Disney Funko Pop! Vinyl Series 4

The forth installment of the Disney Funko Pop! line is due for a July 2012 release. After seeing some previews at Comic Con, this is another can’t miss for myself. The line up is incredible. We get the traditional mix of Pixar, classic Villains, 1000 Acre Woods and a pop culture icon.

Besides Carl and Ellie from Up, this is Pixar’s cutest couple. Wall-E and Eve are paired up for Series 4. I really enjoy how Funko gives us pairs from movies in each series. Wall-E looks perfect, all scared with the droopy eyes.

Although these two never actually meet, they are from the same animated classic… Fantasia. So while the pair up isn’t traditional, I think putting one of the most revered Villains with perhaps the most beloved form of Mickey is fantastic. Chernabog looks menacing even in Funko’s traditionally cute form. Sorcerer Mickey has nicely sculpted robes, a hat with a touch of character and a classic look to his face.

We already have Jack and Sally, now we have two more inhabitants of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas world. Brilliant job by giving the Mayor two faces. Oogie Boogie looks spectacular with some definition to his sack body and dice in hand.

Jack Sparrow is the first POTC character in the Funko series. Looks like they got a bunch of clothing detail in there.

We already have Snow White, so Funko decided to pair up two other characters from Disney’s most storied classic. Grumpy looks… well, grumpy. The Evil Queen looks as good as Series One’s Maleficent. Her over sized crown is a nice touch and you can’t forget the apple.

Cinderella is our princess for this set.

Tigger hops in to give us another Winnie the Pooh figure.

And it took four series, but Goofy finally makes the cut. His eyes look absolutely awful. I know they could not go with the traditional Funko black eyes because his whole body is black, but at least give him black pupils, come on.

Disney Funko Pop! at Comic Con 2012

In addition to a few Disney Vinylmation releases, this year’s San Diego Comic Con will also see a ton of exclusive Disney licensed Funko Pop! vinyls for purchase. I enjoy the fun nature of the Pop! line and have collected all three sets so far released… along with a few of the event variants. This year’s SDCC lineup has some can’t miss and unique choices. Baltar over at Vinylmation Kingdom is to blame for showing me these and the resulting flow of money out of my wallet.

Funko Disney Pop! Vinyl Series 3 Explained

Funko Disney Pop! Vinyl Series 3
Where: Disney Stores and Online
Price: $12.50

The Disney Store surprised us Thursday with the appearance of Pop! Vinyl Series 3 online. Coming only 4 months after Series 2, this set gives a strong character selection and seems to step it up a little bit on the designs. With seemingly more hats, accessories and such and maybe even a little more detail overall. Funko also likes sticking in multiple characters from the same movie in each series. This one includes 2 from Alice, The Little Mermaid and The Incredibles.

Alien
Toy Story

Amazing! Honestly, I was looking at my Disney collection 3 days ago and said “I need more Toy Story Alien stuff.” He’s my 2nd favorite Disney character.

Ariel
The Little Mermaid

Perfectly designed. Except for Hook, my favorite design of this set.

Cheshire Cat
Alice in Wonderland

All the Vinylmation now this… plenty of Cheshire Cats to add to your collection now. Love the huge smile and tail.

Donald Duck

Like the classic look of the design.

Edna Mode
The Incredibles

Not complaining, but the Funko designers really enjoy The Incredibles characters. Great choice to put Edna in here.

Elastigirl
The Incredibles

Perfect to put next to the Mr.

Captain Hook
Peter Pan

Wow, perfect all around. The hat is brilliant. The hare and mustache look great. He has the hook of course. The added touch of the sword. And the design is great right down to the boots.

Mad Hatter
Alice in Wonderland

I think Funko stepped it up this series. Mad Hatters is perfectly over-sized and he even has a cup of tea.

Winnie the Pooh


The face looks very simple, yet amazing. And not only is he holding a honey pot… but check out the other hand. It has honey on it!
Ursula
The Little Mermaid

The evil smile and the nicely done tentacles make this one of my favorites as well. I like how the designers varied up the arm positions to give each figure more character.
