Further evidence that FUNKO is the BEST company out there!

Postby FunkoPOPfanpage » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:19 pm

Exactly one year ago today on February 13, 2012, I posted on the Official Funko page, that if I could have a choice of a new Disney POP! it would be Russell from UP! They were kind enough reply and that they would bring it up at their next meeting . . .

Image

One year later, here is my Russell from UP! Proto I received from Gemini Collectibles today!

Now do I think that my request is the sole reason for this POP! being made of course not, that would be ridiculous. I am 1 of many hoping this figure would be made. But it is amazing to know that Funko does listen and communicate with their fans, something that most other companies would never dream of doing.

So with that said THANK YOU Funko for Everything You Do! :)

That's so cool! I feel like Funko tries to make everybody feel like they're part of a family, rather than just a company who sells products to customers
