Funko has a lot of product lines that are completely off my radar. At times it's been pretty overwhelming. The current line that I keep seeing and overlooking is the Funko Gold line of vinyl figures. They are unarticulated, stand about 5" tall, are pretty naturally-proportioned (for Funko), and they feature a blocky aesthetic in the facial features and hands. The reason I didn't pay attention, though, was because of the subject matter. The figures all seemed to be of celebrity athletes and musicians. There are very few real people I would like to have represented in my collection - I steer towards ridiculous characters with outlandish costumes. So I knew in the back of my head that I could potentially partake in this line with the right female musician with the right iconic look. Then after a few years I spotted these TLC figures from their Waterfalls video. I have a personal connection as I jokingly sing this sing with the wrong lyrics more often than I care to admit. I think it's funny, but I'm probably being very annoying.
TLC was easily my favorite girl group of the 90s. Spice Girls, En Vogue, and all the pop groups at the end of the decade were not my cup of tea, but TLC was great from the start and I'm super happy to have them in my collection. I would even buy them again in their Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg neon condom outfits if Funko made them. Let's check out the TLC Funko Gold figures below!
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
