Social Freddy

Postby **Funko_Don** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 3:58 pm

Looks like this one will be difficult to get, but I would definitely love to add this one to the collection. Maybe some day....

Postby **Rickakatuna** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 5:16 pm

I really like it. I hope I can get my hands on one. Wonder what other ones they will do

I am not sure about the first two, but Funko tweeted that the first person to meet them at a designated spot at ECCC and verify they follow Funko on social channels won the one in the picture. They mentioned they would do other giveaways for folks not at ECCC so we will just have to wait and keep our eyes on their social channels. Looks like it might be a tough one to acquire!

Ahhhh, thank you! That's a cool concept. I bet they will go crazy with these at SDCC.

The first two were given away at the live Funkast at ECCC

Nice, hopefully not too difficult to get

Another Freddy I want.

Postby **FunkoNerd** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:12 pm

I really want one of these!

Postby **levixkelly** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:28 pm

They just gave 4 more away at the con. Very cool of them to give away for free.

Left the convention for my plane flight...just announced they were giving away 4 SM Freddy’s at the booth!! ](*,)

Now that I have seen some better pics of this Freddy my question is why is he holding a coffee cup and not a smart phone or something like that? Since he's social media Freddy.

It's pretty dope! I'd love one but I won't be getting my hopes up!

Postby **Rice71** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:52 pm

I saw two were given out to people that were watching the syfy interview with Cameron and Yoko.

Postby **Imagery** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 8:05 pm

Definitely going to be keeping an eye on Funko's social channels for chances to bring this guy home. Love the casual look

I saw one at the bakery next to the HQ on Thursday morning. My friend said he saw it at HQ but was gone when we wnt back.

Postby **Gonzo206** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 8:35 pm

They posted a chance to win on Twitter, but I already left the con. Looks really cool though!

It was but there were only a few. I think they were left over from the Funkast event Funko did on Wednesday night.

I was at the FunKast event and I never saw them. Word about them would have spread like wildfire that night if they were released. The only thing unexpected was the Rain City Freddy, oh and the Hercules/Pegasus Deluxe release.

That's strange, my friend said he was in Wetmore Forrest area. They may have just put them out Thursday morning. I would've loved to be inside Wednesday night instead of in the nook outside. :brilsmurf:

Postby **ramblinwreck58** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 9:21 pm

Maybe a possible Funkast give-away for the next few episodes? It would be cool to see accounts following @OriginalFunko for a while get this one!

Postby **Strending625** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:53 pm

Sully handed me on when we saw the Funkast crew in Artist Alley this afternoon because we always stopped to chat with them when we saw them at the con

he's super adorable in person!

Postby **fieldsy32** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:56 pm

This is probably one of the best marketing strategies that they have done! It’s a great Freddy for sure!

Well, if they were there, I did not see them in anyone's baskets, nor like I said talk about them. There was also suppose to be random chases, enough for each person to buy one, but some people took multiple Pops! and some people got shut out, so maybe this was one of those instances. I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but I was just honored to be there, all the rest was gravy. BTW, if you saw some big guy wearing a Santa Goofy hat at that, that was me. I also had on a red hoodie jacket and an orange Funko Fright Night shirt on underneath.

Please put it on the FUNKO SHOP!

That would defeat the purpose lol

Postby **Bookishkali** » Sun Mar 04, 2018 11:46 pm

I basically use all my social media for my Funko habit-so I will eventually get this pop! lol

I know yoire not complaining. I heard that happened, seemed to be the theme of the weekend. I so believe I saw you in there, we were wishing we were in there and not outside eating pizza.

For everyone wondering what's on the coffee cup it looks like a Freddy head (more round like retro Freddy) in green like a Starbucks cup.

You had pizza???? All we had for food/drink was cookies and water. Yeah, I heard that Skybound sold out of the Lying Cat GITD from Saga when someone was allowed to buy 100 of them. I don't know if that is true, I'd like to think it isn't, but I've seen messed up things like that before.

Postby **Starwarsfanatic1** » Mon Mar 05, 2018 1:29 am

Does anyone know what number these social media pops are limited to?

There has been no number given for how many have been or will be made with this one. I know/have heard about 10 total being given out so far but that number could be higher.

There was one person that bought 4 master cases of 96 and another bought 3 master cases. Not messed up, anyone could have done it and skybound is there to make money which they gladly did.

Well I don't think that Skybound was there to lose money, but anyone buying that quantity is a flipper and not a collector. They should have limited it to maybe 5, but 2 would be more realistic if they have any concern for the collectors. They would have sold out regardless, because they had an exclusive that was hotly sought after. It's just a shame when collectors cannot get what they are looking for at sticker price.
