Okay... I finally found the Chucky POP Vinyl figures and I am stoked. Of course I was nice enough to pick one up for Glenda too but IDK which one I should keep. It's hard to see in the pic but there is a slight difference in paint apps on them. The one in the left has a bit of a tanner/less vibrant skin tone, the blue overall are ever so slightly lighter, and the eyes are subdued. The one on the right has a brighter more vibrant skin tone, has slightly darker blue overalls, and most noticeable... high gloss eyes. I don't know if this is a variant, factory error, or running change. Also for as much as I love toys this is my first official POP Vinyl so I wouldn't know what to spot. Now having one I can see the appeal of collecting these because it gives you a chance to collect a multitude of characters in the same format. The good... where else are you going to find a series of figurines where you can have Chucky, The Dude, Rick Grimes, CM Punk, and Psy all in one collection. The Bad... basic details and they're all the same size regardless of character height, stature, etc. By all rights Chucky should be a very small one of these to stay in scale with the rest of the figures... but I cant be anal on a line like this. I am glad to finally have this. Lord Help me if they start making Doctor Who POP Vinyls. I am sure it's been discussed. Anyway... observe the pic. Enjoy.

Looks a little too Hentai or whatever of me, lol. How much were they? I reckon if it's not ridiculous and I ever come across one, it might be a buy. Also for CP2, why is there scars? Even if it's supposed to be Bride or Seed or even Curse, I figure it'd have more than the 2 scars.

Was just about to ask about the scars too.
Why are they branded as CP2 at all?
That film was like 23 years ago

And to answer your question, pick the one you like most and send Glenda the other. Think of it as being a perk of being the one that bought them. Lol

Well seeing as how I posted it and she'll read it eventually it's best that I let her pick now. Lol.
The scars are weird and not only is it CP2 branded but it has a pic of the movie poster on the back of the package.
I think the scars are there more or less to kill two birds with one stone. It's classic looking enough for the older fans... stitched for the younger fans. They probably weren't planning on making two different Chucky figures so this was their solution to appease both genres of fans.
I think putting a Curse label on it wpuld have made more sense.... but this isn't bad for ehat it is.
They sell for $10 each at most places I have seen them.

Ah $10, I'll pick some up if I ever see them then, that's not bad at all. Dunno where I'd find them though around here.

They're not sold in normal stores... though I did see some Duck Dynasty POP Vinyl figures at Walmart... no surprises there.
Usually stores like FYE, B.A.M., Barnes & Noble, Hot Topic, or Spencers will have them. I found these at Hot Topic.

I gave her what I felt was the better one. Lol.
I am just happy to have one. They also make DIY versions of these. Basically blank so you can come up with your own creation. They also make both male and female bodies... Guess who'll be joining my Chucky when I get my hands on those DIY Pop Vinyls?

Chelsea Clinton?
That's cool you can customize them. I'll just have to keep an eye out for them, but I don't have any of those stores around me. Maybe I'll just order one online.

Hot Topic.com has them. I was going to do that but for figure collectors like me no victory is sweeter then when you score one and have it in hand. You literally get a rush from it. Don't judge me. Lol.
As far as who's joining Chucky. Blankman and Cheech Maron from Ghostbusters 2. Maybe some Characters from Law & Order SVU. I want to make a Johnny 5 one but I would have to do so from scratch. Lol.

Blankman would be friggin' sweet.
Yeah I hear yeah on getting it via the luck of the draw. That's how I am with my MTG cards. I can buy ones I want for 50 cents online, but it just means more to open a booster pack and pull one.
I think the nearest shopping mall is like 30 minutes away from me, which would likely have those stores they sell it at.

It looks like I may have to order online if I want the DIY Pop Vinyl figures. Obviously I will be making Tiffany and Glen to do with him. Maybe a more accurately stitched Chucky from Bride.
I haven't bought anymore of these but I do at the one's that are out there. Of course I mentioned how they should be more size accurate and what do I see. A Yoda that is much smaller than the rest and a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man that was huge. He was $15. I now see vinly cars for these guys. So far they have Marty McFly with the Delorean and 1966 T.V. Show Batman with his wheels.

That sounds really cool, I wish I had more space for stuff like this.
