HeroWorld Figures Debut From Funko, Exclusive to Target

HeroWorld figures have been announced by Funko. Standing at 4 inches, these figures will be in stores and online starting this week. I personally have seen some in my Targets for a couple weeks now. Featuring many different licenses to start, they come in five packs and two packs. DC, Scooby-Doo, Teen Titans Go!, Power Rangers, and Five Nights at Freddy’s will be available at launch.

Funko is excited to introduce our newest vinyl collectible figures – HeroWorld!
Exclusive to Target and Target.com, HeroWorld includes various worlds and features your favorite heroes from DC Comics, Five Nights at Freddy’s,
Teen Titans Go!, Power Rangers, and Scooby-Doo!

HeroWorld 4” vinyl figures will make the perfect addition to your collection. For fans and collectors of all ages, you can find HeroWorld figures as part of both 5-packs and additional 2-pack sets of characters to expand your roster of heroes.

Look for HeroWorld at Target stores and Target.com this week!

These have a familiar look to anyone who has been in a Disney Store or park the last few years packaging-wise. They also feature no articulation. These are basically another miniature figure-line from Funko to collect. Target sure is getting a lot of Funko exclusives these days as well, and considering how difficult they are to find there, that is certainly curious.

As far as character selections go- home run. The Power Rangers will fly out of stores. Especially the Green and White Ranger sets. Very smart to include those and do the zords as well. They probably could have just done this line as Rangers only and been fine. Five Nights at Freddy’s sells, I don’t understand it but I am glad someone likes it. The only ones I will be picking up are the Scooby kids. That is an awesome set. I have more DC vinyl figures and minis and such than I know what to do with at this point, SO personally I will be avoiding those. The Titans should move well though.

Again, these should be in stores right now. You can also check them out later this week at Target’s website.

Lilo and Stitch Experiment 626 Funko Exclusive Heads to BoxLunch

Lilo and Stitch is getting a new Funko exclusive at BoxLunch. Going on sale this Wednesday, January 10th, fans can get this new domed release of Stitch when he was captured before he escaped to Earth. Experiment 626 follows in the footsteps of other Funko domed exclusives at Hot Topic. Those included gold versions of BB-8 and R2-D2 from Star Wars and the rose from Beauty and the Beast. This will retail for $28.90 and available to purchase here.

I can’t imagine a more perfect collectible for Lilo and Stitch collectors — or Disney collectors, for that matter. Look at his little space suit! Disney characters just make the perfect-looking Funko figures, guys and gals; it is just time we admit that. You will want to get in on this one pretty quickly if you would like one, as the other domed figures went pretty fast.

DC Pop-Up Shop Heads to Washington D.C.

DC fans in the Washington, D.C. area are in for a treat when DC’s greatest Super Heroes arrive for DC in D.C. on Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend. In addition to panel discussions, screenings and more, Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) and DC Entertainment are sponsoring a limited-time DC in D.C. Pop-Up Shop that will be open Friday, January 12–Sunday, January 14, 2018, in front of the Newseum.

Newseum, located in the heart of Pennsylvania Avenue midway between the Capitol and the White House, will be the center of DC in D.C.’s Friday’s screening and Saturday’s panel sessions. It will also be the location of the exclusive, limited-time DC Pop-Up Shop. Featuring the world’s greatest graphic novels, the fully heated store will be situated directly in front of the Newseum building at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.

A fully transportable, high-tech container space that measures 40 feet by 10 feet, the DC Pop-Up Shop will not only support a DC merchandise shop, charging stations and a free Jitters coffee bar, but will also feature interactive displays covering the history of DC — from its earliest origins to the television powerhouses that those Super Heroes represent today. And even though it’s cold outside, the Pop-Up Shop is fully heated. Features of the DC Pop-Up Shop include the following:

  • Graphic Novels for Sale: Available for purchase at the Pop-Up Shop will be the Top 50 Greatest DC graphic novels of all-time. Among the many titles will be fan-favorites and cult classics such as The Death of Superman, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Killing Joke, Crisis on Infinite Earths and more. Also available will be a collection of books for young readers (ages 10 and above), including Teen Titans and DC Super Hero Girls.
  • Giant Comic Panels: On both sides of the shop will be a series of two dozen 7-by-4-foot flip panels featuring Titan-sized reproductions of some of the most iconic comic-book covers in history. Not only a fantastic photo opportunity, but fans will have the ability to flip their way through the history of DC and how comics are made. There’s even a behind-the-scenes look at the production process with the “How to Build a Hero” station. Imagine standing face-to-face with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more as they look out from life-sized comic books! Both educational in their scope, they also provide a wealth of social media interaction with Instagrammable moments from the history of comics.
  • Talent Appearances & Signings: Visiting talent from both WBTV and DC Entertainment will stop by to meet fans and sign autographs. The casts from WBTV’s Gotham and Black Lightning are currently slated to attend, alongside noted DC writers and artists including Jim Lee (Batman: Hush), Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle) and Geoff Johns (Rebirth, Doomsday Clock).
  • Jitters Coffee: Free coffee! Any fan of WBTV’s The Flash (Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW) will be familiar with CC Jitters, the go-to coffee house of the extended Arrow-verse. Washington, D.C.’s DC fans will be thrilled to learn that Jitters will be open as part of the Pop-Up Shop and serving free coffee for three days (January 12–14).  Warm up with a cup in the fully-heated retail space.
  • DC Super Hero Costumes: On display, the actual costumes worn by Barry Allen aka The Flash (series star Grant Gustin) and Kara Danvers aka Supergirl (series star Melissa Benoist) in their respective WBTV series (The Flash airing Tuesdays at 8/7c and Supergirl on Mondays at 8/7c on The CW).
  • Black Lightning Charging Station: Tying into the Saturday night world premiere of WBTV’s Black Lightning (Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW), the Pop-Up Shop will also feature a Black Lightning charging station for visitors to “Power Up” their devices on the go.
  • LED Megascreen: On the back side of the Pop-Up Shop, facing the Capitol Building, an enormous 15-by-9-foot LED screen will be running living art (motion graphics) of iconic comics and high-impact, super-powered video clips and trailers featuring DC Super Heroes from comics and television.
  • Custom T-Shirts: Also available for purchase onsite will be a selection of nine exclusive DC in D.C. themed T-shirts featuring DC’s greatest Super Heroes and imagery of DC’s greatest books. Artwork will include Superman meets JFK, Superman meets Reagan, Action Comics #1, Detective Comics No. 27, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Freedom Fighters and more.
  • Funko Figurines: DC fans will be able to purchase a curated selection of DC Funko Pop! Figures, including fan favorites from the worlds of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Batman, Superman and more DC heroes.
  • Hours & Location: The DC in D.C. Pop-Up Shop will be open Friday–Sunday, January 12–14, from 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. and can be found in front of the Newseum at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.
