    Not to throw cold water on the discussion but I would advise against posting screenshots and snippets from social media sites in regards to the ongoing situation with Vic. We don't wish to bring outside drama to this site as it violates the rules.

    That being said, please carry on. Thank you!

    Is this a bad time to mention I started a Full Metal Panic marathon and just got through FUMOFFU? The episode with them taking Kurtz to the Hot Spring just doesn't age well with this situation in the real world...

    Shane wrote that when he was still grieving the death of his friend and the depression onset when his wife divorced him and he was let go for being combative with the rest of the animation department. Yes, he was there when Monty first drew the Remnant map out of ketchup at an IHOP, but he did not have any input on story or characters. Shane's job was animating cool fights and coming up with new ones, not explain why Raven decided to fight team JNPR out of nowhere in Volume 3. that fight was dropped because it made no sense in the narrative, and Shane wanted it because Monty thought it was cool. another would have been the V3 fight between Adam and Yang, which was a lot lengthier, however it was cut down to a single stroke to showcase how out of her league Yang was at that time. The animation was moved over to the V6 right instead where it fit a lot better.

    There's a lot of other things in that letter that have been discussed three years ago, but I won't go over them.

    I might skip these.....Although the idea of keeping them sealed is nice.

    I have been waiting for these for a long time! And we're getting them! I was in public when I first saw pics so I had to hide my excitement. Obviously Blake is the best of the bunch... no I'm not biased because she's my favorite... but seriously Blake is best girl.

    And knowing Funko I hope we get future waves with RWBY in their alternate costumes, Team JNPR and their alternate costumes, the villains, the teachers, and other teams like SSSN and CFVY.

    Same, but not something overly expensive like some I've seen on Amazon or Rooster Teeth's store for over a hundred dollars. Also I hope they would be 6" in height.

    Are Pops poseable? I never opened one to even learn.
    Them's fightin' words.

    With this said, I wonder if they'll continue the ones the made before, with the anime eyes. I have 12 figures of those and I don't want to stop....
    Also same.

    Some Pops can have their heads turned, but that’s about it...

    IIRC, it's the Marvel ones that are bobble-heads. It's a licensing workaround, because Hasbro currently retains the master license for whatever Pops! would normally be considered.

    If it wasn't Marvel, then it was some other major license with some other major manufacturer, but the reasoning remains the same. Bobble-heads are outside the purview of the other license holder, so Funko can produce the figures with impunity.

    I can hear it. Not quite the same vocal register, but he definitely had the "gravel-voiced" thing down-pat as Hei in Darker than Black.

    Ren barely spoke in the first two volumes though, and his voice wasn't as distinctive as Qrow's, who does a lot of exposition and discussions with the characters. I dunno, could go either way.
