Funko has been the King of SDCC Exclusives for over a decade now—and it looks like they’ll be holding onto that title for another year, with dozens and dozens of exclusives lined up to be released alongside San Diego Comic Con 2023 next week! And though Marvel has lost a few degrees of mainstream popularity over the last couple years, it’s no surprise that Funko has a half-dozen Marvel Pop exclusives available at the event—including MCU MODOK, Gorr’s Daughter and more!

Funko Marvel Collector Corps boxes have managed to live on for far longer than I ever, ever expected—so much so that I was only vaguely aware Amazon was still distributing them at all. But I’m a sucker for Baby Groot, which is why I must have ordered two (and forgot about them until they showed up on my doorstep) of the Funko Marvel I Am Groot Collector Corps box. Was this MCC box worth returning for? Here’s my unboxing and review…

The once-unthinkable happened last week, when longtime niche “B-List” fan-favorite character Moon Knight became a household name to millions and millions of Disney+ viewers who had never been exposed to the character previously. And a new boost in notoriety also means new merch! Hasbro, Diamond Select Toys, Funko, Hot Toys and more are all answering the call with newly-revealed Moon Knight figures, including Marvel Legends, Marvel Select and even POP Vinyls!

Just when it looked like Funko had managed to squeeze out every possible penny from countless canonical variants of the most iconic Marvel characters, they had a devilishly ingenious idea for this year’s Holiday Marvel POP Vinyls figures series. I instantly fell in love with the Funko POP Gingerbread Spider-Man figure, and had my pre-order locked in as soon as listings for the series went up in August. And now that Gingerbread Spidey has arrived…? I am not at all disappointed. In fact, I want more POPs in this stylized form…

If anybody had ever told me a few years ago that I would legitimately love a wacky, pirate captain Hellfire Club Red King version of Kitty Pryde, I would have said they were out of their freaking minds. But then the Jonathan Hickman era of X-Men arrived, bringing with it Marauders Kate “Don’t Call Me Kitty” Pryde, and my heart grew three sizes that day. I’ve been hoping for a statue or at least a Marvel Legends figure of her ever since, but the first piece of merch for the character is neither: the Previews EXCLUSIVE Funko POP Kate Pryde & Lockheed figure is now up for order online! Hold Fast!!

With there being hundreds upon hundreds of Marvel Funko POP Vinyls figures out there now (no, seriously—there’s well over 500 now), I long since gave up on trying to keep pace and collect them all. As such, it’s been a little while since I wrote my last Marvel POP unboxing and review. But Entertainment Earth kindly sent over some of the latest WandaVision POP Vinyls figures for me to review, so let’s take a look at the newest Funko POP WandaVision Scarlet Witch, Agatha Harkness and Monica Rambeau figures!

We’re just over a week out from the Disney+ debut episode of “What If…?”, the first canonical MCU animated series—but whether anyone has seen the show or not, reveals of the merch for the show is rolling out at a pretty steady pace! Amazon has opened pre-orders for their Exclusive Funko POP Year of the Shield Peggy Carter Riding Hydra Stomper figure, and Hot Toys is getting in on the action as well by debuting their one-sixth scale Captain Carter and humongous Hydra Stomper figures!

Marvel Zombies fans went through a long dark age for merchandise where no Marvel heroes were allowed to be made into toys and collectibles anymore (although villains were okay). But that time is at an end, and the zombie invasion is upon us again–this time, from Funko!

GameStop Exclusive Zombie Venom ►

Eight days remain until the start of the 2020 New York Toy Fair, but today Funko had two brand-new Marvel POP Vinyls that just couldn’t stand to wait another week to be revealed: the exclusive Funko POP Spider-Man vs. Venom diorama and Punisher War Machine are now up for order! And not only are these strongly comic-based figure designs—they’re also going to be available with actual variant comic books! Combining variant covers and exclusive figure releases in one, has Funko hit a sweet spot here for Marvel collectors?

When Funko started seriously building an X-Men POP Vinyls sub-series of Marvel figures a few years back, diehard fans immediately started demanding two characters who rose to iconic status in the 90s—Rogue and Gambit! It’s actually taken a surprisingly long time to get to the 90s Jim Lee power couple, but the wait is over at last: Funko POP Rogue and Gambit figures are finally up for order—including an EE Exclusive Glow in the Dark Gambit POP!

Just like you should never underestimate a droid, you should never underestimate Funko. When Funko launched their inaugural Venomized POP Vinyls in 2018 featuring characters like Venom Hulk and Captain America, I thought the series would find a niche audience and then fizzle. Instead, they’re kicking off 2020 with a third wave of the best-selling line: Funko POP Venomized Punisher, Ultron, Miles, Baby Groot and more are now up for order! And oh yeah—there’s a Hot Topic Exclusive Green Goblin Venom up for PO as well…

The Fantastic Four has basically been a “nuclear” property merch-wise for quite a few years now, with very little in the way of toys and statues being released aside from a few retailer exclusive Marvel Legends. But it appears that the floodgates have now been opened, and Funko is rushing in to capitalize with a massive number of new related F4 figures: the Funko Fantastic Four POP Vinyls and Mystery Minis are now up for order, including the whole team, Doom, Galactus and more!

One of the dumbest things I ever did as a Funko POP Vinyls collector was sell a bunch of my rare and limited figures for peanuts in 2014 when I wrongly thought the Funko bubble was due to burst. It’s half a decade later and POPs are as hot as ever so clearly I was wrong. One vinyl I foolishly sold for 20 bucks was the ECCC 2013 green Phoenix exclusive, which I’ve never had the willpower to rebuy for hundreds of dollars. But now, I won’t have to: a Funko POP Glow-in-the-Dark Green Phoenix exclusive figure is now up for order!

Ready or not, here New York Comic Con 2019 comes! We’re under one month out from NYCC 2019 now, and while it’s unclear exactly how full of new announcements and products this year’s show will be (and we likely won’t know until the event actually begins), we at least now know a handful of the NYCC 2019 Exclusives: Funko POP Stan Lee in Spacesuit, Captain Mar-Vell, Classic Nick Fury & Ms. Marvel and more!
