Marvel 80th Anniversary Gets More Funko Pops Coming Soon

Marvel’s 80th Anniversary is still here. We have one whole month left until our favorite comic book industry is sharing its 81st anniversary but it is not as catchy. It looks like Funko pop is still dropping some amazing Marvel 80th Anniversary Funko’s in this time it’s staying in our favorite web slingers universe. We will be getting the first appearance of Spiderman and everyone’s favorite villain vulture. I’m honestly not a big fan of the jumping pose of Spider-Man Funko Pop’s I would rather have preferred classic standing pose. This is still a nicely designed a Funko Pop and perfect for any Spider-Man fan. Vulture is getting his first-time debut and I love the design of him. The flying aspect works well with his character and the green definitely pops. We have been starting to see alot of Spider-Man villians getting Funko Pop figures. All we need now is a Chameleon to be created and we can finally have most of the major spider villains. Vulture gives us the final Funko Pop piece to give us a compete Sinister Six collection.  These two are a perfect set to come out of the Marvel 80th Anniversary series and will definitely be hitting Spider-Man collector shelves next year. 

The Marvel 80th Anniversary Spider-Man Funko Pop‘s are not exclusive to anywhere they will be common releases. They will be priced between the usual nine dollars to $13 depending on what retailer you find them at. Pre-Orders for them are already live and you can find them located here. These characters won’t be seeing shelves until Spring 2020. Don’t forget to check out some of the other amazing up-and-coming a Funko Pops like the Iron Maiden, The Good Place, and Backstreet Boys.

Baby Yoda Brings the Cuteness with the New Plush Toy from Mattel

Baby Yoda is the new trend these days and with trends comes toys. We knew this day was coming and it is finally here we are finally getting collectibles of upcoming “The Child” toys. We have first seen T-shirts with basic decals on them and we have recently seen the Funko Pop releases of baby Yoda. This time it looks like we’ll be getting an adorable 11-inch plush toy coming from Mattel that will be flying off shelves this spring. If you were not aware, Baby Yoda is referred to as The Child in the Disney+ hit show The Mandalorian. He has not only stolen our hearts but he is now about to steal our money as we buy all of his merchandise. There’s an 11-inch tall plush toy that features a perfectly marketed basket holding him. Looks like he will come with cloth clothing and possibly hard hands and head? We are mainly seeing prototype pictures from this model and this style could change in the future but from what I’m seeing this will be hard to find collectible in the future.

The Star Wars The Mandalorian 11 inch The Child a.k.a. Baby Yoda Plush from Mattel will be priced at only $25. Which is a perfect price for an amazing collectible!? He is set to ship out and arrive in stores in April 2020 so we do have some waiting time for him. You should be able to pre-order him at your local comic shop or you can find him located here online. Make sure you lock one down before it’s too late. 

May the Force be with The Child

Baby Yoda Funko POP Figures Are Now Up For Order

Baby Yoda fever continues each week we get a new episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, and merch is finally starting to surface. Funko have finally revealed the one collectible everyone seems to want: a POP version. The figure features “The Child” in his Force pose, wearing his too-big-for-him cloak. Baby Yoda will also have a 10 inch POP figure available, which is basically life-size. These could be the most anticipated Funko POPS of all-time. Check out both of the figures below:

Coming Soon: Pop! Star Wars™: The Mandalorian —The Child
Embrace the cuteness of the newest Star Wars character by pre-ordering Funko’s “the Child” Pop! in both standard size AND a near-lifesize 10-inch version! He may look like a Baby Yoda, but this lovable creature is referred to as “the Child.”

Sucks that this particular Baby Yoda figure just wasn’t ready in time for Christmas, but that makes sense. Funko and others probably didn’t get reference for Baby Yoda until just before the premiere went live. Not that it will matter. The Mandalorian is the hottest thing around right now, and with Star Wars Celebration in the spring and the demand for merch from the show high, they could release this anytime and sell millions of them.

You can preorder the Baby Yoda Funko Pops right here.

Funko 12 Days of Christmas Bundle Coming on Cyber Monday

Funko will be releasing a special Cyber Monday bundle for their upcoming 12 Days of Funko releases. They have done this in years past where they release 12 unique and special Funko Pops for 12 days in a row that collectors can sink their Christmas teeth into. Last year they did offer a bundle that included all of the Funko Pop’s right away but you did not know what was in it. The same is going for this year as this Cyber Monday Funko will be dropping their 12 days of Funko bundle, however, CEO Brian Mariotti has been releasing hints over Twitter featuring one simple emoji. So far we have seen 10 hints with two of them have been already revealed. I am currently unsure of whether the Cyber Monday bundle is different then the 12 Days of Funko or if they are in fact the same. It seems split between the community on if it is the same or not. We will know more when the bundle goes live on Monday.

The only two actual reveals we do have is that there will be a 10 inch Frankenberry Pop. 10 inches seem to be the end this year and we have already seen a 10 inch of Count Chocula go live this Halloween. So all we have left is Boo Beery and all three cereal Halloween mascots have been transformed into 10 inch Pops. Funko did confirm that this is the only 10” Funko that will be in the bundle.

The other reveal was Exclusive to the Funko Fan Club members through the Funko app. It does look like one of the upcoming Pops will be Holiday Tinker Bell. She is flying and sporting a special Santa hat that is perfect for any Disney fan of this holiday season. Basing this off the emoji reveals she should be #3 as a twinkle.

We have two more hints left and we will finally see the bundle go live on Monday. We will know more info when it does but you’ll be able to find that bundle online and located here.

It is hard to really guess what these hints will be. The 12 Days of Funko does not always surround the theme of the holiday. Sure we did get some Christmas themes last year like Buddy from Elf, Holiday Betty Boop, and some Spastik Plastik winter characters. Whatever, we got some interesting debut characters like the Teletubbies and the Pillsbury Doughboy. I feel like it is safe to say that we will at least see at least one Freddy Funko and one Funko original. All will finally be revealed on Monday! 

What do you think some of the emojis are? Are there any Funko Pops you hope to show up in the 12 days?
