Is there any possible way of getting into contact with Funko about these?


We can hope they will read this thread and see how excited we are about them! :D

I hope to God that if Funko releases these figures they won't do it over the Funko Shop.
Will Funko make Earthbound pops before Nintendo releases Mother 3?

This is a dream set. I've been wanting these forever, and even missed this topic. I really hope they come out soon. Maybe SDCC?

Probably will be a con exclusive in conjunction with the online shop but sadly I think the chance a store gets them is gone.

Well, I contact Funko about these. 99% certain I won't get a response, but hopefully this shows some interest in the product and helps them get released in some form.

Yes, they did, but i preorder stuff all the time so they defaulted to moving it to something else


Ah I see. I don’t preorder from Gamestop as much anymore since they’re a little overpriced and I was always getting my preorders weeks after the release date.


understandable. I only preorder GS exclusives and any figures with a chase that I want. any other commons I get elsewhere.

So Funko responded with the following:

Thanks for reaching out to us! We're not able to provide information about items that haven't officially been announced in our blog, but we would highly recommend signing up for our newsletter at the bottom of the funko.com homepage- it's the best place to stay up to date with our releases!

Thank you,
The Funko Support Team


At least I got a response. Hopefully, we get these figures at some point in the near future and at least they didn't say they don't have any plans.

I’ve heard good stories about people ordering for chases but usually only when they have a good relationship with the employees. But I’ve also heard a bunch more stories about employees screwing with mystery boxes so theres that too

Well since we are still talking about this...my pre-orders have still yet to be cancelled. I have yet to be forced to move the funds around to something else.
Still holding onto that sliver of hope lol

yeah, they're good and bad relationships with retailers.... and collectors too can be a handful.... I don't abuse their preorder system.... I've heard stories of people preordering 6 to try for a chase and cancel 5 meaning the store is stuck with 5 extra in their inventory which causes a backlog and less of a chance of them getting more inventory in stock in the future

I'm just happy that there is interest in this product. Again, if you really want this to happen, you can always message Funko so they at least know there is interesting in this line.

I really hope these do end up being made. But please Funko don't put them up on the shop as a set. I don't have the money to shell out like that at once.

I don't have any inside info but if I had to make and educated guess...I'd say they are going to do this at some point since they were in GS system...maybe there was a license issue or maybe they deciyto release them somewhere else but either way I'm sure someday they will be a reality!!

I didn't want to face reality but I went into my Gamestop to check on this pre order and they finally were able to tell me that they were cancelled. I was holding out until they got a definitive answer but at least now I have extra $$$ for FDO Vegas.
