@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.
FYE.com is now taking preorders for their exclusive POP! Knight of Ren (Heavy Blade) figure from The Rise of Skywalker.
Thanks to @acrossthestars on Twitter for the heads up.
It appears that Walmart has a secondary (and correct) UPC and Walmart SKU for the new 6″ Black Series Yoda (Force Spirit) and armed with that info, you can find the proper placeholder page on Walmart.com. We have updated our Master List to reflect this new info. Thanks to Frank H. for the heads up.
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).
Don’t give up on finding the TVC Jabba’s Palace playset at a Walmart store. Some locations that have been terrible for stocking Star Wars in recent months are starting to get these in stock.
Let us know what the scene is at your local Walmart after the jump!
The promotion of this new show is really taking off as new TV spots air with different footage from the first season.
