At the rate we’re going, we just may know every Marvel San Diego Comic Con exclusive toy from every company within a few more days. Hot on the heels of last week’s Hasbro and Diamond Select Toys reveals, we learned about three of the Funko Marvel POP! Vinyl exclusives yesterday. And today, we can add another three 2013 SDCC Exclusive POP! Vinyls to the list: Black-And-White Variants of the Dr. Doom, Wolverine, and Spider-Man Vinyl Bobble-Head figures!
In addition, Fugitive Toys will have one more convention exclusive, from some TV show called “The Walking Dead”. I think I saw a comic book of it at my local comic store once [/sarcasm]. The POP! Walking Dead exclusive will be a Bloody version of The Governor, who is unquestionably the most popular villain from The Walking Dead TV Show and comic books. I suspect that the Funko POP! Bloody Governor will be a much hotter exclusive than any of Fugitive Toys’ three Marvel vinyls, to be totally frank.
If I have to be totally honest, these are some of my absolute least favorite SDCC 2013 Marvel exclusives. Other than reading when I’m reading some of the awesome phone book-sized Marvel Essentials graphic novels, I don’t think of any of my favorite heroes like Spider-Man or Wolverine being in black & white. I understand that it’s a way for Funko to bring new versions of popular characters like Dr. Doom onto the market, but I just don’t have a need for this kind of thing–no offense to those who love black & white variants.
Please take note: These Marvel POP! Vinyl SDCC Exclusives will not be sold at the Funko Booth. The Black & White Wolverine, Dr. Doom, and Spider-Man Funko figures will all be sold exclusively at the Fugitive Toys booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, where the figures will retail for $15-$15 each. The four SDCC 2013 Exclusive POP Vinyls are also available for pre-order now on the Fugitive Toys website, which is a big help for those not making the trip to San Diego next month.
