If you’re wondering why Funko is releasing bobble head versions of its Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures (on stands no less) instead of the format they have been producing, The Blot’s guess is it has something to do with George Lucas’ current licensing agreement with Hasbro. Can’t have two toy companies with Star Wars licenses releasing competing “urban” vinyl figures now can we? So instead of releasing Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures that might resemble Mighty Muggs, Funko gives us bobble heads instead.
Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 won’t hit store shelves until March 2011, but you can pre-order all seven figures from Entertainment Earth here for $7.99 each.
