Seems like this movie has a cult following.

Will definitely add this movie in my must watch list.

Yes! IT IS AMAZING! People need to respect

now was it a coincidence he's at NYCC or a stroke of brilliance?

Definitely.. I first saw around when it came out and I was young.

It might not have aged so well for newcomers since it is future based and their guess at technology missed the mark.

Genius planning no doubt

Classic character from a great movie. Equally excited as most are about this one.

So many great NYCC pops revealed but this one is my favorite so far. The design is spot on

Postby **Trendkill24hr** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 6:58 pm

Im loving NYCC so far, and I’m loving this pop. I need all things John Carpenter!

Postby **mactds** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 9:11 pm

Not many pops come along that are just so nostalgia and bad a** Keep 'em coming Funko!

Postby **FireEmblemZack** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 11:53 pm

Wait I thought he was dead???? lol

Such an amazing POP. I love that Funko continues to make stuff for cult classics including The Warriors which is another top favorite of mine.
This announcement today inspired me to rewatch Escape from New York and yep, it still kicks butt!

Yes! It’s a great movie but I haven’t seen it since Blockbuster was still open to rent vhs movies lol

Now I wonder if they’ll make an Escape from LA variant...but a lot don’t want to remember that sequel. LoL

are we officially the 'old guys that yell at kids on twitter' now? i find myself doing it more often these days #-o

I haven't been this excited about a Pop release in a while, let alone a con exclusive. This is definitely at the top of my want list for the moment so crossing my fingers I'm able to get it. I still put this or the sequel on EVERY time it's on TV.

Postby **Trendkill24hr** » Thu Sep 17, 2020 1:14 pm

Now I’d like to see Kurt Russel from the Thing

I Agree. This year for me has been so bland. :rolleyes:

I agree!!!! And a Roddy Piper from They Live to continue the John Carpenter goodness!!!

He looks awesome. Now I really worry about being able to get him

Same - I've definitely heard about this many times, but I think it is finally time to watch it!

Postby **rexflexall** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 12:31 pm

Friggin' epic!

Postby **FireEmblemZack** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 12:50 pm

Interesting that it would have been show only!!!! Makes sense for Escape from New York being a New York Con show only but phew, makes it easier for us to get it hopefully!!!

I believe “They Live” was rumored somewhere. Need.

I’m thinking it means they all have con stickers, like Babe Ruth from last year. Also it doesn't look like it’s numbered like Ben from Umbrella Academy, so there must be a lot More of them.

Postby **Imagery** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 2:32 pm

A little concerned this is show only, but hoping there's enough to go around... or that it's niche enough that only people who really want it will go for it. *fingers crossed

Not having an actual LE count adds to the case, than it having an absolute number.

Finally, been waiting patiently for this one.

Postby **NCDS** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 9:58 pm

My heart broke when I saw Con (shop) only. This is amazing

Postby **scullysdad** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 10:04 pm

Really hoping this is not limited (or at least more so than any normal Funko Shop drop) but I think I am going to just try and get this from the Funko Shop and nothing else to minimize the time before I try to checkout. My other must have is the Junji Ito Souichi Pop but I will try Hot Topic online (and barring that, line up at the store in the morning) for that to give me a better chance.

Postby **lavery01** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 10:51 pm

They nailed Kurt Russell’s likeness, This pop looks awesome!

Hopefully this will be an easy cop. :cheers:
