Super7 x FUNKO ReAction Figures Buffy and Firefly

[tlc38tlc38]

Official news from Brain at Funko:

(This was posted on the boards over at FunkoFunatic)

I can tell you this scoop. Buffy, Willow, A Gentlemen from Hush, Spike, Angel and Oz will be series 1.

-----------------------------------------
I was hoping for Xander & Giles in series 1 BUT the biggest news of all is Brian says "series 1" which indicates they have plans for more in this series!

No word yet on which characters are getting the POP! vinyl treatment.

Here's hoping for series 2 ReAction: Xander, Giles, Cordelia, Faith, Anya, & ...I'll leave the 6th figure up in the air because it's a tough choice between Tara, Dawn, Riley, Adam, Drusilla, & The Master

Man, I wished Hot Toys would make the Firefly lineup. There are more than enough Browncoats to make them profit.

I love Firefly, but I don't think they would be profitable enough for Hot Toys. Especially at that price point. It would be a huge risk for HT to even consider.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I will most likely only get the pop vinyls.

Nitro recently sent me some amazing mystery mini's for the Big Bang Theory from Funko and those are the best things ever! I truly hope they consider doing those for Buffy/Firefly. Imagine the endless possibilities.

Buffy & Firefly ReAction figures are up for preorder at Entertainment Earth. They retail for $9.99 each.

I'm glad to see the gentleman. Very awesome indeed.

I placed my preorder with Entertainment Earth for the 6-set of ReAction figures yesterday! I really hope the ReAction figures AND pop vinyls sell extremely well so we get more than just one series. I really want Giles and Xander as well as other characters.

 

[BuffyGirl]

There are still action figures from long ago for both Buffy and Angel that I want. I don't know if I could start a new collection unless it was for Angel.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I realize it's not Funko but I'm still in the process of buying Buffy/Angel 6" from the past. Got three coming and Cuttersky, a member here, is kind enough to be giving me another. There are a bunch I'm still wanting so I will probably be buying these for the rest of my life.

I won't buy the reaction figures because the figures from the past are enough for me.

Legacy is a different story.

Having seen Funko's releases for other properties, they've definitely become a company to watch. Still not sold on the retro look for the Re-Action figures (maybe I'll love the Buffy ones when I see them) but I sure hope these Whedon lines get some Legacy treatment soon snough. The GOT line looks pretty great for a first go, and I'd have no choice but eat up any Joss lines in a similar style.

6-Inch Firefly is a no brainer. You could be done in two waves and fans would need all 9 crew members. I just hope Buffy's previous merch isn't putting Funko off persuing a Legacy line because there's still a ton of characters and looks left untouched, plus a few iconic figures that could do with updating. And then there's Angel. We never even got a Gunn figure, or a decent Fred. I would kill for those.

 

[BuffyGirl]

​I would do almost anything for an Angel run.

Meh. Easy pass. Will hold out for a 6-inch line for either/both shows.

 

[sueworld]

Dear god this must be the ugliest piece of Buffy merchandise that I've ever seen.

Very easy pass.

I actually like them....or maybe I'm just desperate for ANYTHING new in ANY Buffy line. I hope they sell well enough so we get a series 2 because I hate when Xander and Giles get the shaft.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Hmmm....Yeah, I'm not feeling these at all. I'll stick with the vinyls, but hope these sell well too.

 

[Protozaius]

I'm not quite sure I understand this whole retro movement.

Are there collectors that really want everything to look like it was made by Kenner in the '80's?

I don't understand it myself. You have people nitpick HT figures even when they look perfect, then you'll have people rave over these $10 figures that look absolutely nothing like the characters they are meant to portray.

Those look worse than I thought they would. I didn't realize how popular Oz was either, I wouldn't have thought he'd be in the first wave for any Buffy collectible series.

It was confirmed by a poster on Funkofunatic.com that a SPIKE VAMPIRE variant will be made for the ReAction line.
