I think Funko has saturated the market. They used to be cool, with figures of characters that probably otherwise wouldn't get any merch, or unique versions of fan favorites. Now, they just churn out anything they can get their hands on. I used to have subs to all their mystery boxes, and I would collect every figure for characters that I even remotely liked. Now, unless it's something really creative, for a character i really love, I pass.

My main problem with the game is that I just don't like Funko Pops - why would I want a bulky, cheaply made plastic figure that looks nothing like the character it's supposed to be? I have never understood the appeal - someone bought me an andorian (from Star Trek) and I just find myself resentful of it because it either takes up too much space or I have to take the time to get rid of it somehow, but I'm far too ethical to just throw away something made of 100% non-biodegradable plastic. I've already tried listing it on eBay a few times but these things are so abundant, that I can't even get rid of it for the minimum starting bid with free postage (so I effectively cannot even *pay* someone to take it from me). In short - I do not want a video game for these things. 😝

1. Many of the characters have different weapons and playstyles 2. It's a lot more fun than many Lego games, because all lego games recycle the same puzzles OVER and OVER again.

There are some dlc packs, just like the latest LEGO Star Wars game.... This is not what MICROtransaction means 5. Grasping at straws Overall, this video is pointless and doesn't accomplish anything except to shit on a game that hasn't even released just out of (admittedly based) resentment for Funko.

I'm old enough to remember the same cynical criticisms being aimed at the very first Travellers Tales LEGO game before it released in 2005. Almost 20 years later, it's one of the best-selling and most loved video game franchises of all time. I really couldn't give a toss about Funko Pop figures, but I think this game is going to be a huge amount of fun. My Kids and I are really looking forward to playing this together in September.

Eh, could be worse. It could be one of those base game things like that Lego Dimensions or that one with the dragon toys where you have to buy separate toys at £10-£15 a pop just to put them on a base which get uploaded into the game.

Oh! You mean Skylanders? The franchise that murdered the Spyro series for about 10 years?
@submariNervous4 ай бұрын
True. Skylanders was pretty obviously doomed to fail and only really enjoyed what little "success" it did because of that awful mutant version of Spyro (and the utterly forgettable cartoon series they made to promote the game). At least Amiibos can be used across multiple games AND the actual figurines are pretty high-quality. That said, I recently heard the news that they're releasing an Indominus Rex Funko, and that each one will come with a code allowing the buyer to use her in their game. No mention of whether or not she can be accessed in-game without said code, but either way one would hope they're not making the special unlockable character a requirement to beat the game. 🤔

@@dyingstar24That's it. I thought it was called something to do with Sky in the title. Had no idea it had anything to do with Spyro though. Then again I never played either, only heard mention of them. ✨

@@submariNervousProblem is with Amiibo; isn't that restricted to Nintendo Switch? Regardless of quality, you'd still need a whole new piece of hardware to use them if you only have PC, Playstation or Xbox. 🥺 And true having an exclusive Funko pop figure with a code could be seen as cheap but unfortunately things with a separate code have been going on for years. But currently, since the game hasn't been released yet, we may be prejudging and she might be unlockable as standard. So those who don't pre order it have nothing to worry about and will probably just forget about the game anyway. I think that's kinda my main issue with the comments of this video; that people are judging like they've already spent £54.99 and played it... Meanwhile, it's not even out yet and it's clear that these commentators don't want it so they don't really need to worry surely. 🤔 I mean it's okay expressing an opinion but prejudging before the facts I can never be onboard with.

@@TheHufflepuffSaint Regarding the Amiibos' console-exclusivity, they're actually also compatible with a few Wii and 3DS games! (though I will give you the point for that one, since the eShop shutting down for all non-Switch consoles means fewer and fewer folks will be using them). That said, my point when bringing up Amiibos in the first place was simply that despite being restricted Nintendo console games, they still inherently have more bang-for-your-buck than the Skylanders figures since the latter are exclusive to one game and you never know when your interest will taper off. All THAT said, I do second the hope that the Indominus will be unlockable in the actual game, with the figure's code just being a way to get her right away (ngl the only reason I'm not buying the I-Rex figure myself is because the chase variant is ugly af and I don't want to risk ending up with that one lol. 😅) At the end of the day, it's as you said: We simply have to wait and do our best to reserve judgment until we know more.

While I do love TT Games, Funko Fusion is still the closest thing we have to a TT Games LEGO game right now since TT Games have been absolutely silent about their next project and Funko Fusion is made up of some of thier ex employees. While I don’t know how the game will turn out, this is all I have to fill the void TT Games has temporarily left me for I think 1-2 years, so for me I’ll play it, and I’ve already preordered it.
