Don't visit Funko...NOW WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF!

Postby **swobobafett** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 1:00 am

...if you hate being treated AWESOMELY! Holy cow! It's a trip that I've wanted to do for the last 7 years and all I can say is that their hospitality was outta sight! Brian, Rob and Wilky were just way too generous and I can't thank them enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer to chat.

I will have some photos (of which I can share) that I will post when I get back home.

There are also some TOP SECRET AWESOME STUFF that everyone will flip out over in the next couple of months. Some seriously awesome stuff!

Nodniks and Funko Force are going to set the collectors world on fire!!!

more to follow...

Never saw it before.

Oh, and let's not forget what I came home with:

And some messing around with the camera:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MANY TIMES OVER!!! It was a great visit and I'd like to come back again!

Not pictured is a Boba Fett proto bank. I'm going to be giving that away with a contest that's going to happen during Comic Con. I think it will be something along the lines of "Where in the World is Swobobafett in San Diego" to get the proto. It will be for those who won't be going to Comic Con. So, learn your San Diego!

You know what, I didn't even notice that one. The only Peanuts Funkovision I knew of was the beach set from Comic Con. Maybe this was a one-off? Maybe it's this years?

I also don't know where the Clone Trooper Sinker is about. Rob didn't know either, hehe.
