Happy 2009, Brian!

Are we getting more redecos of the Sleestak bank?

Is the Sleestak bank going 24" for 2009?

Any "Land of the Lost" retailer exclusives for 2009?

For Funko Completists on a budget, Any chance of bumping the limited editions of 24 to a higher run? Increasing the production run to 40-50, maybe?

Thank you.

Carol..pretty good believe it or not..

Funko partnering with giants like Walmart and Target certainly helps...

Overseas it is tough..BUT Funko is working on some RADICAL Funko Styled Electronics items that will BLOW people away...
Stay tuned, as they are worth the wait!!!!

Great question!
As always good financial success means more obscure characters..
Can't tell you how excited I was to get that 12" Grape Ape finished!

I can tell ya that I am in negotiations to do one of your above..but leave it at that for now..

HB fans do have a new product line coming your way...I think everyone will like it!

Unfortunately probably not on Adams or Munsters...
I am sure we have a 24 or 20" up our sleeve for 2009...

Funko has some Funko Force stylized items that we are holding very close to the vest...but will freak people out...unreal stuff....but we have to wait until May to unveil!

yes to additional crystals..and we are going to mess around with these new metallic paints on some cool 24's and 48's....

Great news on the Sleestak Urban vinyl Brian :D (repaints are fun but I'm more excited about new sculpts... a retro Sleestak or Enik sitter would be awesome too)

Any chance of Marvel-style ROM Spaceknight (license owned by Hasbro) or the Marvel-style Micronauts? (license owned by Ken Abrams or Marvel depending on the character)

oh and will we be seeing Deadpool in the Marvel line?
