Yes they do. You get one if you attend Fun Days in July in San Diego. Also, Gemini Collectibles has them for sale the same weekend as SDCC.

I had no idea that you could get a BOF from Gemini. I thought you could just buy the Freddys. That is cool for the people not able to go to Fundays. When I bought my Freddys from Todd (Sting) I bought what he billed as the BOF but I never got the box. I noticed other people did so I can't wait for Fundays to get here so I can have that box!


Speaking of BOFs...I wonder if Lewis ever opened the one he bought?

The BOF comes with your Fundays registration...usually has 3 freddys in it...if he is going to have 8 freddys for example be part of the fundays' bofs, you will only get 3 in 1 BOF....Gemini typically has a few BOFs to sell after Fundays, not A lot.

Wait, I can't open them right away? That is no good. I am the one who unwraps my Christmas prsents because I NEED to know what is in them and then I put them back neatly wrapped under the tree. I am going to have to sit on my hands!!!

As you watch your husband get a blue haired Freddy in his Box of Fun at Fundays, an event that you paid for. He claims it as his own. He know the value, he knows what a 1 of 12 means. He will not give it up. He doesn't even collect Pop! :evil:

That's what I call my "spare room"....as that's where all the boxes go after I get a new Pop (just the mailing box) until I get everything broken down and take it to recycle. The pile at this point reaches the ceiling.

It's Fun of Boxes for sure

What is a BOF?
A BOF is a Box Of Fun. Sometimes Funko will send a random BOF to one or more of its collectors. Usually a BOF contains something very rare, such as a proto, a pre-production piece, or a limited-edition design.

That is what a BOF was way back in the day before there were so many funatics....nowdays it is pretty much synonymous with Fundays.

So if we get a BOF from gemini will it be unopened, or will they open it to see if the good stuff is in it? Yes I read the vague outdated faq and wanted a more current answer.

It's an unsealed cardboard box. They sold one before and it was opened and showed the contents.

FAQ updated from its ancient definition to include a more modern interpretation. Of course, what's to say that it is complete? When a box of prizes arrives from Funko for the board, couldn't it be considered as a BOF too? What about gifts for FDO events? Those would seem to be BOFs also. I guess if a bunch of fun items are placed inside a cardboard container, technically it's a BOF.

Or a funatic sends a gift of Funko to another funatic, that is also loosely considered a box of fun ?
