Hold onto your wallets.

The Emerald City Comic Con team announced early on in 2021 that they would not be holding their annual Washington Comic Con in March - instead, it was announced that the in-person event would be moved to December, to give Covid some time to chill out and con-hoppers the adequate time to get vaccinated. Instead, Funko released their prepared exclusives as part of a virtual event, a trend that many collectors have gotten used to in the past few years.

When NYCC, another virtual release drop, happened unexpectedly late in October, some whispers finally started going around about a possible late, end of year, last-minute exclusives drop. Many people aptly pointed out that a few predicted Fall Convention exclusives were notably absent from Funko's last-minute announced line-up. Would these elusive products be released some time later? Or were they destined to disappear, their memory a mere distant dream in collectors' minds?

A week ago, we finally got our answer.

Funko announced on their blog on the 19th of November that they'd be hosting yet another drop of releases as part of Festival of Fun at ECCC from the 2nd until the 5th of December. "Welcome to the age of hybrid events!" they announced via the article. "Funko is elated to announce that we’ll be hosting a booth at Emerald City Comic Con’s in-person event in late 2021."

So what does that mean for those of us who aren't in Seattle?

It means buckle up: more exclusives are coming.

Funko announced a total of 19 new exclusives on their blog, a handful of which will be available to international retailers like Ozzie Collectables. In case you missed the social media storm, you can check out the list of releases here.

As expected, quite a few of the mysterious missing NYCC releases appear to be present in the line-up. There was some previous buzz about stickers, and whether some of these ECCC releases might actually have the Fall Convention exclusive stickers on their boxes due to the last-minute change in release plans from October to December.

As always, Ozzie cannot confirm exactly which exclusives will be available to us until the time of the drop, but we can tell you this: be prepared! Make sure you're ready and on our site at the time of the drop, which is happening yet again in the dead of night. The good news? It's on a weekend, so you won't be crawling to the office and siphoning espresso just to keep your eyes open the next day. You will, however, be taking home a nice new bunch of exclusives, the majority of which will not be privy to the same delays we saw in October. Phew!

This year, the ECCC Festival of Fun December drop is happening on Ozzie Collectables from 1am AEDT (Melbourne) time on Saturday the 4th of December. You can read the FAQ here.

Once again, in light of the ongoing virus situation, this will be a virtual event. Funko had this to say about the upcoming con: "Though we are not yet able to come together in the convention center, Funko brings Funatics another Funko Virtual Con celebration! As always, we want to keep the convention spirit alive so we will be bringing you Emerald City Comic Con® virtually with Funko's fifth virtual con! Funko Virtual Con Spring 2021 will take place March 1st, 2021 – March 5th, 2021! The week will be filled with giveaways, special guests, and more!"

Let's take a look at the exclusive products they've announced.

As always, Ozzie Collectables cannot confirm which exclusives will be available to us until the day of the sales event. Keep an eye on our social media and subscribe to our weekly email newsletter to keep up to date with all things ECCC and to ensure that you get your hands on your fave releases!

[Source: Funko POP News]

The last few years have been huge for Funko releases. What are you hoping to see to kick off this year's convention season? Let us know in the comments.

This was a big one. Whilst a lot of fans have been (rightfully) complaining about the latest flood of Dragon Ball Z releases, the hardcore DBZ collectors have been rushing to add these new figures to their carts in order to keep up with the complete collection. A few of the London Toy Fair releases were exciting to see, especially considering the hype surrounding Dragon Ball Super: Broly, but this was undoubtedly the cream of the crop when it comes to these releases. A 6” ECCC exclusive, it was refreshing to see a new character depicted in vinyl for this range. Fans who loved the two Shenron releases back in 2018 will be hyped to know that this dragon is just as vibrant, in a bright green paint that really ties together any Dragon Ball Z collection. This may be my favourite release of 2019 so far.

It’s still available here for those of you who missed out, or here in an Ozzie mystery bundle deal so that you can get your hands on another ECCC exclusive release, too!

Little Mermaid - Ariel (Sail Dress) US Exclusive Pop! Vinyl

Back in January we saw our first wave of Little Mermaid Pop! Vinyl figures in years, proving that Funko’s Disney license won’t be hitting brick walls any time soon. With this release, we finally get a look at the titular princess as she appears in her first scene as a human on the beach, in her makeshift sail-and-rope dress. I just can’t help but stare lovingly at this one and picture her reunited with a Pop! Prince Eric as he escorts her to their forever after castle. Dreamy sighs all around!

She’s currently on pre-order for $18.99.

Stan Lee - Patina Pop! Vinyl

No news hit harder in 2018 than the news of Stan Lee’s passing. A real life superhero and Marvel legend, it seems only fitting that many fans are happy to honour his memory in the form of a patina Pop! Vinyl. This release was heart warming for many reasons, but especially considering how hard it has been in the past for fans to get their hands on other Stan Lee releases.

This one is still in stock now for $18.99.

Pokemon - Charmander Pop! Vinyl [RS]

2018 saw Funko expand their licensing in the way of starting a new Pokemon line, but after only one initial release (the 4” Target exclusive Pikachu) fans have been hungry for more. A pattern began to emerge early in the year with yet another Pokemon starter release-- this time Bulbasaur-- but fans have been eager to get their hands on some other beloved favourites. After months of waiting, fans were excited to finally see a new addition to this line in the form of a favourite fire-type starter: Charmander!

I don’t know about other fans, but I for one am overjoyed about this one. It really has me thinking about the possibilities that this line has. Here’s hoping for a 6” Charizard next! (After they release Squirtle, of course.)

You can still grab it here for $18.99.

Green Lantern - Green Lantern & Batman Jim Lee US Exclusive Comic Moment Pop! Vinyl [RS]

The Jim Lee line of DC Pop! Deluxe figures are nothing short of gorgeous, and this Green Lantern & Batman Comic Moment really ups the ante! DC fans were excited to see this one. It’s bigger than the other Jim Lee releases and boasts amazing texturing and detail. Time to clear off room on the shelf…

You can pre-order it here for $54.99.

Lilo & Stitch - Lilo in Hula Skirt US Exclusive Pop! Vinyl [RS]

Another classic Disney favourite, 2019 so far is shaping up to be a great year for fans of Lilo and Stitch. I love this one for a number of reasons, but mainly because it calls back to that beautiful opening sequence where we first meet Lilo in her hula skirt.

You can grab here here for $18.99.

Shazam - Shazam Pop! Vinyl

This is one release that is definitely worth the hype!

It seems appropriate that the original “Captain Marvel” be making the rounds this month. The ages-old DC character has finally come to the big screen, and if Zachary Levi’s hype is any indicator, his rise to Pop! Vinyl fame is just as exciting.

Just say the word, and it’s yours for $18.99!

Scooby Doo - Scooby & Haunted Mansion Pop! Town

Another great new Funko line we’ve seen this year is the Pop! Town range. My favourite so far has been the Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion Pop! Town figure, mainly because it reminded me so strongly of going on the ride at Movieworld as a kid…

It’s an incredible figure with lots of detail, and even comes with a Scooby Doo figure, so you can practise running from all the masked creeps and ghouls that are surely hiding out inside of this new figure…

It’s available here for $49.99.

BTS - US Exclusive Pop! Vinyl 7-Pack [RS]

This release has been in talks for a while, and finally saw a release for New York Toy Fair in late February. Also available on their own, you can purchase the entire BTS crew as a massive 7-pack Pop! Vinyl! Talk about needing shelf space.

I’m a sucker when it comes to boxes, and I know that a lot of other collectors have an affinity for packaging, too. This one struck me as particularly creative, and it almost looks like the BTS boys are on stage, ready for a show! It’s perfect for K-Pop fans and enthusiastic Pop! Collectors alike. This one, for me, was a winner in every way.

Grab it here for $132.99.

The Office - Dwight Schrute Pop! Vinyl

Lastly-- but certainly not least-- I am pleased to announce that Funko’s new release wave for The Office (something fans have been asking for for years!) is finally here, and it’s just as cool as you think.

You’d be hard pressed these days to find somebody who doesn’t adore this show, or who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to own a little 4” vinyl figure of Dwight Schrute. I can’t decide if he belongs on the shelf with the rest of the collection, or on the desk at work… just to remind everyone that you’re #1.

Pre-order him here for $18.99, or in a bundle with the rest of the collection for $107.94.

What did you think of our list? Do you have a personal favourite of Feb/March that didn’t make the cut? Leave us a comment!

Until next time, happy collecting, everyone!

Pop! Television: Carmen Sandiego - Carmen (DGLT) (FYE)

FunkO's: Power Rangers Cereal - Green Ranger (FYE)

Pop! Animation: Rick & Morty - Shirtless Jaguar (Hot Topic)

There's a distinct lack of Stranger Things that I thought was unusual considering the fact that there's a lot of hype surrounding the impending Season 3, but maybe Funko are just waiting on the reveal of some new characters and plot points to unleash the hell that will be the new wave. What do you guys think?

I am heart eyes over that Sombra. I know a lot of Overwatch collectors have been wanting to get their hands on a Funko rendition of this gorgeous glitch skin, and there's no telling how quickly this release could sell out on the day of the convention!

Pop! Anime: Dragon Ball Z – Porunga 6” (Hot Topic)

Pop! Anime: Fairy Tail – Gajeel with Dragon’s Scale (GameStop)

This past year has been a big one (some may call it overkill) for Dragon Ball Z collectors, but I daresay this new 6" is looking promising. We've been after new characters, new variations, and more exiciting variation from this line, and it looks to me like we might be getting it! What do you think?
