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.

"I used the stones to destroy the stones."

Funko Soda: The Hunt for the Chase – Robin Edition

Funko Soda is finally upon us and it's a great new collectible to get fans back into the game. We have already opened 4 cans so far with the first two being Crusader Rabbit and Green Hornet, which you can find here. We then opened Frankenberry and Fred Flintstone soda cans which you can find here. This time we got another can that went live on Hot Topic online but sold out pretty fast. This is, of course, our favorite Boy Wonder, Robin! This figure is limited to only 7,500 pieces with 1,200 of them being Chase variants. One of the best things about Funko's new Funko Soda is the fact that they are all limited edition and they all have a chance at a Chase variant. So let's not wait for any further and dive right into this review/ unboxing of the Robin Funko Soda.

I love the packaging for all of these figures and the soda aspect is just awesome touch. Each can usually show colors based on the vinyl figure inside so of course yellow and green collar are all over this can. These study packages are nice to show off as backdrops for your figures and look great on a shelf.

This time we are all seeing the unboxing together as I type. Inside the can we see the black nylon bag that each figure comes in. It only makes it more intense because you are just curious about your find. Each figure also comes in these bags and are even covered in bubble wrap for better protection. Inside the can, there is also the pog that showcases if we got a Chase or not. As we look into the Funko Soda can we are greeted with a smiling Robin looking back at us. The color does seem off though so I gotta shake the can to flip over the pog. BOOM! Wow, it looks like we have actually struck gold and found the Golden Robin Chase variant!

I am honestly quite surprised we actually got a chase with just a limited run of this figure. This is a great Chase and it goes well with the Batman Chase which is also golden. The design of this vinyl is pretty adorable and fits the Funko Soda line just fine. It's hard to compare the Chase to the normal since we have nothing to compare it to the solid shining gold on this Robin. It's still a nice figure that will easily pop in any Funko Soda collection.

Funko really has given us something special with their Funko Soda line. Each can is a surprise and if you can get your hands on one you already have something pretty limited. We were finally lucky enough to hit gold this time and that only makes me want to try my luck at more. You can find your own Funko Soda online and here!

Let's Take a Look at Funko's 'The Mandalorian' Baby Yoda POP!

Baby Yoda. The Child. Whatever name you want to use, merch of the instant fan-favorite character from the Disney+ Star Wars show The Mandalorian has been highly anticipated. Most of the figures and plushes have sold out on preorder, and with the Coronavirus wreaking havoc across the globe, who knows when we will be able to get our hands on most of it. Funko has even said the Baby Yoda is their highest selling POP of all-time, before it even shipped to stores. Luckily for fans, that day is today. Some Hot Topics and other e-tailers have received their supply, and we got our hands on one. So, let's look at the Baby Yoda POP, and see why it is one of the better ones ever made.

Right away, this one feels different for being housed in a sideways box. Funko has done these before, most notably for Sexy Jeff Goldblum. For in box collectors, Baby Yoda will test your patience, as it won't look uniform on your display. Unlike other POPS though, because of the sideways packaging, the window box shows off the entire figure. It makes it feel special, which he is.

Look at him out of the box! The giant ears, the giant, high collar. The tiny arms sticking out. And those big eyes! This is a perfect figure of Baby Yoda. Striking his little Force pose, when I held it the first time, I couldn't stop staring at it. Even better is that the paint job on this one is perfect.

Yes, this is a must-own. The hype is real people. As stated, Hot Topic stores are receiving limited quantities right now, and online preorders are shipping. Be on the lookout!

Funko Knocks Their ECCC D&D Gelatinous Cube Out of the Park

Funko was put in a bind like most these last couple weeks, as they prepared for Emerald City Comic Con. Like every other con right now, it was canceled. Not letting that stop them, Funko has been holding a virtual con the last couple days, all leading to the release of their ECCC exclusives on their webstore and shared stores. One of those exclusives will be quite familiar to all of us Dungeons and Dragons fans- the Gelatinous Cube. Described as "a ten-foot cube of transparent gelatinous ooze, which is able to absorb and digest organic matter", it is either the best D&D monster or the worst. The people who think it is the worst are wrong though, and that Funko made one is fantastic. It is a shared exclusive with Gamestop, and we managed to get one today.

It is a little sad to see the Funko con sticker on these and know that it never took place. Nevertheless, this is the forth D&D POP made so far, and a good reminder that I still need to pick up the Mind Flayer, Minsc & Boo, and Asmodeus at some point.

Then, you take it out, and realize that this may be one of the best POPS of all-time. It is just so perfect. Translucent green plastic, that houses an unfortunate soul inside, down to his skull, shield, and sword. I love that Funko put the head on a spike so it looks like it is floating. It just look so gnarly and exactly like I would want a real Gelatinous Cube to look like. In my playing, my group has never encountered one, but hopefully I can DM some day and include it.

What a wonderful treat for D&D and role-playing fans. Thank you Funko, this put a smile on my face for sure, at a time when it was very much needed. Sold out on their webstore, you could still find it at Gamestops. Hurry though.

Funko Officially Gives Us a Look at the Final "Legend of Korra" Pops

Funko showed off a lot of upcoming Pop figures during the London Toy Fair and it looks light some are getting actually announcements. This time the long awaited cartoon series and the sequel to Avatar the Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra. This series will easily fly off shelves and the final non concept design are amazing. The only thing missing from this reveal is the elusive Chase that was shown for the Hot Topic exclusive Korra. The Funko Chase was not canceled and Hot Topic recently stated that it will still be coming to stores. This is a series that fan has been wanting for quite some time and it's a reef to know that they are still coming out. Pre-orders for all of the commons are still love and you can find them located here. No ETA has been given on the Hot Topic exclusive just yet so stay vigilant to their social media for noted drop dates. With the popularity of this series and the rise in Funko Anime Pops, I would not be surprised to see more figures come out of this wave.

Wind. Water. Earth. Fire.

Coming Soon – Pop! Animation: The Legend of Korra
