SDCC 2016 Pop! Discussion

[HaloHawk87]

Nothing from wave 6 that I'm interested in. I got excited when they mentioned GoT, but was letdown when they showed that it was just a Dorbz 3-pack, an easy pass for me. I'm not a fan of Dorbz, and Joffrey is my least favorite character on the show.

[TheCollector]

So far gonna try for Grodd,golden Freddy,false god superman,doctor strange,doomsday and merlin

[T-Diamond Stylus]

Just going for Grodd and Doomsday. The Conan Joker is a huge maybe for me but it be a cool one to own if the right price would come up on ebay.

[Loki437]

The haunted mansion ghosts are definitely my #1 priority. Lots of variety throughout though which is very nice for us collectors.

[Kr15h]

Really digging the false god superman and haunted mansion pops

Fingers crossed

[hawkman2]

Only 2 more reveals?

[JohnnyPOP]

:bounce: Only 2 more reveals?

2-4 more. They weren't very clear. Definitely 2 more, maybe up to 4 more.

[Indy Viper]

MASSIVELY hoping for Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, Harry Potter & Star Wars...mainly GoT.

there is a very odd GoT Dorbz set. Joffrey, The Hound and for some odd reason a Walker.

I saw those, but Dorbz have never appealed to me. Since this is the Pop forum, I figured that went without saying, but my bad for not being clearer.

But we have to get an SDCC Pop this year, I mean- how long's it been since we got one- Headless Ned? Was that the last GoT SDCC Pop?

[hawkman2]

I hope more reveals, doesn't seem like as many exclusives as last year.

[zOnesTarX]

Nothing crazy yet for me, I do like the superman, and 3 pack GoT dorbz. Other then those not much else. Wish I could get a HP or Hobbit exclusive

Flocked Ghost was the last one, but yeah not a great showing for GoT fans. I expect one to be announced Monday after the season finale.

[sdcccrasher]

Interesting comment from Yoko in the most recent Youtube video. We may have more waves than originally thought. She said we will definitely have two more waves, but we may have 3-4 more waves. As far as we are concerned ... keep those waves coming!!!

[stroud1492]

I hope we get some good Disney...wouldn't mind some more OUAT either.

[poppetmaster]

and Joffrey is my least favorite character on the show.

At least I am not the only one! He went out like the little turd he was though!

he was at least fun to hate though, not like Ramsy and the other Snidely Whiplash cartoony mustache twirling "villains" the show has produced as of late that you just want to die because they're so darn ridiculous.

This sounds really good. Hopefully cuts down on the traffic and mass confusion at the booth. Does anyone have any tips for getting tickets from the Salis Pavilion?

Somewhat off topic since this is a pop forum, but imo Ramsay's biggest problem is that he was written more as a figure in Theon/Reek's chapters, so you never saw him quite as face-on as you do on the show. He's a great villain/sociopath when viewed through the filter of another character, but a bit one-note when that dimension is left out. If that makes sense.

To make this on topic, I will say that the idea of a Wun Wun 6" is a great one! Tho speaking of Pop Rides, I wonder if they'll ever do horse back for GoT! They did dragon back, I believe. I could also see a blind!Arya variant, and maybe finally a Tormund or Yara/Asha figure!

YES!!! No more booth craziness!! I'm sure it will still be a pain to try to get a ticket, but this is a much needed improvement!

Wun Wun would be amazing, but I really do feel a bloody Ramsy could be this years exclusive.

People still end up waiting...on two lines now...and it doesn't make it actually smoother for anyone but the people working the booth. I went through the line at sdcc last year and I did the ticket to get on the line thing at nycc last year as well and I didn't see how it improved anything to be honest...less pushing and shoving?

[sdcccrasher]

Funkos' issues are unique. When you purchase you can buy one or 60-80 items. What the Sails Pavillion will really help with is the booth personnel.There will be a pre-determined number given out (at Sails), who can line up and no one else that day. Therefore, there will not be the pushing and shoving, trying to get in the line to get to the booth. That is why we believe your opportunity to make it to the booth will be determined by getting in the line outside the Convention Center early in the wee hours of the morning. If Funko decides, on the other hand, that it should not be based on first come, first serve, but a lottery, then early gets you the same opportunity as anyone else (so just sleep in until 9 or 10 am because you will have an equal chance) until the days tickets have been drawn.

Less pushing and shoving is a definite plus! The mad dash across the floor is not fun, tho I get that the mad dash to Sails could be a different kind of pain. I think the crowd control is the most important part. It gets pretty dangerous over there and I'm actually surprised the fire marshall never showed up. Plus, I will take anything that means that long-haired angry dude doesn't yell at me, like the past year or so. That dude is horrible!

[sdcccrasher]

Sails will have a lot going on when the convention first opens. Tough choices for everyone. Chance lines for autograph sessions, mainstays like Bandai, Hasbro and now Funko. The main thing is determining where each opportunity is. Remember, we rush to our choice, then stand there for an hour or so until the staff comes to award you for getting there first and then standing ... waiting!!!

A 6 in wun wun would be amazing
I doubt it'll be a convention excl but if/when there is another GoT wave I could see a short hair cersei a blind Beth would be cool too.

Did they call her blind Beth in the show? Or was it just blind Arya, this season has been all over the place on one hand I forget most of what happened, on the other I cant believe we are already at the finale.

[Mr Yac]

they didn't call her anything to my knowledge. pointless though it may be to dream i'm still hoping for a few book related pops someday.

Certainly agree with this statement. The sails pavilion will have a whole ton of lines and people. I hope they have the lines pre planned as this will likely be another massive crowd in an already crowded area. A SDCC line volunteer I would not want to be!

[emk194]

Oh, crap. I want that cowboy Deadpool. Gaaahhhh.

[Themadpatter]

I'm also in the camp of hoping there's a GoT Pop exclusive

[Valde]

I believe.

Spoiler: show

Not sure if it's a spoiler but shirtless scared Jon Snow would be cool.

Soooo are the waves of exclusives the only things that show up at comic con? Or are these just the ones that show up at comic con AND also show up in stores like B&N or Hot Topic?

The waves are the exclusives that Funko sells at their booth at SDCC, plus a few that will be selling at other booths instead, like Toy Tokyo. Some of the figures sold at their booth will ONLY be sold at SDCC (usually the ones that state the number of pieces made), and other figures will be sold a third party stores like B&N and Hot Topic.

Toy Tokyo shares a booth with funko so that's why they reveal the exclusives at the same time as them

Oh yeah, that's true! I was thinking how it is at NYCC, where I believe Toy Tokyo has been separate the times I've been. I remember now that their number at SDCC is basically within the Funko footprint. A few years ago someone asked me to get them something from Toy Tokyo at SDCC and when I tracked them down I realized how ridiculous that request was, .

[Mikey8815]

Ah I see now, thanks for the info! Do you guys know if the star wars celebration pops will show up in stores? Or do only comic con pops come to stores?

[lunarembrace]

Hoping there really are 3-4 more waves coming! I love seeing all of the exclusives, even though my list is fairly short this year. Hoping for some awesome GoT and a few (JUST A FEW) more Disney! I think #1 on my list right now is Cursed Barbossa, and second is Pajama Jack. Maybe it's a tie, though. Jack is one of my most favorite characters. On the fence about getting the Willy Wonka set, but would be nice to still pick up Violet since she won't be available for long. And crossing my fingers for Dug with the cone.

So exciting!

Just saw B&N flyer for the exclusives. They are emphasizing everything will sell out super fast, and only 2 per person. Glad my husband is going with me!

[0ShadowStories]

i do hope they mean 2 of each per person because 2 total per person would be stupid.

[treswright]

Last year it varied from store-to-store both at B&N and HT. I went to one HT store that was enforcing 3 exclusives TOTAL per person and no hot cash on exclusives, then I drove 10 miles to another that was enforcing 3 OF EACH exclusive per person and they were allowing hot cash. I only went to one B&N and they were enforcing 2 of each, but I read reports of other stores enforcing 2 total. I think in both cases the instructions from their corporate offices were confusing and thus the inconsistent application.

[Valde]

Today I'm guessing something GoT, Marvel and horror.

[grandpa_stern]

Oh, I'm down for some Horror Pops!
