SDCC 2013: Marvel POP! Peter Parker & Compound Hulk Vinyls Revealed

Even if you were daring enough to brave the treacherous, hours-long line to get up to the Funko booth at San Diego Comic Con 2013 today, there was a little extra treat there that most visitors missed: an all-new Funko book that debuted a lot of previously unannounced upcoming Funko POP! Vinyls. Two of these newly-revealed figures will be of special interest to Marvel collectors–it’s the Funko Marvel POP! Vinyls Peter Parker and Compound Hulk!

Funko POP Marvel Peter Parker POP Vinyl Bobble Head Figure #34

Although Spider-Man spends the bulk of his time in his civilian guise as Peter Parker, we don’t get a ton of unmasked Spider-Man Peter Parker merch. So I was pretty pumped when I saw that Funko is planning to give ol’ Pete his due later this year, when they release this Funko POP! Marvel Peter Park Vinyl Bobble-Head figure.

Hardcore Funko collectors will notice that this is actually the POP! Big Bang Theory Sheldon vinyl head on Spider-Man’s body, but hey, if Tony Stark can just have Superboy’s head with a goatee painted on, then why not, right?

Marvel Funko POP Vinyl Compound Hulk Vinyl Bobble Head Figure #39The other new Marvel Funko POP! Vinyl unveiled in the new Funko book is a POP! Compound Hulk. Compound Hulk is a weird amalgam of Hulk and Red Hulk that appeared in Hulk #30 in 2011. I was not a big fan of this concept and thought it made for a very bizarre character design, which is why I didn’t pick up the NYCC 2011 Marvel Universe Compound Hulk action figure in 2011, even though I was at the show and there was literally no line. That said, Compound Hulk looks awfully cute in Funko POP! form. I maybe–maybe–might break my stance against Compound Hulk and pick this Vinyl figure up if it looks cute enough in person.

NYCC 2011 Exclusive Marvel Universe Compound HulkBoth the Funko Marvel Peter Parker and Compound Hulk Vinyls should be mass release figures arriving in fall/winter 2013, and not store exclusives or variants (although there very well may be store exclusive variants of Peter Parker and Compound Hulk!). I’ll post more specifics on the release dates for the Peter Parker and Compound Hulk POP! Vinyls, as well as pre-order links, once Funko releases more information.
