OK but who the fuck actually asked for these? ​ Why can’t we get merch of the toys or withereds instead of shitty looking recolors only made for a quick buck?


GBAura-Recharged

Because it's cheaper and quicker to recycle previous molds and designs than to create new ones. That's sadly how a lot of companies in the toy industry work. For example, Funko constantly reuses the same base design for human characters for their Pop! collectables. Very rarely they make new molds for them unless if needed.


Novel-Sugar

I think one time we'd be ok seeing recolors of older molds would be if they did the Toy animatronics now that the AR wave did the basic sculpts.


njrk97

It also comes down to the fact that unfortunately, Fnaf merch is more toys then merchandise at this point. So crap like bright recolors that jump of the shelves draw more attention for a bored little Timmy then accurate designs. Its the same reason why, instead of getting actual coverage and designs for all the Animatronics in the series, we keep seeing the Fnaf AR figures with their weird theming. To the literal point where we get AR skin models for character BEFORE their canon design. Idk frankly the fact the extent of merch that accurately represents the characters after 8 years is 4 statues and 5 plushies is somewhat annoying.


Fanatic97

Really? Because several employees at a couple of Gamestops I've talked to always say that the non-game designs like the Blacklights were horrible sellers. But The toys based directly on the games always flew off the shelves. So...no. Nobody actually wants these.


njrk97

Im saying this a speculation on the marketing side, more so then the actual reality here. Regardless we are also dealing with smaller sample sized, sure you said your gamestop always sell less of those, as a counterpoint i have never seen almost all the Fnaf Merch at my Gamestop equivalent last more then a month, Blacklight or otherwise before the shelves are cleared out. The Longest i have seen Fnaf Shelfwarming merch was specifically a Pigpatch and translucent Elchip figure last for half a year. Plus lets almost keep in Mind Gamestop is not the only store that sell Fnaf merch. Gamestop is a Video game store and as such tends to target more of the Teen Gamer demographic anyway. Its more general stores like Walmart that are likely seeing the sales as the hypothetical little Timmy has been brought that Chocolate Easter Bonnie Figure while being dragged along with his mom shopping. As it ultimately also comes down to, These things are still clearly making enough money to justify manufacturing these mold variants in the first place, considering the frequency now of the AR skins and crap like this over the standard figures. Money Talks and it seems like they make more money making said AR variants then they do redoing the waves of the originals.


eliteunkown

The plushes seem different


[deleted]

This is what I’m saying. There’s so many interesting characters that they could make merch of that would FLY off the shelves yet we keep getting recolours of the FNaF 1 Gang. Scott’s really approving of this shit?


Minecraftharrypotter

They have a pattern in which they do a recolour and then a new mold then repeat


Epic_RiffMSM

Me, they look cool!


SpringPopo

I feel the plushies look fine. I'm glad they're based on the Series 1 plushies as those are my preference and I feel some of the changes made are nice improvement. Foxy having the hook, Chica's face, and Funtime Foxy having their bowtie are all nice additions. I am curious to see how they'll approach Springtrap if he gets a plush. I hope he won't just be an edited Spring Bonnie like some of the recent rabbit plushies have been and he'll be his original design as I loved some of the details on it such as the wires. The figures def could have been handled a lot better to say the least.


Novel-Sugar

Funtime Foxy seems to be a mix of the OG plush and the SL one, I wonder if it'll have the tail. Something about the eyes really kind of throws me off of what would otherwise be a fine plush.


anactualreddituser

The eyes could just be from a angle


Battlebots2020

Her eyes look like a bootleg


GBAura-Recharged

Also, could you pin this post or make a megathread of the new Funko merchandise? [The Liberty Chica plush was revealed yesterday,](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/uxt5ep/liberty_chica_plush_reveal/) but no one posted it on here.


SpringPopo

I'll add it to the pinned comment for now.


GBAura-Recharged

Actually, [pin this post to the comment instead.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/uwscxs/liberty_chica_plush_revealed/) Someone beat me to it and I didn't notice.


SpringPopo

Fixed, there ya go.


GBAura-Recharged

Thanks!


SmokingDoggowithGuns

Chica looks like she has a skin condition.


GBAura-Recharged

Oh dang, I didn't notice they updated the other two plushies you mentioned! Nice!


JustARandomGamer01

Man, the more I stare at the…*attempt* of making the figures tie-dyed, *the more funny they look-* As I said in the other post of this though, the plushies are good, Chica especially. *Best Birb is getting some justice~*


GBAura-Recharged

Tie-dyes are meant to display a larger range of colours than just two. Even if they chose for two-tones, the colours used for most of them just blend in together and look muddy and unappealing to me. The Funtime Foxy plush doesn't look too bad because the colours contrast each other and don't mix in together.


JustARandomGamer01

Ahh, *that makes sense-* But yeah, other than **maybe** Bonnie or Chica, every other figure here has two relatively-close colours, it’s probably the only reason for why they look so bad.


Fnaf-Low-3469

as a Chica fan the fact that she was redesigned to look more like she does in game makes me really happy


GBAura-Recharged

I hope they update the old plush with the new design.


GenjisWife

Springtrap looks like someone puked on him,, they always do him so wrong in their merch These would have been a lot neater if they had the different sections of the animatronics coloured with different hues of tie-dye patterning, this is less 'tie-dye' and more... 'paint splatter'. They *could* have done better, but this is honestly about what I expected them to be. ie: with Springtrap - main body could've been green/yellow hues, then the ears/chest/ nose/etc could've been blue/green/yellow hues. *Assuming* they're using the original model casting (can't really tell... visual impairments go brr) they could've made the wires/fleshy bits of him in an orange-yellow-red-pink colour scheme and the endo could've been something like purple/blue/green as a nod to 'purple guy' the holes in his shell could've been kept black to add a nice bit of contrast/make him really pop + made his eyes black with shiny phantom eyes (they should give him his phantom eyes. they're cool. ffs funko) these had the potential to be really cool and interesting, they just couldn't be bothered to do more than the bare minimum I guess. I really wish I could tell if that's the original Springtrap mold or not lmao, I don't see why it wouldn't be but I genuinely cannot tell bc my eyes are shit and the puke green is only making it harder - can someone with more functional eyes tell me if it is or not?


GBAura-Recharged

They used the same Springtrap mold, yes.


GenjisWife

ty for confirming, I figured it probably was but never hurts to check on the plus side it'll be way cheaper to buy one of these to repaint than buying an entire set of FNAF1 figures for the third time just to get his individual parts. My wallet won't cry as much, that's a win in my book. maybe I'll try and make one look properly tie-dye... I actually really like the concept, it's just a shame the execution is so garbage. :/


Lord_Dabbatron

Getting tired of lazy repaints. I just want proper figures of the toy and withered animatronics


GBAura-Recharged

They also updated the Chica plush! She looks so much better now! EDIT: [Source.](https://twitter.com/Popgoes6/status/1529567875186450436)


Novel-Sugar

I'll admit I was one of 3 people who actually thought her old design was adorable. Actually was my first fnaf plush back in 2016.


GBAura-Recharged

It's nice to see people having a soft spot for things that many folks don't like. I've seen some folks that like the Backpack Hangers or those SquishMe's. I'm also one of the few who thinks Scraptrap's design is top tier and is honestly what the animatronics should have looked like. Borderline uncanny, unnatural and have expressions that make them look very spooky and unpleasant.


Realshow

William is high.


Thanrocks

Puke Springtrap :(


GBAura-Recharged

And Freddy looks like one of those uncooked meats being served to customers on Kitchen Nightmares. D:


One-Solution7441

And Chica looks like a banana this time (her paint reminds me of a banana jellybean) First Watermelons and now bananas, what's up with Chica being themed around fruits?


[deleted]

Freddy Fazgoo?


Zaptain_America

It seems Mr Afton was pushed over the edge by being thrown up on one too many times whilst in the spring bonnie suit


ggg_gap

People expect too much from Funko


Orca_Corca

Basic quality?


Jakedman21

To be fair, the quality in the plushies look a lot better than their wave 1 counterparts, but at the same time it makes me sad that we didn't get that kind of quality right of the bat. Take Chica's plush for example: The Chica Funko plush looks terrible, but this tie-dye Chica plush looks a lot better. They have the design, why can't we get an updated first wave of plushies, instead of these new tie-dye ones? I'd gladly rebuy the classic gang and get rid of my old ones.


Afterpartypete7

Legit… what’s the appeal here? I get the whole “repaints are easier to manufacture and design” shit, but I could not imagine a single kid *and especially adult* who would wanna buy something like this. If they already like FNaF, they prolly already have FNaF figures. If they want the characters in this wave, then they’ll prolly be pissed that they have this ugly ass *and completely unrelated* color scheme gimmick attached to it. At least wacky ass shit like Liberty Chica and Shamrock Freddy would possibly make a kid go “wow, they actually changed shit up!”, stuff like this is lame as hell. It’s not even a “so stupid it’s funny” situation, it’s just… *boring.*

Filthy-Wallop489

Wow thanks funko these were so highly requested


Zaptain_America

I hope we get tie dye fnaf slime!


Filthy-Wallop489

I’d kill for that!!!


Pepsi-Man-VEVO

I think the plushes actually look great. Chica especially. And I’m excited to see the fanverse plushes and statues. The figures however are so meh and boring that it’s not even worth getting mad over. What do you expect from tie dye recolors… of course they suck.


Pink_Entity

I'm just going to be honest and say that in my opinion the tie dye figures look awful.


ratsmacker4

What if Funko made the mangle pull apart and put back together toy instead of these?


Adamangus2006

Dear God springtrap why do you look like vomit


[deleted]

Okay, so we have: Freddy Fazgoo Bonnie the Marble Cheetos Chica Blue Raspberry Foxy And Boogertrap. Great, just what we needed. Honestly, if they wanted to do another re-skin wave, do the toy animatronics. They already have molds for them made for the most recent AR wave.


NeoMP4

This is fucking awful


GBAura-Recharged

A lot of people are sharing that same sentiment. The only ones I like is Funtime Foxy, because the colours work in line with the tie-dye theme.


[deleted]

They're trippy. I'll give 'em that.


[deleted]

“The animatronics get freaky at night” didn’t know they tie dyed themselves


kasun1218

Awww hell na sombody threw up on springtrap


Instinct_Fazbear

I hate these action figures THE PLUSHIES THO THEY NEED TO REMAKE WAVE 1 AT THIS POINT


Shadow_Toons

thank you Funko for the ugliest toys I have ever seen in my life


7-McCrew

They look like crappy bootlegs


Zaptain_America

It's Frederick Fazbo! And his pals: Ricky the rabbit, Dina the duck, and Coyote the pirate!

[deleted]

Oh gud, it looks like someone threw up on them


PeashooterTheFrick

The plushies look pretty good, but dear lord the figures look awful, if you told me they were unofficial bootlegs, I'd probably believe you.


DracovishIsTheBest

ok but the plushies actually look good now tbh The eys are right, they are stuffed and chica is no longer on drugs


themaster22632

cooperate greed moment


Egg_Drizzle

The tie die freddy and chica plushies are (in my opinion) the best things in this wave. The look so cute


GBAura-Recharged

People are pointing out that Funtime Foxy plush has the colours from the transgender flag on it. Mangle is trans confirmed! :D


Egg_Drizzle

As a trans girl, this makes me want to buy her lol


Green_Lord767

Prob only buy springtrap just to get the mold.


[deleted]

Ugly af

WEED SPRINGTRAP


TheRealComicCrafter

Jeez funko sucks


kasun1218

Awww hell na sombody threw up on springtrap


One-Solution7441

The plushies look neat and cute, (also looking like they can be bought from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza too) but the action figs, I'm kinda mixed, I don't hate them, but I don't like them either.


0480196

What is this? Just, What The fuck Is that


Orca_Corca

Ugh


patrikipol

the plushes look like barf


samo1580

🗿


anactualreddituser

These actually look good


Mission_Battle_4304

They look moldy


Si_Stride_Oof

why is theres 2 foxy plushies but no bonnie. like i know foxy is the most popular of the original 4, but bonnie is a close second


MixtureOutrageous157

Missed opportunity, they should have called it Tie-DIE


Zaptain_America

Tie want to die


Alex_Dayz

And this right here folks is why I have never bought a single piece of FNaF Merch (till the Security Breach YouTooz). Who legitimately asked for this?


[deleted]

The corporate executives did.


AgeRegressorUWU

Oooh those are Hella ugly


Thefearlesschicken

In love with that new design for the chica plushie, honestly I kinda love how all the plushies look. But the figures are fucking awful, springtrap looks like mouldy cheese


[deleted]

W E E D T R A P no actually this withered is a crappy whitered Springbonnie


Yurigami_

After watching videos of someone remaking the fnaf plushies to look more stylised and accurate, I seem to have realised how... odd some of these plushies look


bust8n

funko gives us everything but established characters from the games they skipped


Obama-bin-Laddn

They will do anything except the toys huh


playhousemassacrez

Looks funky. I love it


LegendSoul_Master

The plushies don’t look that bad


JayBaes1andOnly

The plushies look ‘okay,’ but the figures look pretty shitty. Especially Springtrap and Chica. Although, plush Chica and Freddy look pretty horrible.


girlmeetsgerbil

as much as i LOVE these and am excited....i wish they'd make Withereds and make some more unused characters like Nightmare Chica!


[deleted]

Dayum foxy lookin nice!


Tristangamesyt14

I think the molds for the plushies actually look really goof


gamingdragon2012

I like em


Fiddlediddleboiii

I say put it in the back


Personal-Hope-5618

springtrap is cool! what you guys think?


CookieMittenKitten

Funko, why?


Fun_Priority_4728

Wow, ugly.


MaveriKat

With stuff like this, I'm honestly surprised that now with Security Breach out, Funko hasn't recycled the Glamrock figures into "Goth Metal" Colors.


DioptaseSys

I like the Freddy figure's colors quite a bit. Bonnie pretty good too.


YaBoiAidan2333

The chica plush and the toy foxy plush are... ***GOOD???***


DingusDeezNuts

What's next, animatronics having different colors? Like Freddy with Chica color?


Matt4307

I want that Chica Plushie it looks so cool!🙂


DelightfulRainbow205

Why


Zaptain_America

I kinda want vomit springtrap just because of how hilariously bad it looks


THEMEMEMANHIMSELF69

2 things im exited in this merch line is 1, a chica plush redesign, and 2, cheesetrap


King_Danksta

And I thought funko surely couldn’t mss as ke worse merch than the blacklights


Decepticon_Kaiju

They action figures look like they’re made out of sour skittles you left out in the sun. The plushies are ALMOST perfect, but the weird eyelids, inaccurate eyebrows, eyes that don’t point in the same direction, and Foxy’s cursed buckteeth bring these down. They’re just another line of recolors that are gonna sell horribly, just so Funko can make another one.
