It’s Flash Friday! I
know it’s been forever since we’ve had a Flash Friday. There will be more of these coming. I think things are going to become very
interesting for Flash collectors pretty soon.
The success of the TV show hasn’t gone unnoticed and I have a feeling
the merchandise machines are spinning.
We’ve already seen solicits for replica rings, replica badges, Funko
Pop, and Funko Reaction figures based just on the TV show. Today’s Flash Friday is about a Funko
product, but not the ones I just mentioned.
Instead we’re looking at the Mopeez.
Ridiculous spelling aside, the Mopeez is a new plush line
from Funko. Retailing for around nine
dollars the Mopeez sit at four and a half inches tall and are weighted on the
bottom so that they retain their sitting position. The slouched posture and frown are the
calling cards of the line, hence the Mopeez name. I like the little guy a lot though. They design pushes all the right “cute”
buttons and the small size keeps the price point down. They are currently estimated to show up
around August.
Flash isn’t the only Mopeez in the line. You also get Superman and a host of
Bat-Family characters. There is Batman,
Robin, Batgirl, Joker, and Harley Quinn.
The Batman is a standout because he doesn’t look any different than he
normally does. Moping is kind of his
thing. I’m sorry I meant brooding. Darkness.
No Parents.
It is interesting that Flash and Superman are the only non
Bat characters in the lineup. Superman
is a given, every DC branded line has a Superman in it. The Flash only gets invited to play
sometimes, which in the past has made collecting easy. I really feel that we’re on the brink of
Flash being included in every big product which means that Flash fans will have
to start getting more selective in their collecting or take out a second
mortgage.
