I was so excited for the bug's life pop. It made me so happy for sure.

I do think lotos is pretty cool. I like what they are doing with these 25th anniversary pop. I am on the fence about it because I am afraid once I am in I couldn't stop. I wonder all the different ones they do this year.

I almost bit on the Batman one but thankfully held strong LOL!

You can get there on time then wait still to get in while the con is happening. So I like it like this. This year has been the best drop so far also.

Yeah I really like the fact that it seems they are applying more effort to wondercon and I do think that if they continue to expand the offerings at wondercon it will draw more people in. I’d even like it if they could do a mini fundays type event, maybe not as grand but something small to celebrate during wondercon but baby steps. They are doing good so far!

With Disneyland being literally across the street from Wondercon and a lot of Funko's most profitable and popular properties being Disney, I'm actually a little surprised there hasn't been either an official or even unofficial event that's Disney-themed or located somewhere within the Disney campus (hotel, downtown Disney, the parks, etc.)

Man they went to lottery so I guess it’s grown since last year.

the box is so cool but I agree - don't want to get into something else.

If Funko does one thing, it grows.

I am so glad POP/PEZ are back! I hope that they continue making them not just so many so fast.

Stoked for the recent panel announcement. I wonder who we might see with Brian and Mike.

Powerline! Lots of Disney. I need that Poison Ivy! She’s one of my favs.

Same. Bug’s life is underrated. I like Avengers campus but I was sad to see Bug’s life gone from Disneyland Calif Adventure.

Feel like this is the best Wondercon in years!

I’m digging that Bugs Bunny Soda

I was genuinely shocked when I seen that they were requiring a lottery for the event this time. I wonder what inspired the change

Could be a mandate/request by CCI in order to alleviate bunching of people.

Not a ton of love for the sodas but they are must haves imo.

Ooo I remember lining up so early on the Friday! Like 6 am? It was so fun being in line and seeing people! We lined up near the food cart area!
Then I remember Saturday, I left my roommates Tanner and Austin sleeping so I could go early And I swooped by the hotel breakfast and got a big bowl of raisins that I proceeded to eat all day

I thought last years lineup was great. People were respectful and organized. Didn't see the problem with it.

True cause I’ve seen some craziness come out of people when it comes to bunching up.

I agree it went smooth last year/

I think my top three have to be Clown Freddy, the glow cube and Snagglepuss soda.

I lucked out on all 3 days. Hopping to get in when the booth opens up for everyone.

Some incredible offerings this year. WonderCon is always a great show, and excited to see Funko leaning into it. Only wish there had been a MOTU exclusive!! Everything else looks great, though!

Powerline and Herc, need!

Yeah the weather here has been a bit wonky, you know us Californian’s are not use to actual seasons. roflmao:

But it makes it so much easier to spot the out-of-towners! Anyone in line bundled up like they're going to the arctic is a Californian....anyone wearing normal clothing came in from somewhere else to buy their pops! lol

I like the lotso as well. It is so cool. I think the vault ideas are pretty amazing.

Nice to hear it was good last year. That's a big contrast to SDCC when it was the wild west, at least on preview night.

You just described me, I can’t stand being cold. lol

I love the Powerline pop, but I'm a bit salty that the diamond variant is locked behind the bag

Postby **joshuadoescosplay** » Thu Mar 23, 2023 6:00 pm

While it seemingly makes it more difficult to acquire the few things I want from this con, I’m stoked to see all the new stuff they’re implementing to keep things at single purchases per households. Genuinely curious if it works or if it backfires tomorrow.

Got a broken ankle, so this wasn't in the cards this year. But luckily only eyeing the Snagglepuss and Bugs Sodas. Feeling more FOMO about those awesome pins #spastikplastik4life
