    Funko is the company that makes the POP vinyls, etc.

    Pop Culture Shock is a statue company. They're the ones who make the expensive Street Fighter statues that show up on Toy Ark from time to time.

    For the record, though, I think a Funko Transformers license would be great.

    Yeah, despite having the word \"pop\" in their name they aren\'t related to the vynals. I concur that I would love some G1 Pop figures.

    These guys did the He-Man statues as well which were very good and faithful to the original cartoon.

    This is an interesting move given that XM, P1 and IA all have Transformer licenses, while P1 has G.I. Joe and MtG licenses.

    The quality is good, however XM and P1 are renowned for being a step above. That said, PCS should be a much cheaper option for statue buyers. The side effect is that it will take about 3 years for the statue to be released from the pre-order date.

    Also, they have just changed owners.... so everything I said could also be irrelevant.

    Good luck with this. There's turmoil with PCS and its current customer's right now. A lot of us are trying to get back our deposits on their other statues--multiple delays, some taking 2+ years too release--but they have deliberately ignored them. Not to mention some of the problems on previous releases.
