On this week’s episode Flyguy and I talk about the surprise reveal (via auctions) 4 new super articulated figures for The Force Awakens, figures hitting retail and the imminent release of the Takodana Encounter set. Funko had a big reveal of 9 new POP! figures last week featuring characters from the Original Trilogy and the Prequels including more Walgreens exclusives. Lastly Episode VIII filming is well underway and we discuss new characters, vehicles, and beasts on set. All of this and much more on Episode #92 of The Realm Recap.
Last night, Funko streamed a live periscope video giving hints at the upcoming Cantina Smuggler’s Bounty Box coming in March. They stated (and reiterated via Twitter above) that the box will include two all new POP! figures* that will only be available in this box. If you wish to stay surprised, avoid watching the video.
Make sure your POP! collection is complete buy simply subscribing at SmugglersBounty.com by March 15.
*Han and Greedo shown above are not the exclusives issued in the box.
Walmart continues to be the store of choice (at the moment) for finding new 6″ Black Series figures. @Sandman804 tags us in this tweet with a store report from Virginia.
Today’s routine Target run proved fruitful today as I ran across a few new figures from The Force Awakens. Click the embedded tweet for shots of the Hassk Thug, Sidon Ithano with Quiggold and Snap Wexley with First Order Snowtrooper Officer.
Twitter follower @clonecustoms also sends word that the Snap Wexley/First Order Snowtrooper Officer and the Sido Ithano/Quiggold two pack are hitting Target, in Michigan, as well.
Twitter follower Bob Nash tags us with a great Target store find. Check out his scored from Michigan which include FN-2187, Unkar Plutt, Old Captain Rex and 12″ Rey.
Twitter follower @Z0rn send word that he found the Ezra’s Speeder Bike at Walmart this morning.
Walmarts are resetting their aisles this week and next (as evidenced by the new planograms posted in stores) so look for new product on your shelves soon.
