The Simpsons Pop! Television Vinyl Figure Series 1 by Funko

The Simpsons Pop! Television Vinyl Figure Series 1 by Funko - Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Marge Simpson & Crusty the Clown

Is Funko’s line of Pop! vinyl figures the coolest toy line ever or what!?! It’s seriously a mishmash of the most popular properties in pop culture history. From super heroes and Star Wars to music legends and now…The Simpsons!!! Yes, television’s first family is getting the Pop! treatment by Funko and they look awesome. The Simpsons Pop! Television Series 1 includes Homer, Bart, Marge and Krusty the Clown.

Homer even comes with a half eaten donut, while Bart comes with his trademark skateboard. The Blot assumes this means Series 2 will be following shortly with Lisa and her saxophone? With a line of Simpsons figures there is seriously an endless supply of characters to choose from. Each The Simpsons Pop! Television Vinyl Figure Series 1 stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. While these figures won’t hit store shelves until November, you can preorder them now at EntertainmentEarth.com here for $9.99 each.

Jon-Paul Kaiser 36” Maori Warrior Qee

Toy2R - Jon-Paul Kaiser 36” Maori Warrior Qee

The fourth design in Toy2R’s upcoming 36" Artist Qee Collection has debuted online and it’s awesome! Jon-Paul Kaiser chose to honor the fierce Maori Warriors with entry in this series by incorporating their unique tribal tattoos. Maori tattoos are among the most distinctive tattoos in the world and have their own identity amongst the Polynesian tattoos. Tattooing is a sacred art among the Maori and is very beautiful, consisting of curved shapes and spirals in intricate patterns. Tā moko is the permanent body and face marking by the Māori. Traditionally it is distinct from tattoo and tatau in that the skin is carved by uhi (chisels) rather than punctured. This left the skin with grooves, rather than a smooth surface.

Standing a whopping 3 feet tall, Jon-Paul Kaiser’s Maori Warrior XL Scale Qee has a limited edition run size of just 36 pieces and will retail for $2,800.
