If we learned anything from Disney’s 1994 animated epic musical, it’s that hakuna matata ain’t no passing craze and neither are the loveable characters The Lion King introduced to the world. Bring home a piece of the Pride Lands of Africa, and Disney, with Pop! Mufasa, Simba, Nala and Zazu. Meanwhile, Pop! Timon and Pumbaa are ready for a luau with a grass skirt, apple and lei.
But the fifty (ish) titles that will be given away will be announced next week, on the Free Comic Book Day’s Facebook Live Stream., the twelve gold titles at 2pm ET on Monday and thirty-six or so silver titles at 2pm ET on the Thursday.
Bleeding Cool has already announced some of the merchandise on sale for FCBD 2019, but the comcis (so far) are still a mystery…
Here’s the video of the announcement of the announcements.
Also to come will be an Exclusive John Constantine POP! from Funko….
The PREVIEWS Exclusive (PX) POP! DC Heroes: John Constantine Vinyl Figure (NOV180015; SPR $11.99) may look scruffy in his rumpled trench coat, with his rumpled hair and sour attitude, but don’t be fooled… John Constantine is one of the most accomplished magicians in the DC Universe! In May, Constantine joins Funko’s POP! figure line with a PX just in time for Free Comic Book Day! Standing 3 3/4” tall with the urban, stylized design that has made Funko’s figures so popular, the POP! John Constantine Figure is essential for collectors who love the darker side of the DC Universe!
Diamond Select Toys adds a new figure to its Marvel Gallery line as Spider-Man celebrates Free Comic Book Day with the black costume variant.
