Evening everyone and welcome to another edition of Thursday Night Highlight! As always it’s being brought to you by yours truly or better known as Esbjo_Figs over on Instagram. A weekly column where I showcase some of the best photos I took during the previous week using Funko based products. Before we start though I wanted to do another shameless plug. Last week I made mention of starting a Youtube channel for all things Funko related and I have done that. That picture up there? It’s from my review of the Hawkeye Pop vinyl from the Marvel line, and the Avengers Age of Ultron series. With the new trailer debuting this week it’s only fitting to start reviewing the pops. That review can be found here >>>(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH0aCR7CfUI)<<< So copy and paste that in your browser, or search for “Eddie’s Toy Box” on Youtube and you’ll find more of this kind of thing but in video format! I’m even going to be doing some behind the scenes videos on how I create certain shots I take. Don’t be a stranger! Subscribe today! Let’s get on with the photos!
“Olaf waiting.”
Frozen Mystery Minis Olaf, Kristoff, and Anna. The inspiration from this photo came from trying to figure out what to do with a sitting Olaf. Then it hit me. When Elsa is belting out her empowering ballad she makes Olaf and then… just keeps walking, and leaves him behind. Imagine being made and abandoned? Must have been tough. So this photo was posted with a short story saying that Olaf sat and waited not knowing whether or not he would meet anybody else, but eventually he’d be joined by Anna, Sven, and other Sven. I wish I had a Sven mystery mini to really round out this photo, but time will tell!
“I really wish you’d just go away already Elsa. I can’t take SNOW more.”
Frozen Mystery Mini Coronation Elsa with Snowflake (HT exclusive). I posted this photo this morning and as of this writing it is still snowing outside. They say that we’ve had 100+ inches of snow in the last month or so fall from the sky and I’m finally reaching my breaking point with it all. So much snow. So much shoveling. But, the only good thing that can come out of this is all the Frozen pictures I can take. So, this one is just my way of telling Elsa how I really feel about her and the magic. Please just go away and take the snow with you. End the curse you put on this land.
“They should have brought more walkers.”
Various Walking Dead Walkers, and Bandana Wearing Daryl (HT exclusive). I wanted to take a picture with all the Walkers I had gotten out of blind boxes over the last year, but wasn’t sure how to go about it. There are some missing… Well Walker, bicycle girl, but they didn’t flow with this photo. So I picked Daryl to stand out in front of them because we all know how bad Daryl is and the caption was to imply that even this amount of walkers weren’t a match for our anti-hero. Norman Reedus has said in an interview that during the season finale of season 5 you would need Kleenex and to prepare yourself for yelling at your TV. I hope that he isn’t hinting around the demise of his character. That’d be a major blow to Funko if they kill off the most popular character on the series. But who knows! If Daryl dies we riot, right?
