Random: Another Banjo-Kazooie Funko Pop Is On The Horizon, But It's Still Pretty Horrifying

Looks like any other Funko Pop, not sure what is scary about this one

I'm happy with my amiibo, thanks.

@MatoFilipovic The dead, lifeless stare.... shutters
Why do people like these things?!?!? If you wanna get a deformed collectable, get a Nendoroid or something. At least those are cute enough for this brand.

If the internet would stop advertising this tacky, dead-eyed, soulless Funko trash that would be great, thanks.

Looks fine. I can't stand pop vinyls but this one looks decent.

Banjo-Kazooie will finally be widespread in every Gamestop again, but locked up in a plastic jail. Alongside other marketable characters and real people, in the place of games.

The eyes are awful.

kill it with fire.

I'll take the Amiibo over this Abomiination.

If the bird wasn't there then I'm nost sure I would have guessed in was banjo.

This is one of the lesser ugly Funko Pop figures, but the lifeless eyes always kill it.

I'll stick with my amiibo

These always remind me of all the "button-eyed" people in Coraline 🤣 If you meet this version of Banjo, you aren't safe!

As others have said, the amiibo will do it.

And maybe I'll track one of those controller holders of Banjo-Kazooie.

EDIT

what horrors have those eyes seen?

Considering that in my eyes, Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are more or less gore for kids (characters blow up and get limbs/heads separated from the body* when they get defeated for no reason, no blood though), I'd say they have seen a lot of horrors.

*dismembered was the word I was looking for at the time I posted my comment

@Beetlebum91 : It's one of the least worst-looking ones. I'm just grateful for the fact that these things are typically so damn ugly as it dissuades me from buying characters that I would otherwise have an interest in (and my amiibo addiction is bad enough as it is ).

It's kinda cute, I don't hate it.
But I feel both Banjo and Kazooie work better in plush form.

I just think that, like what another user said, Nendoroids look WAY better than Funko pops. I don’t think Funkos are always ugly, but they look pretty lifeless and stiff. I think the main issue is the eyes, and some Funko pops lack mouths as well. The way Funkos look do not fit a lot of the pop culture characters almost 100% of the time, especially if the character in question is supposed to look cute; I saw a Kirby Funko in a short video and the figure looked absolutely TERRIBLE, since it took away key features that make him look adorable.

I don’t own Nendoroids (though I’d like to) but from what I’ve seen, they have exchangeable parts and faces that let you give them a wide range of facial expressions and positions. Not only do I feel those look cuter, but they also appear closer to the original character design. Plushies and Amiibos would work too! The latter is basically a figurine and has way more detail than a Funko.

I don’t get the disgust around Funko Pops. This one in particular looks fine, but that also might be since stuffed bears, similar to Banjo’s design often have similar beads as eyes.

What always kills me are the super oversized funkos of characters that nobody cares one whit about, like some background alien in a star wars spin off, who is asking for that?? And knowing that there must be thousands of them out there just filling shelves taking up space sitting there.

I've got a few funkos and I love what they do, but the style just doesn't work with everything. This guy looks like he's from some weird teen fan drawing or something.

They could have added a glint of paint so the eyes don’t look as if Banjo and Kazooie are assessing the worth of one’s apparently soon-to-be-proffered soul.
They should add a pullstring that when tugged , Banjo asks, “Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?”

Way ahead of you, Sa- i mean, Banjo.

When our kids inherit this stuff you know it's all going to landfill, right?

I guess they might, maybe, possibly keep one? It's not going to be this one. They won't even know who this is!

I feel like a person could possibly paint the eyes so they look more like in-game.

Looks quite cute. Kazooie even has eyelashes.

Still, recently I have been thinking about collecting a few Amiibos.

Yuck. Funko Poops, more like.

Well this comment section made me realize I don't focus on looking at the eyes on Funko Pops. And now that I did focus on the eyes. Well now I understand why people dislike them.

Personally for me, I don't like Funko Pops too much. Only certain few Funko Pops look decent-good to me.

FunkoPops are just screaming 'demon-possessed'

Although I think maybe that's the point.

I hate funko pops with a passion.

Every time there's new Banjo merch I get excited, and then I see it's some awful stylised thing like a funko pop I have no interest in haha

I mean thats just Funko Pops. They just look ugly in general. Imo the Pac Man, Sonic and Morgana ones look worse.

I'm loving all the hate for pop figures in the comments.
