The Funko Forecast
Get ready for the Funko Forecast! This is where we’re going to be showcasing all of the cool new announcements and reveals from Funko! With all of the awesome that consistently seems to be flowing out of those guys, it shouldn’t be hard to keep this section alive each and every week!
Marvel-ous New Funko Products
Once again Funko is delving into the Marvel Universe for an infinite number of new collectibles you won’t want to miss! First up we’ve got a new wave of POP! Vinyls based on this summer’s blockbuster smash hit ‘Avengers: Infinity War’! The new wave includes a 6″ super sized POP! of Eitri The Dwarf (who is an Amazon exclusive), plus new versions of Groot (with Stormbreaker), Young Gamora, Bucky Barnes, and Bruce Banner (Hulking Out)!
In addition to these new POP! Vinyls, Funko also announced a new Black Widow Rock Candy figure as part of the ‘Marvel Studios: The First 10 Years’ line. This Black Widow figure appears to be based on her appearance in ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’.
