Are Rush Fans Into Funko Toys? If They Made A Geddy, Alex, and Neil Would You Buy Them?

I am not a big fan of this figure but I do have some. I saw they made the Metallica figures recently so I was thinking that Funko could do the Rush figures.

What do you think?

 

I mean they could do the 2112 robe variant versions. Alex holding a mini double neck guitar. Ged holding onto a mini double neck bass and Neil with long hair and mustache holding onto his sticks.

 

Of course they could make other versions of the Rush figure.

 

Are you in or out?

So kind of like the bobble heads. If they were decently done I would buy them. I have The X-Files figures. Those are the only ones I’ve bought.

As I've said in the past, Rush would best be served done by the McFarlane toy line...

For something cutesy, I'd go with the Kubrick toy line:

This one kind of looks like Lifeson already despite the southpaw

A couple of months ago, I splurged and bought myself a couple of Rush t-shirts. They were the first examples of any of the Rush marketing/merchandising machine that I've bought in more than 25 years.

 

So I think it's safe to say I'm a no.

If I were to sell Rush figures I'd go with the Moving Pictures images of them. Alex in the red blazer, Neil with the bow tie, and Geddy being Geddy. If those sold well THEN I'd hit the fans with the figures in the 2112 robes, Pratt mustachio, and Lerxst camel toe!

I like Funkos and have a few of them...some horror guys, some wrestlers, The Simpsons, Gandalf, a few Star Wars characters, Woody and Buzz, and a lone Paul Stanley. They seem to make one for everything. I'd buy Rush ones for sure.

 

What I really want are some 70s Rush figures made my NECA. I think they make the best figures that are still affordable. Their Aliens line is friggin' sweet!

Sideshow makes the best Alien and Sci-fi figures but they’re considerably more expensive. Real works of art.

I agree. From his “I think I’ll split up Van Halen” era.

Probably wouldn't buy the action figures (or l'il statues or whatever), but I dig the Axe Heaven white doubleneck. Always meant to pick up the miniature Rickenbacker but never got around to it. I don't think it's available anymore.

 

Never liked the ES they made - the gold was too cheap looking.

 

I like the Lego minifigure idea. Lego should cash in, especially since their sales have been dropping.

If you're referring to the figure above with the leftie guitarist, they're not Lego. They're Kubrick, a Japanese toy line not too dissimilar from Lego but sturdier, slightly bigger, with better detail, and produced in limited numbers.

 

Kubrick:

Rush done by Kubrick? Yeah, I'd buy that.

Yes! This! They had prototypes of Geddy and Alex but they never went into production. Only Neil exists. Wish I still had the owner's phone number! I could call him and ask if I could buy them! That would be nuts!!! One of a kind Geddy one of kind Alex figure!

 

With base and wood stand about ten inches. Neil is on my subwoofer behind my couch in my living room.

I prefer Stanley Kubrick.

 

Never got into these!

 

I can't wait to buy 5 of the new Porgs action figure with real life feathers. Will chirp sweet nothings into your right ear. How romantic. Chewbacca would get jealous!

Earl, I remember you saying all the Knucklebonz figures looked like garbage, were cheaply made, and some of yours broke when you moved them. It's the main reason I never bought that Neil. :LOL:

A friend of mine bought this for me once. I've never even looked at it. Must be in the basement somewhere.
