The Enigmatic Ahsoka SDCC Hall H POP 78 (4/13/24) the COUNT continues)

[Chase Variant]

Ahsoka is the one Star Wars character I’m completist about, so I’m hoping this turns up some place I can attend.

[drtorch]

My bet is it turns up at Star Wars Celebration Europe

[PopPChulo]

I can only assume it shall surface with a new round of exclusives

I hope so!

we all hope it comes out

Lol it’s definitely going to surface at some point. Whether it’s at this years fundays or the next hall h event; they will definitely drop it. I’m still genuinely confused how some even slipped out through the cracks

That's a fascinating story. What happened on site is that Funko failed to obfuscate the boxes properly, so once the sharks smelled blood in the water and knew what boxes numbers meant which pops, they started mobbing the distro area. This with the fact that Funko and CCI got their wires severely crossed on distro (Funko stated at the panel it went until 7pm, but distro actually closed at 5pm when the convention closed) and THEN it got so intense the fire Marshall had to evacuate certain areas of the distro hotel because of the mass of people trying to scam and trade as people exited the building, plus all the people waiting for "box 5" to show up inside with Ahsoka since by process of elimination all other pops were figured out.

As always rumor traveled fast, and the volunteers handing out the pops are just that, volunteers, as are most people at SDCC because CCI only pays a very tiny handful of people (we saw this when their tax info was leaked last year) none of which were on site at an offsite distro. So one of the volunteers after closing obviously found the pallet with the box 5s that never got broken into (because distro didn't last long enough to get to them, they were apparently in the very back) and opened a box and stole a couple ahsokas out of it, at least two we know of.

This is wild! Now it makes more sense with your explanation of events. Thanks for the 411 on this topic. Definitely planning to stay longer on Sunday to make sure I don’t miss anything.

That's a crazy story! I volunteered last year for the retail distribution, but I was only part of the crew that did the SDCC con only merchandise like the shirts and stuff that was only sold with the SDCC logo on it.

Sheesh yeah that is indeed a very crazy story

[rexflexall]

Hopefully Funko will just gift me one of these Ahsokas? LOL

[Bam808]

Hopefully it shall be released in the near future, one ive been definetely keeping my eyes open for.

[runtodere]

Hopefully Funko will just gift me one of these Ahsokas? LOL

That's a nice gift.....

[theraven00]

Wow, that’s a crazy story but also makes sense. Reminds me of the Mono Conan giveaway that had to be canceled on the last day due to overly aggressive people.

This makes so much sense and crazy at the same time.I'm surprised any made them back to Funko honestly

[DougieFresh_83]

My bet is it turns up at Star Wars Celebration Europe

This is what I'm thinking as well. It would be a perfect spot for it to pop up.

Sounds about on par with most of the things they have done lately. Just another event some kind of enforcement had to be involved. .

[NoobMaster69]

With SDCC 2023 a few months out, perhaps they’ll just bring it back? Considering the sticker already says Hall H, I think that would be ideal for SDCC tickets holders already hahaha. I’m certainly saying this from a biased standpoint btw. I’m sure many can agree too hahaha

Yikes. I went later and tried to wait it out but they said I had to take what was there and leave. All the boxes on the table were the same ugh. I got a stranger things so can’t complain.

[Weazel01]

This pop still hasn’t surfaced yet? Interesting, the one I really wanted was the Cobra Kai one

[Pryde72]

I would not be surprised to see it turn up at Celebration in the UK

It makes sense

[NoobMaster69]

This pop still hasn’t surfaced yet? Interesting, the one I really wanted was the Cobra Kai one

Johnny Lawrence? I’ve see quite a few for sale - pretty sure you can check eBay for one and snag it. The pop was pretty sweet and I think it was LE500?

[willy wonka]

Yeah that is another possibility. But they would still have the hall H stickers on them unless the just put the other sticker over top.

[Pryde72]

Yeah that is another possibility. But they would still have the hall H stickers on them unless the just put the other sticker over top.

My honest feeling is that they wouldn’t change the stickers, and no one would care

[PopPChulo]

Yeah that is another possibility. But they would still have the hall H stickers on them unless the just put the other sticker over top.

I honestly feel like they could use them for Hall H 2023 and no one would complain

[Mario Wario]

That would be cool

That would be cool

Indeed.

[FunkOCD]

Yeah that is another possibility. But they would still have the hall H stickers on them unless the just put the other sticker over top.

It's in the landfill already! LOL

[runtodere]

I just realized - knowing Funko now that they know the demand they're going to produce another 100K of them and make them a common. Ha

I was staying at the Hyatt and saw all the chaos. I had no idea this all happened. It explains a lot. I am a huge Star Wars collector and Ahsoka was the only one I really wanted. The others were cool, but that was the one I was hoping for. I still have never seen one.

[Blitzfreeze]

One sold on eBay, and one was auctioned off for over five grand on a Facebook live? auction I believe it was.

[Legion Of Boom]

If there's a box-of-fun this year, my guess is that we see it at Fundays or maybe even put randomly in the online BOF. Imagine it being in the online BOF, that would cause some sort of hysteria LOL
