Alpha 5. Perfectly executed. Needs a metallic version as well but that's my vote.

KERMIT!

 

[djlunchbox]

Super Hero Kermit? Nah it's cool but nothing stands out to be considered Pop of the year.

contenders:

1. Weapon X
2. IceMan
3. Megazord
4. Dragon Shield Ranger
5. Tony the Tiger
6. HT Maleficent Chase
7. Chase Dipper Pines*
8. ECCC Captain America

I don't want this to get outta hand list wise, pops gotta be more than just limited or based on personal likes. They need to represent something significant for the line or history of the character. They should also contain something incorporated into the pop design wise that makes it stand out, especially when taken out the box.

That's just how I feel. I'm putting an * next to dipper chase becasue while it is cool, not sure if there was enough changed from the non chase to the chase to make it a great pop. Like personally i think the Frodo Chase is better than the Dipper Chase because the pop has more drastic changes from regular to chase. But that's just my thoughts

I have no clue what the hell dipper is

Don't **** on Alpha. First pop that I know of with that head shape. Hands on hip like ay-yi-yi!

 

[Grine]

Who cares about his stance? That pop is significant to the culture.

And it looks freaking stupid... he came out of funko retirement to don the shield... and you talking about a stance? Smh.

So you ain't watch the power rangers?

I think pop of the year for me was ECCC cap. Especially since I've been eyeing down the hot toys version.

 

[kilroythedon]

Like I was born in the 80s as well but... who ain't watch power rangers? It was literally the biggest thing on the planet. Maybe I'm bugging.

OG series I def watched when I was a kid.

No shame in that.

 

[kilroythedon]

If you didn't watch the power rangers growing up you were most likely a weirdo... the Capri sun cooler talk in school use to be epic.

 

[doxen5703]

I was born in 94 but I still watched it. Even still watch it currently. Nostalgia.

hitting hot topics. New chase flocked sticker.

I watched a 2 season of it. Not a big thing for me. I was more of a cartoon head: thundercats, TMNT, Xmen, etc..

Regardless of the significance of the show, that's your nostalgia...ain't nothing special about that pop in any way.

That's the equivalent of the John Snow pop and the bloody John Snow Pop :/

This

Sdcc will have Heman and skeleton new poses they will be con exclusive though (predicting)

 

[djlunchbox]

Reading some posts I'm agreeing more with what's being said. Dragon Shield Red Ranger while cool really doesn't being an element to POTY category as opposed to Alpha 5.

Contender List:

1. Weapon X
2. IceMan
3. Megazord
4. Alpha 5
5. Tony the Tiger
6. HT Maleficent Chase
7. ECCC Captain America
8. FYE Jimi Hendrix.


While it's hard to be unbiased, one of the main criteria's i feel is the pop should warrant a great interest from a collector who doesn't collect that line at all. And not because it's store/shop exclusive or LE numbered. I've gone through 50+ pagges of funko blog posts for 2017, and the only pops i feel are missing from that list are those from Destiny and Overwatch. With us only being halfway done through the year, I feel there's a slim chance something will drop that's gonna be mind blowing.

I didn't realize that the Justice League movie Superman pop will have a new action pose.

Meaning we may see more of these "superhero landing pose" pops, especially for batman.
