San Diego Comic Con is a little less than a month away and all the hype surrounding Funko and its exclusives has the vinyl collectors in a frenzy. There will be plenty of variety as Funko has been announcing SDCC releases. The ten waves have finally been revealed and fanboys and con-goers alike will be pleased.
Just about every major licensee is represented. DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney and Doctor Who will all have a presence in this year’s exclusives. They will be released in these major lines of Funko collectibles: Pop Vinyls, Hikari, ReAction, Dorbz and Vinyl Idolz. With the 10th wave also came the announcement that Funko will begin producing official Pop Tees (the official T-shirt of Funko). Each shirt will come in its very own Pop Vinyl style box and they will depict all the favorite Pop Vinyl figures, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Black Widow from The Avengers.
Some of the pieces reflect this season’s summer blockbusters such as Avengers Age of Ultron, Inside Out and Ant-Man. Others pay homage to the classics such as Ghostbusters, T2 and Jaws.

Overall, there will be 10 waves of exclusives for a grand total of 56 figures and six Pop Tees. More than likely many of these pieces will have limited production runs which will be announced later. Also, make sure to check out all the latest prices of Funko figures in Beckett’s Funko price guide.

Does anyone know the booth number for Funko this year?
Booth #5341
I’d like to see Nintendo pops
Im doing that contest thing, WOULD DIE for a black out ant man. I would really like to see either 1.) A magnetic magneto, I think they make magnetic paint , or the ultron where hes in the body of one of Stark’s iron leigion , from Avengers: Age of ultron
A magnetic Magneto would be sweet!
Question of the day was which pop would you like to see? My answer is Willy wonka (gene wilder) and they could easily do other characters from movie. But funko definitely needs to do Willy wonka.
Personally I’d love to see funko make an Alice cooper pop. I think it would look so awesome!
Labyrinth! Jareth and Sarah in ballgown.
Would love to see Yuna from Final Fantasy! Or Nessa from Arrow
I’d like to see retro Disney Channel characters/actress in Funko since they do lots of Disney licences- Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay), Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) , etc.
I’d love to see a Bruce Lee pop.
I’d love to see a whole line of SNL Pops! I the line would be Blues Brother, Wayne’s World, Weekend Update, and maybe even the cowbell sketch.

I would like to suggest that a funk figure honouring the greatest hockey player the world has seen – The Great One Wayne Gretzky – and I would be able to display it next to my Gretzky Bobble Head (in Oilers uniform).
