NYCC Brook Rumored to be Rereleased

Postby funkydaddypops » Sun Oct 27, 2024 9:39 am

There is a rumor that Funko intends to Rerelease the 2018 NYCC Brook One Piece Pop, While i am defintely going for it, if it indeed releases, Im conflicted on what that means going forward? For one it loses the special appeal of it being a con pop, it negates needing to go to a con if funko is just gonna release a pop after the con is over, Which then begs the question, why have con exclusives, secondly the value of the collection will go down since that pop is re-released. Again talking out of both sides of my mouth, I want to get the pop if it becomes available, however those who spent a good amount to get that Brook pop now might not feel good about it, again just wondering how everyone else feels about it?

Won’t be surprised if this happens again, as a lot of supposed to be con exclusives already got re-released, so there was already a precedent to this.

Most recent one I believe is the Wondercon Exclusive Eustass Kid.

Not a fan of re-release con pops as well, loses in rarity. But as we all know Funko and the copy pasta of some molds (looking at you Bakugo) isn't to different.

Yeah people paid high for this already, why even restocking old mold if they can make a new. There is no point coz that version is not even the best mold

I’m also curious on how it’s decided which ones get re-released. But if true on this particular figure, then good luck to those who are going for it!

I hope this isn’t true. Hopefully it’s for the Bronx
one to be released. Still great for those that didn’t
get the con one.

I'd love to own 1, but these re releases kill the value of the og's. Just my opinion though, I've been collecting funko pops since 2011 and when they re released glow all might I was bummed out. I paid 200 for the og and the value tanked. I mean it's great for those collectors who don't have the pop but it stinks for those who paid top dollar to have the pop.

I do need a Brook in my OP collection in his "normal" outfit but it also feels cheapening of the rarity and chase behind it. But boy oh boy can I not afford to pick one up anyways so if rumor is true...would be so beneficial to say the least OH HOOHOHHHOOO

I am hearing this as well, again it was a rumor because I couldn't find anything legit to confirm, If it indeed is the bronze statute then okay lol, again i was worried they were in fact going to do this. Would have made me rethink about paying top money for an OG pop if they intend to rerelease.

Yes thats true, I remembered when it was stated it was a late supply that was "Found". But when you got one of these pops and looked at the manufacturer date, it showed it was produced well after the con. That was frustrating but, again i was able to get one,

I completely forgot about All Might!! again not to talk out of both sides of my mouth, i purchased the restock as well, so i know i talk about concern for collection values, but at the same time Funko definitely has restocked, I So now the question is, when will Planet Arlia Vegeta Restock!!! :D

If I had to ask for one to be re-release it would be Green Arrow #15 from the OG DC line. It would be interesting as in helpful and hurting the value at the same time. :freddy3:

My sentiments exactly. Would love to have it in my collection , but definitely not a good move to start re-releases especially of a convention exclusive.

Unless I'm confused, are we talking about gold version of the mold? I was under the impression that this is the path moving forward.

I noticed a few sale posts throughout the day as well. Can’t blame them with the rumor. I wonder how they’re deciding which stuff to “re-release”. I would imagine demand drives it but who knows with convention stuff.

Well since it looks like it will be a bronze version the pop hopefully people realize that, again rumors are just that, rumors unless Funko confirms it officially.

Agreed that this probably isn't happening. Despite all of the anime restocks recently, it's very rare to see any convention exclusive restocks after such a long time from its release

Instead of rereleasing it, I'd hope they do an updated mold of it so that new collectors have an opportunity to get it while also respecting the secondary market value of it.

That does seem to be the case, it looks to be what Funko is in fact doing. A Bronze version of this pop.

Would love to see another version because I love Brook and him in that outfit is so awesome. I would also be really upset if I spent a lot on the con one and they re released it. If they are doing the bronze statue similar to that one I would likely still get it as well.

I saw a video from Toy Tokyo when the PA shipment was delayed and it didn't show up to the con. The owner then put them out on the shelves at toy Tokyo and they didn't sell right away, so he offered them to his employees as payment for working the con and they refused taking PA. They probably regret it now lol.

Wow, i wasnt into collecting then, and even now i think about it, once i did start collecting, it took me awhile before i got into Anime, but man, to see a bunch of NYCC pops stacked and nobody wanting them?? So crazy to me!! I bet a bunch of the employees really do regret it! lol
