Unsold Funko Product Hitting Landfills and Not Being Recycled or Donated

https://twitter.com/MayTheFunkoBWY/status/1192494879512776704

@MayTheFunkoBWY on Twitter shared the above behind the scenes video of thousands of unsold Funko products (Smuggler’s Bounty boxes and others) being destroyed rather than recycled or donated to charities. It is unknown where this is taking place or if Funko is directly aware.

As a long time supporter and promoter, this is hugely disappointing. Funko needs to address this situation before it irrevocably damages the brand and its shareholders.

6” Jedi Luke and Force Spirit Yoda Hitting Walmart

Keep and eye out at your local Walmart as several stores from across the U.S. have started receiving and setting prefilled aisle shippers that include both of these figures.

Update: I hit up my local Walmart (Blaine, MN) at about midnight and found the new pallet with 6” Ghost Yodas, Jedi Lukes, TVC Yavin Lukes and the 3 new gold prequel Skywalker Saga sets. Over in the regular aisle they had several 5” GOA Jedi Lukes and a dozen TVC Lando (Skiff Guard).
