Batman 1989 Gets Adorable with New Cosbaby Figures From Hot Toys

The Hot Toys Cosbaby line is still pretty new and is quite unique. We have seen a lot of Batman movies getting these collectibles lately and it looks like Batman 1989 is next. These figures act like they want to compete with Funko but I can get more of a Dorbz vibe rather than the Pop vibe. Still, these figures are still cool and can easily fit perfectly in any collection of the right clientele. This time Batman and Joker are getting their Batman 1989 remakes and it is nice to see them in such a unique way. Batman will come with a Cosbaby Batmobile that you can even insert him inside of which is pretty cool. Jack Nicholson’s Joker is also getting his Cosbaby debut and has two different versions of him. Both are highly colorful, full of character and you can just hear his voice looking at these. Joker fans should plan on getting these as not a lot of Joker 1989 collectibles are out there. Each on Cosbaby is $25 and the Batmobile is priced at $83, which seems pretty steep. Pre-orders are already live and you can find them located here.

Batman (1989) – Cosbaby

“It’s not exactly a normal world, is it? – Batman.

When the Bat-Signal flashes across the night sky, Batman springs into action and descends from the rooftops to defend the citizens of Gotham City from the criminal underworld that threatens them. Based on the classic Batman released in 1989, Hot Toys is thrilled to present its Cosbaby collectibles of Batman and The Joker to recall moments from movie! Features Batman with Batmobile Cosbaby (S) Collectible Set; Batman with Grappling Gun, Joker, Joker (Laughing Version), and Joker (Mime Version) Cosbaby (S). Each Cosbaby stands approximately 11.5 – 12cm tall with rotatable head.

Batman with Batmobile set covers the Caped Crusader and Batmobile within a single exciting package! Consider as one of the most recognizable iteration of the Dark Knight’s ride, the Batmobile is positively massive, measures about 17 cm in length and 9cm in height. Batman Cosbaby is removable from the vehicle to display individually.

Batman with Grappling Gun highlights Batman and his fancy weapon in stylish Cosbaby style, Batman is ready!
The clown prince of crime back in town! Thinking of his next evil plan that taunts Batman and the citizens. Wearing the remarkable white face paint and purple suit, Joker with a devilish smile holds a cane and a bang gun is ready to greet you at door; holds a paint brush, the Laughing Version brings Joker the world’s first fully functioning homicidal artist and he can’t wait to surprise you with his most gorgeous living piece of art; Mime Version presents Joker in black and white sophisticated suit with a tall hat holding the quill pen.

Join the fight! The great city of Gotham and its dark knight depend on you!

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – “Harry Potter”

Funko continues to drop the Emerald City Comic Con Exclusives! This time it looks like two new Harry Potter figures are on there way. I’m honestly surprised by these two as Funko is getting deeper into the world outside the main characters. This is a great way to continue the fandom of the series on top of one of the biggest series inside of the Pop Vinyl world. First up is the one and only Nymphadora Tonks and she looks amazing. This half-blood witch and a Metamorphmagus is sporting her iconic purple hair as seen in the films and her rebel style outfit. This is an exclusive I can get behind and I’m sure other fans will be excited to see her appearance. Next, we are getting another member of the Tri-Wizard Cup, Fleur Delacour. From one of my favorite Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Fleur is her to win. She is sporting her blue outfit from her academy and it defiantly compliments this Funko POP nicely. It is still unclear what pop vinyl figures will be convention exclusive and shared exclusives. ECCC doesn’t take place until March 12th -15, so I’d expect we will see the usual Thursday or Friday release. Stay tuned here at Bleeding Cool for when more info becomes available.

Lucky Ladies.

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – “Scott Pilgrim”

The Funko Soda line is new in the Funko world and it looks like they are already making their first convention debut. We have already seen the Batman Soda that will be Green and will come with a Pink Chase version. This time two characters from Scott Pilgrim arrive as both Scott and Ramona Flowers are here for your collection. This isn’t a major reveal but it does allow us to talk about Funko Soda line. I am quite excited about these vinyl figures as it brings back the Limited Edition format that realm made Funko a hit. These figures do look slightly odd but have a vintage charm to them that I like. Each can have a chase variant version and that stays true with these two Emerald City Comic Con reveals. Both chase variants do have a green color which I like since it is Emerald City. Both figures seem to be limited to only 4,000 pieces each, which is on the low end for this Funko Soda line so far. It is unclear what the price will be or where these will be available to purchase. They either will be shared with the Funko Shop or we are looking at an ECCC only collectible. 

“What is the website for Amazon.ca?”

Funko ECCC Reveals – “Starship Troopers” and “Grand Budapest Hotel”

The reveals continue as Funko reveals more collectibles that are headed to and coming out of Emerald City Comic Con. The convention doesn’t take place until March 12th but it looks like Funko can not contain their excitement. This time we are getting a Starship Trooper bug that will go nicely with the previous Starship figure. During San Diego Comic Con 2019 we saw a Johnny Rico Pop vinyl come out so now he has some target practice. We are also getting a special 2-pack this time from the 2014 film Grand Bupabest Hotel. If you are unfamiliar with the movie it shows off the tale of Gustave H, who is a legendary concierge European hotel. The story takes place between the wars and also shows off the lobby boy, Zero Moustafa, who ends up being Gustave’s most trusted friend and protege. Both of these figures seem a little bit off as convention exclusives but that doesn’t mean they won’t sell. It is unknown if these will be shared exclusives or only available at the ECCC. Funko will update up when and where we can purchase them.

“There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.”

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – DC Comics

The reveals just keep rolling out as Funko prepares our wallets for Emerald City Comic Con reveals. This time it looks like we are getting a glimpse at DC COmics as we get two announcements. The first one is from Funko’s newest product line Funko Soda. We covered the most recent reveal from London Toy Fair here. Each vinyl figure comes in a soda pop style package and features a wide line of licenses and this time Batman is going green. On top of the green Batman, you will have the possibility to get Chase variant of the figure with the Dark Knight sporting a pink suit. With this reveal being only 5000 LE, I would expect it to be a Funko Shop or an Emerald City Comic Con only exclusive. Moving on, we are also getting one DC Comics Funko Pop Viny in this reveal as Zatanna is ready to cast some magic on your collection. The design of this figure is pretty great and fans should be pleased with it. Stay tuned here at Bleeding Cool for where and when these figures will be available for you to purchase and Emerald City Comic Con takes place March 12 – 15.

“It doesn’t walk away clean. It doesn’t walk away at all! You want guilt? My name’s Zatanna Zatara.”

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – “Masters of the Universe”

Emerald City Comic Con Funko Reveals are usually related to the color green. From green chromes to green characters we see a nice homage to the Emerald City and get new collectibles. DBZ and D&D have already been shown so far and continuing with their reveals Funko has another two new Masters of the Universe Pop figures. The first is He-Man from the Slime Pit who is sporting an all green look with touches of red throughout. Now, this is a great ECCC exclusive figure as its green and can pull in the right fandom. If they could strap on a Limited Edition number on this one then he could be a new grail. Next, we are getting the infamous Tri-Klops who has some green armor ad will go great with the other Masters of the Universe figures. There will also be three PEZ MOTU coming out too which will surely excite some fans. No release information on where these will be going if they are to be marked as shared exclusives. Only time will tell when they will go or if they will stay as Emerald City Comic Con Only Exclusives. Stay tuned here at Bleeding Cool for more ECCC releases that will be announced throughout the day.

Bring on the Slime.

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – Dungeons & Dragons

Funko is not holding back on the reveals this year as Emerald City Comic Con reveals continue. We have already seen three figures from Dragonball Z and now we are getting one more from the Funko Dungeons and Dragons series. This isn’t a big reveal but this is a pretty awesome figure as you can see the slime has swallowed a skeleton whole. I wonder how clear the actual figure will be because it would be awesome to see the 3D screens of the final figure. No idea on if this Funko will be a Convention Exclusive or a Shared Exclusive and we will get more info the further we get to the Emerald City Comic Con. If they make this exclusive to the convention itself or at least limit to production size then this would be a nice Pop for fans. Only time will tell what where each figure will be coming and if I had to guess I would say GameStop or ECCC. The convention will start March 12 and end the 15 so stay tuned here at Bleeding Cool for more ECCC reveals and info on which figures will be shared.

It is time to go on a quest once again!

Funko Emerald City Comic Con Reveals – “Dragonball Z”

Emerald City Comic Con is still about a month away with it taking place between March 12-15 2020. Of course, this means new Funko exclusives are on their way and to start things off they have revealed new Pop Animation! Three Pop Vinyls from Dragonball Z has been shown, the first one being Vegeta eating noodles. This one will be a great companion piece to the Amazon Exclusive Goku eating noodles. You can pre-order him and you can find Goku located here. The next figure is another character getting a new Chrome version as Piccolo arrives. The final reveal for this wave of Emerald City Comic Con Funko Reveals is a special glow-in-the-dark Perfect Cell. This is currently my favorite reveals of this set and I can’t wait to see that glow! No idea yet if any of these how limited edition they will be or what ones will be shared exclusives. Stay tuned here at Bleeding Cool for any updates on what retailer will get these exclusives.

“At last. All that I have ever imagined is now mine. I have become what no other could ever achieve. I am perfect.”

Funko Announces New Wave of Major League Baseball Pop Vinyls

Funko does collecting right as they have such a wide variety of franchises under their belt. I love sports as much as the next guy and the way Funko has brought some real life player to the collectible circuit is awesome. They cover so much ground from wrestling, basketball, football, and even golf. Baseball fans can start their own collection now too as they announce a new wave of Pop Vinyl baseball players. There are 17 players getting released covering a lot of teams and that can ease many fans. These figures are slated to be released April 2020 and pre-orders for them all are already live and located here.

“Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood” is Getting a New Exclusive Funko Pop

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is easily on my list of top animes out there. The compelling story of two brothers, the massive world, and the long amazing cast of characters. This is a must watch for any anime fan or if you’re not used to this genre then this is a great starting point. As for true anime fans, collectibles are quite hard to find for some of your favorite series. Funko is a company that shines in that department as they have a lot of Pop Vinyl figures for them. Fullmetal Alchemist has quite a few too and after all this time we are finally getting another. Hot Topic recently announced that they will be getting an exclusive Funko Pop Vinyl from the iconic show. To step things up a notch one of the Seven Deadly Sins is making his appearance as Wrath aka King Bradley has arrived. This figure looks super badass and makes me hope we can start getting some more Funko Fullmetal Alchemist figures. To make things even better it looks like this Hot Topic Funko exclusive will also be getting a Chase variant that removes his eyepatch and shows us Ouroboros tattoo on his left eye. This figure is supposed to drop late in the month of February and will be in-store and online.

“Funkoverse” Game Series Launched, Expansions Coming

Hey there Funko POP! fans, get ready – there’s a new game series coming out for your entertainment!

Source: Funko

The Funkoverse Strategy Board Game is designed for two-to-four players, at ages ten and up. The core box, which prominently features four POP!-ified character pieces from DC Comics’s Batman, also has two basic characters (not shown), two maps (“Gotham City Streets” and “The Joker’s Carnival Chaos”), bases for the characters to stay put on, and a whole slew of accessories for use in this light strategy game.

Source: Funko

An interesting factor in this release is that this core game can be played as a standalone board game, or alternatively, can be combined with other Funkoverse board games and expansions for maximum fun. For example, the expansion pack for the DC Comics Batman game features two new POP! characters – Catwoman and Robin – and can be added to the core game for even more variance in characters, or…

Wait, what?! Source: Funko

… You could add Blanche or Dorothy (or any Golden Girl) to the game, and fight crime in that way. Yes, that is what I said.

Anyway, a fair few of these expansions are already out alongside the core game, and many more are projected to be on track to release on March 1st of this year. If you’re as crazy about Funko POP!s as I know a lot of you likely are, you should get your hands on these games as soon as you can, because I predict that they won’t stay on shelves for very long.

Coming March 1st, 2020. Source: Funko

What do you think about this phenomenal collaboration of brands? Do you collect Funko POP! figures? Are you planning on buying the game or any of its many expansions? Let us know your thoughts!

“M-Morty – I think we’re in a Fun*uuurp*ko POP!s Board Game, Morty!” Source: Funko

Funko Announces Four New Pokemon Pop Vinyl Figures

Pokemon fans can rejoice once again as new pocket monsters have been announced by Funko. There will be four new figures released in this wave and some are quite interesting choices. So far we have seen four other figures come out including the original starters and two different versions of Pikachu. Funko is now expanding their roster and three of the Pokemon are from the original monsters from the Kanto region and one from the Johto. First up is the lovable fire fox Vulpix who is just as adorable as ever. Next, we are getting Pikachu’s under evolved form, Pichu, who is just as cute as his evolved version. Mr. Mime is making his appearance in this wave too which is an interesting choice but with the success of Detective Pikachu they are staying in what is “in”. Finally, we are getting our first legendary Funko Pokemon as Mewtwo has appeared in the wild. This figure is badass and will be a welcomed addition to any fans collection. Pre-orders are already available for these Pop vinyls and you can find them all located here.

Gotta Pop them all!

Pop! Games: Pokémon

Grow your collection with the latest additions to the Pokémon line up featuring Pop! Vulpix, Pop! MewTwo, Pop! Mr. Mime, and Pop! Pichu.

Funko and PopCultcha Team Up to Help Australia Fires with Exclusive Pop

The Australia Fires have been a horror story this year as the embers still burn since July 2019. With over 3,000 human homes destroyed and over 17.9 million acres in total burned across Australia’s states. Everyone has been putting in an effort to help the people and animals who have lost their homes and the firefighters risking their lives to end this blaze. This time Funko has released a very beautiful Funko Pop vinyl figure that will help the Australia fires. This Pop figure features an adorable scene of a firefighter with a Koala showing a glimmering hope in this dark time. One of the part parts of this figure is that ALL proceeds are going to RSPCA National Bushfire Appeal. This will help so many people who are fighting and surviving down under in this harsh time. These figures will be a PopCultcha exclusive and are expecting to ship in June 2020, pre-orders are already live and located here. If you want to do more to help you can do so here. Every bit helps in time like this and you even get something for your donation towards such a great cause.
