Star Wars Celebration 2023 Pops!

[kdmlvr]

ive already started saving up...hopefully japan is attainable for me

The good thing is we have 2 years to plan and save!

True

It is tempting but we have 2 years to figure it out.

If 2025 really is going to have be a Star Wars movie year, maybe there will be a US based Celebration too.

TWO celebrations in one year! I would not financially recover LOL!

Are you looking at going to Japan?

[mattytreks]

Japan is such an incredible country and the city of Tokyo is just so incredibly integrated with comic/video game/anime culture that there's perhaps no better spot for the next Celebration. Very excited about the possibilities for this show, with Funko and in general.

You've nailed it here. Celebration 2025 is going to be the best Celebration maybe ever. I will definitely be going!

I'm hoping to go to Celebration 2025 too MattyTreks. It is one country I've always wanted to see, but the best Celebration will be 2027! 50th Anniversary!

can we get a glow yoda low le

That would be cool. It’s been a while since they released a yoda. I can definitely see a glow grogu.

yeah either one is fine .... shheesh makes me want to buya freddy yoda asap green is my favorite

[bluesnote]

Realised that i dont have a Yoda in my star wars collection yet, so would be great to get one of those.

There are tons out there

If you consider the glitter Grogu Yoda . But yea, no Yoda SWC pops. Really need one! Fingers crossed Japan yields one.

The Makuhari Messe -- the venue where Celebration will be hosted -- looks super futuristic and is the perfect venue to hold this event. Many of Japan's most popular pop-culture and action figure/toy events are held there each year.

Celebration aside, there is also a treasure trove of amazing Star Wars-related merchandise to be had in Japan...Tokyo will definitely be a fun place to explore while there.

Are you looking at going to Japan?

I missed London celebration by 2 weeks (went before to see family)...and we were already planning Japan in 2025 before the announcement was made! If we end up going to Japan that year I think a detour to SWC would be inevitable LOL!

It’s a great excuse to do both! I would really like to go to Japan one day.

[Jade10881]

Japan would be a dream. Will have to wait til Celebration comes back to Anaheim

We were set to go right before the pandemic started!

As were we.

Also, the timing (April) of Celebration 2025 means it should be sakura blossom season. This will be an incredible trip for those who make it.

[disneyfunkoaddict]

i still need to get my daughter these SW celebration pops from this year, she would love them.

Yeah, I was in Tokyo this past December and the sheer volume of comic, toy, anime, manga and pop culture stores was overwhelming and felt like I had died and gone to heaven. There are SO many cool stores that anyone visiting for the first time is gonna have the hard decision to make of how much time to spend at Celebration and how much time to spend exploring. (And this is to say nothing of the food, bars and other incredible offerings the city has outside of comics and toys culture.)

You've summed up the expected experience just about perfectly. Anywhere where I can 1.) attend Celebration, 2.) be overwhelmed with geek culture outside of Celebration, and 3.) eat my fill of ramen/katsu-do, is going to be a place that will be quite memorable. I've been yearning to go to Japan for over a decade now and for one reason or another have ended up going many places other than Japan. But 2025 is it -- it's happening!

[arnie]

Was a great day at DL yesterday!

[arnie]

Prob at the SDCC again tbh...

[mattytreks]

With the calendar flipped to May, we should start seeing SDCC reveals very soon.

ive already started saving up...hopefully japan is attainable for me

Id love to try and go for a jedi badge.

It's totally worth it, if you're able to get one. Having the piece of mind that you'll have access to the main panels and be amongst the first to enter the show floor, is completely worth the price tag to me. Especially now with the lottery system that makes attending panels and attaining exclusives a luck of the draw.

Having Celebration 2025 in Japan was the push I needed to finally plan a trip to Japan as well. It's going to be a great time!

[Blitzfreeze]

Really looking forward to celebration in Japan as well, I'm in a discord server dedicated to celebration to help me plan and coordinate.

Most definitely. The buildup to this event is going to be insane.

Awesome and congratulations on going hope you have a wonderful time

[Blitzfreeze]

Had a blast in the UK, my first time out of North America, but didn't really feel that different from like...Chicago. Definitely looking forward to Japan.

[FuegoGlorious]

Is jar jar high? regardless had to buy, no choise

Japan is insanely fans of Star Wars. I would think they are more innovative over there. But I may be wrong. I want to goto Japan for other many reasons also. You’re going to have fun!!

[ascaryman]

SWC Japan is going to be crazy. Hope they have some of the OG samurai sketches for Darth as a pop exclusive.

[BatLita]

Since a few Pops have been shown, what do you think the chances are of a surprise Pop? If so, what do you guess it could be?

Honestly who doesn’t like a surprise. I think when random pops get dropped at events it makes it more exciting. So Im hoping there are some random ones.

I hoped so too - the people at the event were so nice, even without the surprises
