FunkoPOP! Disney: Moana - Tamatoa,Multicolor,Basic

My two year old is obsessed with the song shiny and takes this guy with him everywhere! It’s the only toy I could find of him!!! So cute!

Detail

Our family is full of Funko fans. The three of us each have our own, including our toddler. Our daughter loves Moana, and Tamatoa is one of her favorite characters. Since she already has some other Funkos, we decided to pre-order this one. At first, the big toothy grin was a bit much for her, but by the next day, she was running around with this Pop and singing "Shiny" with him. This has the same great quality of all our other Funkos and we feel comfortable allowing our 2-year-old to play with this without supervision. There is quite a bit of glitter on his back so, if you have an aversion to glitter, this is not for you.

To start off I just have to say he's gorgeous, and both mine and my boyfriend's favorite Moana character so we just love the amount of detail put into this little guy. I read a couple of reviews stating he's missing a leg, but to clarify, he's missing a leg in the movie! It is not broken. This is not a toy, but a collectible. It's meant to be admired so I wouldn't recommend you buy it to serve the purpose of a kids toy or a cake topper because it does shed a lot of glitter. I don't know if it's harmful to ingest or not, but it's never bad to be precautious.

For some reason I thought this was going to be larger, but now that I have it in person, OMG, it couldn't get any cuter. Tamatoa is so colorful and, of course, SHINY! I love his little grin and the fact that he fits in the palm of my hand makes him look cute and harmless even though we all know he was really a butt. This Pop was really well done. The images online do not do him justice, his colors are a lot brighter in person (as you can see by my photos). He looks so perfect next to my Te Fiti Pop. Absolutely adorable!! My new favorite Funko!!

As a Jemaine Clement fan, I was super excited to see he was in Moana as Tamatoa. Such an underrated character and I feel he got the short end of the stick when it comes to merchandise. So, when Funko released this figurine, I was all ready to jump on it. The coloring is so detailed... Funko outdid themselves. Since Tamatoa is not shaped like your typical Pop figure, he kind of has to be packaged flipped around so his shiny back is featured on the front of the box, but the box isn't important to me. Thank you, Funko for making this. I love it.

This was unfortunately way smaller than expected but that’s on me. The detail was absolutely gorgeous and I couldn’t help but be giddy with how cute it was overall. Super happpy with the purchase. Little pricey for size but adorable for Moana party for toddler.
