Congrats are definitely in order. Funko's booth had to be one of the top 3 booths for purchases in the whole con. Sure some of the panels and autograph signings had ridiculous lines, but besides Hasbro and Mattel, I didn't see any booth that had lines for purchase like Funko.

The only downside is that for collectors it makes getting what you want more difficult. But I'd rather have Brian and Co. succeed, so we'll keep getting more and more cool pieces and more licenses, even if it means waiting in lines. After experiencing it this year, I'm doing the prebuy from now on. I didn't because of the sticker price, and the amount of pieces I don't collect (probably $450 of the $700 I didn't want), but I'd rather buy those and sell them to board members at cost, keeping the ones I want. I'd recommend that path to everyone that can do that, as the lines and disappointment of not getting a piece you want are only going to increase with Funko's success. The fact that they do this is pretty cool.

And the generosity of Fundays, and the amount of care that Funko and all the booth workers showed towards collectors is amazing and unrivaled by any other company.

I got addicted to POP's last year at SDCC, so this was my 1st time going as a true Funatic. It was SO amazing to see how Brian and everyone treated us fans and I really was blown away by the success of the booth. I really appreciate all the hard work and can't wait to come back again and again for great people and great pieces.

THANK YOU BRIAN & FUNKO!!!

Yay for Funko!!!

Like many have said, it's so nice to hear how successful the con was for you all. I'm excited to see all the new products in line, and I'm proud to be a fan!!! It would also be great if Funko would consider visiting some other cons like Chicago. I would love to see them there! I'm definately going to try to go next year though. Sure the exclusives are enticing, but it would be great to meet funko staff and some of you members here on the forum! :)
