New Funko POP! Vinyl Exclusives Coming to Walgreens
This month saw the first Walgreens Marvel Comics exclusive figures in the Funko POP! Vinyl figure line. Now it looks Walgreens will be getting POP! Vinylu exclusives from another Disney licensee–Star Wars!
A Bothan spy contacted us this morning with information from the Walgreens stock system showing four upcoming items all listed as “POP! STAR WARS EXCLUSIVE”
This revelation is no surprise. At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International Walgreens announced 6-Inch figure exclusives–the first was Agent Venom in Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line. This was quickly followed by the Prototype Boba Fett in Hasbro’s Star Wars 6-inch Black Series figure line. That Funko would follow a similar pattern–release four Marvel POP! exclusives first, then four Star Wars POP! exclusives, makes sense.
The Walgreens exclusive Marvel POP! Vinyls are just now starting to appear in Walgreens stores. With both Black Outfit Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 packed 1 per case eBay prices have soared as high as $60. Star Wars collectors should brace themselves for similar short-packed figures.
More information on this will likely be revealed at Toy Fair International, taking place this coming weekend in New York City. Star Wars Action News and Marvelicious Toys will both be covering the events, so be sure to follow them through social media for the latest updates on all Star Wars and Marvel toys!
Walgreens Exclusive Funko Pop Vinyl Figures Hitting Stores
Is your spider sense tingling? If so that could be because you’re in danger of not finding one of the Walgreens exclusive Spider-Man Pop! Vinyl figures!
Last year Funko announced an exclusive wave of their hit Marvel Comics Pop! Vinyl Figures would be coming to Walgreens stores. Those figures are now hitting, and we have an exclusive look at the case assortment. Each Walgreens will be getting:
- 3 Punisher Pop! Vinyl Figures
- 3 Venom Pop! Vinyl Figures
- 1 Spider-Man 2099 Pop! Vinyl Figure
- 1 Black Suited Spider-Man Pop! Vinyl Figure
As Spider-Man is most-recognized, and most profitable, superhero in the world it is odd that his figure would be the scarcest.
This picture comes to us from a Hydra spy who confirmed this case is straight from Funko and not repacked in this ratio by Walgreens’ own warehouse.
In addition to Spider-Man fans, the Pop! Vinyl figures are sought out even by non-comic fans. The cute appearance of figures has created its own fandom with collectors trying to buy every Pop! Vinyl Funko releases, and some of the rarest have sold for over $250 on eBay.
Will these Spider-Man figures be that rare, or will future case assortments ship more of these wall-crawling varients? Follow Marvelicious Toys on Facebook and @MarveliciousToy on Twitter to stay abreast of all the latest Marvel collecting news!
