it's the great pumpkin charlie brown

I'm going to need all of these. This is my favorite Peanuts special ever!!! Where's Linus with his "Welcome Great Pumpkin Sign"? Will there be a Red Baron? The Ghost Charlie Brown and the WWI flying ace Snoopy is adorable. I'll take one of each! And maybe a second Snoopy for my dad (that's his favorite Peanuts segment ever).

Speaking of the Red Baron, I always loved the Peanuts, but Snoopy and the Red Baron was by far my favorite subset of the series. One of my favorite art tributes was a painting done by my old (and now departed) friend Dave Deal, it was used for a Revell model box cover in the 1970's:

Makes me chuckle every time I see it, it is so typical of Dave's humor :-)

-Not sure if Walgreens exclsuives or not, but I don't think that they are. No stickers or wording in the description to indicate otherwise. They do have a 50-year celebration tag on the back so I am assuming wide release.
-They are coded as seasonal so should be in the Halloween set somewhere. I have not seen the plan yet so I don't know how they will be merchandised.
-Each case comes with 8 pieces. (3) Snoopy, (3) Charlie, (1)Lucy, (1)Ghost Charlie.

I will post more pics when I get the okay to, as well as more info when I have time to find it. I will say i have seen some on ebay already.bOtherwise mods feel free to delete this if it's too soon to be talking about these.

Is there any chance Walgreens can just check a number to see if they have them? Kind of like Target's DCPI system? I'm tired of the people on the line not having a clue what a Pop is.

Yes, it is called a WIC number

according to the popvinyls.com guy on FB, it's supposed to be "first to market", apparently Funko will have a blog post about it.

I'd assume it's Walgreens exclusive until the week before or week of Halloween then they go wide.

Anyone happen to have the number for the assortment?

Yes yes yes! THIS! Please! Linus dressed as a shepherd with his blanket on his head!

These were authorized distro last week for the Halloween set, so every store that sets a normal Halloween aisle will have these right now. Some stores, see pictures on page one, mistakenly placed these in their toy aisle.

Just an fyi, stores were also authorized a case of Nightmare Before Christmas Pops, which includes three Jacks, three Sallys, a Zero, and an Oogie Boogie.

Funko just posted the glams:

So, this are first to market but they do not have a red sticker like HT, am I correct?

Postby **popoy** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 6:58 pm

They so cute!

Postby **Gray** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 7:20 pm

Loooove these.

Postby **jambes** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 7:39 pm

The wics for these is 942381
If you find someone who has them, they are not linked to the basic sets in the toy aisle and will most likely be mixed into their Halloween merchandise. Probably in the stockroom.

Here are some pics of Snoopy. I have been on remodels all month, one of the employees at this store already pulled out the other two. I will get pics when I go back to mine.

Postby **stroud1492** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:10 pm

My local store got them, but hasn't sorted their Halloween merchandise yet. The manager said he'll put them aside for me when they start working on their Halloween section

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:50 pm

Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open. Gonna be hitting Walgreens hard until I find these!

Postby **The POP Lady** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:28 pm

Just left Walgreens in Jersey and NOTHING!!! Happy to know other retailers will get them. HOPE these are easy to find. Good Luck everybody

Postby **jambes** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:43 pm

I wouldnt expect to see them on the shelf right now. It's August. Halloween is in October. We still are getting our deliveries.

Postby **RoboFist** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:47 pm

Employees here have said that they're specifically for their Halloween set-up, which isn't going to be up until probably mid-September. That's when I'd start my hunting spree.

Postby **nyel24** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:50 pm

These are very cool. Really digging snoopy.

Postby **wsm10** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 11:01 pm

I'm liking the fact that they're throwing some money behind these guys. I was afraid that we wouldn't get much more from the peanuts line since it seemed like the first wave seemed to be everywhere on clearance minus the con exclusives. Now give me some Garfield Halloween & Christmas specials figures! Or just any Garfield figures at all for that matter. I can only imagine how fun that meeting would be for the rights to him.

Halloween feels like it's ages from now, but I'm definitely in for a set. I've had decent luck at Walgreens, so I will hopefully end up with one of each! I'm welcoming the cooler fall weather as well.

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 12:47 am

These look very cool. I might consider getting Snoopy if I see him, but not a priority. I need to save up for the onslaught of Rogue One merch that will be coming this fall, so some non-SW Pops that I would normally buy will likely be a pass for me until after Christmas.

Postby **Sunshine29102** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 12:58 am

Halloween is my favorite holoday, and this set hits me right in the nostalgia. Must haves (but
pobably "won't gets" because, you know, Walgreens).

Postby **Thrillofthehunt** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 1:16 am

Love these! It's definitely my fav peanuts special. And my daughter love it too

I'm so happy it's just a early release for walgreens, it means I'll actually find them...at another store lol

I saw these today at Walgreens it was definitely tough to pass up. I hope there are more holiday themed Pops on the way :]

Same!!! My dad loves this special (so do I!) but it's his absolute favorite. I'm going to have to get him his own set.

I'm surprised they're in stores already. What state?

Edit: stopped at a local Walgreens just for the heck of it and was shocked to see the full set right there with the overstock of wave one of the Star Wars exclusives. Picked up the set, left the extras of snoopy and Charlie brown.

Surprisingly, also snagged an iron spider, taskmaster, and glow spidey. Haven't seen any of these in stores in several months. No GG though.

Postby **stroud1492** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 7:17 pm

Picked them up at Walgreens tonight

They're super cool!!

Sorry guys, looks like no Linus in this set.

Looks pretty cool. Bummer it wasn't working. I'm happy with the Ghost CB in his place though.

Postby **Stragon** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 10:41 pm

Maybe next time we will get Linus.

Postby **batcave** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 10:57 pm

Since they don't get dressed in costumes, I'm just going to get the regular Linus and Sally and put them with small pumpkins around them. Maybe with Snoopy rising up among the pumpkins....

Postby **RoboFist** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:20 pm

Aww, I would've loved a Linus! His arc is the best in the movie!

Still, whenever I think of It's The Great Pumpkin, my mind immediately goes to Charlie Brown's ghost costume and his collection of rocks. As much as Linus will be missed in this collection, I'm REALLY happy Ghost Charlie Brown took his place!

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:26 pm

Bummed about Linus but Charlie is my favorite in the set!!! I'll live.

Postby **HeadlessNed** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:31 pm

IMO a Linus just holding that sign with the somewhat crazed look would be good without pumpkins.
