Yep yep! Going to the magical Funko offices on Wednesday. To say I am stoked is an understatement, I will make sure to take tons of pics of what I am allowed.

So jealous. One day I hope to make the journey.

Postby **Alleycat** » Sun Feb 03, 2013 4:08 pm

Have fun. Have you made arrangements to meet with Brian?

Postby **OpTicDi3seL** » Sun Feb 03, 2013 4:16 pm

I was able to go by contacting them. I have quite a name for myself in the gaming world, they call me a gaming "celebrity" but I am not a fan of that title. You can kind of get an idea of the impact I have by simply looking at twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/opticdi3sel ). I emailed them asking if it was possible for me to tour the facility and they quickly got back.

Just between us
I think Brian hides all the rare pops there, it is your mission if you you chose to except it, to find and obtain all them. This message will self destruct in five seconds :bom:

What constitutes someone as being a "gaming celebrity"?

Having 40k followers is a start :grin:

Postby **FunkoH** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 12:20 am

Yah I saw that, that's nuts! But how does one become a gaming celebrity? I'm curious!

Postby **OpTicDi3seL** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 12:22 am

I have no idea how it happened. One day I was just like ummmmmm. REALLY?!!?!

I'm very big into gaming but definitely not a professional (only in knowledge not skill) lol

. What games do you play professionally?

Postby **wraithkelso** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 1:07 am

my mom actually worked for Funko for a time back in 2008, but I never got to get a tour, that was when they were in the woodinville/bothell office

I am known more for the COD world more than anything. I am more of an entertainer than a "pro" player. I guess you can call me a professional akin the sense that I get paid to play, but I do not compete any longer.

Its Wednesday, how bout an update?

Postby **edorice** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:17 pm

Would love an update, since the sales thread is now shut down. Nothing else to do.

Postby **DocRamon** » Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:23 pm

well, this is awkward...

OpTicDi3seL, since that last post of yours... you know, while you were visiting funko... a lot has changed around here...
