@DisTrackers Apparently I'm alone but updated Firefly pops are exciting! Very shiny. Unless there's something else with that name, but I'm sure it's what, the 20th anniversary for that show? Getting old sure goes by fast.

@hambonefakena @DisTrackers @RockOsiris Here's hoping he'll be a con exclusive? I agree it's weird also I'd argue he's the main guy, at the start anyway. They also left Gina & Rosa out of Brooklyn 99, so I'm hoping those will be exclusives too. But who knows who they poll, Jonah haters maybe.

@DisTrackers Release date needs to be on Tuesday the 17th! (June) But I'll take sooner! Always wanted a pop of Bruton Gaster.

@smudgedIipstick @cleosnilee And will probably turn bright orange over time like the Create a Monster did.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@cleosnilee I knew I was cooked at :02 when it came up that my wait time was 20 mins 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have never seen that in a checkout line before, then yup, sold out. I don't know why making enough for everyone is so hard, need someone with a marketing degree to explain it to me.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

Let me be your Fairy Godmother here. You'll roll your ankle in this and it will never be the same for the rest of your life. You'll know when storms are a comin' and not be able to walk on uneven surfaces without paying for it for a week. Honestly glass might be better.🧚‍♀️

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers It's not even old yet but I'm still waiting to see if we'll ever get Gina and Rosa from Brooklyn 99 because it feels really wrong to look at the set without them. Just bc they left the show before the end doesn't mean they weren't still cherished characters.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DanLatham128 @DisTrackers We needed a Boo Berry in the 10 Inch too. They really just left him behind twice like he isn't also a popular character. I'm with you I like these and the Rudolph style ones better than the pop versions. But it released too close to dorbs crapping out. Sad.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@cubcore3 @DisTrackers Exactly, these dudes are downright abusive and a few legit dangerous, especially to female workers who they threaten to punch if they say 'No, it's one per person'. To protect staff, stores will just let them be the man babies they are to each other instead.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers I'm hoping for the Spaghetti scene as a movie moment but I missed out on the first ones so I'm honestly looking forward to this! If they included the puppies I'd be cooked!

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers I'm so glad they told us because I've literally been checking this twice a day like a maniac because I didn't want to miss it!

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@HeroOfTime90 @DisTrackers If you are streaming it, the Dean pop might not make sense to you because I think it's from an outtake? Can't remember but you may want to look up "Supernatural Eye of the Tiger" on YouTube to see why you want this pop. 😆

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers I don't know if this is for everyone or just Canadians, but you have to pick out a whole regular pop yourself person, &all the things, THEN at the end the HP stuff is an add on. You can choose 2 houses. I don't know, I think you get reg pop+ extra bodies etc.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@KeekneesKustoms @DisTrackers They've always messed up his facial hair bc that kind of stubble is so hard to translate and I agree with Sam's eyes, also the outfit. Sam's pop feels like someone explained to the designer what happened to Sam & they heard "yellow eyed demon" and FBI only.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers I can say from experience with instagram & Etsy, most have completely shifted to AI/bots esp with copyright, lawyers just punch in the key words and the bots just go report anyone using it in a business setting. They've fired all the humans, so there's never anyone to talk to.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@ScarletJokerTWT And Ghostface is just a mask and a robe, I'm interested to see how they make that worth all that money and make an interesting doll out of it. But I am HERE for Art the Terrifier clown. I've seen customs of that and it's awesome.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@SeeingMount Seeing people make their own customs of Reel Drama, esp Cleo & Ghoulia must have finally inspired them! I paid WAY too much for the OGs but would love to have more! Plus Bianca and maybe a uniformed Enid, and dare I dream, a Morticia?

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@ShypotleScreams @DisTrackers I literally just ordered twice by accident (one card notified to say it said no, so ordered again on another, then got a new notification saying oh sorry, approved 🤦🏻‍♀️) and it looks like I'm stuck that way. No cancellation possible. I think you're fine.

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@cleosnilee Didn't you yourself leak that she was coming? With this exact sketch? I remember seeing it. They are supposed to make Skelita G3 2025 too. Bc the shows cancelled you thought the dolls still were? G3 is selling well, kids/ppl don't need a tie in these days. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Penelope West @PenelopeWest4]

@DisTrackers @New_Plagues @RockOsiris They only make things like this (and glitter, and the bejeweled FAO one) because they see people making them in the custom pop market and just HAVE to try and usurp anyone doing something unique, even if the market for it is actually NICHE at best.
