While there wasn't much news this week, we still have tons to celebrate and chat about! It happens to be one of the best days of the year this week, May the 4th! We celebrate by chatting about what we think Funko has in store for us for the festivities and speculate what we think is coming from them in regards to Star Wars down the line! We also talk in-depth about the upcoming Funko DC NFT drop, which looks fire! We think this is going to be the most anticipated drop yet, and take Funko NFTs to the next level! Make sure you listen to find out exactly why we feel this way, and may the fourth be with you!

The Funko news and rumors this week were INSANE yet again, and we give you our take on them! Our main topic of the week is very controversial in the Funko community, so we wanted to share our opinions on it! Why does Funko keep restocking vaulted pops? Between what Funko puts up on their website, Hot Topic exclusives, and let's not forget Pop in the Box! Make sure you listen to find out everything we have to say!

The Funko news and rumors this week were INSANE! As usual, we give our take on them and let you know what our favorite was of each! Since the 2022 MLB season has arrived, we decided it was a perfect time to chat up the Funko Gold line! Funko teased that MLB players are the next figures to drop in the line, so we give our thoughts on that and the overall line in general! Make sure you listen to find out everything we have to say!

While the news this week was light, it wasn't short of awesomeness! The big drop was the Make-A-Wish Pops, which we love! Not only are they awesome, but they also help a great cause! During WonderCon 2022, which we dive deep into, Funko also happened to tease out their upcoming events that we are very excited about! We also talk about the NFT craze, which seems to have finally gone mainstream in the Funko community! Make sure you listen to find out exactly why we feel this way! 

We're back after a brief hiatus, and Funko announced a lot! Since there were so many new awesome products spanning all of their lines, we decided to dedicate this episode just to that to make sure we covered it all! We got new Pops, Sodas, NFTs, and even a Funko Gold that Charlie wants to be the first in his collection! To top it all off, we got Earth Day, Walmart Collector Con, and Star Wars Celebration reveals! Make sure to listen to find out about all these products Funko recently announced!

Not only have we been wanting to do a Star Wars episode, but it has been one of our most requested! With the release of the new Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, we felt like it was a perfect time to dive in! Star Wars is one of Funko's OG lines, so they have made a rich history of products, and Sodas can finally be added to that list! Charlie is our Star Wars expert, so he geeks out more than ever over this topic! Star Wars has always been rooted in Toys, so Funko only scratches the service. We think Star Wars is the premium IP when it comes to collectibles! Make sure you listen to find out exactly why we feel this way! May the force be with you!

This week we are changing things up! We are having an episode dedicated only to last week's Funko News! It was an amazing week all around for Pops, Sodas, and NFTs! Not only did we get Peacemaker Pops announced, but the star of the show was hands down the official reveal of the first Star Wars Sodas!!! Make sure to listen to find out about all the other products Funko announced last week!
