U2inc. acknowledging POP with the release of…

…a set of plastic figures.



Now… I believe those figures are a pop object in its own right which makes sense, but… there’s so much better we could do with Pop.

Also : I’m puzzled that the figures company aimed for a rather low point in U2’s career. IMO it would have made much more sense to go cowboy with Joshua Tree U2 era.

I don’t get this stuff.

I’m an adult. What do I want with a box of toys?

What child would want to play with these random musician dolls from 25 years ago?

When I was 8, nobody gave me a set of Marvin Berry and the Starlighters toys. Wtf would I have done with them?

Ffs.

Ah, the mysterious world of collectibles…

The Funko toys are huge worldwide. And I don’t get it either.

Think of all the endless fun you can have with these toys...

Create your own Grammy Awards Ceremony - Using Ken and Barbie Dolls as presenters, as U2 win every Grammy in every category....

Relive the bands finest moments - use the money from Monopoly to recreate the bands biggest concert grosses and then compare the piles of cash u2 have with other artists who can't sell out their gigs (other artists toys available and required)....

Guess who's coming to dinner....Have the lads round the table as you tuck into a McDonalds, the happy meal toy can add a cool bit of extra fun - be nice and share your lovely food with the boys....

Bathtime with Bono - some private 1 on 1 time with the main man and those soapy suds....

Doctors and Nurses with Larry - Be the saviour of u2 as you welcome Larry to your special private hospital where you are going to fix that troublesome back of his....Can you get him ready for those Vegas shows?....

The possibilities are endless...

I would venture with a high level of certainty that these collectibles usually stay in their boxes.

the Pop set for U2 isn't real is it?  I can't find any evidence of it on-line.  They have Achtung Baby/Zoo TV era out now.  That's the proper era to release for U2 as there was a very distinct look for the band at that time.  Not sure what the other eras could look like other than Bono holding a white flag for the early years.
