Feeling the FOMO from Star Wars Celebration? Fear not as you can still get your hand on some of the official Funko Pop Vinyls from the convention!
Funko had one of the more exciting presences over the event, with giveaways, photo ops, guest appearances, and bumpin ‘music. We had the chance to chat with the team about returning to events, what makes a convention exclusive special, and more.
Interview
Nerdbot: What’s the most exciting thing about returning to live in person events?
Funko: Just seeing fans again and being face to face with them, it’s been almost three years of hibernation for most people so getting to see them face to face.
Nerdbot: With a property like Star Wars there are so many tendrils of the universe. What is the thought process behind selection for what is going to come out at certain events? Do you go with deep cuts or is it focusing on the broader known characters?
Funko: It’s really a collaboration between our team and Lucasfilm. Just to make sure we’re making the right product at the right time, and who we’re making. So it’s really a team effort to decide what goes where and when?
Nerdbot: What is your favorite thing from this year’s show?
Funko: I love Chewbacca, I think he’s a cool character, why wouldn’t you want him as a sidekick? And then it’s really fun that we just announced Star Wars not that long ago into Funko Soda so I think that’s really exciting. I’m ready for more characters there!
