Gemini Retro Freddy!

The first to post their Gemini Munchkin Freddy.

Congrats, Jordan.

I ordered a Sharknado Pop with mine so it may be a while until I see one . At least I got a package from Sweden so I can now finish the new display cases.

Is that code for Ikea? Man, their stuff is great and priced right, but sometimes putting the cases together can be maddening. Good luck!

And just to be clear, this is a production sample, they are not in stock or shipping from Gemini yet

Ikea it was, Josh. I've put together 7 of their glass doored Billy bookcases in the past, and just figured out how to make one of the adjustments on the doors. I found that I needed to loosen a screw before installing the hinge and the door so I could then make the (in and out) adjustment. Once installed, there's no way to turn that screw. If only they noted that on the instructions. #-o

Ugh, yeah. That's the worst. It's like you need a manual for the manual. We decided to be fancy one year and put cloth inside our glass Billy door. It was so bad my wife almost threw a hammer at me. And all the while, the little man in the manual just smiled his lifeless smile.

Hoping this is the right place to ask this, but how many Retro Freddy have there been so far for public release? Just this one and the 'Freddy Says Relax' one? Were the figures with the Funko, Pop, and Reaction shirts limited only to 10 signed ones or is there plans for a regular unsigned release of those as well?

You are correct, only the Freddy Says Relax and Gemini Collectibles shirts have been released.
There is also the new Bangkok Comic Con retro Freddy that looks like a bobble-head on a black base.
There won't be a regular release for the retro Freddys with POP!, ReAction, Toy Fair, Mystery Minis, and Funko.

That looks awesome Jordan. I am glad I ordered one.

Thanks for the clarification kevintree. Hopefully there will be even more variants of this figure in the near future.

I am going to assume you are kidding/poking fun

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:23 pm

No, i'm not poking fun...i was wondering if they looked exactly like the production piece...how could one tell it was a production sample ?

Postby **TheJobaFett** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:46 pm

It just came to Steve boxless...no other identifying features...the figure itself is identical.

No offense but what's the difference then? Did you get the first one? I'm still happy that you got it

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 11:16 am

Probably no visible difference...but production samples that look like the production piece, i put a little note on the bottom of the foot on a sticky saying that it is a production sample...just kind of a neat piece of funko history.

Wasn't sure if there was a real difference or not. It's still cool since its kinda the "first of the batch" so to speak.

Basically

From what I understand, they just pulled the first few off the production line, wrapped them up and sent them to Steve for his approval/just to have. The boxes are generally printed in a separate factory.

Nice to know the Freddys are on the move.

Postby **kevinbuddha** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:28 pm

I already have a Freddy Funko with Gemini Collectibles on it.

Postby **Kitzka** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 9:29 pm

I'm going to be so jealous when you all get yours. I preordered mine with some other pops that have not come out yet. So I have to wait.

Can't wait to see the Freddys roll in!!

I got my notification as well. I can't wait!

Postby **sclarke03** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 11:16 pm

I was so excited to get my shipping confirmation today, that I almost forgot I still have to wait nearly another week for it to arrive... d'oh!

Postby **Alleycat** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 1:25 pm

Congrats!

I'll be waiting a bit longer on mine. I ordered some other stuff that have not yet made it to Gemini. Saving $$ on shipping.
