Not sure why but I don’t think this Ahsoka will be a Hall H thing. I bet she will show up in giveaways and who knows what else?
This has become my favorite thread on the forum.
they really can't keep doing a few here and there, it been almost a year and they maby have handed out 30 (and a few got stolen) at this rate the last ones will be handed out in over a decade. Plus the ahsoka show is coming this year.
Knowing Funko they will probably prolong things. It makes sense for them to use this as Marketing tool to help bring more ppl to various events. Like Hall H was pretty small last year. If people think there is a chance for Ahsoka to show up it will drive crowds of ppl to attend. For me personally I wanted to go to Funkon 2, and drove up to Wondercon cause I thought there was a small chance she could of been given out. Having more hype for an event is a great thing. Even though I didnt get one there I had 2 friends (that both happened to be SW's fans) both got lucky with a ticket and I was super excited for them. Winning something from an event has so much more meaning (well to me personally) then it would just to get one from a random mystery box.
They messed up the initial handout then handed out a few here and there cause they had them on hand anyway not as a way to cause some hype else they whould also have shown up at star wars celebration in the UK when they showed the Ahsoka trailer, and if it was for some hype they whould never have planned to hand them all out at the same time in the first place anyway.
Again if they keep handing out a few here and there at this rate it wil be over a decade before they al handed out and people will lose interest well before that time (there only so many times someone wil get hyped for a tiny chance to get one just to get disapointed again), not to mention it will pretty much screw anyone over in the EU that wants one cause they rarely if ever do any type of these events there and online prices would stay insane.
And them continuing with such a slow trickle of these from a very beloved character whould really leave a sour taste in alot of fans mouths, the only ones benefiting from a slow trickle whould be resellers.
