Funko Funkoween All the Spooky Reveals in One Place

Funko Funkoween was a nice break from reality to see what will be upon us in the future. Of course this whole reveal was themed around Halloween and Horror. This is not a bad thing as horror fans never have enough collectibles out there and Funko sure delivered. We got some amazing confirmations of some Pop lines teased during the Toys Fairs earlier this year and some new waves entirely. Some of these very pleasant surprises like Zombieland getting their Pop debut and will have a Zombie Bill Murray. Edward Scissorhands will be returning to the Funko Pop game since 2013 with a whole new wave of figures. Other big list reveals were Corpse Bride where both characters from the Tim Burton animated film get Pop-ified. One of my favorite announcements was the Marvel Zombies figures. Not only is there common reveals but the wave is getting retailer exclusives, mystery minis, and some kick ass Funko Pop tees. These figures are the perfect combination of superheroes and horror in a very fun and amazing way.

All of these reveals were very well done and get us excited for the fall. There were a lot of big moves getting new Funko Pops in the future like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, The Craft, Scoob, and even Child's Play. From a 10" Chucky to the Chase Mayor from Nightmare Before Christmas there are plenty of things to get excited about. Most of these Funko Funkoween Pop reveals we're common releases and you will be able to pre-order them here. Of course with collecting there are exclusives so check the photo gallery below to find out what figures you need to be in the lookout for. Some retailer exclusive pre-orders are available today but others won't drop till the August and September 2020 release dates. Check out all of the Funko Funkoween Reveals below. What was your favorite reveal for Funkoween?

In honor of the first responders on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, Funko is excited to announce the new line of Pop!

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.
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.

Creepshow Brings the Thrills for Funkoween with Funko Pops

The horrors of Funkoween continue as we dive into some scary stories. The terrifying tales of the Creepshow have arrived with three new Pop vinyls. We saw these figures revealed during the Toy Fair but like we know it's not always for certain they will make the final cut. With changes in licenses, design, and production rights, any reveal from the Toy Fairs could not make the shelves. So it is nice to know that Creepshow is coming and ready to bring the tales of horror and suspense with this wave of figures. The remake of Tales of the Crypt was a surprise to see on Shudder and Funko did the best they can to bring some of those horrors alive. Of course, the storyteller, The Creep, will be included in this wave showing off his new design. The spooky ghoul is wearing a grey cloak and is holding a comic book. Funko has plenty to pick from these tales of horror and suspense and they ended with two monsters with the Scarecrow and the Genie. These monsters are nicely designed and would be a nice delight for any fans collection.

I hope we can see more waves of the Creepshow come from Funko later on. The Shudder series has a lot of monsters and creatures to pick from and I'm sure a lot of fans and I would love collectibles of them. Some of the best ones I think Funko should have a crack at next are the werewolf, Nessie, and the alien known as Bob. The success of this wave will defiantly determine the wave this series will take place in collectors' homes. All of these figures are set to release this month. Pre-orders for The Creep, Scarecrow, and Genie are still live and you can find them located here. Stay tuned for more Funkoween reveals from Funko as they come. What Creepshow Monsters would you like to see become Pops next??

Community: Joel McHale, Ken Jeong and Danny Pudi Discuss Everything

In just about twenty-four hours (depending on when you read this), fans of NBC and Yahoo! Screen's Community will be sitting back and enjoying Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, Donald Glover, and series creator Dan Harmon's charity reunion table read of fifth season episode "Cooperative Polygraphy". Set to air Monday, May 18, starting at 2 pm PT., the read-through has tapped a friend of the show to sit in for Walton Goggins as Mr. Stone: The Mandalorian lead Pedro Pascal. We're pretty sure by now that you're sold on checking it out. After the previously-released teaser (see below) and the study group's time on The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale, who wouldn't be?

The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale welcomed Danny Pudi to the show.
The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale welcomed Danny Pudi to the show.

Jeong and McHale created the video podcast series as a way of reaching out to Community fans during this time of self-isolation and social distancing. While they're more than happy to take your questions about the popular series, the show covers a wide range of topics and also looks to what the audience wants to debate/discuss. But with the big event happening tomorrow, you'll understand why the duo released an episode's worth of serious quality time with Pudi. Over the course of the episode, the actor covers a wave of diverse topics: from his days working at the United Center during Chicago Bulls games to his new Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest. Oh, and a whole lot Community speak for fans to eat up and enjoy:

 

As much as we're sure the study group's getting back together because of how much they missed each other, they're also doing it for a good cause. Viewers 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. Now, the cast is giving you a way to donate and walk away from it possibly the luckiest Community fan in the world. Over at the group's Prizeo site (here), you can make a donation that earns you "entries" and rewards (though you don't have to donate to enter). The more you donate, the more entries you get to submit, and the greater your chances are at the Ultimate Community Fan Package.

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.
