Funko Emerald City Comic Con: Our Top 5 Pop Picks

Funko just had their Emerald City Comic Con convention replacement, the Funko Virtual Con. The event was a success and of course, there were exclusive figures. There were both convention and shared exclusives that fans were dying to get their hands on. So we here at Bleeding Cool have picked out our top 5 Funko Pops to come out of the convention. We will be covering both shared exclusive figures that fans can still get in stores and some of the sold out convention only Pops too.

The Gelatinous Cube is first on our list as it a unique design for all fans. We actually did a review of the figure and you can find that here. It's a great Funko Pop for this green themed convention. It comes in a slightly bigger box but the figure itself is something unique and special that any Dungeons & Dragons fans should defiantly own. You can find your own Gelatinous Cube at local GameStops and here.

Next up is the severed armed Thanos! This was another figure already got our hands on and you can find that review here. Thanos from Avengers: Endgame is something unique that Funko brought to the table that any Marvel fan should add. It does give us a new style of mold for Thanos and even has an arm that can be attached and detached which is pretty awesome. You can find him online still and located here

Slime He-Man was another one of our favorite figures that Funko released for ECCC. It stays true to the Emerald City green colored theme and brings a fan favorite variant figure to life. This glow in the dark figure is perfect for any Masters of the Universe fans old and new. These were also shared with GameStops and should be still available and also here.

Funko Soda is a new collectible that Funko has brought to markets. We have already done a couple reviews on them already and we even have found a Chase already! ECCC brought us four new Funko Soda figures that are convention exclusives. We got a Green Batman, Green Huckleberry Hound, and two special Scott Pilgrim Sodas. Each one has the ability to obtain a chase variant which only makes it more special. The Scott Pilgrim figures are still up on Funko Shop and you can find them here.

Our last Emerald City Comic Con exclusive figures that are on your list is the Funko HQ POP Town. The Pop Town isn't fairly new but there isn't a lot of there at the moment. Funko dropped a special one as a convention exclusive that features the amazing HQ. Freddy Funko with some shopping bags is also included and makes a great exclusive figure for a great store. These have already sold out across the board but you might be able to find them from their markets for a little higher price than normal.

Every convention has its ups and downs and this time we really saw some A-game material. From a lot of green variants to a nice set of unique figures, this con was a nice addition to any fans hunt.

Thanos Gets a New Funko Pop for Emerald City and We Love It!

Emerald City Comic Con was sadly postponed but Funko still gave fans the experience they wanted. With their first ever Virtual Con we got to see all the exclusives, convention and shared, get released in one place at one time. One of the ones on our list was the new Thanos Funko Pop and boy was he worth it! This was also a shared exclusive to GameStop and was also available on the Funko Shop. As a Marvel Cinematic Universe Pop completionist, this was one figure I needed to own. Well, let's dive right into our next Funko POP Review.

The box is pretty standard with the other Avengers: Endgame Funko Pops. The only this time really makes this Thanos box stand out from the rest is the green shared exclusive sticker on the window. It was odd that the sticker was more in the center of the box than the corner but this is due to the severed arm placement.

I honestly was pretty excited another MCU Funko Pop was on the way. However, I wasn't that excited about the figure but that all changed when I got Thanos is my hands. This figure I badass in more ways than one. First off, this is the first Funko POP to feature a removable piece that can enhance the figure. Thanos is placed on his knee with the burnt aftermath of using the stones. The design and sculpt of his burnt skin and crushed gauntlet are pretty amazing. It wasn't until I saw the design up close that I really fell in love with it. The removable arm is a nice touch and fits the scene just right as Thor slices off the gauntlet to try to change the future. Nice farmer clothes and Burt face really make Thanos his own unique collectible and Funko did just right by it.

This is a great addition to the Endgame Funko POP line. It was well worth entering the line up as a convention exclusive. If you would love to have one of your own they are still live on Funko Shop here or you can find him at GameStop here.
