Funko and its brands Loungefly and Mondo announced exclusive collectibles and merch for New York Comic Con (NYCC) from Disney, Godzilla, Marvel, and anime fandoms – plus much, much more. There’s an exclusive collectible for nearly every interest, plus an opportunity to play Funko Fusion!
Billed under Funko Airways — which first landed at Comic-Con International: San Diego in July — Funko plans to take flight and unload its cargo at Booth No. 1000 with limited-edition figures, apparel, and accessories. Superfans can secure a reservation to shop during the event; fans can peruse without a reservation and at their leisure after the booth fulfills its last reservation.
Funko Airways will offer storefronts – instead of gates – for Funko, Mondo, and Loungefly. There will also be a storefront for gameplay, where fans can play 1010 Games’ new release Funko Fusion. Though the NYCC exclusive items are limited, fans who can’t attend the con can purchase some exclusives online at funko.com, loungefly.com, and mondoshop.com. Fans who can visit in person may be rewarded with “free stuff” from the three brands, handed out at random or through gameplay. Funko has promised to provide more details online through @OriginalFunko.
