That's a pretty cool shirt. I don't remember seeing at gamestop's out here. Do you have any idea if it was limited numbers or an exclusive?


It was exclusive to Gamestop in 2016.

I always think it is weird that Funko doesn't just load their online webstore with any and all tees and Pops that they possibly could. Retailer exclusives are a separate issue, but it makes no sense to make something as dumb as a shirt so hard to find. For example, my fiance is really into the anime Sword Art Online and saw someone post about a Pop! shirt they found at HQ. Waited months and months to see if it would go on sale anywhere and never even saw one pop up anywhere on ebay for sale. Fortunately we had a friend go up to HQ during Xmas and as kind enough to pick it up for her. I just see alot of wasted potential where they could be bringing in more revenue.

I also had been looking for that Deadpool Unicorn shirt a while back but never found it. Having them all on Funko Shop is a great idea, I know I regularly check out what shirts they hv on Funko shop! Would love to see more on there.

I want to say I've seen that in the clearance section of an FYE. If I come across it again, I'll hit you up with a message.


When I made this comment I remembered how upset I was when I couldn't find it so I went on eBay and there was one in my size for retail. I'll have it by the end of the week \:D/ . I remember it was a Hot Topic exclusive (most of them were back then) because I was in there so much I ended up with a job a few months later lol


Yeah, going to eBay may have been the more efficient move since I haven't stepped into a FYE since making this comment lol . Nice pick up on the tee!

I have no clue. I wasn’t as into collecting then as I am now.

there was a shirt similar to this at HQ, I'll check next time I am there... but knowing how the stock rotates it might not be there, it is also possible it was a slightly different version.


Yeah. Keep us updated. I am now curious after seeing the picture.

Cause they're so hard to find I really debate with myself when I see some I like. I went on vacation out of state once and found 4 on clearance, I had been looking at. Got one a size up just cause I couldn't find it anywhere else anymore.

Whenever I go to target I usually only see XL and lower... many send those XXLs up to North!

Funko used to give away a lot of shirts at convention events...do they do that anymore?

I think most of the Pop Tees are very limited runs, I have learned to snag them if I see one I really love and cry later if it goes on clearance.

Yeah! It’s definitely a struggle locating a really specific shirt in a timely manor!
