I think we may need to adjust our thinking of what Funko products are. They have gone beyond just collectibles at this point. They are part of the effective advertising experience for any pop culture release. Whether it is movies, TV, games, etc... It is a good way to advertise and get a fanbase excited for an upcoming release.

I don't see the train slowing down anytime soon.

Yeah I saw this and find it interesting. I think Funko is now just part of pop culture, and not just a collectible company. I am happy though they still put these events on at cons to keep their foundation in place in terms of the collectible aspect.

I've said for years that Funko needs to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. I think they are evolving what this is as we speak. I'm not sure I'm completely on board with their direction, but as long as they continue to make great collectibles, they will continue to get some of my disposable income.

I agree. I am interested to see how Funko continues to evolve. As long as they stick with their start and foundation as a collectible company that makes awesome bobbleheads, I will continue to be a funatic.

This should be interesting. Gonna pass because I hate dealing with random retailers like this like Kohl’s, Michaels, etc.

With so many at&t stores and if they released them in stores, maybe it won't be as hard to get as we think? I imagine people lining up still (throwback to an iPhone or Samsung phone release day) but if you're able to put in the time maybe they'll be enough for everyone (just like an iphone/samsung). Anyone hoping for this? or are you hoping they do keep numbers produced limited

Just wait for the tough upsell at the store, "I know you're here for the Night King, but let me show you a demo of the S10 while we look for the Funko in the back." Before you know it, you've got a new phone, tablet, and somehow a timeshare in Boca Raton.

Wonder if they will include it with a new phone plan

If they require a new phone plan, I'm going to follow an employee around in the store all day while saying, "Shame, shame, shame, shame..."

I'm a little nervous at some of these stores exclusives. It is hard to get some of the exclusives in the regular stores, but to now have to go to AT&T or Foot Locker, I mean I just wish they were shared exclusives that you could also get on the Funko Shop. Just my thought though.

I thought 7-11 and Kohl's we're odd partners, but hey, spread the love!

No lie, customer service chat was trying to upsell me when I inquired about the night king

Yeah, I've had to call DirecTV (now owned by AT&T) a couple times over the past 6 months to get a rate decrease. The first call wasn't too bad and I got an even bigger savings than expected, the 2nd call (after that 1st promo ended) was 30 minutes of them wanting to go through every channel I watch so they can find me a better package. While I was fake cancelling at first, by the end of the call I really did want to cancel. lol

Going by the most-shared dates for the release, I am very glad I will be at school at the times people are saying this is supposed to release. I would hate to be at home and suddenly see my internet go out because people are going crazy on AT&T's website

Lol! I don’t think that will happen, but their website ‘might’ go bye-bye for a moment. Now will it reach metallic Whis-like levels? Hopefully not and probably won’t, IMO. But we shall see!

It might - have you seen what headless Ned Stark is going for?

LOL. May have to go on the bay to pick this up instead of having to deal with AT&T trying to sell me a new phone plan.

This is my feeling as well. Did someone say that you need to be an att customer to get one?

Have not cared for any of the recent GOT pops built this one! This one is COOL! If any Pop deserves the metallic treatment it’s this one!

That's a fantastic point of view. That new world would be shining, shimmering, splendid. If I'm lucky enough to get the chrome Night King I'd have an indescribable feeling, soaring, tumbling, free wheeling.

Okay, enough Aladdin references.

Shoe cross-promotion, I can see that. Makes a lot of sense. But I'm also coming from a time where exclusives were different. Funatics would sneak into Medical trade shows and Less Than Jake concerts to get some Funko Wobblers.

Man I’m soo excited about this release. Hopefully they made a lot of these so everyone can get them that wants one.
