This is probably one of the most divisive lines to be launched in quite some time It reminds me of when Mattel's 3 3/4" JLU figures started to become so popular about 7 or 8 years ago. A lot of people loved them and saw them as a stylized homage to the 80's-era Super Powers figures, or even 90's Kenner figures. Meanwhile, those on the opposing side complained that they were overpriced and under-articulated garbage. And WOW, the insults got vicious on numerous toy forums because of those !!!
Personally, I think that Funko's idea of using the old Kenner Alien molds was a brilliant idea. The others mostly don't really appeal to me, but I can understand why a lot of older (um, my apologies, I mean experienced, lol) collectors would find this style appealing.
EDIT: I shouldn't assume that it's only older collectors who like these. Oops I'm sure that there are plenty of younger collectors who appreciate that vintage aesthetic as well. Just wanted to amend my initial claim

I just wish that Funko had planned to simultaneously release these along with 3 3/4" figures in the style of the current Star Wars figures (like the 2010-2012 "Vintage" Collection, or the Black Series), since they plan to release 6" figures in that style anyways. That would have made these retro-styled figures a lot more palatable to those not receptive to the idea of that type of figure. But yeah, I realize that financially, that probably wasn't even an option for Funko, largely due to the time and money spent on sculpting accurate likenesses. Just wishful thinking on my part ...
