I'd like a Steve Young with 75th anniversary patch on the jersey............or a Brady vs Joe 2pk with all 10 rings.

So I doubt they will unvault other pops. I am pretty sure this was vaulted for some sort of other reason unrelated to sales. They never made and official announcement then people like yourself were getting it, and then it was just out of the blue not showing up anywhere. It wasn't an exclusive, and didn't show up on big retailers such as entertainment earth. Most of the pops that are vaulted are either due to sales or limited production run. I don't think this falls in either category, so I think this is a special case.
It was on EE, and Toy Wars, I preordered at Gamestop, and they cancelled. Then drove an hour to get the former GOAT from another GS. This was vaulted/cancelled, same as Jim Brown, and Nick Morton. Will depend on production date on box. If is pre Oct 17, than this the rest of the stock. If after, it's an unvault and rerelease. Just a slippery slope with this stuff as once one is unvaulted, many more to come. I say keep items vaulted and make a new mold instead. Would have been easy to make black jersey, or away instead.
Good call to check production date on the box.. I could see it both ways (stock already made then recalled..then working out license approval to re-release vs straight up unvaulting and remaking more).

I guess having collected since 2014, a big part of me trusts Funko. I just don't think they would vault with intention of re-releasing. I think just the vaulting was because they just never thought they could do a mass release due to some issues. Now that they are resolved they can mass release.

just saw this news! I hope it's true!! Don't want to have to overspend for such a great looking POP!
I was trying to figure out what the big deal was with the Great Joe Montana but then realize he was being released again.

I thought the whole Montana fiasco had something to do with his hair... who knows what the truth is - Funko doesn't necessariliy shout it out for everyone to hear when there's a bungle like this (or say the Tom Cruise Mummy POP!).. they just try to make it go away quickly & quietly!
I would love a side by side comparison or at the very least I can post pics of my old one if anyone got their new one they ordered to post for comparison

I can post mine but so far hair color, boots and jersey are the same color. Not sure about NFL emblem on the football on mine.

I would love some of the 1950's stars like Raymond Berry, Otto Graham, Frank Gifford and Lenny Moore.
