At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

I dont care what you are buying, MK3-5 would have been nice too and yea its primaris hate, I think they are as gak as feth.
Except the Intercessors are objectively nice and Mk10 looks good.
Just because you want to rage and squeal over the fluff doesn't mean it wasn't stylistically executed well. List what's objectively and subjectively bad about Mk10. I'll wait.
I like the Mk10 design, but I think it is a fallacy to say an aesthetic is objectively nice. Aesthetics are always individual. It goes without saying that the individual can be influenced by a variety of societal norms, but aesthetics are still inherently subjective.
The design can be objectively practical/plausible of course, but that is in no way the same as objectively good-looking, beyond it fitting within expected aesthetic norms for that culture, which still does not directly tally for the individual.
My point is more that it's someone just raging for no good reason because Primaris. It's silly, especially when the Funko dudes are all the same size.

Rage and squeal ?
I am just voicing my opinion, I apologise if it upsets you.
I would have been tempted if there was a tactical marine in full armour, as I was going to get someone to repaint it for me.
And it's loaded out exactly like a regular Space Marine outside the slightly longer Bolter (which looks better anyway). Ergo you're just whining that Primaris showed up.

Repeat after me - someone disliking the aesthetics of something I like does not entitle me to describe them as "raging" or "whining".

Clear some space on your shelves, because Space Marines Funko POP! vinyl figures are about to secure a position in a Warhammer store near you.
This collection includes a stalwart Ultramarines Intercessor, a secretive Dark Angels Veteran, a swift Blood Angels Assault Marine, and a vicious(ly adorable) Space Wolves Pack Leader.
If you’re eager to assemble your squad of vinyl warriors right away, we’ll have them on hand at Warhammer Fest, taking place on May 11th and 12th at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. All four will be popping up in Warhammer stores and other retailers over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out in your local shops.
We’ll have another 3 videos this week, so stay tuned to the Warhammer TV Facebook page to check them out!

It’s a straight business decision. They sell the license. Their existing fan base may or may not buy, but by this thread’s statements - these things are everywhere. That’s a huge amount of exposure at no risk as I see it. I don’t think people will quit over it, but there will be someone that joins as a result.
Is that marine even a primaris? Looks like a normal marine with a MkIV head. Normal greaves, shoulder pads, etc.

I got all 4 just cause. I don't know if others mentioned in this thread but Game Stop offers a discount I think. Buy 3 get 4th free or something like that.
Now if they'd just make some real action figures like Figuarts or Revoltech or something along those lines.
Ah, the flgs got them today! Picked up an Intercessor for myself that I’ll repaint in my Salamanders scheme. Picked up a second Intercessor and the Dark Angel that I’ll repaint as Imperial Statuary.
If they decided to make 4 Chaos Marines in the same style, we'd obviously get a Black Legion, Thousand Son and Death Guard (as those have Codices) and they would match the pictures on their respective Codex, just like these sorta do.
But what would the 4th one be? Crimson Slaughter? A Berserker or Noise Marine?
Yeha, I agree. It would be nice if they did Rubric, Plague Marine, Berserker, Noise Marine so that all 4 chaos alignments were represented, but I doubt they'd put either Berserker or Noise Marine (neither of which have their own codex) over a Black Legion marine (the poster boy of its codex, just like UM is to the loyalist)
A four set of the god troopers Would he sweet though. A Noise Marine in the style of the recent “old school” special model would be an instant buy for me.

Good guesses, would have to be a 'zerker. But seems unlikely they are doing any more after this. If they did it would most likely be alien based. So Eldar, Orks, Necrons, Tau. Would be my guess.

Why? If they sell well enough, I'm sure Funko will expand the line.

Exactly and the next "logical' options would be Chaos Marines, although maybe they'll do an Eldar Guardian, Ork Boy, Genestealer and Necron Warrior if it's popular enough for some Xenos
If it makes money then Funko will definitely expand it.

It’s not how Funko operate.
They go big.
And I wouldn’t base it on ‘if successful’
They likely look at a license at the start to make those decisions, and have a good 10+ planned.
Then whether it would get a second season or run of models, that would then depend on the success.
There are also the larger funko rides, and larger models. The larger ones would work well for say a dreadnought, daemon prince, carnifex, and crisis suit
Actually looking at the fact they got 4 SM's of different types and funko pop do go large with this then we might be looking at 4 Eldar, 4 Orks, 4 Necrons, 4 Tau, 4 CMs, 4 Tyranids etc...

Not really familiar with how Funko works, but I don't see this as 4 SMs, I see it as 1 SM per codex.
So if we get multiple Eldar, it would be a Craftworld Eldar, Druhkari and a Harlequin. 1 for each codex
So we could end up with 4 loayalist Marines, 4 Chaos Marines, 4 Aeldari and 4 various Xenos (an Ork, a Tau, and Necrons and Genestealer probably)
Because that would be fair representation for almost all Codices
