I want Willy Wonka's hat as a regular Playmo part. It would add variety to the Victorian hats.

My feeling is that the hat is not detachable, though I may be very wrong. The packaging says that Wonka is a 2-piece, & the figure has a walking stick or cane in its hand, which I think must be the additional piece beyond the "clickie."

Wonka himself would add a little variety to the Victorian.

And of reduced to normal Klicky size, the dwarf body for the Oompa Loompas would be great!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Even if it was detachable, it would be useless, as AFAIK the figures are about 15 cmts tall  :'(  (6 inches)

Some of them work, like Willie Wonka, some others don't, like the Ninja Turtles. Don't like the stupid increase to six inches. I think Funko is trying to target the people who buy their Pop! figures, if you've seen those.

And a point - making  money, although not necessarily to the benefit of the product's reputation.

A clever repost!

Thank you, Graham.  It seemed too good an opportunity to miss.

Good point!  (Same joke again!)
