Uncle Fester Walgreens Exclusive

Wonder if the GITD variant is a chase, Wouldn't be surprised. lol

Disappointed, obviously but it is what it is. I wished for Light Up Uncle Fester, tbh, but was gonna settle for the glow that was shown in the glam. Now I don't really care for it as much as I was hyped to be but I guess I'll make some thing out of it. I skipped out on buying the common Uncle Fester for this and I now regret it because mayyybe a custom could be made easier with the common. I'm thinking the light bulb in this one may not be hollow. I shall see if I even make an effort to fix this!

Both of mine came in damaged

Disappointing that it doesn't glow...Maybe that'll be a variant in the future.

I could have sworn the glam indicated the light bulb was gitd and had a gitd sticker on box. Also pretty sure Walgreens showed that as well when I placed my order. Just curious if anyone else out there got their pop and has the same issue. Regardless, it's a great looking pop and surprisingly it came mint...I can't tell you the last time I ordered from Walgreens and received a mint or even decent box .

Congrats on getting an Uncle Fester with a good box. I also thought the lightbulb would glow. This is one pop that should have been able to light up.

I thought it was suppose to glow. The pics had a glow sticker. Maybe a mistake or what’s yet to come.

My Festers came a bit dinged .. because they placed a Free Sample of Clothes Washing Gummy Gels packet on top of them then sealed the box. Very small dents but this could have been totally avoided.

I called and got a refund for each, and they let me keep them as well. Still.. just idiotic overall.

My Dracs (2) arrived in an exactly similar box, but not with the sample pack and they were perfect.

Mine came in with a dent right by the sticker. ](*,)

Originally I thought it was a GitD also due to the picture on the Walgreens website (it did show that pic with the sticker). Did hear from a friend (after I had ordered) that there was no glow. They messed up a good opportunity for a great glow with his lightbulb.

Got my uncle fester and dracula today..they came in separate boxes and they arrived perfect! Wasn't expecting that. lol

Walgreens was trash with my whole order. Fester box was trashed and Dracula wasnt even included in my order. Smh

Ok, at least I'm not the only one. I know I saw the pic somewhere the indicated the lightbulb glowed and there was even a gitd sticker on the box. Maybe it was altered and not an official pic

Maybe but I recall seeing it have a glow sticker when it was first revealed by funko.

Yup it did have a glow sticker

disappointed the light bulb doesn't glow. This would have looked so cool.

Postby **Oxayotl** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 12:01 pm

It definitely should have glowed, but I'm happy to have it. And it showed up undamaged, what a miracle.

Make sure they refund you shipping too if you are asking for a refund or maybe ask for partial refund if you intend to keep. The last time I made an order with them it was so badly damaged I needed to return it and they tried not to refund me on the shipping. Poor shipping is on them though which is the reason you are returning them in the first place.

I missed Uncle Fester when he went up on the Walgreens website, but will be watching the local stores to see if they get any in.

Are you in the LA area? I am wondering what stores have them out. I have been checking here and there in S. Cali whenever I pass one just in case mine come in thrashed, but no luck lol

Wondering the same, since the only pics that had a glow were the drawings and the pic from Walgreens.

Postby **Kwik_One** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 1:44 pm

I totally missed the drop on the website so I have to try and find this at a local store. That will not be an easy task here in Vegas

The lady that works the morning shift at our Walgreens has started giving me weird looks.. IDK why. Maybe cause I've been in there every morning on our way to work, walk to the toy isle, turn and end up leaving with out buying anything haha.

Just got mine in, no damage thankfully but still bummed it's not the gitd version as pictured.

Glad you received one with no damage, sounds like we both were pretty lucky to receive it without damage lol

I guess at this point the pic of the gitd version is a mystery lol

Thank goodness yours is not damaged! These were hard to get as it is.

Yeah I am. I found one in Monrovia off of Huntington in the same plaza as a Sprouts Market.

Yeah the only gd thing about amazon is their after sales customer service. lol

Man, I would have loved for Uncle Fester to glow. I guess you can't have Adams Family without a lil mystery.

Postby **FireEmblemZack** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 7:27 pm

I got my Fester and Dracula yesterday, luckily in nice condition! The Fester is so funny, even though the bulb doesn't glow. It still is really nice looking. They should do that lightbulb translucent color more often for stuff, like varients of some Funko Originals. A smokey colored Sike-O-Shriner

Postby **supertoygiant** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 10:20 pm

Has anyone attempted to use glow in the dark paint on the bulb to make it glow?

I need to find one first. ;-)

Postby **ssmart619** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 12:32 am

mine arrived with box damage on both, and some complimentary detergent in the box.

*edit-but somehow my separate order of Spirit Spider, Darth Maul, Han Solo, and Medical Droid arrived in excellent condition along with two complimentary detergents!

Postby **TJLAUTERBACH** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 1:01 am

Got mine the other day. Was surprised the light bulb does not glow. Agree with some of you might have to try some GITD paint.

Postby **Pinspops** » Wed Aug 21, 2019 2:05 am

Very disappointed that it doesn't glow but it's a cool looking pop

I'm actually tempted to drill a hold through the back to insert an LED.
