You'd have to imagine that once Carrie passed, tribute ideas for her started being thrown around, and this is probably the one that makes the most sense. Combine that with the timing of SDCC being about right for what is needed to get something designed and produced, plus ties into the 40th Anniversary still. Another possibility would be a Funko Shop exclusive right around the actual 40th Anniversary (or Star Wars Day). Maybe even B&N since they were left out on this round of exclusives.

I still want my open-shirt Luke and lowcut dress Leia!

LMAO. I can't believe we haven't gotten action figures of that at the very least

What if the 2nd item is a holographic Leia mini hikari? I for one like these small ones we have been getting.

Hold on, gimme a sec to put my thoughts together... =D>

That would be AWESOME.

If we get a mini hikari in this box it will officially make it my favorite box thus far

Whatever they include alongside the main attraction won't be very big.

I totally agree with you. I would love a second vinyl item, I just don't think it's very likely.

Postby **eljefe81** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:59 pm

I think a mystery-mini or mymoji would be very possible. Or maybe another item from the home set (like salt and pepper shakers).

Postby **FearlessPhotog** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 11:26 am

This has potential to be one the best boxes so far!

The MCC box with the Wolverine Pop Ride also had a Rock Candy. The Disney box with the pirate ship Ridez also had a mystery mini in a collector tin. I'd say the chances are pretty good there might be a 2nd vinyl item included.

I'm just basing my guess off the last star wars box that had a deluxe pop ride. No shirt, socks instead, and the second item was a plush wampa. But only time will tell. Either way I'm good with the land speeder. Anything else will just be a bonus.

That would be sweet! Or a PSH!

What about a Rock Candy? Are there Star Wars Rock Candy? Or any known plans for them?

We got a Rock Candy and a Ride in the X-Men box for MCC, so it's possible, right?

I was hoping for a MM or PSH because then it would be small enough to display with R2 and kind of look like she was being projected :-)

I haven't heard any SW RC announcements, would be cool but I bet they would have to be bobbles.

I really didn't like the plushies at all, but that one was really cool! I went from not liking plushies to liking fuzzy plushies :-)

Now I want that Bantha! I doubt they would do another Pop deluxe/ plushie combo though (just because they like to mix things up), that's why I'm thinking this box may get something vinyl in it. I bet the Speeder box will be pretty big, so unless they have a huge shipping box I doubt the 2nd item would be a Rock Candy, Pop or Dorbz. So I'm leaning towards it being a mystery mini, especially since they were recently announced. I wouldn't complain if it was a couple of PSHs though!

I'll be happy to get her in any form. And given enough time, I'm sure we'll see a holographic Leia released in all of them, even as a mini pack-in with R2... there is a new astromech mold that they need to push after all. Lol

Mystique is my only Rock Candy, but I can't tell that she bobbles until she's actually moving, so it wouldn't bother me if an eventual Leia had to as well.

Postby **eljefe81** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:33 pm

Yeah, based on the size of the box in the video, I'm thinking it's going to be slightly smaller than something like "Indy's Ride". I'd try to compare it to Rey's speeder, but

haven't actually seen that one in person

. Holographic mystery-mini Leia would be amazing.

Postby **Tovarnico** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:16 am

I would be beyond happy if the Holographic Leia was in this box! In Funkos Q&A yesterday someone asked about the holographic leia and they replied, " There is still "hope"" The quotations around hope could mean nothing but it also could mean something. They are so sneaky!

Postby **Megacam** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:23 am

not sure if this has been mentioned...but the picture of Leia on the box looks like holographic Leia! Aren't all of the box art characters made into pops?

I don't believe the Luke on the ESB box exists.

I think using the quotations definitely means something. The question is "what"? Do they mean the New Hope 40th Anniversary box? I "hope" (sorry

) that they aren't using it to emphasize their cleverness, because really, that is a pretty clever answer, no matter how it gets spun.

Postby **TheBoilerman** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:49 pm

Re-started my sub because of "hope" that the box will excel. The main item is cool, but not fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store.

I'm already stoked for this box, if there is a holographic Leia Pop, that would be epic. Perhaps, it will just end up being a shirt or something.

I've really been on the fence about this one as I've been trying to cut back on subs, but that Ride is so sweet. Got charged today for it because I wanted Rebels and forgot to turn off the sub. I guess I'm no longer on the fence anymore.

I saw the Bantha when I was at Target on Sunday. It looks GREAT in person. Kind of regret not picking it up. Also, the plush Jabba from SWC is wonderful.

Wedding cake!!! Yummmy Wes and I have always said one day we are going to crash a wedding, pretend to know the bride or groom, eat some wedding cake. Hahahaha yeah it won't ever happen tho we are both to chicken. But It's something we have talked about doing since we first met over 22 years ago. :drunken:

Usually they just announce one major thing and let the rest be a surprise. I think that system works best.
