...What? Did you think a just God in heaven would give you Misties something OTHER than Funko Pops?
There's no God here! Only Coily! Hehehe!
>>6157970
"Awww, gee, Coily, I didn't realize what I was wishing. I'm sorry for everything I said. Can't we call the whole thing off? Isn't there anything I can do? Please let me take back my wish."
"NO! I own your ass now, fatboy!"

OMG MST3K is final-
>>6157960
>>6157962
I hate fuckno poops, but it's an inevitablity that they will acquire every single western license in existence. It's what they do.

>I came here from the catalog and was actually excited for a second
What did i ever do you to OP?
Why're you so mean to me?
>>6158040
I dont see ben10 or older cartoon network cartoons getting any
>>6158133
>I will never have a Funko Pop of Argit
God damnit...
>>6158040
They've actually neglected their Hasbro licenses. The standard horse figurines sell but they barely bothered with Pops. GO Joe got a few and Transformers got even less. They didn't make Jem because they want to produce stuff people will actually purchase.
MST3K is only getting these because the show's been off the air so long no one really cares about it anymore. The bitch arguments between the old cast & crew have also stalemated things
>Mike Nelson is alt-right now and the rest don't want to deal with him anymore, plus Joel & Fallon hate each other and have for a long time, not to mention the 2 or 3 separate "riff" companies they've formed because they can't work together.
God dammit, you got me excited for painted over plastic molds manufactured in high quantity with a template package design. Fuck POPS!, fuck funko, and fuck OP for tricking me again.
Ugh. Fuck Funko Pops. I'll just stick with the Shout Factory figures for now, thanks.
Maybe if we're lucky, the Pops will sell enough to warrant producing actually good figures.
>>6157958
ive never seen mst3k. is it good?
>>6159002
It's fantastic backround noise stuff and most of it is up on youtube anyway, so i think it's worth checking out.
>>6158230
Oh, that explains why they're currently producing new episodes.
>>6158963
>Gets as good as Reaction figures.
>But it gets a SOL, Deep 13, or Theater playset(s) maybe.
Hmm...
>>6158230
Somebody needs to read up on the subject before they spout garbage, and that would be (You).
Weren't they more or less pieced together from shit found at goodwill?
They couldn't be that hard to replicate full scale on your own.
>>6159130
Yes and no. The original parts are hard to track down, especially on Tom Servo. The show's prop master had to custom cast Tom's torso to make spare parts. The greble on his torso was from a very rare model that just couldn't be found anymore.
But the good news is that there is a guy on Etsy & eBay selling Crow & Tom replica puppet kits for around $300 each. Pricey, but since they're screen accurate and cast from the original parts, its a fair price for hardcore fans.

Wheres cambot?
>>6160291
Who do you think is taking the picture?
>>6160629
It's rumor.
That being said, Joel DID go out of his way to keep Mike happy when he announced the relaunch. Besides letting Mike sell digital copies of his episodes (Mike was eternally butt-hurt that he saw no money off of the show's DVDs or Mallon selling the streaming rights and such), Mike basically has an open invitation to join the revival anytime he wants as a writer.
The only reason he declined to participate in the revival is that he's invested so much time and resources into Rifftrax, that he'd lose that if he came back to MST3K. And Joel prefers the idea of both MST3K and Rifftrax existing side by side but never acknowledging each other, in terms of separate companies with no real incest between the two.

Actually Joel was the one most "butthurt" by Mallon. Mike worked out a deal to sell MST3k episodes through rifftrax, and sends the entire cast residual checks even though he isn't obligated too. Trace said he was shocked when he got his first check for it out of the blue. As for the reboot, Joel unilaterally ended Cinematic Titanic and cut off all contact with the other cast members until after the reboot was announced, funded, and cast. No one had an opportunity to come back till after the fact. Mike is also the only cast member who hasn't said anything negative about the reboot.

>mfw, the Crow figure is in a collectable box set that is out of print and woefully expensive on Amazon.
Kill me now.
FUNKO YOU, MISTIES!
Okay, /toy/, I think it's time we need to go on a manhunt. Their offices are even in Washington so somebody could take out their higher ups and run back into the mobs.
>>6159088
>none of the Mike-era cast or writers are involved
The show would be better off remaining dead.
>>6163910
I thought Trace was working on it, he was Crow for half of Mike's run.
Also Mike, Bill, and Tom still do things for rifftrax.
