Funko Retro Toys Advent Calendar 2024 🎩 | ADVENT DAY 5

[@carink7966]

That last row was such a cop-out. I agree there were so many opportunities they missed.

[@coke-cinelle]

Yes imagine, last week before christmas and every day you get a duplicate it would make me so mad

[@Sir_Bercilak]

They are chase variants, hence the metallic and i would bet the gloworm is a glow in the dark. It's a common trope of funko.

[@coke-cinelle]

@@Sir_Bercilak sure but do you need to have both the metalic and the normal one in the same advent ? And all of them at the end like that ? No

[@Sir_Bercilak]

@@coke-cinelle to be fair, I'd rather the metallic and glow ones, but some people collect the whole set. They also don't have a HUGE selection of the retro toys line still

[@katlin_pla]

keeping the production cost extra low

[@patp6835]

I thought I would see Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake and a Cabbage Patch Kid.

[@Welcometothesunnyside1989]

That should have been in the last row instead of doubles

[@gabriellemolinaro6750]

Rainbow Brite, Ninja Turtles, Care Bears…but are they Hasbro?

[@JustJohnnyCreations]

Oh do you remember the garbage pail kids? loved them.

[@laurawilson9235]

Absolutely I was hoping for strawberry shortcake especially as they do have POP figures as strawberry shortcake (I absolutely love her and collect her stuff lol )

[@redvelvetrose]

@@gabriellemolinaro6750No Care Bears and Rainbow Brite belong to American Greetings. Not sure who owns TMNT, but it’s not Hasbro.

[@Dezz_ire]

Number 6 is a Glow Worm. My daughter had 1 when she was younger. Its a soft cuddly toy that's a night light. The calendar was doing really well until the repeats started appearing. Definitely a let down for sure.

[@DevynSpeedRacer]

I LOOOOOOVVVVEEEED mine as a toddler! It went everywhere with me!!

[@barbaraanderson2449]

You could also get little pocket sized Glow Worms. I remember us bringing them in to school when I was in primary 4 (I’m now 47! 😂). I’ve now got the song from the Glow Friends advert stuck in my head. How do I remember that but I can’t remember what I did last week? 😂

[@Kasia237]

Really showing my age, the original was green. I loved mine it went everywhere with me.

[@annajanehesmondhalgh7261]

i had one too! although since it was sitting around for 20 years the battery corroded and it turned super super gross and started shaking around like it was having a seizure 😮

[@Lamarisopas]

In Spain was called "Gusy Luz" and I loved it, sleep with it every night

[@DancingLime]

#4 is the board game trouble. The red "character" is just one of the pegs a player uses

[@Liv_Mix]

And the button you hit it on your turn! It rolls a die! I love that I used to play it all the time

[@sophiehobley828]

Trouble has a load of names, we had an identical (based on a quick look) game called Frustration

[@DancingLime]

@sophiehobley828 never heard of that ! Different in certain countries, or is it a completely different game ? 🤔

We 80s kids recognize most of this. Popples, glowworm. The end was jacked up lol.

Transformers are 100%retro but kept its nostalgia over time from reason movies etc . They began in 1984.

[@myas3656]

This started out super cute. . . But the last week is a terrible let down!!

[@VioletPaynekiller]

I was sooo exctied at first. ♥Strawberry shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Gizmo, Rubix Cube, Ninja Turtle. So many missed

[@gabriellemolinaro6750]

My sister had an E.T. stuffed animal gifted to her as a baby. Not to my mom’s liking. lol. Also to your list, Alf.

[@beata3091]

[@forestgrump4723]

Yes!

I would love an advent calendar just filled with the tiny (chbi) tamagotchis

[@amandaposey6099]

Cabbage patch! Easy bake oven! Hungry hungry hippos! So many more hasbro toys they could have pulled from 😢

[@SnowieShiba]

I was waiting for these when I noticed the hasbro theme... funko is just straight up lazy with this calendar. :'( the duplicates are straight shameful!

[@MizuHime07]

Transformers IS retro, the original movie/series was released in the Mid 80's. I was like screaming at my screen "THEY ARE RETRO!!!" And yes they should, Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee are the duo, and you can't have them without Megatron either AHHHH

[@theresafreeman6426]

Agree, all three transformers absolutely necessary!

[@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267]

The last row are glow in the dark ones. So really, I think it’s a pretty good calendar :)

[@gabriellemolinaro6750]

If this is true, this comment needs to be upvoted.

[@IEatTheCure]

even then the pose could at least be different

[@peachysoju]

id still be upset like theyre literally the same characters just glow in the dark?? make them different characters that are glow in the dark or even not glow in the dark. idk thats just me. its like getting blind boxes but getting duplicates

[@shelleykoone2987]

That is cool, but they could have made the first one glow in the dark instead of doing duplicates or put the characters in different poses. Something to make it less of a let down. They still missed out on lots of franchises and toys that would have fit into this calendar by having those duplicates.

[@mswedgie1]

Number 13 is a Popple! 🙌🏻 I’m a child of the 80’s and I think you have to be ‘old’ to know a lot of these like the Popple, My Pet Monster and the Glo Worms 😆

[@samnesss]

I had 2 popples. A purple and a yellow one. I still have them somewhere.

[@maritaefstathiou]

@@samnesssI had the purple and yellow one as well. I loved popples!

[@huntressmma1822]

I wrote this same comment😂

[@suzannebauer6234]

Spent SO many hours with my Lite-Brite. The My Little Pony Salon was my top Christmas gift one year. Transformers was a favorite after school cartoon, and Bumblebee was originally a VW Bug.

[@dawnoftherad5308]

Cherry, bless your heart, a bunch of these are 80s early 90s. Transformers are 80s. That one pink thing you didn’t recognize is a Popple from the 80s. They fold into themselves like a ball, loved mine, might still have it. Funny enough you might be to young rather than showing your age. 😍💕💖

[@dawnoftherad5308]

Oh and the worm is a glow worm, also 80s. I was disappointed for you. I know there are Chase ones, etc, but yeah, they could have done more.

[@KirstinDisney1990]

I adore popple!!!

[@Kat-Annangel]

I Loved Popples.

[@katrinawinchell614]

Transformers came out in 1984. I grew up playing with them and watching them. The newer movies and whatnot are just capitalizing on the retro love for them from late Gen X and early millennials.

[@BowTiesareCool12]

I got a Disney Funko advent calendar few years ago and at least with the repeat characters in that one they all had different poses or outfits, not just a straight recolor.

[@growie138]

yeah usually its alot more different even if same character then this.. this is kinda bad to be funko

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

Sadly they included the "chase" variants of some funkos.. except they didnt choose the fun ones.. just a slightly different colour..

[@Ellygator57]

This box is my childhood! all of these are core 80's toys.

Tip: you can screw tiny eye hooks into the tops of these really easily and turn them into ornaments for your tree!

[@Nightmare1984LLC]

Yes! Came here to say this!! Several years ago my husband got a bunch of the Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation mini Funkos from the store he works at. I screwed eyelets in their heads and gave them to my family gifts. They loved them!

Or earrings

[@amandamoyer7448]

8:08 transformers was originally out in the 80s, but it became popular again in like 2006 when the movie came out

[@bethmarie003]

I loved this calendar except for the end where it truly did feel like a cop-out to have so many duplicates that just look slightly different from each other. There were just so many other options they could have gone with. Even under the Hasbro umbrella. (Though personally I do like one of the glow-worms because I had one as a child.)

[@TheAutumnGypsy]

#4 is related to the game of Trouble. The character is a game piece. So glad you recognized the game of Operation character after not recognizing him on the cover.

[@twisteddragonfliesMB]

100% agree, Funko calendars in recent years just feel like a money grab, they always have repeats. Like you said, especially in the HP ones, and their pretty expensive so such a cop out putting repeats in ☹️ But I love the idea of turning the duplicates into earrings 😊

[@mystierayn1077]

I'm 50 and played with every one of these toys!! Agree there were SO many missed opportunities with the duplicates

[@gabriellemolinaro6750]

Someone said the slight color variation in last row is bc they are glow-in-the-dark.

[@StormbornGhost]

4:34 its a stuffed animal called a glow worm. The head lit up. I had one as a child.

[@shaynaleann1054]

I had almost all of these! Day 6 is a glow worm, they're for babies. They give off a warm glow light and plays lullaby music. I loved mine and my daughters had one to ❤ Yea I feel bad for a kid that gets this, all the repeats is so lame

[@StoneWolf99801]

The game of "Trouble" was fun! And I had a dozen Furbies! The worm is a Glow Worm, it was like a stuffed night light.

The pink bunny thing is a Popple! I had one when I was a kid. They flip kind of inside themselves to make themselves into a ball, then you can fold it back out to be the plushie.

[@jackie8357]

It took me so much strength to pop it back into a ball!

[@emerald6182]

@jackie8357 it really did! Even now, it's tough and I'm 30 years older lol

[@Healthy-Golden-Oldie]

Yesss, we did have a Furby! In fact, we had two! One day we went on a trip and we put the Furbies into the trunk of our car. Right at the bottom, below all of our suitcases and stuff. Very soon they started babbling to each other. Which was rather disturbing after a while and we couldn't reach them without stopping the car at a gass station and unpacking the whole trunk! 😂

[@kittybr1501xx]

TROUBLE!! This was one of my favorites!! The red guy was the peg you used to go around the board. You would press the plastic dome he's holding to "roll" the dice and whoever gets to the middle of the board first wins ands yells TROUBLE! haha....i was easily entertained 😅

[@emilywalner2777]

Glow Worms were in the show Glow Friends. My Pet Monster was part of the start of the "kids take over" movement where they could now select their own entertainment and toys made more for them. Think early days of Nickelodeon with You Can't Do That On Television, candy made to look like slime, etc. My Little Ponies have cutie marks or their tush. Transformers debuted as a cartoon in 1984. 13 is a Popple. They fold up into a pouch on their backs and kids could use the plush as a pillow. It was a cute show. To be fair, you got the leader of the Autobots, the most famous Autobot, and a Decepticon, so now you can make your own little Transformers play! I don't get that stoked about shiny variants, either 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

I don't know about later Glow worms but the originals only lit up if you squeezed them and they were so stiff and hard to squeeze that little kids weren't strong enough to make them light up. Heck, I was an adult and even I couldn't make my daughter's worm light up! A lot of the first Glow Worms ended up at Goodwill stores or Salvation Army stores.

[@JenniferYousfi]

I'm a Gen X American and I had all of these toys as a kid in the 80's. I'm not sure how old something has to be to qualify as "retro" but I had Transformers over 40 years ago. Cheers!

[@heytherespookyface]

I remember ALL of these… I’m American and I grew up in the 80’s lol - so that might be why you don’t recognize a lot of them (and, YES, Transformers are retro 😂). Also, it’s pretty common for POPs to have “chase” versions, which are slightly different colors of the same character. It’s disappointing, but it’s in line with the brand (and might match the larger versions of the characters already in existence). Love this series, by the way… so fun!

[@dewflower7298]

I am in Canada and we have/had all of these.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

I agree, about the chase ones, I think they could have saved a unique one for the last day, though. But iirc the order varies between each (or it has with previous calendars, as I was opening one at the same time as a friend and we got different ones on most of the days, but ultimately they were all the same ones), so it would be hard to do that.

I actually got the Marvel funko advent calendar a couple years ago because of you. I was disappointed they gave doubles of some characters. The doubles either had glitter or glow added but I would have preferred them giving different characters. I was very happy to get some type of marvel collectibles in advent form though. I hope they make another with newer characters and no doubles.

[@starriderkittykat9064]

Most those are retro from my youth,I’m 61 and had allot of those toys here in the US.. My daughter loved My little pony and my little sister had the Monster stuffed animal.. Trouble was a game with a pop button that had dice in it which was called Pop O Magic..lol

#6 & #24 are glow worms. They were a toy that glowed at night when you gave them a squeeze. Transformers were kids toys before they were a movie. You are right though, it started with so much potential then fizzled out.

[@leeleescraps]

I’m Canadian and I recognize all of them. Had so many of them as a child.

[@kristinsleuth]

Number 4 was one of the pieces to the game Trouble and he's holding the little popper you push down to roll the die.

[@mommashawna707]

Most of these toys were originated in the 80s with the exception of a few that were much older and that’s why you don’t recognize them all, the ones you recognize were either re-released or never stopped being released. I do agree with you with the repeats, I think that was uncalled for and ridiculous. The game Trouble is a board game by Milton Bradley in 1965, the worm was Glo worm that was originated in 1982, it was a plush toy that had a plastic head that would light up. It was a toy special for kids to go to sleep with and have a night light in their arms. The first my little pony was in 1983. Play-Doh was originally a wallpaper cleaner the reformulated it as an educational toy in the mid 50s. The transformers were from 1984 so yes I would consider them retro.🤣 The cute little pink guy is called a Popple, originated in 1986 from Mattel. They were stuffed animals with tails and they would transform into a ball. Super cute! Light Brite was originated in 1967. I do remember them having to remake them because the lightbulb that was inside would get burning 🔥 hot‼️ George Lerner invented Mr. Potato Head in 1949. Hasbro then distributed them in 1952. It was the first toy advertised on television and has stayed in production since. The original toy cost $0.98. The kit contained hands, feet, ears, two mouths, two pairs of eyes, four noses, three hats, eyeglasses, a pipe, and eight felt pieces resembling facial hair. The original toy did not include a potato you had to use your own. A Mrs. Potato Head appeared in 1953, followed by brother Spud, sister Yam, various pets, and a car and trailer. Hasbro promoted the happy family in LIFE magazine. A plastic potato appeared in 1964. I really enjoyed researching all of these I especially did not know that about Play-Doh and Lite Brite.

I had a LIte Brite when I was a kid and I LOVED it! “Lite Brite, making things with light….what a sight, making things with Lite Brite”.

Furbys have a special place in my heart. I was lucky that before she got poorly my Mum put so much into Christmas but unfortunately she refused to recognise that I wasn't a girly girl. I loved toy cars and anything robotic or intercive (tamagotchi), but I always got creepy porcelain dolls that would terrify me 😆 but when I was 8, I was allowed to choose my own present and I chose a furby.

Very much retro for ‘80’s North American kids! Every one of them should recognize all of these and either had them all or their friends or kids they babysat had them all! The last row was a let down but was probably meant to be the chase versions of the original versions found earlier which is typical of Funko. Not really what I would want in an advent calendar but predictable when it comes to Funko.😊

Very cute and nostalgic. Happy figures to have around. I love that they didn't forget lite bright that was one of my favorite toys.

I’m 53, and Transformers were around when I was a teen…maybe earlier. #2 Definitely go get a life brite! They are so pretty! #4 Trouble is a board game with a dice bubble you push to see how many moves to go. The toy is one of the game pieces you move. It’s similar to Sorry, if you have that there. #6 is a Glo-worm. They light up when you squeeze them. A great bedtime toy. #10 Playdoh isn’t made with salt so you don’t eat it…It’s an ingredient in homemade Playdoh, also. I think it has something to do with the moisture and it keeping its shape. I would have loved that advent calendar if it weren’t for all of the dupes. They had way too many of those!

I am about the same age as you Cherry and I can confirm I had all of these toys as a child, definitely from America. So nostalgic!

[@ricardocintron3954]

Well how nostalgic…… monkeys in a barrel ? LITE BRITE?!? The little baby worm doll?! (Nightlight for kids) Goodness and the trouble dude is a game piece we would use when playing the game trouble !! And Furby!? My goodness I loved ALL OF these as a child

A lost cauldron advent calendar would be sooooo cool.....and also fyi....the grub baby u had in this calendar is the glow worm toy ...now I'm showing myyyy age....

[@lewispuckrin744]

Cherry you need to show them how its done and create a lost cauldron advent 💯

[@didralamond8145]

I recognized most of those toys or the toy reference! The glowworm was super adorable! I remember watching The Transformers in the late 80s and early 90s lol

[@janainaporto8177]

OMG this is totally going to give away my age. Transformers aired on TV in the mid 80's. They deserve to be on this advent calendar

The one that says trouble (number 4) is a peg that you move as a playing piece from the board game trouble. They also have blue green and yellow pegs for multiple players.

As an individual, the repeats with different designs aren’t very exciting. However, in households with multiple members (particularly children), it ensures more than one person can have something from the same franchise.

This takes me back to my childhood. 😅 I'm 49. All these are fun

[@teridoster5840]

#6 and #24 are Glo Worms! They’re kind of a nightlight stuffie for little kiddos afraid of the dark and when you squeeze them their head lights up

[@Jennifer_Layne]

The final toy is a glow worm. They are plushy on the bottom and the face lights up. It’s from the 1980’s. They were super popular I had one as a young child. They were amazing for bedtime because of the soft glow.
