her look and genie motif. Since then they've tried to rectify the design issue but it's as if the artists can't decide on a nice toasty shade of brown/tan that makes sense. There will be official art where she straight up looks more light grey than anything. I don't get their aversion to uniform design and it's always made this character annoying to me.

Even here the Funko Pop looked grey. It's like... come on... please don't fear moca and almond and sands. I know you artists can just slide the shader a bit more and you won't freaking die.

That's so cute!

I’ve been playing Pirate’s Curse for the past 2 weeks and have been thinking it would be awesome to get a line of action figures around her. I hate Funko Pops though, really wish she was getting a proper release from the likes of Figma, SH Fiiguarts, Super 7, Mezco or any of the good ones. Still this is one of the best Pops I’ve seen.
