Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
For the last couple of years, the young ones running around the house (my two boys, and Zach) have been rather keen on a different type of action figures. They aren\\u2019t as interested in the multiple points of articulation as much as they are the fun sized versions of their favorite characters. It started with the Mighty Muggs, but over the last year, they have been rather fascinated with the Funko Pop Vinyl figures. Which brings us to this week\\u2019s Major Spoilers Poll of the Week.
