Hey guys, it's Andie! It's time...
For the brand-new Five Nights at Freddy's plushies!
No, uh, not those.
I guess these aren't that new after all!
Dang did Funko double its employees since the new years or something?Everything is being released all at once!
Anyway, let's not dilly-dally. I apparently have tons of more work to get done in the near future.
The Blacklight plushies!
Plushies that got a really, really mixed reaction with fans!
People who adore them and people who despise them, and I'm no different. My immediate reaction was annoyance.
Really Funko? Reusing your designs yet again with only minor changes?
This is one of the things I've hated about the Five Nights at Freddy's Funko plushies.
They made fantastic designs in the beginning, but with each new wave most of the designs were just simply tweaked from the original four!
That's not fun, Fun-ko. In fact, it becomes really boring and predictable.
Why would I want to buy this new plushie
that was so simply changed from the first that I could have done the changing MYSELF?
Sew on a few different things and BAM! A new character?
That's not how it works Funko. if Scott did that with his new games,
just taking the old character and adding a few things on top and calling it new?
I don't think any of us fans would have been okay with it!
it would have been extremely desperate and uncreative.
And the sad thing is some people actually say that about Scott and his characters when it's not even close to being true.
I mean just look at how different Withered Freddy is versus Classic Freddy!
A lot of people like to compare these two as being the same.
It's not the same base model at all!
And Scott honestly could have gotten away with using classic Freddy!
Just more worn down if he really wanted to and even then it wouldn't have really been considered lazy.
But no. He took the extra step. He created another unique character!
Personally I like withered Freddy more than classic Freddy.
It's like Scott perfected the design of unsettling haunted, children's animatronics!
But you, Funko, YOU did not take the extra step and make something new, something creative.
You just made minor money-saving changes, and as new. That's not something I give credit for! At all!
That being said, those were my immediate feelings towards Funko making more recolors, and that's still how I feel!
But once I really looked at these new plushies. I felt a sort of giddiness.
Yeah, these aren't new and they aren't unique, but they have this very pleasing aesthetic!
The type of energy I like to be surrounded with.
Now, it's not going to be like that for everyone.
Each and every one of us is very unique and will prefer certain designs over others.
But this one, this set, it really really shined out to me.
Foxy, the colors and contrasts of dreamy sweets like cotton candy or blue raspberry icies,
Freddy, the unsettling and strange color mixtures like a fun house,
Foxy, the lime-green of Halloween punch and parties,
Freddy, the strange but pleasing color mixtures,
The cupcake, another bright and unsettling Halloween vibe,
And our last Foxy, beautiful purples and blues with the popping bubblegum pink!
Its popping because bubble gum pops haha get it? no? ill leave
Yes, I agree that some of them have better color mixtures than others, but all in all, I'm in awe of these plushies.
And Funko, good news, I feel like these bright, saturated, and popping colors are really going to make these plushies fly off the shelves!
Older fans like myself loving the clowny childhood, Fairlight glow of these plushies, with the combination of Five Nights at Freddy's,
Another nostalgic connection. And for the younger fans, just how popping these are in shelves!
surrounded by muted color toys with no spirit.
I know I must sound like I'm madly in love, but this is just one of those things that clicks with me, so well!
Everything about it! The neon colors glowing with the black accents and the nostalgic horror feel of our Five Nights at Freddy's characters,
This is a pair made in heaven. I cannot tell you how much I love these plushies.
Whatever team or designer made these,
I feel like knows what they were doing and they were probably so excited to get these out there!
I could rant and rave about why I love this aesthetic, and how it's become a part of me.
BUT I don't want to bore you guys with that,
Instead let's just take a closer look at these new plushies!
Okay, I lied. I want to look at that box first!
THIS BOX.
Look at this box! This box amazed me when I'd first seen it. It's literally perfect for these guys!
I kind of just figured at first it would be the typical FNAF one box.
But no they went all out with this set, down to the details!
This logo is amazing. I adore it! the colors, the way it glitches out.
Scott, please make a game with this aesthetic!
it would be so cool and unsettling!
I actually hope I can get this sticker off without ruining this box because I AM KEEPING IT!
I feel like I've never reviewed something with this much praise it really puts me in a great mood!
Now let's take a look at these guys one by one starting with the oddball, the cupcake
Now I know I said I love these,
But what would have made them ten times better was if they had made each one of these a unique character like the cupcake!
we do have too many foxy's as it is!
and too many Freddy's!
One Freddy and one foxy would have been great if they were with three more unique characters like Bonnie,
Seriously, Bonnie would have probably been the neatest one for this set!
Springtrap and Baby would have also made two more amazing additions.
So sad Funko, please do another wave of these and correct your mistake!
So yeah, I do think it was a bit ridiculous that they made TWO Freddy's And THREE FOXY'S (what's wrong with you funko?)
I know they were probably just thinking about sales, but come on Funko do it for the fans!
Anyway our oddball, the cupcake
I love how these characters have crazy eyes!
Pink and purple look wonderful together here the yellow and orange seems like the oddest choices to me here.
But the weirdness of these plushies gives them a sort of charm, to where I don't even mind!
and now our first Freddy,
Can I just say how much I love this blue color especially as an accent this Freddy is so cute!
I just can't even! :D
I'm so glad he's mine!
and now for probably the one I was the most excited about, the cotton candy foxy. I love this so much!
No changes would have made this better to me. This is the kind of plushy
I will keep for the rest of my life!
You know what, it's so weird to think I almost forgot these are gonna look amazing under a black light.
I've never been the type to actually have a black light in my room for decoration
But I definitely will now, since I work as a clown in October in a haunted attraction.
I wear a lot of these bright neon crazy colors!
Some pop, but others that you'd think would.
actually, don't under a black light.
So I hope Funko tested these materials under a black light before choosing them.
I really hope they all look great under it, but like I said my other recent video!
( veitnam flashback) How things look in the light is usually more important than how they look in the dark. It's true
I don't really care how they look under a black light compared to how they look now and right now. I love them and,
Now for another foxy our lime-green foxy. or should I say...
Lemon-lime foxy? I like the mixture of green and yellow.
It's very different. Just another poppin' plushie. and now for our last Freddy, blue and yellow,
Colors that aren't complementary, but surely complement each other nonetheless!
Alongside those glowing pink accents. I really loved the color scheme and
Last but not least, our our cool colored plush!
Foxy. blue and purple always look wonderful together, and this is no exception. I love the bright pink and yellow!
Though with foxy most of the accent colors are all on his face because his body is a bit more plain.
That's why I think Freddy actually has a better overall look to him with these black light guys.
This purple foxy is still one of my favorites though. He's very nice!
Now for the exciting part..
how these things look under the magic of a black light!
Well, let's find out
Whoa look at these guys. That's so neat!
It's funny how the pink looks salmon, almost orange under the light.
Sadly the blue doesn't pop that much,
but the yellow is really intense and awesome looking. the green plushies seem to glow the best.
and Purple foxy looks really cool, too!
What do you guys think?
Overall I really like these!
Wait, that plushie wasn't here before....
Balloon boy! it's about time you showed up,
Now balloon boy isn't one of our black light gang, but he did come out shortly after they did as a Hot Topic exclusive.
It's about time balloon boy was made into a plushie. It feels like that should have been done a long time ago!
But geez something looks different about him. I wonder if he got that Donald Trump tan.
Nope, never mind. He already had it.. this plushie is surprisingly accurate,
It feels like it's been a long time since Funko made a plushie almost entirely correct. No strange off colors!
No wonky shapes, at least none that the actual balloon boy didn't have!
I'm still not satisfied though with the whole different body shapes for the FNAF plushies.
I mean I guess this one's okay, but I much preferred the others!
it's strange because even the puppet who has a drastically long , and thin humanoid body has plushy body like the others!
So it was kind of assumed that all of them would be in that style.
But instead Funko kind of just switched!
Halfway in. this is still a nice plushy though a great new addition that isn't just a recolor.
I am happy with this little guy and from what I can tell most fans are as well!
There's been a lot of positive feedback for him going around.
and that was our new plushie set series four. with series 5 already on the horizon and I'm not going to comment on them until they're in my hands!
Anyway, thanks for watching guys. I hope you all have an awesome night. Bye!
