Title: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: Angology on April 29, 2016, 08:20:55 AM
Starting this thread for random Funko talk not related to their SDCC presence (or their subscription boxes). There is an old thread out there, but I thought I would start a new one with Off Topic in the title.

For the beginner OOB (out of box) collector-Fugitive toys just announced their damaged box sale that they do from time to time. $100 for 18 Pops. I did it once and got some real gems, and no Pops that were damaged (in fact, most of the boxes were in decent shape). It doesn't sell out as fast as the F-Box used to, but they do go fairly quickly.

https://www.fugitivetoys.com/collections/pre-orders/products/damaged-box-sale-18-pops

If I had room-I would order!

LOL,  I was thinking the same thing. This would be cool... but what would I do with them? Where would I put them?

Put one in your fridge so when your hungry you see him. 

I am not an avid collector and I have a ton of them, space is definitely an issue.  I with the boxes were designed so I could hang them from my ceiling.

I've got a pretty big closet in my office at home and I plan on taking off the doors and building shelves to display all my Funkos.  My collection isn't huge yet (probably 50 or so), but I have a feeling it is going to grow significantly over the years.

Okay, I thought about it and went back... and it's OOS!

See, I guess the universe is telling me something... ;)

The same has happened to me before. And I thought the same exact thing!

It did go pretty fast. You should see how fast the F-Box used to go It was a monthly mystery box with Funko, etc. They had to stop doing it because people sent their employees death threats on social media, etc. when they sold out so fast (just takes a few bad apples to ruin it for everyone). I got a lot of them because I have them on notify on Twitter. I think they were so popular because they often had exclusives, and not necessarily Fugitive Toys exclusives.

I think my collection is at about 250+ DH put up the perfect size shelves in the bedroom and I have them all on display. I keep trying to talk myself into freeing them, but then I would want to save the boxes, and I definitely don't have room for that! I don't know why-I have no plans to sell them, I just follow a lot of fandoms, and they provide a lot of fandoms, so it is the perfect storm!

Who went for the Hot Topic Mystery Pops today? I ordered mine online, so I won't know how many duplicates I got for a few days. :) I have seen people on Facebook that bought multiples and got quite a few duplicates.

I ended up buying 3 at my local Hot Topic and got 2 Stingray and a Slapstick.  My Slapstick has some imperfections on the box which bums me out, but I'm pretty OCD so I'm sure it's not horrible.  I went back after work to talk to an employee and I guess several people bought 15 each right when the store opened.  I'm sure they loaded up on the "heavier" boxes so I probably had no chance when I bought mine.

That was my first exclusive hunt that isn't related to SDCC and I must say I'm hooked!  Good luck and hopefully you get the whole set!

Well, I came to post about a new Amazon exclusive, but it appears that the pre-order is already sold out. Sorry about that-I had to get ready for work.  Anyway, here is the link-I have had good experience with Amazon exclusives becoming available again. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01ECIKHJY/ref=sxl1?qid=1463653892&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

I ordered it from the tablet by my bed after seeing a post on Facebook. I had to get up and get ready for work, and I thought it would be around for at least a couple of hours. If I see it come up again-I will post here!
Nice get on the Freddy Funko-did those sell out? I keep missing the stuff on the Funko site.

Sweet!

In related news, I tried to order the TRU Red Raven when they were up momentarily, but had to do it on my phone and fumbled around, for some reason (I have bought on my phone before-I was just off center today! Temporary tech-amnesia). So-I missed out. DH is going to try going in June 1 to see if he can get one in the store, along with the orange one. I wasn't collecting when the white Raven Pop was available, and I can't afford it at this point (actually-I just refuse to pay that much for one), but I am hoping I can get these two.

Also got my Hot Topic mystery Pops in the mail-three Stingrays and two Slapsticks, and no Madcaps :(
Oh well-I don't think I am going to buy the mystery Pops any more. I did okay with the first set (DC black and white), never got the purple Deadpool with the second. I did okay this time, considering (some got all of one kind! Yikes!). I am just tired of the way they are doing it.

Funko is doing a Periscope now (it's almost over, unfortunately). More TRU exclusive Teen Titans Go Pops (yay!) and more Pops for The Flash TV show (Speedy!). They also showed off some Game of Thrones Dorbz. I have it on mute, but plan to watch it over later.

I have not, but if you plan on taking them out of the boxes then I say go for it.  I'm mainly an OOB collector so I buy beat up boxes all the time.

mainly i am a NIB collector, but i open some things i collect.

one thing with funko stuff, i will never order funko stuff from amazon again. the people who ship my stuff at amazon don't care at all. the last 2 funkos i returned. amazingly i pre-ordered all the OUAT funkos, and received them in mint condition, but never again.

It can be hit or miss, but I find if I order direct from Amazon, I have had better results. When it's another seller, it seems I have had more issues (even when fulfilled by Amazon-I know, it doesn't make sense). However, I now mostly order the exclusives, but I did order some others before. I will probably only do exclusives from now on, since I have no choice there.

If I were to bring extra Funko Mystery minis for trade at our upcoming meetups (not on the list for preview breakfast but will be at the Sunday night dinner), would there be interest?    I have a few extra BVS Wonder Woman minis, a Suicide Squad Boomerang, just to name some off the top of my head.

I will be at the Sunday night dinner and can bring my extras. Are you looking for anything in particular? I think a swap would be fun. They do them at my LCS, but I always seem to miss them.

I love Mystery Minis-they are almost overtaking Pops as far as collecting preference!

Sounds great!  I'm sure others will be interested as well. 

Specifically I'm looking for the BVS Wonder Woman with a sword and shield but will generally trade for anything that catches my eye.   

I know the mystery minis end up being costlier than Pops but I prefer the smaller size and variety of designs and poses.

Pinky and the Brain included!

Also-did anyone try their luck at Hot Topic Horror Mystery Pops? They look pretty cool (and of course there are a flood of doubles sell offs on the FB Funko groups) I may try to get Beetlejuice and Pinhead once the newness wears off.

We have also been hunting the TRU Teen Titans Go Beast Boy and Cyborg from the Justice League mashup. No luck yet. I don't have the best luck with exclusives in our area. Although I did get the sepia Wonder Woman from Wal Mart the other day.

Was browsing the website of the Jean Cocteau Cinema, (George R.R. Martin's theater,) and saw they have a number of GoT pops with the box signed by him.

Jon Snow, Daenerys, Khal Drogo, Brienne, Jaime, Cersei, Arya, Samwell, The Mountain and someone named Tyrion. $20 a pop.

Another hat in the DC box, I'm seriously thinking about starting to cancel them.  They are too male oriented instead of unisex, the shirts are frumpy on women and hats are clunky.

But socks are hidden by your shoes and/or pants! A hat is on display for all to see....

*Jumping out of the thread again now that I've stirred the pot...  >:D *

Then you are wearing the wrong shoes.  Mine almost always show!

They will be giving a bunch of updates today because of London Toy Fair (as AzT mentioned). Brian is calling it "Leakapalooza". Should be some more good stuff today!

He also announced on the Funatics boards that there would be more Scott Pilgrim Pops done, probably through the Funko Shop on funko.com. Yay!!

Yes, that was the bad news in the good news. And hopefully the edition sizes will be decent. I got some great things during the 12 days of Funko, but the one I really wanted, the Christmas Harley Quinn was limited to 150 pieces. What the Heck Funko? Sigh...

So I've completed a set of the GOTG2 pint size heroes and thought that since they're cheaper and take up less space than GOTG Pops or Dorbz, I'm done and can call it a day...

What happens?   I end up buying a Dorbz Rocket and WM exclusive Dorbz Groot.   Still not buying the Pops however, totally drawing the line at that  ;)  (instead I bought the Arcade mystery minis, lol!)

I found the WM exclusive GoTG2 Groot Pop yesterday (and it rang up as $5! Woo hoo!). Oh dear, I didn't know there was a Dorbz...

I do love the Pint Sized heroes. Congrats on completing a set. Did you get very many duplicates? I haven't tried to get too  many of those yet.

I like the Arcade Mystery Minis (although, they aren't as much of a mystery because of the packaging). I bought Centipede, as I spent many quarters (and hours) playing that game in college. It was a favorite of mine. It still is.

Maybe this year I will remember to bring my duplicate Mystery Minis to SDCC to see if anyone wants to trade.

I'll bring duplicate Minis/Pint Size heroes for trading!

I have a few extras of GOTG PSH's because I'm not too good at identifying them by feel like some people are...I think I have extras of Gamora, Ego, one of the 2 Starlords.   

The Walmart exclusive Baby Groot Dorbz has him in the red uni and at his side is a weird badge sort of thing with an eye.

Have the Walgreens GOTG2 PSH Come out yet? I still need the exclusive Groot from that set and then I'll be Baby Groot complete  ;D

Watch out for Dorbz though they get addicting real quick! I initially bought some clearance ones last May because they were so cheap and now I'm closing in on 300 total!

Hey-I started my Dorbz collection with the GoTG1 clearance,too. They were from Barnes & Noble. It was hard to turn down $2 ea! I had to pick up a couple for a little more, but not much.

No, it's not a problem. I was just joking!

Seriously though, do we want to officially organize something? Make an announcement and encourage people to bring theirs?

Well, they dumped Super7 and ReAction and are now trying to directly compete with them. Which kinda sucks.

They always made some other kinds of figures too. Funko made all those Magic the Gathering figures and Firefly figures. The quality was poor on those.

I have the worst luck finding the Twin Peaks Pops that aren't all jacked up. I'm about to just buy them, dented, torn, beaten, and unbox them. ROGUE!!!

Quote
Collectibles marketer Funko has entered into an agreement to acquire licensed fashion accessories company Loungefly, the companies announced.  Loungefly is best known for its licensed handbags; it also makes other fashion accessories, and sells through specialty stores, boutiques, and department stores. Loungefly founder Trevor Schultz noted the ways Funko can expand Loungefly.  "We look forward to working with the innovative Funko team to expand our unique product offering into new channels of distribution and licenses," he said. The acquisition comes only a few months after Funko acquired Underground Toys early this year (see "Funko Acquiring Underground Toys Assets"), broadening its product portfolio once again. Funko is anxious to show it is more than a one trick pony; it’s preparing for an IPO or sale this year (see "Funko Prepping for Possible IPO or Sale").

Trollhunters Pops and plush available on the Funko Shop website. They will be at Target, but I would rather get them straight from Funko.

Ended up with Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Barry Allen and a Parademon.

This happens to me all the time! I have little restraint when it comes to Funko (okay, with most collectibles in my fandoms...) I am still telling myself that I don't collect Dorbz...

Everyone that is a member of Gamestop power rewards, go get your free pop worth up to $9.  Go to www.powerupbonus.com/digitalcode and enter your info and the coupon "Insider".  You'll get a email coupon good at local Gamestop stores.

Most pops are $12 at Gamestop.  Some are on clearance for $9 and many more on clearance for $5.  I don't know if you can apply the $9 coupon to a $12 one and pay the difference.

However, I completely forgot about stopping by Gamestop for the free pop and this despite my receiving an email from them about it.   Also realized that I should have stopped by Disneyland last Friday to score an Abominable Snowman exclusive.

So, who went to the HQ Grand Opening? I wish I could have gone. It probably is a better atmosphere for connecting with other collectors than Fundays. It looks like everyone had a blast (yes, there were some hiccups-are you surprised!)
I couldn't go because it's too close to Dragon Con, and I didn't want to give that up. I hope to go soon. I would love to combine a trip with ECCC, but I am guessing it will be super crowded then also! Some day!

I was there (along with NCDS). We had a blast! Yes, it was definitely easier to connect with other collectors at that event than at FUndays overall. Saw a lot of folks I knew and met a lot of new people. We were extremely lucky to be in the 10am group and thus were able to get all the exclusives (and a couple of random chases to boot!). The store itself is incredible. Pictures and words can't describe the store itself. Magical is the closest word I can think of, but to really understand the feeling of the place you have to go there. I plan to visit again many times!

Updated October 16, 2017: Funko has filed registration paperwork for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of Class A common stock to be traded on the NASDAQ Exchange. Although a share price and the number of shares to be offered has not been announced, the company has reserved the ticker symbol FNKO. For this, Funko has enlisted Goldman Sachs & Co LLC, J.P.

The variety of new pops these days is incredible. Just in the last couple of days there's been a new Hellboy (with missing eye and Excalibur even,) Mr. Bean with an amazing chase, "What's Opera Doc" Bugs Bunny, it's nuts.

Picked up Tom Servo and Crow T Robot and placed them on a shelf in my son's bedroom. I'm betting at least a month before he notices they're there.

I want to take the Mr Bean chase and make a custom Monica Pop from Friends!

There are so many great things coming out, but I am going to have to start getting more choosy. I am running out of space (okay, I am already out of space). There are also Star Wars Dorbz coming out tomorrow (Oct 27). Trying to resist...

Hah, I had forgotten about that Friends episode. I keep telling myself I need to tone it down too, with mixed success :) Trying to go complete on Thor Ragnarok, still trying to get Surtur and the Target exclusives might be tough.  Ordered the PX Hellboy and Lying Cat exclusives from a courtroom no less, while waiting to found out about jury duty.

One nice surprise recently was all of the Bob Ross pops and how positively everyone responded to them, was nice to find that bit of shared nostalgia with people.

I saw those Star Wars Dorbz at the Disney Store over the weekend and am trying to resist especially since I bought wayyyy too many Last  Jedi minis over the past month.   Actually, with all the different store exclusives and the 1/72's and horrible ratios, it would be better and cheaper to focus on Dorbz. 

Also started a Funko Stranger Things collection but I'm trying to be ultra selective about it...so far I only have the 3 pack of action figures with Eleven, Lucas and Mike and a single carded Dustin, a dorbz Eleven and a few of the minis which I don't like the design of so I'll stop getting those.   I'll probably just get Dorbz of Dustin and Steve (if they make one) and call it a day.

Funko is is going to be publicly traded on the NASDAQ (FNKO). The IPO was $12 but it seems like it went down to $7 over the course of the day. I thought about buying some but luckily decided not to. I am interested to see what it does in the long term though.

Post by: brand4d2 on November 07, 2017, 02:05:15 PM
You know Funko has a terrible grip on you when despite your claims of not buying anymore Stranger Things minis because you don't like the designs of them, you come across untouched cases of them at Target and Barnes & Noble and come away with a Hopper, Lucas, Demogorgon with closed face and Eleven with the blond wig.    :P

Also got a Dustin Dorbz from HT.   If they make any version of him with the catcher's mask and goalie gear, I'll definitely get it (watch that be one of 2018's SDCC exclusives)

Funko embracing our old friend queue-it, starts at 7:30AM PST.

Exclusive Dorbz Ridez: Panthro with ThunderTank Wednesday Sale has not yet begun. When the sale begins, you will be assigned a random place in line (alongside everyone else who also arrives before the sale begins). When your turn begins you will have the opportunity to purchase the exclusive product along with other Funko-Shop products. Note that during this wait period Funko-Shop will not be available for purchase of other products.

Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: mark on November 29, 2017, 10:08:47 AM
Ditto, well I wanted the item too. The queue was well done but collapsed pretty quickly, my session stated off saying an estimated 30 minutes until purchase but went down to 5 really fast. It's still available of course. I wonder if they will keep the queue for the next big round of convention exclusives.

Speaking of ultimately easy to get items, I had missed the gamestop preorder window for the Thor Ragnarok Surtur and was obsessively hunting it with no luck. I finally went ahead and bought one without the sticker from Japan, at cost but had to pay more for shipping of course. Then it goes up on thinkgeek and is still available and super easy to get >:( plus now every gamestop near me has it as well.

Nice, and sounds like we were both lucky (and your friend :) ) It looks like people were able to either bypass the queue or go back and buy multiple, not sure which. So even some people with initial queue numbers in the 600s didn't get anything.

No luck here either. Didn't take long for people to figure a way around it. I still believe Funko is trying, but I don't know that this is the solution. Can't believe it's so easy to circumvent the queue. I got all the others I wanted so far, but it will be ebay for me if I want this one.

Amazon had a good sale on various pops a little while ago, grabbed a few and managed to luck into my first chase! I've never even seen one in a store before.

Of course now I'm slightly miffed that Tron isn't a chase too.

Someday i may get a funko pop , but has to be like in way of how i get comics. if i like a cover alot and i debate kinda to myself cause i am indecisive at times which at times i regret cause i have missed chances to have somethings that would have been value to me cause i dont resale on ebay which im sure alot do for any reason. but stuff i got still i can enjoy and read comics and play with toys with my bro and sis kids any later maybe. i just gotta wait till i find the pops for the right price of any i really want. i have different like statues in ways that i value for different reasons. besides other stuff i got and value for variety reasons. so hope someday i do pick up my first funko pop, and even better is if i by chance get one as a gift or free by chance lol.

Amazon treasure truck has an Infinity War 2-pack today with Iron Man & Iron Spider. These are the standard versions available elsewhere but these are $14.99 for the 2. Mainly I'm excited since there is a pick up near me at a place I already had to go to, that's never happened before :)

I know all Barnes & Nobles are different but might be worth stopping by one. The one I stopped by yesterday had a lot of $2 pops. They also had a fair amount of the Prince Robot IV pop, though lacking the sticker (and not at $2 of course.)

lol, I should mention that I did finally get the Gollum, 3 stores couldn't find it which is actually kind of funny now that I think about it.

In computer geekery, borked gets used to describe something that is broken, usually when it was set up or configured incorrectly. Not to be confused with the all to relevant political meaning, "to attack (a candidate or public figure) systematically, especially in the media ...  after Judge Robert H. Bork, whose appointment to the Supreme Court was blocked in 1987 after an extensive media campaign by his opponents "

Marvel Collector Corps "Infinity War" box looks pretty cool.  Apparently there is quite the kerfluffle from folks who can't sign up to subscribe, and the box is only available for folks who are already past subscribers.  I hadn't bought a box in quite a while, but figured I might as well jump on the last one while I could.

Yeah, it seemed that interest kind of peaked right as they were winding it down. The Animal Instinct box sold out. If you were a past subscriber the other older boxes are available for just $15 on the site.

The Animal Instinct box was the best one in a while (DH is a huge Rhino fan, so that might be part of it). I also think that the Black Panther glow chase may have fueled the sales.

I did order the Infinity War box, and the final boxes for LoC and Smuggler's Bounty.

Not sure if others feel this way too but it seems like collecting the mystery minis has been super super super tougher this year, more so than in the past.    I missed out on the initial cases of LOTR at my local Hot Topics and they seemingly never got more in and so I never had a shot at Eowyn or the Witch King.   

It's also a lot more harder to complete sets, especially with so many store exclusives, so many 1/6's and 1/72's...I gave up on completing the Last Jedi set because of that.    And although I have a Game Stop just 3 blocks from where I live, that hasn't helped out with Funko collecting all that much since their stock is horrible both for Pops and minis.

I strongly feel this way about Target's Funko exclusives, especially the new 10 inch Funko Pops, since they're hella hard to get. I've been watching Brickseek at work to track inventory and most, if not all, Target stores in the Bay Area are sold out of the Thanos or Porg 10 inch pop.

As for Gamestop, I'm lucky enough that the Gamestop in Downtown SF has a ThinkGeek shop in the basement where they have a whole wall of just Funkos. It's great for collectors but dangerous for my wallet :P

Target's inventory system never seems to be right for hard to find pops, I've basically given up on them. And it looks like the online release sold out fast, both links now go to a "product not found" page. At SVCC there were some people carrying around 10'' Thanos trying to unload it and maybe this is a sour grapes thing for me, but I didn't really like it that much. I will probably wait and go for the Hot Topic (behatted) Thanos in a chair.

I have lerand but mite be wrong, is that any funko related to popular movies are gonna sell out cause fans or flippers will buy all they can and just resale for higher price later after or before movies are cause the movie wil make people want stuff more and so keep flipers busy before and after movies are out i guessing. so i go for any at resonable price that i want most if at all. i wont pay the crazy so to speak hi prices lol. i by chance saw some at 99 cent store for like 2 bucks and was wow. i have so much but have learned as almost everyone has that all we have is just material lol. so keep what u need and grab what u crave most lol.

I've been trying this mental trick lately, before I try to buy or go to find something I imagine I'm at a store and there are hundreds of them sitting right there on the shelf. The question is do I still buy one? If yes then watch out, but quite often my gut reaction is nah. It's easy for me to get caught up in the competitive part of it, especially for exclusives.

Anyways, when I made a turn down the aisle I actually found the 10inch Porg in all of its chubby glory sitting on the shelf in the Star Wars toy section and I HAD to buy it right away! I definitely lucked out on this find since the Downtown SF Target doesn't sell Funkos and Brickseek said it was sold out in this store. Now I'm the happy owner of a 10inch Porg!

Also on a side note, my wallet is hating me right now since I went on a shopping spree on Ebay and I picked up a bunch of vaulted Game of Thrones Funkos for a good price.

Porg success, congrats!

I'm guessing Wall-E releases sometime in the next 90 minutes?

I picked one of those up, and the Infinity War Exclusive. I am glad that I stayed up for the drop. I am pretty confident they will restock, but now I don't have to keep checking!

Since the first trailer for Making Fun - The Story of Funko was released, Funko Funatics have had just one question: How can I watch this?!

We are proud to announce that Making Fun - The Story of Funko will be available on Netflix soon! Stay tuned for more information about the official release for the documentary!

We are also excited to share that Making Fun - The Story of Funko was shown at the 2018 San Diego Film Awards and won Best Documentary Feature Film! We are extremely proud of the film as both a testament to the vibrant Funatic community and power of pop culture's ability to bring people together.

So lately I've been on an Ebay binge buying GoT Pops since most of the ones I've yet to collect are vaulted which got me thinking, how much are you willing to spend on a Funko Pop?

For ones that are currently still in production/relevant, I only pay the retail price but for vaulted ones, the max I'd go is $30.

Do you guys set yourself a max amount for Funkos?
Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: cabler30 on April 18, 2018, 10:44:06 AM
I dont collect , but guessing depending on who the characters is or if limited and etc. they can be pretty pricing if get from flippers and stores unless the store has them on sale to make room for something new or anything else. i may get any someday if i see any i want alot.
Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: mark on April 18, 2018, 11:42:36 AM
I try to avoid supporting flippers as much as possible, but I will sometimes buy a convention exclusive if the markup is reasonable. Likewise I will go up to 2x retail for a chase, I have never ever seen a chase in a store.

For store shopping, I try to wait on easy to find ones until they go on sale or there's some other sort of discount. I figure my cheapness here makes up for occasional excesses elsewhere.
Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: cabler30 on April 18, 2018, 04:59:18 PM
I guess if u know the value of all or certain funko pops then can compare flipper prices. i dont check ebay alot but do at random times just for the fun of it. im guessing some flippers dont charge alot but when u add shipping and all i can see it can be more then u expect sometimes. also if gotta worry about traffic taking package from doorstep then that another reason i just get what i can at store as cheap as possible. so unless u can have stuff sent to a place so u can go get later then alot is debatable.
Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: NCDS on April 18, 2018, 08:46:07 PM
I pay retail.  If I missed it I don't need it!
Title: Re: Funko Off Topic Chat
Post by: brand4d2 on April 18, 2018, 09:29:53 PM
The max I'm willing to pay is retail as well.   

Or to put it another way, according to Pop Price Guide, my top 3 most valuable Funko items in my collection are worth $100 a piece (All MLPFIM if you must know, Vinyl Luna, Vinyl Twilight Sparkle and mini Rainbow Dash) but there's no way I would pay that much to have them.   

With Funko, missing out on something isn't that big of a deal because there will just be something else that you'll be interested and be looking to obtain.   I missed out on the SDCC Stranger Things Steve pop last year but that's okay because I got his mini a few months back and there's another version of him coming in pop form soon.   If the franchise and character are popular enough, there will be different versions made eventually.

Yea, i have learned to be that way for almost anything kinda. u see stuff u think u need cause of traffic shows or brag got, but really i just be happy i get what i can because some people dont have alot so i happy i get what i can at time cause if u never happy of what u get then u will always think what u have is never enough lol.

Stopped by a Hot Topic and they had a bunch of the Thanos in a throne pops, a ton of the new Harley Quinn exclusive too. If you care about the box, the Thanos has a little cardboard cutout of the fig on one side and top of the throne sticks out a bit and tends to get bent, something to look out for.

The collectors corps infinity war box arrived today too, about twice the size of the previous boxes. Here's a very poor quality pic of the contents (spoilers)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

In store pickup is a good option to defeat potential porch pirates - and less than fragile handling during shipping - especially for collector's items.

Yes, and i know how it convenient for some or many to just order and have it shipped sometimes. i know the news has a job to warn the public about that kinda thing with stuff being stolen by chance and it not everywhere, but never know so it just makes u aware and to be sure if u waiting for anything be home or have a place u know it be safe to it to pick up later.

Nope! Someone leaked out Gamestop's upcoming Funko releases and this was one of them. They're just the normal Gamestop exclusive that anybody can get (assuming flippers don't buy out all the inventory).

OK, thanks for the explanations Since I'm not a big exclusives person in general, I was confused...

Heck, I got confused the moment 'exclusives' were no longer exclusive and could be purchased anywhere. And I still don't get the 'limited quantities' thing as a business tactic...  Ugh. Confused again...

Stopped by a San Jose target on the way home from work yesterday, was the weirdest thing. They must have had a dozen each of the 10'' trex and Scrooge McDuck, and even a couple 10'' Dobbys.  Granted, most of the boxes looked like they had gotten to the store being dragged behind the truck but still, I hardly ever see any interesting Target exclusives around here.

We found a Dobby the other day, but have yet to see the T-Rex. I follow some Austin Funko collectors, so the market here is pretty competitive.

Has anyone had any luck finding a Pikachu POP from Target?  I am now getting serious about collecting POPs and foolishly thought that since it was Target I could buy one eventually.  I have struck out left and right.  Having said that, trips to Target feel like treasure hunts now.  hahaha ...

Some people have better luck with Target than I do, but I cringe every time I see an Target exclusive that I like. To begin with there are lots of hunters where I live and it's really competitive, especially for things like Pikachu where a store just gets a few. The inventory system they have is awful and frequently says that stores have stock when they don't, and sometimes things just seem to never make it out on the floor.

I would ask at the store, I have heard that some have started keeping them at places like guest services. Most of the people I know that had luck with Pikachu got it when it went online a while back. Supposedly they will do another online drop but who knows.

Despite all of my negativity, I hope you have good luck! :)

Thanks for the info, mark.  Just once I would like my little POP hunts to end up with an actual Exclusive POP.  I called Target and talked to a store manager about the system and my takeaway is that it’s a total crap shoot.  Still the hunters I am meeting so far have been cool and really helpful.

On another note, how do you guys display your POPs?  Eventually, I want to be able to store them in a POP case and line them up on a shelf around my Art room but I am worried they will fall off.  I have seen people using baseball bat cases but I don’t think you can store POPs in their box in those.

Stay hopeful :) These days I still see a good number of the 10'' Scrooge McDuck, T-rex and Dobby exclusives, also the 8-bit Stranger Things.

You can use the Michael's baseball bat cases with boxes if you go vertical, here's a random reddit example.

https://www.reddit.com/r/funkopop/comments/7b1goy/first_try_of_the_michaels_baseball_bat_cases/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/funkopop/comments/7b1goy/first_try_of_the_michaels_baseball_bat_cases/)

Reddit and the Funko Funatics forum are good place to see photos of people's displays. I've yet to grab some of the bat boxes when they are on sale but I'll get some eventually, for now I just have some on random shelves and such. I'm in the middle of redoing my cave to a Star Wars theme, I'll post photos when I (eventually) finish.

I use museum putty for figures, but haven't tried it on boxes.

You needed to purchase a special ticket to get the Funko. It was funny because after I picked mine up in the stadium, there were 2-3 guys there asking me to sell/trade. One guy had brought a huge bag of Funkos to trade. Brought back memories of getting a Conan pop at SDCC.

Not yet, the amazon page for the regular pops say 8/25 release date and hopefully the 2 exclusives show up around the same time too. I still think the chocolate factory one should have been a 2 pack with Ethel dangit.

I met @dolphina at Box Lunch this morning! We got there about 6:30am and had such a nice visit with Brian too (Hi!) . We bought the exclusive Deadpool Pez (LE 1000) and gold Starlord (also LE, but was there more than 1000?). We all got to spin the wheel to win something. I won this King Deadpool proto that I had Mike (surprise! He shows up!) and Brian sign. Mike walked the line of people waiting to spin the wheel and gave autographs and photos. Super great guy! He was tickled to see my Taco Grande shirt. He said it was one of the very first shirts he made. I told him I wore it into my local taco shop and they thought I was cheating on them with another taco shop. Haha he loved that story.
After we got our autographs by the guys, I was asked to do an interview. So I grabbed @dolphinia (she was being miss social butterfly, as usual!) and we had fun. When they announced the name of the person that won the 6ft Deadpool PEZ, they had already left!!! Then they announced the next pick, they totally mispronounced my name. How embarrassing for them.
Gina and I parted ways and she headed to Disneyland to grab the Splash Pop released today. I'm STILL hunting down I Love Lucy. Grrr!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180825/f2912ab386253cd32672f608fdd657ca.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180825/6dda31b4095bef5b89e8569d26555c48.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180825/91a8e7ad66acd19962486f200438221b.jpg)

I stayed up late last night got Cap'N Crunch pop in cart and it sold out before I could check out.

So I wake up this morning and it says the Target across the street has them. I go they can't find them, but says to check back stock says 12. (Target employees are known for hiding there)

I then see the app says they are at the other store nearby, I decide to call. I call and it's really the one further away but the app puts them together. He gives me the number to that one. As I 'm calling the other one, my leg tingles, I go to scratch, What The ***** there is something in there, I feel the sting as I am throwing my skinny jeans off in the kitchen, it's a bee. I stomp on it, the guy answers and he just sold the last one.

I was literally attacked by a bee trying to get Cap'n Crunch.

So I wake up this morning and it says the Target across the street has them. I go they can't find them, but says to check back stock says 12. (Target employees are known for hiding there)

Don’t say that on Reddit!  ;)

I then see the app says they are at the other store nearby,


While I have just recently been serious about POPS (I first purchased one in 2012) I have given up on using Brickseek.  Every time I have used I have struck out.  Popfindr has been amazing though.

I was using the Target app.  Thre employees searched today and they can't find them but agree the system says they are there.

I would go for Capt'n Crunch all day long over Twinkie. Even if it's a Chase. Sometimes it's more important to go with what you love vs the more rare Pop. Sugar Bear...never. I hated that cereal. And Twinkies are gross.

I want that Target Cap'n Crunch, too. I have all of the others (except the cosmic one, but I can live without it) I have been a little more relaxed about the hunt lately. I have done well with the Funko Shop drops (except Cosmic Cap'n-I think I was on a plane). We go to Target and always look, but don't get up early and stand in line. I have been so busy with work, the hunt has really taken a back seat.

I did notice that Wal-Mart seems to be phasing out of the Pop game. They have the Harry Potter Five Stars, but they don't really have a Pop section anymore. Anyone else seeing the same?

Maybe they will just be focusing on exclusives. I never did see the Ant-Man and The Wasp exclusive though. I have had really bad luck with their shipping, too. :(

How cute, Kass thought he could just go to a Game Stop and pick up an exclusive Pop.

We ended up finding it.

Went to Walmart. They had two Starlord exclusives (damaged boxes) and that's it. Guess they are getting out of the Pop business.

I wish we had those near us. Though I have been doing some amazon add-on buys which aren't too much more.

Still in the long, slow process of converting the cave to a Star Wars theme. But this I'm happy with. Maybe a few more porgs ...

https://toyworldmag.co.uk/world-news/walmart-kicks-off-dedicated-geek-collectibles-section-with-exclusive-thanos-funko-pops/ (bold = mine)

Quote
The retailer has announced that it will be creating a new dedicated collectibles section in more than 3,500 of its stores. The new initiative will start this week. This space will feature new and exclusive products from Funko, McFarlane Toys and CultureFly, but it will also be the exclusive brick and mortar home of Loot Crate.

Brent Duwe, senior buying manager, Walmart US, commented: “Pop culture fans are passionate about their fandoms and look for ways to incorporate it into all aspects of their life. We’re introducing a new assortment to serve fans in a way we haven’t before. Our new collectibles section will be a destination for our customers to find exclusive merchandise at the best prices for all fandoms, with more to come.”

Fans of Funko will also have a brand new exclusive to hunt for, as in October Walmart will have an exclusive chrome Thanos that will come in six different colours, representing the powerful Infinity Stones.

Brian Mariotti, Funko chief executive officer, commented: “We’re thrilled that Funko products will be joining the brand new collectibles section at Walmart stores across the country. Collectibles is a brilliant addition to the merchandise display as is evident by the millions of people that shop pop culture favourites. We are eager to showcase Funko’s vast assortment of Pop! products in this new area and continue bringing joy to Walmart customers.”

So the question is since you didn't particularly want it did you leave it or buy it.

I totally bought it, might be the only wild chase I ever see :) I guess to phrase it better, it isn't something I was looking for but I am happy to have found it if that makes any sense. One of my next cave themes will be Marvel, so it'll go on display. Have to decide if I try to pick up the Killmonger chase to go with it. (I also guess it isn't technically the first one I've gotten, I did get a chase through an online purchase once but this was the first time I actually saw one sitting on a shelf.)

Speaking of Black Panther pops, had another odd thing happen. I had ordered the Okoye exclusive from amazon, it arrived packed in a way too large box, without any packing material whatsoever, and somehow the box was in perfect condition. Weird.

I did the same thing with A Box Lunch limited exclusive.  I was so happy to snag one that I didn’t think about whether or not I really wanted that specific Chase or if I really wanted to succeed with just an order getting through.  Lol

I was just about ready to leave work and a coworker asked if he could take out my Munsters car and Pops out of the box to play with them! I said no. He said "I'll tape up the boxes when I'm done". I wanted to scoop up everything on my desk but instead I firmly told him not to touch anything and pointed out the camera right above my desk that can see who has been screwing with my stuff. So far, so good! Has anyone else had dopes like this at work?

Yikes, I haven't had problems at my current job. I think it helps that there are a fair number of collectors in the same building I am. I have had situations where some of my books would mysteriously disappear. Was not happy about that.

He wants to play with them? I am all for adults catering to their inner child-but do it with your own stuff (like I do, lol)! How long have they been on your desk? Did it occur to him that there was a reason they were displayed in the box?
I can't have anything valuable here at work-it would certainly walk off. My friend has had loose hot wheels disappear. Imagine what would happen with a carded one.

I had a dream there was a video game chase on the shelf and I left it.  So I haven't seen one in the wild yet but I am confident if it is video game related I won't buy it.

He's a guy I actually worry about. Not that he will open boxes, but go postal. He hates his job but he's too lazy to find another. He has a journal and keeps writing over and over "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"!!!! (Shining anyone?!!) I even told the Onions if there's a shooting at work, it's this guy. When he gets angry, he breaks his pen and smears ink all over the desk or scratches it. We just got new really nice desks a year ago and he's already ruined 3.
I rotate my stuff, but my desk has been festive forever. He just moved next to me Oct 10. I quickly informed him no touchie. So far, so good. If he touches anything, we just have to look at the tape. The camera is pointing at my desk (so much for picking my nose or adjusting my stockings). Ha

Anyone go to the event last night hosted by Funmaker Mike Becker (Funko's founder) at the Comic-Con Museum?  I was on babysitting duty but my wife went with some of her friends and got some pretty cool swag: posters and tshirt from the event (Monster Mask-O-Raid - it was a fundraiser for an education organization that centered around Mike's love of Monsters & showcased Mike's personal collection of vintage Halloween costumes) as well as a Disneyland Hatbox Ghost prototype.  Sounded like a fun event, and wondering if any other locals were there.  Funmaker Mike is a San Diego resident nowadays, and it sounds like last night was fun.

I wanted to go but it was a bit late for me.  I would have had to take off at 8pm at the latest which would have meant I would have missed most of it.  Hopefully he'll have other events.

In order to widen the audience awareness of Funko Shop Exclusives, we will begin the process of posting launch information to our Funko social channels and blog.

Any ornithologist worth her salt will tell you that Fwoopers don’t necessarily make the best house
pets for muggles. For one thing, the Fwooper’s song will drive anyone who hears it insane, requiring domesticated Fwoopers to be subjected to a monthly silencing charm. But if you happen to have a witch or wizard in the family and happen to be in the market for a stunningly-colored companion bird with magical origins, Funko Shop's limited edition Fwooper might just be the pet for you. And imagine the Instagram followers! This undeniably fantastic creature from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the perfect addition to any aviary.

Pop! Movies: Fantastic Beasts – Fwooper $15.00 each - Limit 1 of each

My New Years resolution is to buy less!  LOL, trying to stick to conventions if I win, Fundays (or other events).  Occasional shop items but even those are dangerous since they come out every week.  I love them but I have run out of room to collect at my current rate.

Still on board to help people when they need it!  I mostly get requests by our members in Canada.  It's cheaper for me to go to Walmart and ship a large package then for them to try an order one by one as they come in stock.

The last POP I bought was a month and a half ago - Dustin in hockey gear (Stranger Things) on sale at HT for $7.   


Lately I’ve been imposing strict criteria for purchases...Hockey Dustin is something we probably won’t get in any other form so that’s “okay” for me to get.   All those Captain Marvel movie POPs coming out, I’ll likely pass on them all as I’ve already got the Dorbz bundle (had to get the Chewie!  Don’t care that she is renamed Goose for the movie) and some of the Marvel Legends.

Funko are returning to London Toy Fair in 2019 with a host of new and exciting licenses to share with pop culture fans and collectors. Not only will they be bringing their much loved, instantly recognisable Pop! Vinyl range, they’ll be sharing some of the newest additions to their Gifting & Homewares line, as well as showing their Loungefly range of bags, wallets and purses. Covering licenses from Disney, to Fortnite, Rick & Morty, Stranger Things, Marvel and DC – Funko leave no stone unturned when it comes to the pop culture landscape.

Not only will Funko be bringing along their newest and most exciting Pop! Vinyl figures from the most popular licenses around – Marvel, Disney, Fortnite, Rick & Morty and Star Wars to name just a few – they’ll also be showing a host of their other figure lines. One of their newest lines, 5 Star, features iconic characters from key licenses such as Harry Potter, including an articulated, posable character and a selection of accessories to further the characters narrative. Some of the latest additions to the range include characters from the game Fortnite – a huge license for Funko that has taken the EMEA market by storm, as well as Fantastic Beasts and products from upcoming Marvel releases. They’ll also be bringing along their much-loved pocket money products; from Mystery Mini’s to Pint Size Heroes and Pocket Pop! Keychains.

The Gifting and Homewares range reflects a range of popular and up and coming licenses, with plenty of available products to suit all tastes. The ideal gift for the older pop culture fans, they’re a great way to bring a spruce of fun into the kitchen and home! Funko will be showcasing several of their hottest lines, including their Disney Retro line celebrating Mickey Mouse’s 90thbirthday, as well as their outrageous Rick & Morty range. If you’re a big fan of the worlds most famous mouse, you’ll love the Disney Retro line, featuring vintage designs with classic Mickey illustrations and vibrant red and cream colour schemes; choose from mugs, mason jars, chopping boards, aprons, kitchen storage tins and more. The Rick & Morty line is cheeky and humorous, with plenty of hilarious references from the show that fans will be bound to appreciate. Pickle Rick lovers can enjoy a Pickle Rick Bottle Opener and a Pickle Rick Banana Guard, or get your hands on a Mr. Meeseeks mug or Rick & Morty Egg Cups. With plenty more hot licenses to join the fold, the Gifting & Homewares line is one to keep your eye on.

Finally, Funko will be displaying a selection of their Loungefly products. This recent acquisition includes apparel items such as bags, purses, and accessories, and covers a broad range of licenses including Marvel, Overwatch, Doctor Who, Disney and Star Wars. Fans of classic Disney will love the Mickey and Minnie bags, featuring the iconic mouse ears and subtle detail, whilst still maintaining a classic and subtle design. The high-end quality and distinctive designs make this line a must-see for visitors.

A movie based on the popular Funko figurines may be in the works from Warner Bros., according to a new report.

The report comes from writer and frequent leaker DanielRPK, who tweeted an image on Twitter that indicates a Funko movie is in development. The picture is of a board. In the top left corner is a sheet bearing the Funko logo. According to a later tweet, the dates at the top of the board are indicative of when production on the various projects will begin. As such, the Funko movie would, if this board is correct, go into production sometime this year.

So I've an opportunity to head over to Funko HQ in WA state next month, as I'm out in Seattle for a conference.  For folks that have been, what's it like?  I plan on looking at many things Marvel and Star Wars related.  Does the store carry store exclusives?  Also I've heard that it's better to go during the week as the weekends get nutso.  Any thoughts of your experiences there would be greatly appreciated!

It's a decent size store but small enough you can go through everything in an hour or two depending on how much you care.  I am not 100% sure on the store exclusives.  I know they sell the items they put on website in the store also.  Those would be put out the same day they go on sale on the pop-up shop.  They also put chases out and I think the local flippers line up every morning to get those.

The store is a fun store, and something of a pilgrimage for Funatics, but it is just a store. There are all kinds of cool displays and character to it. I believe that they do have exclusives, but you'd have to get a collector to tell you more about that aspect of it.

As a non-collector, I enjoyed my visit to the store, but I'm not sure I'd make the effort to get up there again (it's not convenient unless you have a car available to you) without some other event going on. It's definitely worth one trip though, if getting there isn't too difficult. And if you're a Funatic/collector, it's a must-do!

Thanks [member=1817]Violet[/member]. Yes I've been several times twice this past January.

As a funatic you can easily spend 1-2 hours admiring all the merchandise, the design of the store and hunting for the hidden Freddy crowns.

As store exclusives there are several located behind the register area that show up as “sold out” through their Online store. Also scattered throughout HQ are different convention and store exclusives that may have sold out elsewhere.

If you plan to buy lots of pops either bring your own pop protectors or go to the Build Your Own Pop area and purchase individual pop sorters (the cardboard boxes made to fit one pop) for $0.40 each.

Lastly, weekends are pretty hectic but totally manageable. Weekdays have much less traffic. This should only make a difference to you if you're a Chase hunter or if you want to take unobstructed pics with the giant figures throughout the store.

Enjoy!

Yeah I plan on going during one of the weekdays I'm out there.  Depending on what Marvel Pops I find I might have to ship them back home.  Looking forward to it!  Thanks for the info!

I was lucky enough to be able to get out to Funko HQ last Friday.  And by lucky I mean that if you were following the news, Seattle and the surrounding areas got hit by a massive (for them) amount of snow, the most in decades in the span of a few days!  But, it finally cleared out enough to take a bus + walk to the store.

For those that have a chance I highly recommend it.  They've everything there and all the representations of fandom are on their large and colorful display.  I took a few pics that are at the link below.  Really cool place for the general fan, as well as fanatics, if you can get there.  If I wind up heading out there again for work I'm definitely making this part of my trip.

I am pretty sure these are the ones that were suppose to be sold at SDCC 2018, Looks like Funko has decided not to sell them at all.  kudos to Funko.

Also he raised the price, first round he sold for $15, now they are $24.95.  He is not the only one doing this but it kills me they are marking them up so much.  But easy resolution for me, I made a rule I won't pay over $15 for any regular sized pop.

They have store exclusives, or at least they did when I went last year (i.e. Seattle Freddy Pop, Robot Freddy Pop, Rain City Freddy Vinyl). These don't really have a high secondary market, but they aren't available on the Funko Shop website.

Additionally they had a couple of ECCC-related store exclusives last year which were different color variations of Baseball Freddy, Bigfoot, and Pulpo. Of those, the Bigfoot is the only one that is still currently in demand.

One of the coolest parts about the store IMO is the make your own Freddy or Monster section for $15. They have a bunch of pieces you can put together and you also get an official Funko Pop box.

I take consolation in the fact that getting up there is a chore, especially during rush hour.

Well that wasn't a fun(ko) experience. Called Baskin Robbins and they said Steve was $12.99. I get there and she said "oh it's $24.99". I said you've already quoted $12.99. the owner said sorry, it's been a big mess and some shops are charging $33.99 and $44.99". I said it's retail price is $12.99 so it's only a big mess because you are choosing to hike up the price. I went to my car, fumed a bit, asked friends for advice and then marched back into the shop and said bait and switch is illegal, I would like to be refunded to the price I was quoted.". He said ok and refunded me. Why didn't he just do that at the beginning. I heard some shops selling stickers and magnets for $10.99! I never saw a shirt, but on Twitter, someone had a receipt for a shirt.

That's so good you did that!! I'm glad he did the right thing. We ended up paying $19.99 for ours. I had heard of all the crazy prices people were paying so I was expecting that our local shop would increase their prices, but we weren't willing to go much higher than $20. When we googled what time our Baskin-Robbins opened it said 11am -- we headed over early and they actually opened at 10am. But they still had some and even as of yesterday, they still had 1 in stock (one of my kids works at the store next door to them so she popped in and looked).

Thanks for sharing this great review!! I have been looking for someone who could explain the special abilities that I heard about.

The special abilities are different for every character. Here is an example of Harry Potter (the character I played in the demo).

(https://i.imgur.com/hNWJ4qz.jpg)

You can see that Harry has 3 regular abilities (which can be performed on any turn). The yellow and blue symbols identify the resource used to perform that ability, while the number indicates the rounds of cooldown before those abilities are used again. The big ability on the bottom indicates a super-special ability that does not cost a resource, but can be used only in special circumstance. In Harry's case, this ability allows him to gain extra defense when he is knocked down. In Voldemort's case, it was to instantly come back from the dead.

They are definitely targeting collectors with this. Pop! collectors will want the 3" figures from all of the sets, while board game collectors will want the different scenarios and characters to mix and match their games.

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros has optioned rights to Funko, and Warner Animation Group will develop and produce a film based on the distinctive collectors figures.

For close to 20 years, Warner Bros and Funko have partnered on licensed collectibles from beloved franchises including Batman and Harry Potter. Taking an option on motion picture rights, Warner Bros moves its Funko relationship to a new level.

Allison Abbate, Executive VP of Warner Animation Group, will manage the partnership on behalf of the studio. Warner Animation Group’s upcoming releases include Space Jam 2, Scoob and Tom & Jerry.

Abbate said the studio is excited to bring the characters to life on movie screens. “Their fresh take on pop culture make these figurines incredibly appealing to fans of all ages,” she said.

Warner Animation Group has Oscar-nominated director and designer Teddy Newton crafting the storyline, and Disney Animation veteran director Mark Dindal.

Said Funko CEO Brian Mariotti: “We’re thrilled for this opportunity and are committed to make an amazing Funko movie that stands on its own merit. This isn’t about selling toys or building a brand. The team at Warner Animation Group have a unique vision of what the first film should be and we are extremely excited to take this journey alongside them.”

So, that bundle is still available, and when reading over the description, it has the following:
Quote
**PLEASE NOTE** We cannot guarantee that we will have replacement pieces or replacement boxes available for each item.
What does that mean w/respect to the merchandise?  That it could be damaged?  Why would I buy something that has a chance of arriving damaged? Or am I missing something?

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. ("Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture consumer products company, today announced that due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 crisis, it is taking the following actions to enhance its financial flexibility:

Beginning on April 5th, Funko will furlough a significant portion of its employees. Affected employees will maintain their health benefits, and subject to local regulations, will also be able to access unemployment benefits;
Implementing salary reductions across the executive team as well as members of upper level management;
Executing reductions in operating expenses and non-product development capital expenditures; and
Proactively managing working capital, including reducing incoming inventory to align with anticipated sales.

In addition to these actions, Funko is evaluating further options to increase flexibility and retain liquidity. Since December 31, 2019, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings on its $75 million revolving credit facility and subsequently drew down approximately $29 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company expects to have over $50 million of cash on hand and $46 million of availability on its revolving credit facility.

“During this uncertain and unprecedented time, it is essential we take actions to best position Funko for our employees, partners and shareholders,” stated Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer. “We are making difficult decisions that we believe will put us in a position of strength to navigate this crisis and support the long-term health of our Company.”

This wasn't a shock, they were in the local news last week, drawing attention to the fact they where still running their warehouse even though they were not essential. 

 https://www.kuow.org/stories/what-the-funko-a-toy-company-a-boat-yard-and-house-cleaners-say-they-are-essential


Also, I heard their warehouse staff was posting pictures on their own social media of them in hospital beds after getting the virus at work. 


With the recent losses, they reported this is going hit them hard.

Funko layoffs will cost about 250 jobs at Everett-based pop culture marketer

Funko, the Everett-based designer and marketer of pop culture figurines, will cut a quarter of its global workforce, laying off about 250 people as it copes with the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company said in a brief regulatory filing late Wednesday it expects “a majority of the workforce reduction” will take place by the end of June, and the rest by the end of the third quarter, meaning September.

Funko CEO Brian Mariotti told shareholders during a virtual annual meeting May 27 that in response to the pandemic, the company initially “closed all of our corporate offices and our 2 flagship retail stores,” and added safety precautions at its distribution centers. It also has “accelerated the expansion of Funko’s e-commerce platform,” he said.

The company said in April it was furloughing a “significant portion” of its employees, and that top management would take a 20% pay cut through the end of June.

According to its year-end filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Funko had 744 employees in the United States, with another 252 in Europe and 10 in Asia.

In 2017 the company opened an elaborate flagship retail store in Everett, as part of a new strategy to sell its products directly as well as through other merchants. It licenses and sells a range of “vinyl figures, action toys, plush, apparel, housewares and accessories” drawn from pop culture hits ranging from Spider-Man and Batman to Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Funko said it expects about $1 million in charges related to the job cuts. The company could not immediately be reached for comment on the location of the job cuts or the status of its stores.

Funko suffered a dramatic sales decline and made the first workforce reduction in the company’s history in Q2, the company said in its Q2 earnings report and accompanying conference call. Sales were down 49% worldwide, with U.S. sales down 36% and international sales (mostly Europe) down 71%. The declines were attributed primarily to store closures in the specialty retail channel.  At the end of Q2, the company estimated that 40 to 50 percent of the stores selling its products in the U.S. were still shut down.

The Company anticipates that effects from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently expects net sales on a percentage basis to be down 10% to 8% compared to prior year, which includes approximately eight percentage points of pressure due to new pandemic-related closures and restrictions in the European region.

The Funko Batman Day sale had a long wait.  The queue times became longer as Twitter reports of people skipping the queue. On phone, as I cycled back and forth from Twitter to the Funko tab, the tab saw it as a refresh and queue time would restart.

Was able to get Batman Beyond Sodas at 35 minutes (now Sold Out) and Crouching Batman Beyond (Still available).

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNKO) (“Funko” or “the Company”), a leading pop culture lifestyle brand, today announced that it will participate in a virtual fireside chat at the Jefferies Consumer Conference. The webcast will be available at 8:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, June 20, 2022 on the investor relations section of the Funko website at https://investor.funko.com.

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. (“Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture lifestyle brand, today announced it has acquired Mondo, a high-end pop culture company that creates vinyl records, posters, soundtracks, toys, apparel, books, games and other collectibles.

Mondo was founded in 2001 by Rob Jones and Tim League and was a subsidiary of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema prior to the acquisition by Funko.

“Mondo’s devoted fan base and high-end pop culture collectibles make it the perfect complement to Funko’s current portfolio of brands. By leveraging our international distribution and licensing network, we feel well-positioned to expedite the growth of the Mondo brand,” said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Perlmutter. “It’s an exciting opportunity to couple Mondo’s already stellar product assortment and aesthetic with Funko’s massive property library.”

Based in Austin, Texas, Mondo is best known for its limited-edition vinyl records and screen-printed posters, which focus on bringing art back to music and cinema through collaborations with acclaimed artists.

Funko continues to invest in its strategic growth initiatives of maximizing the core business, diversifying the revenue base, growing its Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel, and extending its reach into international markets.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the Company does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on its financial performance in 2022.

Mondo's record business had grown to include distribution of other independent soundtrack labels. I wonder if that all ends too.

Funko's CFO clarified details about the recent layoffs at Mondo, revealing that the business' poster runs would continue and expand its print numbers with a broader scope.

Mondo tweeted out a letter from Funko CEO Brian Mariotti, explaining the plans for the company. Namely, Mariotti wanted to clear up some "misinformation" about the Mondo layoffs and the company's future. He began by revealing that Funko had not laid off most of Mondo's staff, stating that employees with the poster makers only accounted for about 10% of the firings. Then, he addressed the claims that the poster side of the business had been axed. "The Mondo posters will continue, period," he stated, "We feel that making extremely limited runs of posters, most of which are 150 pieces or under, limits access to fans unfairly. Many of these posters are bought with the sole purpose of flipping them at a much higher cost to fans that really want them."

“We feel that making extremely limited runs of posters, most of which are 150 pieces or under, limits access to fans unfairly,” seems a little misleading. There were plenty of timed posters that were only limited to how many they could sell over several days. Nobody was left out. Mondo movie posters were pieces of art which were screen printed and genuinely special. This tweet sounds like they’re going to mass-produce posters of sports figures, tv shows, etc and slap the Mondo name on them. While the announcement of the record pressing plant is intriguing, I’d love to hear a take from a Mondo employee rather than only from the head of Funko.

Yeah, this feels like a "Funko boss trying to put out all the fires" type of PR thing.  Not only is it 'misleading' (or, as others have deemed what you quoted above, "flat-out lies/embellishments"), but it feels a little tone-def and at best wildly idealistic/optimistic.  They _fired_ the founders of Mondo as part of these lay-offs, and many Mondo artists have publicly stated they won't work w/Funko because of that.  Plus, I only have very limited experience with screen printing, but it is indeed a VERY fine art and incredibly hard to scale up.  I saw a detailed thread on Twitter yesterday that talked about the difficulties of mass-produced screen printing and how this press release is maybe fantasy at best, intentionally misleading at worst.

Then of course there are the confounding, dubious bits of info in this press release:
* they're going to open a huge printing facilities in San Diego (as someone who just sold a condo/bought a house in the last month I can 100% tell you our housing prices are indeed insane)?  This is the same company where just recently they had to talk about throwing away millions of dollars worth of pops in the AZ desert?  And it's known they've been losing money? And stock holders are gonna be hyped for this?!?!
* they talk about being able to procure & invest in order to land big IP licenses, but Mondo has produced stuff from Star Wars, Jurassic Park, ET, Marvel, DC, etc. just fine on their own: meaning, Mondo never seemed to have a big problem producing products of high-value IP.

Here's a great tweet thread that is (hyper) critical of Funko's press release, but goes into some well-informed details on why screen-printing posters is an incredibly difficult process to perfect at high quality & high volume: https://twitter.com/tinymediaempire/status/1641657747996397569?s=20  (https://twitter.com/tinymediaempire/status/1641657747996397569?s=20)

I love Mondo stuff, but I'm not a huge collector: I don't have a plethora of wall space (oh: I do now in a house!), and I almost always missed out on the super-quick lottos.  So I'm not a fervent Mondo fanatic: or Funko, for that matter.  I have my fair share of both, but I'm not clamoring to add tons more.  This PR release feels a lot like a disingenuous move looking to quell concerns from stock holders, and _maybe_ hype fans who don't know much about Mondo.  I'm certainly not going to lead the pitchfork brigade against Funko w/this move (though I have friends who might), and while I do always respect how any corporation treats working artists I sincerely hope Mondo doesn't become a cool niche of the past.  I'd of course LOVE to be wrong, but it's hard to think they're going to maintain Mondo's uniquely cool art aesthetic & quality w/out many of Mondo's stable of artists AND selling products at a higher volume.

Earlier this month, the pop culture collectible company Funko announced it was going to throw $30 million worth of Pop! figures in the garbage because its warehouses were overflowing with excess stock. Now images are beginning to emerge of unopened boxes full of Harry Potter-themed Funkos and more at dumps and landfills.

Yeah, this story seems to go against the "Funko is going to open a massive new record-pressing plant in San Diego" story

I still haven’t heard anything publicly from Mo or Spencer, who run the record business. I guess now that they’re Funko employees, anything they say on social media will be the company line.

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. ("Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture lifestyle brand, today reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We are off to a strong start in 2023, with progress on our cost-savings initiatives and continued innovation in our product lineup. Enthusiasm for the brand remains strong, highlighted by our 61% sales increase in our direct-to-consumer channel, the success of our recent product launches, and the early promise of our recent commercial partnership with Fanatics,” said Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer.

“Due to our actions to reduce our cost structure, we are raising the midpoint of our outlook for adjusted EBITDA for the full year to between $65 million and $75 million. While our top priority continues to be improving our operations, we haven’t lost sight of all the tremendous opportunities that we believe will drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”

For years, Funko has been making vinyl figures of anything and everything in pop culture, from movies and shows with the biggest fandoms to random and forgotten relics. Sports figures have received the Pop! treatment and so have certain filmmakers.

In late 2020, the company launched a small program that allowed its customers to make figures of themselves or loves ones, but only as an in-person experience in its two brick-and-mortar locations — the Funko Headquarters in Everett, Wash., and Funko Hollywood in Los Angeles.

That program proved such a success that the company is taking it to the mass market. Funko is keeping it as an in-store experience but is now expanding it to the online world as well, calling the initiative Pop! Yourself.

Quote
EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Funko, Inc. (“Funko”) (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture lifestyle brand, announced that Brian Mariotti will take a leave of absence and cease serving as Funko’s CEO with full support from the company’s Board of Directors. Effective immediately, the Board of Directors appointed director Michael Lunsford as interim CEO and will also commence a thorough search for a new CEO including internal and external candidates. Mariotti remains a member of the Funko Board of Directors.

“Funko has been my labor of love for nearly two decades,” said Mariotti. “While I'm going to step away from the day-to-day business to recharge my batteries, I plan to stay active on our Board. I hope to come back and contribute to Funko again in new creative ways. I look forward to seeing our team and fans at San Diego Comic-Con next week.”

“Brian has been the driving force of Funko for years and his contributions are found throughout the company’s product and retail innovations,” said Chairman Charles Denson. “I am thrilled that Mike can seamlessly step in, while Brian takes some time. We will continue evolving this fan-first brand for the future in a creative and meaningful way.”

Lunsford, who joined the Funko Board of Directors in 2018, previously served as Chair of the Compensation Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee. Notably, Lunsford has also previously demonstrated his leadership capabilities by stepping in as interim CEO for two prominent public companies, EarthLink and RealNetworks. In both instances, he adeptly navigated transitional periods following the conclusion of the CEO and founders' tenures, allowing for smooth continuity and organizational success. This will be the sixth chief executive role for Lunsford.

“Brian and the Funko team have created an iconic and beloved brand, and I am honored to expand my role with the organization in the coming months,” said Lunsford. “In partnership with CFO/COO Steve Nave, President Andrew Perlmutter and the leadership team, we will carefully guide the company’s efforts to grow profitability while continuing to delight our deeply connected fan community. I am very excited to spend time with our fans, employees, investors and partners as we pursue the quest to capture the zeitgeist for pop culture enthusiasts.”

Funko, the toy and collectibles company focused on selling items with connections to pop culture, is undergoing a significant restructuring. The company disclosed in a securities filing Friday that it will lay off between 180-200 employees, representing about 12-13 percent of its workforce.

Funko said it expected to incur charges of up to $2.8 million associated with the layoffs, but that it will result in $20 million to $22 million of annualized run rate cash savings. The company says it is choosing to slash its staffing level as “part of the Company’s initiatives to re-balance its cost structure into prioritized areas that the Company believes will drive long-term growth and improve margins. As the Company focuses on these goals, it is consolidating functions and eliminating or reducing investment in areas of lower focus.”
