Wizarding World - Hermione Patronus Otter Pop

[Azcat03]

Did anyone get a confirmation email when they placed their order?

Yes. Check your spam/junk folder as mine showed up in there with both releases so far.

Thank you! Found it in the junk folder!

Congrats, glad you were able to get through today! Keep your fingers crossed for the rest of us!

And of course...good luck to all of us regarding shipping these!

I decided to wait until the common on this one. They shipped my stag patronus really poorly and it was a lot more expensive that just buying locally as a common.

That's no good, but it's a decision that makes perfect sense! Hoping lightning strikes twice for me - my stag patronus came in just fine, so I took the chance this morning with our otter! We'll see what happens though - crossing my fingers for all of us risking our pops in this round!

I wonder how long the period will be between pre-release and release? We haven't heard about the common pops hitting stores yet, have we?

The Patronus Stag POP showed up last month at Barnes & Noble. The back of the common box has just the Stag Patronus on it, no other Pops.

In my local stores I saw the stag two weeks after my preorder showed up.

[TheStephil]

Ugh I want this but also know a glow in the dark will be coming. Not sure if I should wait or not...

It would be cool to see them glow but as a completist, it doesn't really matter to me. I never see my glows anyway since you have to charge them every time you want to see them glow.

You can always have a black light near them, most light up nicely with that.

I should give that a try.

Glow is life though Steph! haha I'm just kidding I prefer the look of non glows in the day time but something about know it can glow always excites me. I blame the kid in me

Glow is a nice touch but it doesn’t make or break a pop for me.

Got my shipping notification yesterday, should be here soon! Looking forward to getting this one next to Prongs!

That's not too bad of a wait. Glad to hear that everyone holding out won't have too long before they bring hope their otters!

So...shipping drama and sticker, or 2 week delay to buy it in store. That's hardly even a wait!

I’m sure it does depend on where you live too. Us West Coasters are a bit spoiled and get stuff a bit earlier.

Also sorry but I don’t think that sticker is very appealing
I displayed my stag out of box and the otter is going right next to him.

So how does this work? Is this just a pre-release that has a special sticker before the full release as a common.

[magicalme]

Had to get this one for my Harry Potter collection but DANG that shipping!! OUCH!

Right? We are absolutely taking a hit on the shipping. The things we do for those special stickers!

I know! I probably should have waited but...

[fieldsy32]

Love it, but not entirely sure I want to continue on with the HP line!

It's always nice when that happens! I'm really surprised when something hits the East coast first, I kinda feel betrayed!

I admit, I was expecting something a bit more...magical...for the sticker. But ever since I missed out on the Neville pre-release, it's a must have for me. We all cope with our traumas in different ways!

Waiting is for people who have patience, which we have established...is not us!

[jadekitten]

Sooooooo cute, i really can't wait until they make GITD versions once they finish this initial common version wave

GITD or bust! it will look amazing

I bet we get some GITD with the upcoming conventions this year! They did that with the ghost figures, last that I can think of!

I can only hope!!

[Killua916]

Yeah classic funko drop all the commons then hit with glow.

What Funko collectors aren't patient? This is news to me *sarcasm*

Yeah they're dropping too much its easier to wait now! Gotta be strong!

Besides the sticker the box itself is different. On the Wizarding World exclusives the back of the box has the magical key that you scan with the App for bonus content. On the common release packaging they replace the magical key with a picture of the Pop.

That is intriguing, I think that a different design in the box would be more important than the sticker for us in box collectors. I also like the idea because you know that sticker to that box is legit.

That's a very good point. I forgot the back of the box was different. I hadn't looked too hard at the common Patronus when it came out.

Too True! It's so hard to be patient though

[franzsy0519]

Any idea when this will come out as a regular release? Haven't heard anything yet on my end, was hoping I might've just missed the news.

[Killua916]

Yeah especially it’s something you like how you feel about todays eccc drops?

[TheStephil]

They haven't said but I'd expect late February/early March. That's my guess anyway.

Lackluster for me so far. I like the harry potter pops, but i'm more into collecting the beasts/creatures. hbu?

Hope it's soon. I remember the Overwatch Tracer had a Blizzcon early release, then the regular release was just a few weeks after that.

That sounds about right, just as long as it isn't an early release from sdcc.

I would cry pop tears if they release snapes patronus

I wouldnt be surprised if they do. Its such an iconic patronus and a big part of the last movies. I hope they make it a convention exclusive.

you already know what I want it to do LOL I'm not gonna say it

I really hope that they do Snape’s Doe Patronus! That one is a definite must have. Wizarding World did say that Ron’s would be the last one so seeing it as a convention exclusive would be a good bet. If not a different retailer exclusive.

[Kwik_One]

1. Cool.

2. Please tell me I'm not the only one that got suuuuuuper confused by the thread title. Lol

Nope, I thought I was opening a discussion about an HP Ad Icons cross over.

[Minyinz610]

Love seeing more Patronus Pop!s, I just hope they reveal glow variants soon. All-over glows are so pretty.

I hope the glows are coming, I can see them as con exclusives.

Me too! A little too much blue for ECCC...but perhaps SDCC?

I agree with that and I would love to see these glow. Hopefully we will see them soon. It wouldn’t shock me to see them as store exclusives also.

I could definitely see this being a convention exclusive! Hopefully GITD?
