New York Toy Fair: 80+ Pics From the Funko Booth!

Funko revealed a lot of stuff ahead of New York Toy Fair yesterday, for over 12 hours. It was pretty insane. They have much of it on display in their booth on the floor of Toy Fair this morning, and Funko Funaics were in full force to see all of the new items in person. Always one of the more fun (and classy looking) booths at the show, everything from the BTS Pops to their full line of Ghostbusters revealed yesterday were on full display.

New WWE Pops, plenty of Pop Pez dispensers, Mystery Minis galore. the new MLB mascot Pops look amazing, although this Cleveland native will never forgive them for not making a Slider. The Alien 40th anniversary Pops look incredible, the Funko Savage World Street Fighter figures are some of the best looking yet. But it is hard to top these new Ghostbusters products. That Movie Moment Pop of the boys trapping Slimer may be my favorite Pop of all-time. In person it looks incredible. And what about the Slimer eating the hot dogs! Add those to the awesome Mystery Minis, and Funko can just have all my money when these come out.

My one complaint: where are the Pint Size Heroes Funko? Please tell me you are not done with them. Ghostbusters ones would have been amazing, and there is so many more licenses you can make. Please do it!

Check out all the pics below.

Austin Books & Comics Closing Its Sidekick Store This Weekend

Long-standing Texan comic book store Austin Books & Comics has a second discount comic book store close by, The Sidekick Store. With rows and rows of longboxes full of $1 back issues, 50% off paperbacks, hardcovers, and manga, bagged sets of comics, heavily discounted toys, collectables, showcase comics, and the like.

However, due to escalating rents, they are closing the store for good this weekend. So they are clearing the place with everything bulk-priced into value boxes.

So comics previously at a dollar each are now ten cents each, or an entire longbox for twenty bucks. All graphic novels and trade paperbacks are a dollar each. And Funko Pops are a dollar each as well.

Here are the kind of deals going down…

My local Discount Comic Store, @AustinBooks sidekick, is closing soon. All trades and HC’s were 88% off cover price. Everything else was 75% off. For $50 I got all of this. (No #GreenLantern stuff because you think they had something I didn’t already?! Please…) pic.twitter.com/sYXH5Tqxz9

Bleeding Cool tries to mark the passing of comics stores as well as their opening. Existing fanbases are likely to make the former more well known, but please let us know if a comic store is opening or closing in your neighbourhood. Just e-mail richjohnston@bleedingcool.com.
