Funko Announces Horizon: Zero Dawn Pop! Figurines

What kind of DLC do they unlock? Big head mode? They're overpriced plastic dolls, they have to have some kind of DLC locked behind them, right?

_{Sorry but posting personal links is not allowed here I'm afraid -Tasuki-}

Yay! I looked awhile back to see if there were any of these but only custom ones came up. Glad they actually made some! Now if they made Persona 5 characters I'd be in big trouble. 💰 👋

@ArkhamKnerd ah! I'd love Persona pops!

@get2sammyb "Edit: Whoops, triple poet. Please don't ban me."

What is that, some kind of weird British haiku?

Edit: Whoops,
triple poet.
Please don't ban me.

We collect Pop, well not nearly as much as amiibo but Dragonball, Dr. Who and a couple of random others, and while we haven't played the game yet - Zelda never ends - I think Aloy looks good enough to own. The middle mustache guy looks like random Mad Max villain #118 so we'll skip him, and the rest.

@rjejr Seriously, Play the game its awesome!!!

This comes across as an advertisement rather than a news story.

I've never wanted a pop figure as much as I want that adorable fricken watcher.

@LieutenantFatman It's working

Here's another 5 characters I remember - Avad the Sun king, Varl, Talanah, Petra Forgewoman, Vanasha.
I'll have a chocy digestive please.

@ArkhamKnerd o my gosh don't give them ideas. I would spend all of the money! Same situation if there was a line of final fantasy pops.

I think with these types of game, atlus, square etc have different types of licensing arrangements for their figures so there is unlikely to be a pop range. There are some obscenely detailed persona figures in development atm for example which I would love to buy, but they are like 200 pounds each. Plus i showed my wife the Ann takamaki statue and got the 'death' glare if I even thought about buying it 😂

Re these pops, Aloy will be mine. Still looking for the lara croft pop which seems to be unavailable anywhere.

The Aloy one is so cute. There's no way I'm buying it though. If I get a Funko Pop figure, then it'll just make me want to get more.

That's one bitter article, I feel sorry for your lack of joy. Just sayin' 😜

Also, the "generic Eclipse Cultist" is Helis, Y’know, their leader and one of the main protagonists....I guess not, ha.

I really want the Watcher. How much do these figures tend to cost?

@rjejr I only have one POP! figure. It's John Barrowman because of it is.

@RedMageLanakyn I might sound a bit weird for this....but at least those do something and look good? I'm kinda with @get2sammyb on this: These look....strange. At least the DLC locking ones actually look like their characters.

Also, I giggled a little at @Tasuki earlier in this thread. "Personal links aren't allowed here I'm a fair"

Secret occupation confirmed?

@get2sammyb ''I genuinely can't remember who Sylens and Helis are''

Did you even play the game?

@BLP_Software That doesn't sound weird, I agree with that. I was poking fun because they really botched up with the recent metroid amiibo, and it's a bit painful/funny to see a company that's been around as long as they have make such foolish mistakes.

@RedMageLanakyn It been revealed Fusion Mode isnt the only Hard Mode. So there is that.

So all they lock is sound test and art gallery and some buffs if youre having a hard time.

So now we have the problem of amiibo not doing enough XD

Are you surprised Nintendo makes mistakes? Its the reason they are dead last in the platform race even without factoring in mobile and PC.

@BLP_Software No, I'm not surprised, just disappointed. They have so many examples of mistakes that MS, Sony, and other companies have made over the past decade, that really there's no excuse for some of the things they've been doing.

@RedMageLanakyn Well some of those mistakes like paid online and season passes are things people let companies get away with.

Why would they leave more revenue on the table, you know?

@BLP_Software Capt Jack I presume? We haven't watched Torchwood w/ my son yet, but he's seen every new ep of Dr. Who so it's only a matter of time, and then I'm sure he'll want one.

@BLP_Software I think they've done ok with season passes so far, with MK8 and BotW being reasonably priced. The online is actually priced decent too, well, for what we know it will include.

Locking content on disc (cart) will always be viewed as controversial, no matter who does it or how it's handled. They really need to consider making NFC cards for the amiibo that are being scalped, or no longer available. I'm willing to pay for DLC, but not at exorbitant prices because they're limited in quantity!

I don't like Funko Pops, but nice seeing Horizon in there. But if they do an Aloy Nendoroid, by all means let me know.

@get2sammyb

"No, only Nintendo's allowed to get away with that."

Yeah, really surprised Sony never tried to steal the idea

I have got Geralt & Ciri ,Poe & Finn , Danaerys & Jon Snow. The missus loves them as little surprises and is currently playing HZD so I'll be after an Aloy soon.

@3Above "Seriously, Play the game its awesome!!!"

I will. I think we're talking about H:ZD. Zelda has taken me about 150 hours with many more to go yet, so I might need a break in between. I know they aren't the same game, but close enough I need something different in between.

Sorry for the 4 day old response, busy weekend.

@rjejr Lol no worries im even later! As long as you play Horizon before it gets spoiled for you somewhere 😯

@3Above "As long as you play Horizon before it gets spoiled for you somewhere"

I find most games get spoiled somehow when I'm like halfway thru. Same with TV shows. I'm trying really hard to avoid Defenders spoilers while I finish watching Luke Cage and Iron Fist. I will be rewarded w/ Horizon though as they just added, or are udpating, a new easy mode. I'm all about the easy mode, I like playing games for fun, not impressing anyone w/ my trophy count. At this point though I'll probably just wait for the DLC story pack to drop and avoid all articles on here the best I can as everyone will be spoiling everything in those assuming everyone has already played it.

@rjejr I hear you. Avoid spoilers is near impossible after 6wks or so. Im currently doing the same thing with Uncharted Lost Legacy. Already had Defenders spoiled. The Horizon dlc takes place after the main story.

How are you ing the Story only difficulty level?

@3Above "How are you ing the Story only difficulty level?"

The story in Zelda or H:ZD? The story in Zelda was barley there, but I did like all the people hanging around the stables. Still haven't started H:ZD, I think I'm getting it for my kid for his birthday next Sunday so I'll play it then. Started Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning this week, about 14 ours in, and it's basically - fill my inventory, sell stuff to empty my inventory. I do like almost everything else about the game but the limited inventory space is killing it for me. I read in the manual there's supposed to be a house somewhere w/ a storage chest, hoping I find that soon.

@rjejr You'll love the Story in Horizon. Im hearing good things about KoA but EVERYONE complains about the inventory.

@3Above The inventory would be fine if it was just weapons, armor and accessorizes. I just went thru all of that during 175 hours of Zelda. But it counts other things, and I'm not even sure what. My current solution is adding something to junk when I find something better, then go into junk and destroy it. All they needed was a "drop" button. But the rest of the game is pretty good so I'm slogging thru. At some point we're supposed to get a house with storage, hopefully soon.
