I had The Rocketeer, but mine broke at the hip. A couple friends had the whole Game of thrones line and every single one had breakage issues. That put me off from the get go. Then, once they shored up the QC (if only a bit) they were doing stuff like Book of Life, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and League of Legends and I just had no interest.

As for the licensing, it's a tough one to crack. But Funko having their foot in the door with Mad Max Pops and Mystery Minis could only have helped their position. If they solve the QC issues, then I might be in for Max, Furiosa and Immortan Joe.
