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!
But while the live-action future of the Inhumans is basically dead in the water, the characters are going strong in the comics (well, for now, what with that “Death of the Inhumans” story coming this summer). And along with their recent comic book appearances, the Inhumans are also getting some limelight with the very first announced SDCC 2018 Funko POP Vinyl Exclusives!
There’s exactly one thing in the Inhumans movie/TV series that was pretty much universally loved, and Funko was smart to use it to push this exclusive two-pack: Lockjaw!
While we’ve previously had both a mass release of the Lockjaw POP Vinyl and an exclusive Flocked Lockjaw vinyl, this time we’re getting what’s almost certainly the coolest version of the figure yet: Teleporting Lockjaw!
The bottom half of this puppy is clear plastic with glitter, and looks super-cool. I already own the POP Lockjaw twice over, but it looks like Funko will be getting my money for this mold for a third and final time.
It’s not very often that we get Marvel two-packs as Funko convention exclusives, but I kind of get the feeling that Funko knew we’d all buy Lockjaw and skip Black Bolt otherwise this time. I’m not exactly giddy with delight about buying what’s essentially a Black Bolt POP figure that I already have with a glowing feature that doesn’t make a ton of sense for the character, but I really want that Lockjaw, so it looks like Blackagar is coming home again as well.
The Funko SDCC 2018 Exclusive GITD Black Bolt & Teleporting Lockjaw two-pack is now up for order, and is scheduled to ship in late July/early August 2018 (after San Diego Comic Con, obviously). The set is limited to 15000 packs produced.
How do you feel about the first of no-doubt many 2018 SDCC Funko Exclusives, Marvel collectors? Are you interested in owning the most interesting versions of the two most recognizable Inhumans in POP form, or are you ice-cold on these characters after their live-action series? What other Funko Marvel exclusives are you hoping for as summer convention exclusives?
I’m ice cold to most Inhumans because all the crap Marvel put the X-Men through in a desperate attempt to make Inhumans more of a thing but I am a sucker for Lockjaw because dogs are everything. However, that being said, I am no fan of Black Bolt and will ultimately have to pass. I’ll stick to the flocked Lockjaw I got last year to go with Ms.Marvel.
