One of the most coveted gems in the grunge era sold for an unprecedented $6 million at auction. Nirvana frontmanKurt Cobain used the 1959 Martin D-18E guitar during the band's acoustic performance on MTV Unplugged on November 18, 1993. Five months following the episode, the singer-songwriter took his own life from a self-inflicted gunshot at the age of 27. Their Unplugged appearance was released as a live album. The guitar was sold to Australian Peter Freedman, owner of Røde Microphones, at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California. Cobain played "About A Girl" from their debut album Bleach and "All Apologies" from their final studio album In Utero.
How the Nirvana Frontman's Guitar Compared to Other Auction Items
By comparison, a custom blue guitar used by Prince at the height of his stardom in the 80s and 90s including his 1984 Purple Rain tour sold for $563,500. Cobain's guitar was originally slated to sell in the range of $100,000-$200,000. The band scored 10 top 40 hits on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, including five No. 1s and four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. They also won several Grammys, American Music Awards, and MTV Music Video Awards. Four of Nirvana's songs ("All Apologies", "Come As You Are", "In Bloom", and "Smells Like Teen Spirit") reached Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." In addition to In Utero and Unplugged, the band's most successful album Nevermindreached the publication's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic founded Nirvana in 1987 with Aaron Burckhard on drums. The following year, Burckhard left and the band went through multiple drummers until 1990 when they settled on Dave Grohl. That lineup with guitarist Pat Smear was the one inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility in 2014 with Cobain's widow Courtney Love there to accept on her husband's behalf.
Last year we were teased with an upcoming Funko Mystery Box for Free Comic Book Day. With Free Comic Book Day postponed it looks like Funko has unveiled the contents of the boxes. Loki takes center stage with this box and will have three different boxes available. Each box will contain the new Funko mold showcasing modern Loki holding Mjolnir. There will be three mystery boxes each will have a different comic variant and different Pop Tee. Each design is very well done and will be a nice extra for these mystery boxes. The comic book is spaced out with ratios with the virgin Loki cover being 1:4 and the purple variant brings 1:10. Funko has included even more bonuses in these boxes too as collectors can find a 1 of 25 Golden Ticket. Each golden ticket will be redeemable for special Prize Pack that can include Funko protos. On top of that fans will have a chance to win 1 out of 12 signed Pops from Funko CEO Brian Mariotti.
These Funko Mystery Boxes are packed with a nice variety of collectibles. I like how the comics and the shirts are random in each instead of multiple Funko Pops. Each design is perfect for any Loki fan and some might want to buy all three. I'm curious about what some of these prize packs will include and they seem like they will be very exclusive. With the cancellation of Funko Fundays, this seems like a great and fun way to give out prizes in time like this. these boxes will be $34.99 and you can lock down yours at your local comic shop. Free Comic Book Summer starts July 15 and they will hit comic book stores then. Check out the Funko Blog for the official reveal here. What comic variant and shirt are you looking forward to the most??

Funko has finally announced the upcoming Target exclusive Marvel Black Light Series Pops. These Pops have been rumored for quite some time with the occasion leak here and there. So finally Funko has officially unveiled this new series as well as all of the other goodies coming to that include: shirts, hats, backpacks, and more. All of these figures are stated to release tomorrow June 21, 2020. To start things off we are checking out the Funko clothing items that will be coinciding with the Pops release. There will be two hats, one is a black light Iron Man and the other is a black light coloring of the Amazing Spider-Man logo. There are also socks coming out that feature Marvel heroes Thor, Spidey, and Iron Man all in colorful designs. There will also be four special Black Light Series cups featuring these characters as well as black light Captain America. Something new that will also be dropping in this Funko Marvel Black Light Series is three backpacks. Each one features a special black light design and they are an upside-down Spider-Man, Cosmic Iron Man, and another featuring four characters in comic panel themed designs. The montage comic book backpack design is also the same the one of the upcoming Pop Tees. We will also be seeing a Pop and Tee bundle featuring your favorite web-slinging hero. This will be the only way to get the Funko Marvel Black Light Amazing Spider-Man Pop as he is not getting a solo release. The other four Marvel characters that are getting released are Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Doctor Strange. Each one is brightly colored and features a new black Funko Pop box design.
This is a very interesting wave of Marvel Funko Pops. Their groovy look will pull in plenty of collectors in to have them fill out their collections. I wonder if this will be a one hit wonders or if we will we continue to see more Marvel heroes get the Funko Black Light series treatment. I like how it's more than just Funko Pops as there are posters, backpacks, hats, and shirts releasing side by side with these Pops. All of these Funko Marvel Black Light Series Pops is set to hit Target stores tomorrow June 20, 2020. If they are not arriving expect a drop this week at your local Target stores. There will most likely be an online release too which will be located here and they will probably drop random tomorrow or it'll be around 9 am EST. What Marvel characters deserve the black light treatment next?
Mickey Mouse is a Disney icon that everyone knows. He has impacted so many people over the years and has created fans throughout the generations. Funko has unveiled a very special Mickey Mouse Funko Pop that commentates him throughout the years. This Exclusive 5-pack shows off 5 different Mickey Mouses all displayed on one single platform. Each Mickey shows off a popular version of the character. Each Funko Mouse is posed as if they are drawing the next Mickey in line which is a very cute portrayal. The first Mickey Mouse is the iconic Steamboat Willie who is drawing in the first colored Classic Mickey. We then get a Sorcerer Mickey who is drawing in the fairy tale, Beanstalk Mickey. Finally, it all leads to the modern Mickey Mouse standing proudly at the end of the 5-Pack. All of these figures are very well sculpted and the whole group on display will be a great collectible piece for any Disney fan.
This is a very creative Funko POP set that any fan can get behind. I am a huge fan of how each Mickey Mouse connects as they draw the next one in line. This is a very cute way to incorporate all the generations of the Disney Icon in one set collectible. The Amazon Exclusive Disney Archives Mickey Mouse 5-Pack Funko Pop will be priced at $49.99. This set is supposed to be released in August 2020 and pre-orders are already live and can be found here.

Hit collectibles company's Funko and Good Smile Company have locked down a multi year deal. This deal is with video game company Ubisoft as they try to extend their content into the collectibles world. The deal gives licenses of some of their hit games Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege to allow new collectibles to be made. For Funko, fans can expect to see the whole line up of Rainbow Six Operators get pop-ified in the near future. This deal also includes the development of Funko Pop Tees featuring some of these franchise characters. We have already seen a couple Assassin's Creed Funko Pops in the past but now it looks like we could see some of the games newer protagonists enter from games like Assassin's Creed: Origins and the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. It will be nice to see newly updated Pop molds for some of these new characters and maybe some old remakes. I am more excited to get some Rainbow Six Siege collectibles that will bring some of our favorite Operators to life. These upcoming collectibles will from Funko will start to come out instore and online in early 2021.
Good Smile Company also haze secures a deal with Ubisoft too. Good Smile Company has both Nendoroid and figma designs in mind with this new deal. Both of these designs already be amazing as Good Smile Company really has its collectibles game on point. The figma Assassin Creed figures will be something else and I hope we can see some new ones from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and maybe an Altair. The Nendoroid line is perfect for Rainbow Six Siege and it'll be nice to see some classic operators like Ash, IQ, and Doc. It will be exciting to see what both of these companies have planned for these licenses. Both know what they are doing so fans of these series should get very excited to see what is just around the corner. Just check out all of the new line up of Rainbow Six Siege Operators that could be getting collectibles here.
