2018 MLB Pop! Giveaways!

[Bookishkali]

Hey Guys!

I figured I’d try to put all the MLB Pop! giveaways I know about in one post to help out my fellow funatics!

Also before we get into the good stuff:
-I’ve only ever been to Mariners games so I have more info on those games than the rest!
-If you have advice or tips for any of the games please let us know in the comments!
-Ticket prices are just the base prices-keep in mind that there are usually fees associated with any ticket seller, taxes, and there could also be a fee depending on how you want your ticket delivered.
-I’ll try to keep this as updated as possible with things like changed start times/rescheduling, pictures, piece counts and possibly (dun-dun-dunnn) variant info as that information becomes available.

Ken Griffey Jr. Pop! Collectable Night

This game is also Oktoberfest so you could also buy a special events ticket which includes a View level ($39) or Main level ($51) ticket and an Oktoberfest stein and drink voucher. You would still enter the park normally and receive your Pop! so this is a nice option if you want a Stein. Also the drink voucher is redeemable for non-alcoholic beverages so if your under 21 this is still an option. For these tickets you can use the link below and enter OKTOBERFEST as the promo code.

Tampa Bay Rays



Kevin Kiermaier STAR WARS Pop! Vinyl

I’m going to guess it’s probably 20,000 pieces
-Tickets (at least single game tickets) do not go on sale until sometime next week so I will update prices and provide a link when they go on sale.
-Parking runs $15-$30
You can prepay parking on Rays website and I would assume with ticket purchase-I will update when I find out more!

As a final note-you guys should definitely check out some of the other special events going on at your local baseball parks. In the past couple years I’ve seen a lot more pop culture themed giveaways at baseball games (an example of this is a SOLO themed shirt at the May 18th Giants Game!) and it is a fun, and in Seattle at least, affordable way to spend a day at a sporting event! Also Hot Dogs and Nachos!

Wow thanks for doing this Kaliko! I’m going to be at both of the Mariner games! I’m just hoping for no crazy limited exclusives this time around. My luck ran out when I got my gold King Felix pop.

I’m definitely going to be at both games! I got the regular Felix and I’m going to eventually have to get that Sunday Alt uniform!

Congrats on the Gold Felix!!! I’m glad a funatics got one of these guys! One day I’ll find one

[LiquidTease]

Thank you for this list and information. I'm hoping to hit up a Mariners game and the Giants game.

[Blazingorchidlv]

Awesome thanks for this!!! Going to have to keep track... hoping my Dodgers do a Pop giveaway!! I can’t wait for the Kershaw Pop to drop!!

[sho12ty78]

Yay...thanks for the info...definitely going to the mariners game. Yeah, hopefully no gold Ken Jr. but since their is a gold statue in front of the stadium, it most likely will get one ..ugh, i still want it!

[willy wonka]

Awesome thread thanks for posting.

[funkystark]

So excited to see this finally happening, even though not for my home team but still it's step in the right direction: getting rid of those horrid ceramic? bobbleheads

[newhousebailey]

This is awesome. Hoping they make an appearance at an Astro's game, but that Griffey Jr!!!!

[Coqui79]

Thank you for doing this it helps a lot. I’ll probably be making a mini vaca to San Fran. I would like to attend the Mariners for KGJr but might not be able to.

[jarroyo2491]

Vic, count me in I’ll be down to go make a trip out of it.

I’m hoping pops will become a staple in the MLB stadium giveaways-they are definitely nicer than the ceramic bobble heads! I’m hoping we’ll find out about more giveaways as the season gets closer-I don’t think all the teams have done announcements yet!

[Jortega321]

I want more Star Wars themed ones

[Bookishkali]

Maybe we can start a help thread for the MLB giveaways-I’m going to take my family to the games so I’ll wind up with extra Pops of Nelson Cruz and Ken Griffey Jr. My family just goes for the nachos and family time! Also in Seattle this is one of the few affordable sports events you can go to.

[CaseyJones14]

Cooooome on Royals you need to have one too! Bo Jackson breaking the bat on his helmet is turning 30 years old soon!

[LatinFunko]

Very intrigued by the Griffey pop. Loved his swing.

[Rickakatuna]

I need to get those MLB pops. I can't make it to those games so eBay right away. I got king felix at the game which was cool. I didn't even know about king griffey jr

[Marvelfanatic86]

Thank you for listing ... funko does it again ! It's s win win for both funko and MLB. I see this happening in other sports too ! This will be interesting !

[Hopesdenial]

I really like the Jack Jack; hopefully Funko does it for the Angels or Dodgers sometime soon.

[Fawny]

If the Cubs did this, I would fall over. I'd beg, plead, and give my third born to get one. (Disclaimer: I don't have a third born and no plans to ever have a third born. )

[JetLifer]

Duude I need Ken Griffey Jr he was one my favorites to watch when I was little

[esteban123]

Ken Griffey is a must for me. All time favorite baseball player despite being a giants fan. Hopefully one day they do a Barry Bonds pop but that’s highly unlikely.

[scullysdad]

I am going to email the Milwaukee Brewers and ask them about getting on this for next year, I would love to see Pops of some of our guys and unless they are SGA I doubt we would ever see them.

I have a couple of friends who live in Seattle and I offered to buy them two cheap tickets for the Griffey game if I get the Pops, so hopefully they will take me up on that - the cheap seats are less expensive than the Pop will be on eBay judging by the King Felix prices. I was a huge fan of Griffey growing up.

[HockeyDad]

If the Giants one gets confirmed 100% to be the one in the photo, we'll definitely be there. Right now it has the photo, but in the description it says "as well as a Pixar-themed Giants item from the upcoming film The Incredibles 2, only available with the purchase of this Special Event ticket!".

[BenLo]

Thanks so much for putting the info together and those adding to it. This is awesome!

[striderboi]

If someone is able to get a extra Griffey, I’ll have a extra incredibles one.

[StarWarner]

Thanks for starting this list.

I would love to see some Angels and Dodgers Pops. And maybe a few of the teams that are closer to where I live now (east coast).

[theraven00]

I'm a lifelong Mariners fan and Griffey is my all-time favorite player, so I definitely need to get it. Since I live in AZ I'll probably have to go the ebay route, so hopefully that works as well as last time (with King Felix).

[akagalar]

This is a great thread, unfortunately it doesn't look like my team will have one.

[Lvpopcollector]

I am watching for the Dodgers to do one. I can’t wait for the Kershaw Pop to come out. My 2 favorite things together Dodgers and Pops!!!

[stichem05]

These are awesome.....waiting for a Met promotion.

[funko_vinz]

Can't wait to see the Griffey Pop. I'm hoping that they will make a DBacks Pop soon.....

[draemar]

Luckily 20000 made so should be easy to find later.

[Funko_Don]

I really like the Jack Jack; hopefully Funko does it for the Angels or Dodgers sometime soon.

Definitely need some Dodgers!!!

Would be cool with Justin Turner! Please!

[war2death]

I wanna see them bring back the MLB mascots line

[MattyPHATty]

Can't wait to see the Griffey Pop. I'm hoping that they will make a DBacks Pop soon.....

Very excited to see the Griffey pop as well. Already planning on attending that game for sure

[squidward]

I love the Incredibles Jack-Jack. I'm not a San Francisco Giants fan, but the Pop looks great.

[Blazingorchidlv]

Would be cool with Justin Turner! Please!
