Kidnap the Sandy Claws? I wanna do it! Let’s draw straws! Anyone else missing Halloween yet? Like it’s so close, but so far away at the same time. These new Nightmare Before Christmas Dorbz are the perfect hold over until Fall rolls around with all it’s Halloween goodness! Anyway… Welcome to another edition of the Highlight right here on PopVinyls.com! It’s brought to you as always by yours truly Eddie, from Eddie’s Toy Box, or as some of you know me as @Esbjo_Figs from Instagram! It’s a showcase of some of my favorite photos of the week and a little insight as to why I chose them, or why I made them. So let’s get to it!
“See yourself in Red.”
Funko Pop! Ad Icons: Bullseye – Target Exclusive
So for this one I rushed to Target a few mornings ago to try and get Bullseye before the local flipper was able to scoop them all up, and I got one! So, in my excitement I wanted to capture a picture of Bullseye sitting on those large red balls outside of the store with the Target logo in the background. So among some odd stares and people passing by I tried my best to get this photo done. Unfortunately it didn’t come out as great as I had hoped due to the sunlight. But I still like the way it came out. Fun fact, I worked at Target for about two years and met some of my closest friends there so this Pop in particular was a must own for me due to the sentimental value behind it! And now you know. Oh, and See yourself in Red is the tag line Target uses when they’re hiring…and now you know that too!
“Keep playing with fire and sooner or later you’re going to get burned.”
Funko Pop! Heroes: Diablo from the Suicide Squad series
For this photo I wanted to do a classic black and white theme with a twist. So I went with Diablo and took a picture of him against the wall of my kitchen counter. Once that was done I simply added in the flames around him so that the flames were the focal point of the photo adding to the sinister look of Diablo. Having seen the Suicide Squad (and unpopular opinion loved it!) I knew I wanted to take a photo of Diablo at some point by himself. I feel he was given enough time to shine and I absolutely felt for his arc. So, I’m glad I got the Diablo Pop when I did. And I’m even more excited at how this photo turned out and hope you guys are too!
“The King of the Pond!”
Funko Pop! Heroes: Aquaman (Patina Finish) from the Batman Vs. Superman series. Entertainment Earth/SDCC exclusive!
So, for this photo our good mutual friends with Popvinyls.com at Entertainment Earth sent me one of their SDCC Patina Aquaman Pops (to giveaway!) and I wanted to take a photo of it where it would capture Aquaman in his element. Unfortunately for me all I have around me is a pond in the park so this is where this photo was taken. I don’t believe I posted this anywhere but on Instagram, but I like the way it came out and I love the patina finish on this Pop. Added in some water splashing effects around him and you have that photo above! Also, if you want to be entered to win this Pop along with a prize pack of other BvS Pops you have until August 20th to do so!
