Among their many, many skills, I think we can add “mind-reading” to Funko’s resume. Because they totally have to have mastered that ability and reached into my mind, as they’ve somehow chosen the exact three Marvel characters I would have picked for their newest line.
Debuting at New York Toy Fair 2016 last weekend: Funko POP Plush Spider-Gwen, Loki and Deadpool plushies!

With all of the excitement surrounding New York Toy Fair 2016, it totally slipped my mind that the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Deadpool box was arriving this week! But there it was this afternoon, just hanging out on my front step welcome mat! The Civil War Collector Corps Box is now up for order, but before that, let’s do a spoiler-filled unboxing and photo review of the Deadpool Collector Corps box!

After LEGO, my very first stop at the 2016 New York Toy Fair this morning was to one of my favorite toy companies ever: Funko! While there were sadly no new Funko Marvel Hikari vinyls on display–my first love–I did get to have up-close looks at a handful of newly-revealed 2016 Funko Marvel POP Vinyls–including Spider-Gwen, Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel! But that’s not all–the catalog revealed concept art for Funko She-Hulk and more…

After Funko announced close to two dozen Captain America: Civil War POP Vinyls and Dorbz less earlier this month, it seemed like Funko had played its full hand as far as their merchandise for the movie went. But nope–they still had at least one more lineup of movie tie-ins up their sleeve, which they’ve kicked off this last week of January 2016 by announcing. And this set includes the most huggable Crossbones and Black Panther toys ever–the Funko Civil War Mopeez are now up for order!

They say that life is cyclical–and it looks like Funko POP! Vinyl collecting may be too! One of my big regrets as a Funko collector is that I never picked up the exclusive yellow-orange Deadpool POP Vinyl that was released a few years ago, and which now sells for well over $100 on the aftermarket. But in their benevolence, Funko is giving collectors another chance at this popular colorway–and Wade’s brought a Peggy Carter variant with him! The online exclusive Funko Yellow Deadpool & Sepia Agent Carter are now up for order!

I wasn’t in the market for yet another vinyl figure line to collect (seeing as I have a major weakness for them), but I fell in love at first sight with the Funko Marvel Dorbz figures when I first saw them at Toy Fair 2015. Even so, the line got off to a rocky start at retail. However, interest seems to have picked up, as the recently-released Marvel Dorbz Chase figures of Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales and Red Hulk are selling for $50+ each online!

While things have been a mite quiet on many manufacturers’ fronts since we crossed over into the new year, Funko isn’t one of those companies! The “Captain America: Civil War” movie is coming our way in just a few short months, and there’s no way that Funko would miss this golden opportunity to wage war on collectors’ wallets: a full series of ten mass-release Funko Captain America Civil War POP Vinyls are now up for order–including Black Panther, Agent 13, Crossbones, and a 6″ Giant-Man POP Vinyl!

Earlier today I posted the official photos of the upcoming Captain America: Civil War POP Vinyls figures that are due to hit mass retail this spring, but that’s not all that Funko has cooked up for us on the Civil War front! There’s another half-dozen figures that are going to be a wee bit trickier to track down, because they’re going to a variety of retailers as store exclusives! And while five of these figures are just variants of existing characters, the long-awaited and hotly-demanded Funko Falcon POP Vinyls figure is also going to be an exclusive…

As I was out on the prowl at my local Target yesterday, I noticed that they had an entire end cap set up for Funko products that isn’t usually there.
That end cap was unfortunately cleaned out but for three plain Netflix Daredevil POP Vinyls, but others were luckier than I, as the fully-stocked display includes several as-yet unannounced Funko Deadpool, Daredevil and Punisher toys…

It’s a brand new year, and that means it’s time for the annual Funko doomsayers to come out, likening POP Vinyls to Beanie Babies and prophesying their demise. But despite the haters, Funko keeps on trucking along, and today was the official release date for the first new Marvel POP Vinyls of 2016 to show up on shelves–including this new Funko Nemesis Punisher POP Vinyl figure that I picked up for review at Target! Punisher will never be a favorite character of mine, but I love me this new Punisher variant figure…

A couple weeks back, Funko went and announced a whole plethora of new Deadpool figures for 2016 in honor of the impending Deadpool movie. But if you thought that that was all the love that Funko was planning to give Wade Wilson this winter, you thought wrong! There are at least a half-dozen more Deadpool POP! Vinyls figures in the pipeline (not counting whatever is in the February Collector Corps box), and two of them have started showing up for sale before Funko can even announce them: it’s the exclusive FYE Blue & Bath Time Deadpool POPs!

Returning home from a little bit of late holiday shopping, I discovered what just may constitute a Christmas miracle: UPS had made a Sunday morning delivery of my December 2015 Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Collector Corps Box!
I’d heard some early criticism about the contents of this box, so I was skeptical, but after unboxing the Guardians of the Galaxy box, this turns out to be my favorite Collectors Corps box so far…

Artwork of unreleased Deadpool Funko POP Vinyls and tales of a Funko “Pirate Deadpool” vinyl have been floating around the net for quite a while now.
But this week, Funko decided to let the Wade Wilsons out of the bag (or I guess boxes, in this case), as a variety of new Funko POP Deadpool vinyls and a Pirate Deadpool Dorbz are now up for order!

I’ve known it intellectually for a while, but due to the lack of fanfare and almost total absence of merchandising, it hadn’t really clicked in my head until recently that “Deadpool” was the next Marvel movie hitting theaters!
But one company that absolutely did not forget is Funko, and they’re now unleashed a variety of pre-orders for items ranging from Deadpool Mopeez plushies to ceramic head mugs!

It seems like yesterday that I was discussing the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Villains box selling out, but once again another box is gone, as the Guardians of the Galaxy Collector Corps box is now sold out forever and shipping before the holidays this month! But don’t fret too much, because the MCC will continue into 2016 with all-new boxes. And to kick off the year, just in time for Valentine’s Day, everything is coming up Deadpool: the Deadpool Marvel Collector Corps February 2016 box is now up for order!
