UPDATE 7/14/2019: …And gone! Randomly in the middle of Sunday afternoon seemed like a bizarre time for it to happen, but the SDCC Exclusive Funko POP Man-Thing figure was briefly up for order online! It’s been pulled now until noon EST on July 19th, so be sure to set your alarms if you missed him and fear the Man-Thing’s touch being absent from your collection!

Of all the new toys that I thought I might be talking about in the middle of June, I can truthfully say that a new batch of Christmas-themed figures was nowhere on the list. But they came anyway, so now let’s talk about them: the Holiday 2019 Funko Marvel POP Vinyls are now up for order, including Ugly Sweater Thanos, Snowman Captain America, and the cutest dang Baby Groot we might ever see! Will you be celebrating Christmas in July (or even sooner) with any of these holiday POPs?

Spider-Man Far From Home toys are officially allowed to launch today, and that means the (perhaps Hydro-Man induced?) flood is upon us! Hasbro solicited many of their toys overnight, and now it’s Funko’s turn up at bat! The Funko Spider-Man Far From Home POP Vinyls and Mystery Minis are now up for order, including Mysterio, Hydro-Man, Molten Man and more! And if you love exclusives, don’t worry–the King of Exclusive has plenty of those lined up as well…

Funko is the perennial king of exclusives, with more exclusive figures released in the past decade as part of the POP Vinyls series than any other figure line has ever had. But for the Avengers Endgame POPs, Funko has actually found something new that even they have never done before: in addition to all of the “usual” exclusives, a way to make exclusives out of every one of the 11 non-exclusive POP figures in the series: the EE Exclusive Funko POP Avengers Endgame figures with Collector Cards are now up for order!

A week after opening in theaters (and becoming a genuine blockbuster hit), opinions on the Captain Marvel movie are varied. Some fans place it near the top of their list of MCU movies, some rank it in the middle, and some a bit lower. But if there’s one thing people universally loved, it’s Goose the Cat! And now that most have seen the movie, Funko can finally reveal some spoiler-iffic figures: the POP Flerken Goose (and chase variant!) are now up for order!

With Funko releasing dozens upon dozens of movie Marvel POP Vinyls every year, you might think that they’ve covered every single major super-powered character in the MCU at this point. And, well… they have, really. But while almost every character has been done, that doesn’t mean that can’t be done better. And that’s just what Funko aims to do with their latest reveal: the jumbo Amazon Exclusive Funko 10” Giant-Man POP Vinyl is now up for order!

UPDATE 10/5/2018 #2: And for those who have been waiting for her, the NYCC Exclusive Okoye with Wig POP Vinyl is now up for order online as well!
UPDATE 10/5/2018: For those who want it, the NYCC 2018 Exclusive Funko Spider-Woman POP Vinyl figure is now up for order online while she lasts! This was easily the most interesting of the Funko Marvel Exclusives for New York Comic Con this year, so I’m very pleased she was shared with an online retailer. If you think you’re gonna want comic-based Jessica Drew Spider-Woman as a POP–now’s the time!

We may still have almost a month of summer to go, but it’s never to early start planning ahead for the holidays—or at least, Funko thinks so! While we’ve only gotten a couple holiday Marvel Funko items in the past, The Big F is going all-out this year with whole series of both Holiday Marvel POP Vinyls and Pint-Size Heroes now up for PO! Behold the majesty of Ugly Sweater Thanos and Snowman Captain America!

Just when you think Funko has done everything they can possibly do with POP Vinyls, they go and break the mold with something totally unexpected. And last winter, they did just that by announcing a match made in heaven: the marriage of super-deformed POP Vinyls heads and… Pez dispensers?! That’s right–believe it or not, as revealed this summer, Funko POP Pez Marvel Wave 1 is coming our way: POP Pez Stan Lee, Yondu and Gladiator Hulk are now up for order!

Looks like I can cross another thing off the list of characters I never thought I’d live to see toys made of. I thought it was a shocking one-off when we got a Marvel Legends Nico Minoru figure in the Doctor Strange series in 2016, but I figured that was the extent of figures we’d ever see for the team. But as they’re oft to do, Funko apparently thought otherwise: An entire series of Funko Runaways POP Vinyls figures was unexpectedly revealed this week! And oh yeah–video game-based Spider-Man and comic book Rocket Raccoon are on the way as well…

All of the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies may have come and gone, but don’t worry—with over half a year to go until the Captain Marvel movie, the merchandise for Black Panther, Avengers Infinity War and even Ant-Man and the Wasp will keep rolling out for many months to come. And Funko announced their next batch of Infinity War POP Vinyls this month—including Winter Soldier, Young Gamora, and even an Amazon-Exclusive POP Eitri (Peter Dinklage) figure!

SDCC 2018 is less than a month away, and while many of the major Marvel exclusives for the show are being officially announced a bit later than we’ve become accustomed to, at long last they’re finally rolling out. And this year, I believe The King of Exclusives is setting their own new personal best with a record ten Marvel exclusives, including POPs of MCU Iron Man Mark I, Classic Ant-Man, Kraglin (!!) and… Taika Waititi?!?

UPDATE 5/16/2018: Well, here’s an article I never expected to be updating again! After being out of production for three years, the EE EXCLUSIVE Funko Glow-in-the-Dark Thanos POP Vinyl figure is back up for order! Thousands of new collectors have burst on the scene since the last time this figure was available: will this exclusive reissue fill in a gap in your Marvel collection…?

Earlier today I discussed the trio of San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Marvel Gallery statues that are among the first exclusives announced for the event. But don’t think that the King of Exclusives will stand idly by and be shown up by any other company—the first Funko Exclusives made their debut today as well! The Funko POP Glow in the Dark Black Bolt & Teleporting Lockjaw two-pack is now up for order online!

As the Funko Marvel Collector Corps began 3 years ago with Avengers Age of Ultron, it seems appropriate that the MCC comes to its conclusion in its current form with this month’s Avengers Infinity War Box. The service will apparently be continuing via Amazon, but for now, this is the grand finale. Does the Infinity War Collector Corps Box end things on a high note, or with untapped potential? Read on for my review…
