Pink Slips On All Funko And Diamond Comics And Toys At Hastings Today

This is the Wichita Falls, Texas branch of entertainment store Hastings. This was the first to make the expansion into comics and collectibles back in 2009.

And this is where it seems to end, as the company goes into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. See all those pink slips everywhere?

Today, Hastings has ordered their staff to take inventory of all Diamond and Funko stock. The store is riddled with these pink labels. The Great pop Purge of 2016 is coming…

So, yes, Hastings did get two weeks of comics,though seemingly a decreased amount. And, yes, it included the retailer exclusive variant covers of Batman #1 and Han Solo #1.

Will Hastings Sell Two Weeks Of Comics Tomorrow? Including Han Solo #1 And Batman #1 Exclusives

Last week, the entertainment chain Hastings did not get their direct market comic books  including their retailer exclusive cover variants of Han Solo #1 and Batman #1 from Diamond Comic Distributors. Entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and owing the Diamond group over $1.6 million.

An anonymous Hastings employee gets in touch to tell us,

I work at a Hastings and we did receive comics this week. We also received last week’s comics. The Batman and Han Solo Hastings exclusive retailer variants were a part of the comics.

So do let me know if that works out tomorrow, Hastings customers. And maybe look forward (if that’s the word) to one of these videos every night.

#PLAYMOBIL Teases New #GHOSTBUSTERS License

It looks as if Playmobil is dipping their toes further into the licensing pool.  In February Funko revealed some joint licensing projects with Playmobil in a new 6″ scale format, but this new announcement appears to be in their traditional 4″ format.   Playmobil’s only other previous license in the classic scale has been the NHL.

Rumor has it these new Ghostbusters Playmobil figures will make their debut at the Nuremberg Toy Fair.

If there is something strange in your playroom, who you gonna call?
