Target Holliday Friday Release

[PopPChulo]

I think its safe to say if the Friday release is indeed Pikachu it is going to sell out at Mach Speed due to the Detective Pikachu trailer "Pika Pika!"

[TriFeckTa]

I need that big old pikachu in my life
Hope Funko makes a 10 inch for each of the OG starter pokemon down the line, maybe even go as far as making their evolved versions in 10 inch as well. Or another cool idea would be the 1st evolution in regular 3.75-4inch pop size, the second evolution in 6 inch form, and the final evolution in 10 inch form!

^ This is exactly what I was thinking would be the idea thing to do for the Pokemon. I think that there are some Pokemon that are more popular then others so im okay with starting and final form for now they can fill in the blanks as they go along.

[calpolo17]

Need the bear. Gonna be sweet.

[Lvpopcollector]

Will the Pikachu be flocked? After seeing the trailer for the movie that is the next variant.

I agree they should make the starter pokemon, but at the same time, not milk the 10in on pokemon that dont need it, like evolved are fines like you mentioned but not the starters along with it

[dmitch86]

So do you think Friday is Pikachu in a Santa hat? Or detective hat for the movie?

I think it's a 10 inch Pikachu, no hat.

[nightlife206]

I hope to get this Pika!

Exactly. I mean to be honest with you some people favor some Pokemon more then others

[volsspongebob]

Hoping Pikachu 10" is not a Holiday Santa Hat POP. Wanting to display him year round.

[kappait]

Me too. sounds like they are changing the time this year which could be better or worse...

That's a rough time for us on the west coast. I liked the midnight releases. Haha

hey the east coast had it rough last year, its your turn *EVIL LAUGH*

I know. That 3am release must have been brutal! I guess I can get up at 550 to get ready. Haha.

[TiniTinyTony]

Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be 10 inches?

[bakivali]

Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be 10 inches?

They've talked about releasing a 10" Pikachu by the end of the year in past updates.

“As one of the preeminent entertainment properties in the world today, we’re thrilled to welcome Pokémon to the Funko Pop! lineup with this exclusive figure,” said Brian Mariotti, CEO of Funko. “Pikachu is one of the most recognizable characters in pop culture, and as the ultimate purveyor of pop culture we couldn’t be more excited to bring Funko’s signature style to the world of Pokémon. So much so that we plan to launch a larger 10-inch scale figure later this year.”

2 MORE DAYS

[Shertle]

Not sure why everyone is assuming that it's going to be 10 inches?

Because there has already been one (known) sold to disfunko during targetcon, and I doubt they would just make 1 of them.

[yanban]

Could be. We'll have to see what they have. Either way I'll try for them. Haha.

Yes, midnight was ok for West Coast but terrible for East

CAN'T WAIT FOR GIANT PIKACHU

But normally the weeks of target are online only, they only show up in the store due to the returns. If the target pikachu 10in was found on the west coast in stores, wouldn't that negate the possibility of them releasing the 10in pikachu online as part of the promo
?

[TiniTinyTony]

Thanks for the insight, bakivali and Shertle.

[StarWarsFunkoGirl]

8am is actually harder for me than 2am (cst)... but I just need the FB2 one (if that's all true), so everybody just better let me get that and you all can have the rest of them

agree..that is my 1 must have. It would be cool to get the 2 ad icons but won't cry if I miss them

[volsspongebob]

Tomorrow morning. Let the games begin. Excited for the opportunity.

[w00tw00t]

I think its safe to say if the Friday release is indeed Pikachu it is going to sell out at Mach Speed due to the Detective Pikachu trailer "Pika Pika!"

I still can't even find the reg pikachu at Target. Here is hoping it's not since i'll likely never see the light of day finding a pikachu in the wild. If they do Detective Pikachu i'm curious how they would look since it's real life versions.

[TiniTinyTony]

I assume if Funko decided to do a Detective Pikachu that they would dull down the yellow slightly and make it flocked.

[hailmary25]

good luck to all tomorrow.

[calpolo17]

Hope to get a chance at it. Not looking forward to staying up late to try for the purchase :-(

I hope not, the 10in pops don't sell out as fast. Collectors don't always have room for them. But I agree since this is Pikachu it will sell out under 5 minutes.

[dboneo]

Can't wait until tomorrow

[Diabetesx03]

Anyone know what time they will drop?

[evrythngzen]

I can't wait to do this. Target is almost the only store I can go to before work.

I think the target ones will be online only. Like last year.

Oh! Thank you. I am a newbie so that is good to know in advance!

I'm a newbie too so this is good news. Almost time!

[Joesandwich123]

this is going to be hard for me to wake up at 6 am

Hopefully my alarm will work

[CaseyJones14]

Anyone know what time they will drop?

8:00 AM Central time.

[Jess55]

I’m torn on Pikachu now. I saw a picture online and now I kind of want it. I don’t play or watch Pokémon, but I think it would look cute with my other 10” pops. I think I I’ll set my alarm and decide in the morning.

[SpastikGrl]

Yes this is good to know, but this one will be a hard pass for me. I'd rather spend my money on other stuff. As you know with Funko.... there are many financial rabbit holes you can go down.

[Despinosa33]

I am abolutely happy to jump down a Pokémon pop rabbit hole. Me and the kids have been waiting for more characters to drop.

[Kwik_One]

I have all of the 10” Pops so I’ll probably grab a Pika also to stay complete.

Correction - have all but one, patiently waiting for Niffler to go on clearance.

[jondru]

All 10in. ... wow

[mosedef]

Ready for what this holidays bring us. Hopefully its a good one!
