HA - quite good.
Was thinking it would be the Go West outfit but nice to see they've considered the various options.
Don't think I'll be buying these though as not a fan of Funko Pops in general

you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional
Re: funko Pops
I think they failed on Chris... They never used a hat with "PSB" on it... and even if we give that permission, the font of the hat is not a PSB stile font. Nor the semi-transparent glasses and design... Also the ramdom use of the Super era "Pet Shop Boys" logo on the boxes looks unjustified...the West End Girls era logo must have beeen the corret option for that toy designs... (or sometring related with the Please era if they needed to go with a Farrow design..but not Super!)
This is not my signature.

Re: funko Pops
Got to admit I'm hugely disappointed. There was so much potential here and they totally blew it.
The PSB cap on Chris, as has been mentioned already, is a huge misstep. Oznerol's mock up in this thread is infinitely better and could have been achieved, and is from the right era.
Neil's one is just "meh!". It could be anyone with curly hair and a trenchcoat - heck I even looked a bit like that in the 80's - the mic is the only thing that suggests it's anyone specifically.
Using the "Super" design is also lazy, and doesn't really pop, if you pardon the pun. Using the Introspective colours on the front/side of the box is mixing metaphors as well. It's a muddled design to be sure.
I was all "take my money NOW!" initially, but I'm actually not sure I really want these anymore.

Re: funko Pops
I think they're great - I've always wanted models of Holly Johnson and Rick Moranis.
