Looks like Funko has big plans for SDCC.
SEATTLE, WA (June 22, 2023) – Funko, Inc. (“Funko,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FNKO) today announced plans for San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), including the expansion of “Funkoville,” a massive, neighborhood-like experience that is double the 2022 footprint, including Funko, Funko Games, Loungefly, Mondo and more. Funkoville (Booth 5341) will be available for all registered SDCC attendees from July 19 through July 23.
Fans will be able to journey through the streets of “Funkoville” to discover new interactive experiences, brand storefronts and more in the “funnest city in the USA!” Fan-favorite shops, including a donut shop, bowling alley, Loungefly boutique and Mondo gas station will welcome fans and serve as the go-to destination for new and exclusive pop culture collectibles. Funko will also offer fans the coolest Con exclusives from beloved lines on-site and via Funko.com, FunkoGames.com, Loungefly.com, and Mondoshop.com.
A new addition to Funkoville, the Blockbuster Rewind video store, allows fans to time travel to the ‘90s and relive the nostalgic experience of visiting their neighborhood’s local video store as they browse and purchase the company’s new, innovative collectibles based on iconic films. The throwback experience showcases the first collection of the new VHS-themed collectibles in collaboration with Blockbuster.
“For 25 years, Funko has been a fan-first company,” said Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer of Funko. “This is why San Diego Comic-Con is a pinnacle moment for us every year, as it provides the opportunity to create memorable moments for our fans through larger-than-life activations. With the Funkoville booth being twice as big this year, we look forward to offering an even better way for fans to immerse themselves in their favorite fandoms.”
