Funko Round-Up: Chrome Thanos, Woody Woodpecker, Chucky, and More!

Funko announces tons of new products and licenses every day, let alone every week. It can be a lot to keep up with. So we are here to help. Welcome to the Funko Round-Up! In this edition: Thanos becomes the Infinity Stones, a bunch of classic cartoon characters get the Pop treatment, and more horror than you can shake a stick at. Let’s take a look!

First up: Rocky and Bullwinkle! All five of these look so perfect, especially the Boris and Natasha! Fearless Leader has his scar, and I have nothing else to say here. These look great.

Woody Woodpecker finally gets a Funko Pop as well, including a chase version holding a mallet. Expect that to be a tough get.

Rounding out the classic characters, Chilly Willy will also be coming, pancakes an all! The all-frozen edition will be a Funko Shop exclusive.

Two new Cowboy Bebop Pops are on the way this fall.

Two new Doctor Who Pos are also coming, including a new version of the Tardis!

On the horror side of things, this month sees three new Pop Pens debut: Pennywise, Leatherface, and Beetlejuice. We are getting a Rock Candy version of Lydia from Beetlejuice, and two new Chucky collectibles. Two too many if you ask me, I hate that damn doll. If you don’t you can collect a new Chucky keychain and a Hot Topic exclusive Chucky on a cart pop to haunt your nightmares. No thanks.

And finally, Thanos gets not one, but six new chrome Pops, one for each color of the Infinity Stones. The downside? All six are Walmart exclusives. I don’t know about you, but I have not seen a new Funko Pop at Walmart in months, so my odds of finding any of these at the end of the month are basically zero. Good luck to those that try though.

Everyone at the DC Universe Streaming Panel at NYCC Got a Free Year’s Membership

It pays to go to New York Comic Con. Especially it seems the DC Comics panels. If you went to the earlier panel you got an exclusive DC Funko Primal Age Mr Freeze figure. And people are already trying to sell them on eBay for a hundred bucks each.

Well at the DC Universe Panel, they got something they weren’t going to have to put on eBay to get full value of – a year’s free subscription to the DC Universe streaming app, including access to comic books, cartoons, TV shows, movies and original content, such as the upcoming Titans TV show. That’s a $74.99 value for everyone in the room…

You get a DC Universe year subscription! You get a DC Universe year subscription! And you get a DC Universe year subscription! Unless of course if you don’t live in the US, then you might as well put that on eBay too.

Thursday-only last minute tickets sold for $50. Which makes an instant profit for attending just two panels…

What will other shows offer to challenge NYCC at this game?

DC’s Primal Age Comics by Marv Wolfman Will be Exclusive to Target

At New York Comic Con, DC Comics and Funko have been announcing a new line of figures, the DC Primal Age. And exclusive to Amazon.

But DC Comics couldn’t let that go without further exploitation. Which is why Marv Wolfman will be writing a comic book based around the characters.

DC Universe Heroes in a Medieval Masters Of The Universe setting… written by Marv Wolfman. I’d read that.

If it wasn’t exclusive to Target.

Sigh. Will no one think of the British? We don’t have Targets or Walmarts. Can DC’s next exclusive line be exclusive to Tescos? Just so everyone knows hat it’s like?

Thanks to Hugh Sheridan and Octavio Karbank for getting the word to us.
