\"\"<\/a>So there\u2019s a company called Funko that makes these figures called Pop Vinyl.\u00a0 They all have a unique, stylized look: big heads, large round (usually) black eyes, and they have them based on pretty much any character you can think of.\u00a0 Characters from comics, TV shows, movies, cartoons, and even video games!\u00a0 I don\u2019t really collect them because I already have two shelves of amiibo figures and I need to set limits somewhere.\u00a0 But when I saw they had Pac-Man Pop Vinyl figures, I decided I wanted those since I\u2019m so crazy about Pac-Man.\u00a0 I finally got them all, so I thought I\u2019d share them with you here.\u00a0 Plus a majority of them I got in an interesting way, so I\u2019ll tell that story as well!<\/p>\n

So here they all are in the boxes.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t take them out of the boxes because, unlike amiibo figures, they\u2019re actually much easier to store in the boxes.\u00a0 There\u2019s Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, the four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde), as well as a Blue Ghost, which is what the ghosts turn into temporarily when you eat a power pellet.\u00a0 I do like how the ghosts have different expressions on their faces to reflect their personalities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So the first one I actually got was Ms. Pac-Man.\u00a0 Found her in a store but not any of the others.\u00a0 I got the Clyde ghost as a Christmas present last year, along with another Funko Pop Vinyl figure that I\u2019ll show you in a bit.\u00a0 But the rest of the ghosts I got in an interesting way.\u00a0 Recently I went to an arcade called Round 1.\u00a0 I even wrote about it in an earlier article here.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 At the ticket redemption area, they had all the other Pop Vinyl Pac-Man figures I didn\u2019t have (except Pac-Man).\u00a0 Well, the Space Invaders Frenzy machine gave you 500 tickets when you got a high score, so after playing a few times, I was able to get the others there!\u00a0 So the only other one I was missing was Pac-Man.\u00a0 You\u2019d think I\u2019d have gotten that one first.\u00a0 So I ordered it online to complete my collection.<\/p>\n

There is one other classic arcade Funko Pop figure that I have, but it\u2019s not Pac-Man related.\u00a0 For Christmas I got a Q*bert one, and I also got a mini key chain Pac-Man figure at a store somewhere, so here\u2019s a picture of those.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all!\u00a0 Although I\u2019d really like to have the Mega Man Pop Vinyl figures, I think this will be all I collect.\u00a0 I did hear they\u2019re making figures of Tom Servo and Crow though.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 Let me know what Pop Vinyl figures you have in the comments section!\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
