Funko to be at NYCC 2015
« on: February 17, 2015, 09:13:38 PM »
I was just reading on the Funko Funatic website that Funko will be at NYCC and with exclusives. Maybe the line for Toy Tokyo won't be as bad.

Yup that's what I was hearing. Cool that reedpop is stepping it up. First Funko, then Hasbro, then Lego with a store and an exclusive set for sale.

As we reported last week during Toy Fair, Funko will officially be attending this year’s New York Comic Con. Not just having exclusives here, but inside their own MASSIVE booth and everything. Brian stated they are looking to have 20-25 NYCC exclusives on hand with them. I know that myself, and numerous NYCC friends, are thrilled by this news.

hmmmm. im not big on the toy thing, but even i have to wonder what funco has up it's sleeve.

i know action figures often need metal molds. tmnt figure's molds cost 50,000 usd, for each custom figure. this is why so many masters of the universe toys have the same parts, to save on mold costs. they cannot be hard action figures. maybe statues? pillows/plush dolls? toys made of hard candy?

Funko always has exclusives and often with runs of 500 pcs or less.

Most of the time they're either large size, repaints (flocked/gitd), etc.

I've recently become a collector/buyer of Funko. I never realized how popular they are and how large people's collections can get. I haven't gone into the rare pops yet, I'm starting small. Collecting the SDCC exclusives was my first buying experience. I do not DARE try for the booth at SDCC, instead I was able this past weekend to buy them at Hot Topic and I did get the Diggle in the Arrow suit from a booth at SDCC. I am interested to see what Funko has in store for NYCC as it's their first time attending. I hope plans are laid better then SDCC.

Are they planning to have a Funko Fridays event at NYCC?

I don't remember that being mentioned during the Periscope Q&A last week, it would be AWESOME if they did. I went to the SDCC one this year for 1st time.

From the convos on the Funatic board there won't be a Fundays but like FoCC  the Funatics attending NYCC will be having a meet up. Sometimes like at FDO Funko will sometimes donate pops and sometimes board members will donate pops to be given out.

That's too bad! I am always too busy to attend at SDCC, but it would have been great to do it in New York!

I just asked if in time would it be a consideration for those unable to attend San Diego. I'll post their answer.

Can you also ask if there will be a ticketed booth? And not the fiasco that happened at SDCC this year.

Thank You.
