From my pfp, it's obvious that I like The Transformers. But that's because I grew up watching the old tv shows. That's as far as my pop culture obsession goes.
And Funko Pops are dumb. Why not have a toy that can transform into either a car (or object) that you can play with, or a fully posable robot action figure that you can with, instead of just look pretty on a shelf? Even Soundwave, the tape player transformer, has more functionality than those Pops.
You dont need to justify anything to me. Fuck man who doesnt like G1 optimus prime?
Thanks comrade.
Actually Funky Pops are ugly as shit.
Love to have all my favorite characters with the same loaf of bread head and beady eyes.
Yeah, I have to agree. I really don't get why some people like those things. It's the ultimate "I work in an office but I want show my nerdy side" desk piece. Totally boring.
I always thought the Masterpiece Transformers were cool, but could never justify spending that much money on toys.
Yeah, I like the Masterpiece line too and I can't justify spending that much money either. But I've noticed Hasbro learned how to make more articulate figures from Takara's MP Transformers. I think it's Titans Return and War For Cybertron you'd want to see. Less expensive than the MP toys. Also, there's some good unofficial Transformers toys out there that cost less.
But I do want just MP Optimus and MP Megatron so I can have them battle until I croak. That would be fun.
I have to confess I was really into Transformers too when I was younger, not so much these days.
I know what you mean. The live action movies kinda killed it for me, although the Bumblebee movies are good.
For me, in general, I'm just not as interested in pop culture stuff as I used to be, maybe even 95% disinterested.
It wasn't any single thing for me, I just got more interested in other things
That's cool. For me it was getting older. Just got tired of all of it.
zooms in on profile pic, sees Optimus Prime with the nasty reverse jam, "hell yeah"
