this exclusive belongs to one of the vendors who exhibits in Frank and Sons Collectible Show here in SoCal. For anyone in the area, he's the guy with the giant wall of Pop running along the outside of their booth. You can preorder it by sending $25 to their paypal Toysmania888@gmail.com with a limit of 3 per household.

Idk if this is a legit product or a custom. This reminds me of the Gold Mushu and Cricket Tom's Model exclusive. Anybody know what category that falls into? Legit release or customs?

Its kinda weird that it just popped up on Instagram. Wouldn't Funko announce this first if it was official?

I'm gonna pass because I'm not down with just sending money through Paypal and hoping my preorder arrives. If you can't afford a legit way through a website to sell this then you probably shouldn't have an exclusive IMO.

its just weird to me they would give a exclusive to a guy that just sells at franks and sons. I don't believe he has a website where he sells.

Funko doesn't "give" people exclusives like blessings from on high. Anyone with a Funko retail account and enough money can produce whatever exclusive they want and distribute it wherever they want.


Not saying this figure is legit, but just fyi.

So I read the post on Instagram. It's some guy who says to send him $25 or $27 if you want a pop protector. Gives his PayPal. No official order form or receipt. Yes, I know you're protected with PayPal. Also l, just says a limited number of pre orders available but doesn't share how many and hasn't updated the post with anymore information.

There isn't any mention of these being limited so I imagine their shop at Franks is gonna have these after Anime Expo. I flip-flop between whether I want one or not because I already have the regular version and am not a big Voltron fan already. I may cave in if I ever run across it at their shop.

If you've got the money and business know how to get an exclusive piece from Funko and participate in a good sized convention like that, I can't personally see why you wouldn't have the good sense to organize at least a two page website to take orders if you're also offering them online. I love the piece and want one as well, but I'm weary of the process even with PayPal involved. I'm a small retailer myself and I'm happy to see a little guy get a decent exclusive but jeez Louise, crawl before you walk and get a little shopify site going so things look legit and people can purchase with confidence. Am I wrong?

No I agree with you 100%. Posting you have something on instagram and telling people to send money to a paypal address just seems scammy even if it isn't a scam. I like this piece and alot of trusted sources are saying its legit but I'll personally pass. I mean its Voltron so he'll prolly make his money back but how many people is he gonna have to refund and how long is that going to take?
