Since there was no info in the package about the 2 missing figures, I decided to check with www.popinabox.co.uk via live chat. I was told that I'll receive a second package. Simon & John are on order for me, but not availabe at the moment... Cool. Yeah, i must admit that it surprised me when they just sent some of the stuff out that i'd ordered to me going back - as, apart from Amazon (& sometimes Wordery & Book Depository), my usual experience is that e-tailers just wait until they have everything in; unless you're prepared to pay for extra postage of course. I received John last Saturday, and finally Simon came yesterday to complete the line-up. --- Attachment Deleted---

Must say I was impressed when I googled the collection on the EB Games website They got each members role including actual timeline duration, spot on ! In fact not only is Nick a keyboardist and backing vocalist but also "a vocal effect artist" from 1978 to the present day. I've never come across that description before "a vocal effect artist". Someone doing the marketing/advertising is obviously a DD enthusiast indeed and has notably noticed Nick's contribution to live versions of The Wild Boys, The Reflex, White Lines (just to name a few) including his vocal efforts opening the Medazaland LP Nice !!! In most cases they never get these facts correct. www.ebgames.com.au/search?q=Duran+Duran+-+Nick+Rhodes+Pop%21+Vinyl+Figure

A local record store had two Simons and two Johns. This is the same place that had a copy of ASLGD months after RSD, so I’m guessing they’ll be there for a while.

Received mine in Ireland. I normally take my Funko Pops out of the box, but leaving these intact as I have them displayed on top of one of my cd shelves.

Lol at Nick being labelled a "vocal effect artist". They must have a minimum word limit for every Funko description that has to be met.
Simon must be miffed he wasn't called "Duran Duran vocalist, backing vocalist, guitarist, harmonicist, and flageoletist", and John must be pissed they didn't also call him a fretless bass player and keyboardist too, and Roger must be devastated he wasn't "Duran Duran drummer, percussionist, and chief coffee maker when on tour".

I am bumping this because about a month ago I ordered them after receiving an Amazon gift certificate. When I bought them on Amazon Roger was the most expensive of them which I found rather odd, he was around 8 dollars. I like them but would have preferred them in a later era (like Rio) and with their instruments, like many of the other ones. I had never bought any Funko Pops before for me, though for Christmas I bought my dad a Black Panther one. I took out John to look at it and kept the rest in the boxes until I display them on a shelf. I'm in the process of getting rid of many books (which I am donating to my local library), and plan to use a bookshelf to display them.
