As the holidays roll closer and closer, Funko is starting to release information about what the biggest vinyls will be for the end of the year. Surprisingly, some are movie related while others fit more in a classic pop culture category. Basically, the releases are exciting but also somewhat bland for what fans may have been hoping for. Everyone, however, will still be able to get something that will fit nicely in to their collection.
One of the biggest releases to hit stores right now are the chrome multi-colored Marvel Thanos pops. Literally one of each color of the rainbow are now available at Wal-Mart stores. Specifically, all seven pops are Wal-Mart exclusive pops. For anyone that also got any of the gold chrome Marvel figures, all of these Thanos variants will fit in just fine, or they would make an amazing gift. The hardest part will be finding a store that not only has every single figure but also has the specific color you might want.
The next figure that is iconic to many dedicated collectors is the Gamer Mickey that is just now starting to come to some stores across the U.S. Mickey is featured with a red sweatshirt a controller and a pair of red gaming headphones. This Mickey is part of the 90th anniversary collection that released last month and has a yellow box. Gamers everywhere are looking to add Mickey to their collection if they can grab one at Gamestop.
For the newest announcements, Funko has revealed that a new line of Lord of the Rings vinyls will be coming soon. This collection will feature Legolas, Boromir and Gimli as well as exclusives to Barnes and Noble and Hot Topic. Galadriel will be in her normal form and she will have an exclusive in her tempted state. The two other pops will be the Witch King and the Dunharrow King (my two favorites) will be commons. All of them look amazing and true to the movie, hopefully other lovers of the movie will find these just as adorable.
Overall, Funko has a lot of news rolling through about their upcoming releases so many more pops are on the way! Soon, too, the Christmas pops will be announced for everyone on your shopping list. Get your lists going now while Funko is now preparing these releases or else you might miss out.
