Funko x Playmobil Officially Launches! EE-Exclusive TMNT Fig joins Ghostbusters, Doctor Who and more!

Well, I think this is kinda different from an exihbit or a review....

I have mixed feelings about this. It's sacrilege, for starters! 

Then.. in a way, they are cute (duh, playmo!), but they are the wrong size - so what do we want them for?!

AND ... well.. I hate ninja turtles (who came up with THAT idea!? even sillier than biker mice from Mars or whatever it was)... I don't know anything from Doctor Who (apart from the name), barely know Willy Wonka (it was a Johnny Depp movie), don't really like Ghostbusters (why OH WHY!?).. And not a REAL fan of Back To The Future. So..

My wallet rejoices.

What I DO want is all those hairs in normal playmoversions.

I actually wish they were in the smaller, normal size... I probably will skip them at the 6 inch sizes, though Willy Wonka, Marty McFly, and the two Doctor Who Klickies are gorgeous in my opinion.

Dr Who fan so I will get the two of those probably, and of course I must get the Willy Wonka ones since I work for a chocolate company. That is the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka version, and not the later Johnny Depp one btw. I like the looks of those four the best also. It will be interesting to see if their Ghost Busters does ok since it's up against real Playmobil ones this year. They may need to keep the license streams separate for best success.
Ghostbusters joke: They really shouldn't cross the license streams...

The downward spiral continues.

Note how we find out about this from OTHER places. Just sayin'

I feel betrayed by Geobra in so many ways 

but looking on the positive side....with Geobra entering the licensing world, we'll be able to get some new parts whenever they are of similar size and compatible

6 inch figures?? So that is 15,2 cm, twice the size of a normal klicky...
Maybe one for use as a giant? I can´t think of another way to incorporate such one in my own playmo.
As a range of seperate collectible items for display, I´m totally not interested in them.
Additionally their looks are not very playmo-like anymore imho, so I agree that the downward spiral continues.

Agreed about their looks, and not just their faces - they seem quite inanimate, solid, staring, plastic lumps.
