Box of Fun 2022

Postby **gokou105** » Tue Jun 28, 2022 4:15 am

Wonder if they will sell box of fun before or during fundays...if they include a mascot, maybe they should sell before so people can cheer for their team if they have a live stream.

It'll be during Fundays so that no one inside MGH will double dip and buy an online one too. Not for lack of trying but because it is a faraday cage for cell service in there.

Wow, that’s great! Did my very best to get one in a trade but no one was willing to fork it over. It’ll be one that I’ll always desire but will probably never get.

I traded a proto for a Dr. Strange Freddy and I do not regret it in the least.

Now we need to know what the proto was though! Congrats on the trade, glad you're happy with it! $\:D/$

Wonder Woman from Justice League. As you can probably tell by my forum name I'm a Marvel fan first.

YUP most likely during Fundays!

I was thinking the same about the release time of the online BoFs too. Good point regarding them being sent out prior to the event to have folks cheer on their team, but I do have a feeling it will be during the event. Maybe stream the event through Twitch and have the link drop there :-k

Is the terrible cell service in that room strategery? I think so....

What is MGH?

On a different topic, is it confirmed that they'll have the BOF available online?

MGH (Manchester Grand Hyatt) is the hotel that Fundays is at and yes there will be a box of fun online, info to come later on how it will be released or it will drop during Fundays

And yes, there will be an online drop for the Box of Fun. Confirmed here https://www.funko.com/blog/article/sdcc ... ed-to-know

Fright night had the bag of glee, which had a couple pops, a couple dorbz, and a couple minis. Probably similar to what they will have this year but substitute dorbz for soda.

I love sodas

I'm so curious to see if sodas somehow get incorporated into the BOF. I can't picture the BOF without pops, but sodas are SO popular, and that makes me wonder!

I don't think they would be in the box but they could probably be a prize that they distribute!

I know for Funkon the BOF arrived before FunKon started.

There has been an online box of fun for 2018 and 2019 in tandem with the live event going on.

The real question is, will 2022 have all the same Freddy chances or will it be like previous Fundays where online had different possibilities versus the in person show?

I’m hoping different possibilities like it did in the past! I wish we got reception in the ballroom haha

Postby **hawkman2** » Tue Jun 28, 2022 7:55 pm

But we will all try, ofcourse it's been 3 years, maybe service got better?

That was most likely because of the team related wearables and the fact that most people still weren’t traveling or being around others. Funkon boxes also weren’t available at actual Funkon.

I'm guessing box of fun will be sold online during fundays....would it be different Freddy's like before pre pandemic?

Perhaps a mixture of 3 pops & 1 soda.

I think that would be a great mix. I think my Stranger Things BOF had a dorbz in it, but the Tikis just had Freddy's, if I'm remembering correctly? Would love to see a nice mix of products, all of them Freddys of course! Keeping my fingers crossed that I get through online for the BOF!

I can totally picture everyone just LOSING IT if sodas are a team prize. Would definitely break the previous noise records! :shock:

I’m really hoping that it will be similar to the first online one where the pops were different from the in person event and the general public. I also wish that I have a strong internet connection while at Fundays lol

This is also what I'm hoping for but I'll also be at Fundays. I guess I'll see what my partner wants to do. The struggle of being a Funatic haha

Same, I enjoyed last year's boxes! My favorite was Freddie Freddy, and the mascots were a lot of fun! Can't wait to see what this year brings us!

The mascots are okay IMO, I believe Funko will go forward with this. Different mascots. I wonder what mascots they will have for “Fright Night”

I agree, I think they will as well. I wonder how that'll work with the actual events though? Easy enough to ship the correct mascot to the online orders, but making sure the correct mascot gets assigned to the correct section of the room is a complication. I wonder if the mascots won't be in the in-person BOFs, but are handed out to the tables? Very curious to hear everyone's experiences after Fundays!

I’m assuming that the team items will be in a separate box—especially if they do team-branded thundersticks and bandanas again—and you’ll be handed the appropriate team box to match your lanyard.

Lots of luck. Although I’m thinking it’s going to be a random drop just like 2019.

historically, at least for me, my phone has been a brick while in the ballroom. i don't believe a public wifi option was available either. i now this because since i'm from florida i like to send msgs to my wife and i can never do it until i'm out of the event and its way late on the east coast. i also remember that one year at alot of ppl went outside of the ballroom to try and snag the online BOF. i could have followed suit but i wasn't overly motivated i guess lol

This is so true and the worst. I would pay good money to have some wifi in the MGH ballroom . Here's to hoping they have added some APs in there for public wifi in the last 3 years.

thats the thing, since its been so long and i really never made it a point to look, i don't know if they have wifi and it requires a PW for hotel guests? maybe someone who has stayed at the MGH and gone to fundays can chime in :-k

I liked the trade even more after Justice League hit the theaters, a lot of wasted potential there.

Just about none in that dining room where Fundays was in 2019!
