Beetlejuice and Pennywise Get Funko Funkoween Reveals

It is always a pleasure to see massive reveals of upcoming Funko Pops and their most recent theme was Halloween in May with Funkoween. This opened the door on a huge wave of upcoming horror related Pops from a new 10" Chucky and the first reveal of Zombieland Pops to Creepshow and now we are getting some new Beetlejuice. This was a pleasant surprise for all those horror fans who have been waiting for more collectibles to buy. Everything special comes to an end though with these final Funkoween reveals. The first one we are looking for is the first modern expansion of the Funko Soda line. It looks like the new Pennywise from IT is getting the treatment. This figure will be limited to 20,000 pieces which is the biggest edition size by far. Pennywise will also have a Chase variant similar to the Walmart Exclusive Funko Pop with the blowing hair over his face. The design of this figure is pretty disturbing and will be an interesting figure for the Funko Soda line. The next one is of course from Beetlejuice as Barbara and Adam Maitland are getting their horror transformations Pop-ified. These are two great additions to the Beetlejuice line and will defiantly please any dedicated fan.

The Funkoween event was a very nice way to show some of the Pops that have made the cut this year. It was quite a surprise to see the Pennywise Funko Soda. The figure itself is pretty creepy and it shows the collectible line is expanding. The Beetlejuice figures are pretty amazing and are designed quite well. This makes me wonder if we will see the normal versions of these figures. Until them fans will have some horror transformations to get their hands on and are all common and set to release between August and September 2020. You can find the Pennywise Funko Soda here and he is priced at $12.99. The Barbara and Adam Transformation Beetlejuice Pops are also up for pre-order and you can find them located here. Make sure you lock down what pre-orders you want to secure these bad boys and girls. Funko will be limiting shipments this year so a pre-order will secure yours.

Pedro Pascal Talks Community, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Role and More

First things first, if you haven't checked out the Community cast's charity table read of fifth season episode "Cooperative Polygraphy", you need to treat yourself to it (check out the link below). Along with bringing Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, Donald Glover, and series creator Dan Harmon back together, the event also gifted us with guest star Pedro Pascal. Sitting in for Walton Goggins in the role of Mr. Stone, The Mandalorian star made himself an honorary member of the study group (and the breakout star of the table read) by cracking up over the comedic genius behind the line, "liquid nitrogen–cooled cylinder of my hyper-virile sperm" (and not just once).

Pedro Pascal joins The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale.

Thankfully, Pascal got a chance to "explain himself" when he appeared on McHale and Jeong's The Darkest Timeline podcast (Episode #13: "The Changdalorian"). The actor covers his professional journey that's included global series successes Game of Thrones and Narcos, and what lead to his involvement in the Community table read. But for our money, the best part? Pascal's (brief) connection to Buffy's college years during the fourth season opener of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Community fans are also being asked to contribute to two charities that have been front-and-center in the COVID-19 relief effort to get fresh, nourishing meals to both frontline responders and communities in need: Frontline Foods and its partner, José Andrés' World Central Kitchen. Over at the study group's Prizeo site (here), you can make a donation that earns you "entries" (though you don't have to donate to enter) that could find you walking away with the Ultimate Community Fan Package. How "ultimate" are we talking? Oh, it's pretty "ultimate". Following another look at the cast's post-table-read Q&A is a rundown of all the things you can walk away with if you get an entry in before June 1, 11:59 p.m. PST.

In case there's any doubt if the contest's worth it, the prize package begins with a 20-minute private video chat where you get to meet cast members, followed by a guest appearance on McHale and Jeong's podcast The Darkest Timeline. From there, it's a proverbial tidal wave of props and memorabilia: a tiny sombrero that says "Señor Chang", three planters from Troy and Abed's apartment, a CD of "Daybreak" signed by Michael Haggins, one of Britta's sweaters, a custom sweatshirt made exclusively for cast and crew, a signed copy of Shirley's Brownie Bible, a book from the "Competitive Wine Tasting" episode, ten (10) custom lunch boxes made exclusively for cast and crew, and signed Abed, Annie, Britta, and Shirley Funko figures.
