They said it would never happen - or did they?   Funko posted a new announcement with a Star Wars thumbs-up BB-8 with torch, Han Solo with bowcaster, and Indiana Jones!  Really!  He's got the idol and the whip, so choke on that Satipo.

Ad: If you need new figures, and you do, check out 13 new Funko Pop! Star Wars figures at Entertainment Earth.  Due in July and August, these figures include new versions of Luke Skywalker and Leia from The Force Awakens as well as the first-ever Bespin Luke, Yoda, and many others.  Rey is here, complete with lightsaber.  You won't want to miss them, so give them a look!

StarWars.com announced on their Twitter feed today that the first Funko Pop! Vinyl #SmugglersBounty exclusive is none other than Captain Phasma.

One of my favorite collectible companies is Funko - they're famous for Pop! Vinyl right now, but have a rich history of collecitble figures and bobble heads.  Their newest gambit: a subscription-based Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty program.  Every two months you get a crate of loot, which (if you look at the Marvel ones) include exclusive Pop! Vinyl figures, pins, and t-shirts.  You don't get a ton of junk, but you do get some pretty great stuff.   Click here to see it - it's about $192 per year shipped in the USA, and the first box has two exclusive figures.

If you ain't seen it, the Walmart Exclusive Funko Pop! Vinyl Sandtrooper and Dewback may be at a store near you - and if it's like my local Walmart, it's literally the only Star Wars thing on the aisle.   The two-pack is $20.00 which means it's quite the decent deal.  Good hunting!

The  Star Wars Planet X Bossk Premium Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure is up for pre-order at your favorite toy sites right now, like this one.   You can see it's similar in feel as the Planet X Groot, and looks pretty nifty.   If you missed Metallic Bossk - the one that looks like it came from the movie - this might be a good second choice!

Continuing the trend, a clear blue sparkling Hologram Darth Vader also went up for sale today.   750 have been made, and it's due around August.  Sponsor Entertainment Earth has theirs up for sale, so click here to order one.

If you haven't seen it, you can see it here!  The Star Wars Clone Trooper Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure is up for grabs now, and is limited to 1,500 pieces.  Click here to order yours at Entertainment Earth.   A few other versions of this item exist, including a 501st edition and an exquisite (and sold out) dirty penny edition.  This figure is due in August for $79.99, and orders ship free in the USA.

A few months ago, Funko announced a crate of various forms of loot - specific to a license - with its Marvel Collector Corps program.

At Funko Fundays late Friday night, Funko's Brian Mariotti announced two expansions to this program.  Can you guess what at least one of them is?   Well, if you're reading this site, you should probably have figured it out.

Funko posted another update!  Matte Black Darth Vader is the next Comic-Con exclusive Hikari Vinyl Figure, and it looks great.  It's a limited edition of 1,200 pieces.

Funko does a lot of exclusives for Comic-Con.  I mean, tons - back before the Pop! Vinyl days, they loaded their booth with pop art-inspired and metallic repaints of gorgeous bobble heads.  Now they've got other brands, and they do an obscene variety of exclusives like Hikari Vinyl Figures Infrared Boba Fett.  There are 1,000, it'll probably be around $80, and best of luck to you all.
