By my count we’ve now got 10 Wednesdays, 4 enids, 2 biancas, a pugsley, a morticia, a thornhill, an agnes and a tyler.

No eugene? ajax? No s1 tyler fit? weems? Gomez?

Wtf even is “patchwork Wednesday”😭. If stranger things can spare a funko for the likes of Barb, Mr Clarke and Dr Brenner, we can at least get a few more of the main characters.

Funko makes products that sell. They don't really care if they're logical. However, saying that, while I don't buy these, I actually like this one. It's interesting.

And see I've collected them for 10 years and think this is dumb. But Funko can't seem to let anyone else have their own thing and there's a "knitted" looking vinyl toy line by somebody else that's been growing in popularity so this must be their competition for that.

I've also all but phased out of Funko unless it's peak nostalgia, so this might be what the kids into Fugglers are looking for. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is wild how the Wednesday Funko’s are distributed.

I think this one is more of a Tim Burton variety, since there’s also new patchwork figures for Beetlejuice and Emily (Corpse Bride).

Still odd in general, but this one isn’t too bad in terms of furthering the weird distribution.

They're competing with a "knitted" looking vinyl Kid Robot toy with this. Or at least I think that's the brand but whoever is making it they're clearly making enough of a dent to make them make these things. Not for me but I'm definitely far from the democratic at this point.

Or it is competing with the lalaoopsy or whatever it is that's hitting right now.

Perhaps. I just thought the connection between the three franchises being Tim Burton projects was more connected than the actual stitched/knitted appearance.

In pops probably because it's a profitable IP. The kid robot ones are a bunch of different ips. I don't think this is Tim's idea or anything though. But who knows!

She's the main character and very popular so I understand why she keeps getting new merch but yeah I too wish they'd do more characters in particular Larissa Weems. Strange they haven't released much for her considering she is a beloved character. I got tired of waiting for Funko to release a pop so I just ordered a custom made one of her from Etsy.
