[@cdgarcia07]

Saw IT tonight and it was great! Definitely entertaining throughout and well worth the money

[@mangojack1]

Wow lots of really nice things coming!!! I love the Krampus pop wow! Gosh FM hope all stays ok for ya there during the crazy weather be safe man.

[@TheBeardedPopHunter]

Well done! I can not wait for tygra!! I didn't care for the stranger things figs either when I seen them up close and at $30.. I'm good. Be safe out there bruh, hope the storm doesn't affect you..

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+The Bearded Pop Hunter I think I butchered Tygra's name. Haven't seen the series in too long. Relly like the character designs tho...

[@markbram9546]

Thanks again for a great video. Stay safe through the storm, I'll be sending prayers and positive thoughts.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

Appreciate it...

[@simplydan]

Thanks for putting out these videos. It really helps me stay informed. I wish you and everyone else all the best and hope that you aren't affected that much by the hurricane

[@monsterkid7517]

I saw the stranger Things figs up close finally this weekend at a convention.. I was pretty disappointed how poorly they were done. I'm a fig collector as well as Pops and was looking forward to buying them until I saw them up close so I agree with you on that! Great vids and information! Thank you for all you send out to us!

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+UPSIDEDOWN 2027 You're welcome

[@chiaraverdini6308]

The Remus Lupin one tho 😻 Looking amazing! 🐺

[@mysterlevi3143]

I picked up the Freddy and Jason Vynl 2 pack in my Forbidden Planet earlier today! The figures look awesome. They had a few available still too!

[@angelflores3348]

hope that storm isn't to bad! stay safe!

[@amccaw8467]

THAT IT IS AWESOME!!!! if IT is an actual pop I will NEED to obtain it!

[@chinofroman]

They need to make Gargoyles or Mummies Alive pops!

[@ravf458]

Great vid, nothing interests me from NYCC except the Superman and Batman pop, but almost all the Disney stuff revealed today by Funko is a must have. Oct. 5th will be the day of the hunt. Stay safe!

[@spiderwebs20]

I want that Tygra! Stay safe during the storm ⛈. Hope to see some videos from you soon.

[@mattcollects1]

Thanks for the news and stay safe.

[@DaRoknrollsoldier]

A red storm trooper is the emperors guards dressed in their storm trooper armor. Probably for use in a battle with heavy blaster fire. I can't wait for IT! I love the original and the trailer looks intense but there's no way I'll get my gf to see it haha. I always get stoked when I see your funko news videos in my notifications and you never disappoint. Stay safe bro and move the pops to high ground!

[@jenniferlopezwilliams4494]

Going to see the movie at 11 myself can't wait

[@eolynexo]

Wish they also did a dragonzord with those sdcc pops. Hope the hurricane doesn't affect you as much. Luckily for me, harvey didn't hit my area too hard.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Scorpion S Dragonzord is rumored as a possibility. We'll find out soon...

[@pauly985]

Thanks for another great Funko News, stay safe :)

[@SuperRus9000]

The stand out to me is the superman with the original s shield but im a big DC fan. Stay safe during the storm man. Im in north carolina not sure if it's gonna come up this far tho.

[@Cyber_Zombie]

That Kylo Ren was in Toys R Us in the UK on force friday as my wife got one.

[@mickloadman7739]

the kylo ren pop is easy to get in the toys r us in the uk. they have loads on the shelf as we speak.

[@Zomberlina]

Stay safe man. Hopefully you won't get hit or hit bad by the hurricane.

[@Rosemary-hw7lw]

I like the Rogue One Pops. I wish that they would make a Cassian Andor in his Imperial Officer Disguise.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Rosemary It could happen still...

[@Eeveechu31]

Hey frank I live in sc as well around Columbia I been to all 3 stores in my area looking for the crota pop thanks so much for your info on it the people at target can't even give me a clear date on it. I had one employee tell me they wouldn't be getting it in store for a week or 2 I don't know how credible that is but I will be hitting them back up tomorrow. I hope you stay safe in this hurricane.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Eeveechu Thanks. You stay safe too. Please let me know if you find Crota...

[@Eeveechu31]

Will do man see if I can get my hands on a couple

[@Eeveechu31]

Just went to my closets target no luck there the guy said the next shipments they get in on Monday and would be on store shelves on Tuesday.

[@Eeveechu31]

Seems like they won't be out till 10/15

[@chaseosborn6503]

Stay safe man. I live near Savannah, Georgia and I'm heading out tomorrow to get away from Irma. Hopefully it won't be a bad hit from where I live.

[@sheastadium27]

Awesome Video Update Praying for you and other to be safe doing the storm

[@OddSpaceGhost]

Be safe buddy!! I'm kinda glad I'm not too into the exclusives...yet lol. Dude reminded me of Mintberry also! 😂 Hope everything goes smoothly with the storm, bud, and that we're able to hear from ya soon, since that'd mean alls good most likely.

[@JayCeeSquared]

In the Legends comics a Red Stormtrooper is a guard of the Emperor which is the same as the now-a-day Imperial Guard (which are the best stormtroopers by defintion) but look totally different. TBH the new Stormtrooper actually does not have the same Pop eyes as the original Pop stormtrooper and are more stormtrooper lense-like eyes instead. I always thought when seeing a red stormtrooper i would think of Hip-Hop Trooper, who is a cosplayer that armors in red armor painted with black Adidas like stripes with a gold chain and boom-box.

[@DRGVinyl]

Good luck with that hurricane I've just recovered from Hurricane Harvey, I like the snow and ice Krampus, there's a rumor about 4 kingdom hearts characters being made of Sora, Kairi, Riku and a heartless, I've seen the post for the FNAF Puppet and basically said that there's wasn't any merchandise of the puppet

[@KARTOONZpdx]

Thanks for the updates man, Stay safe,keep you and yo ur family safe,and lastly keep your pops safe 👌

[@DolenzFan5]

MARIONETTE FUNKO POP!!! I hope it's not a chase or a fye exclusive.

[@ironstronglionjuliancarlso1135]

Dengar is a bounty hunter , he was in the line up of bounty hunters

[@Andrew-gl6kd]

I really hope they bring back the thunder cats line..

[@FloridasBluestAngel]

I figured they were going to do a Dwight, I'll probably get him to go with my other TWD pops. The Krampus pops look pretty sweet. Hope your safe and Irma misses you guys. We're kind of ready down here.👍

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

I hope it doesn't affect you and your family too much. Stay safe...

[@sheastadium27]

FloridasBluestAngel Hope You And Your Family Stay Safe From Hurricane Irma

[@FloridasBluestAngel]

Franklyn FM McInnis Thanks Franklyn :)

[@FloridasBluestAngel]

Sherry Stover Thank you Sherry :)

[@artmiranda]

man so many cool stuff coming. dude you are my funko news. lol. i hope that pennywise is legit. also i want that diamond dumbo.

[@Bishop000]

I appreciate you too dude great video man

[@ryderwinant7159]

Wow hopefully the hurricane doesn't get to you, your one of the nicest youtubers I know. Great video!

[@shelby127]

My comic book shop has the Freddy Jason vnyl 2 pack I haven't been able to find the HT Hopper still I'm up to 5 NYCC pops I need now to complete sets...

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Shelby Y Hope I find that 2 pack too...

[@RoboticIzaac]

Damn bro hope everything ends up good for you. Be safe. Thanks for the video

[@kraggi13]

That's rough dude. Hope you stay safe!

[@MrDuderty]

(stranger things figures)you are absolutely correct..they look rough and cheap!

[@comic_book_beej6228]

Dude!!! I'm in Columbia!!!

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Brian J Bonstell Hope you're well prepared. Be safe. I need to do some Pop hunting again in Columbia eventually...

[@comic_book_beej6228]

Franklyn FM McInnis sounds good! Hit me up when you're in town. You can dm me via Facebook if you'd like

[@MomofPrincesses]

Thanks!!! I need to go and get the Ursula !!!!! We love elf and everything Christmas!! Super excited for the dumbo diamond!! Are there not going to be diamond releases in oct or November?

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+MomofPrincesses I was wondering the same thing...

[@benjaminmorales3504]

You be safe out there

[@pardeepjagdev5017]

The red storm trooper i believe are in the expanded universe or comics

[@PugLoveProductions]

Hope you and everyone else is staying safe from the hurricane. Damn why did Crota have to be a Target exclusive they are so freaking sharty here. The red Stormtrooper is pretty cool I'm a big Star Wars fan and I don't think I've ever seen one in anything just the imperial guards. That IT variant would be nuts definitely looking for him, can't wait to see the movie too should be awesome

[@arentouchon00]

Im seeing IT on Friday

[@j.j.q1379]

Just becareful is all that matters.. and krampus is a pretty good movie. I didn't think I would of liked it but it's awesome

[@MatthewMovies]

I don't collect Dorbz but if I did I would be all over those Predator and Alien figures! I love the Boba Fett Slave I pop and the Saw Gerrera too. Otherwise there wasn't much in this video that was all that interesting to me other than your voice of course haha.

[@newalchemy9742]

FYE manager told me on Force Friday they were getting an exclusive Pennywise, so it's legit. I also think it's ridiculous the Kylo Ren wasn't available for Force Friday. It's an event you're opening at midnight for, so why wouldn't they have that figure ready to showcase and sell?

[@lalolove3651]

Stay safe Franklyn

[@bblaze202010]

Finally got the pennywise chase, hope fye makes this one that looks sick. Taking my son to see movie tonite can't wait.

[@Kenju0830]

Stay safe brother! I heard great things about the it movie. Gotta get all variants of pennywise!

[@juveangulo9963]

That krampus looks siiiiick

[@Cluver_03]

I hope u and ur family will be safe.

[@tuckerhawkey9561]

I like the Elf Pops and the Dumbo Pop

[@existtracefan]

Pretty sure the red trooper is a magma trooper. I think they are from the now legends stories. Oh also the Krampus figures are not based off the movie (wish they were) they are just based off of the old tales of him.

[@jinsakai5307]

Man I hope my local GameStop order this funko pop surtur I really wish

[@jinsakai5307]

I really wanna get that funko pop surtur

[@jinsakai5307]

+Paul Singam you had the funko pop surtur. if yes your awesome

[@WHMStudios]

None of the Star Wars stuff interests me. I must have the Dwight POP ... YESSSSSSSSSS Buffy and Faith! The Sci-Fi Dorbz are looking very nice, definitely going to be after the Spocks and maybe the Xenomorphs and Predators. I will be ALL over those Rocketeer Dorbz, too. I loved the movie - written by the same guys (Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo) who wrote my favorite movie of all time, Trancers. I honestly believe that it was one of the very first comic book movies that was done right. The FYE Pennywise looks like the first one I'd be looking to get. By the way ... I saw a preview screening for IT on Tuesday. Whew. They took it WAAAAAAAAAY further than I thought they would. Had a few issues with the movie, but the movie was overall solid.

[@MahsterC]

lol Dwightberry Crunch!

[@davidbarastegui2519]

They're focusing on Harley Quinn not just because of her popularity, it's because this year marks the 25th anniversary since she was created.

[@MaddieMP3]

Be safe love your videos hey I live in Texas and It isn't easy here either Harvey destroyed Houston 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

I hope you and your family are ok...

[@MaddieMP3]

Franklyn FM McInnis we are my family came to Dallas

[@stopid7667]

Red mere is the red planter version of her I assume

[@Jun3yplays]

Be safe out there and everyone else out there in the path of the hurricane

[@Redrum420CF]

i hope everything with the storm goes as well as possible and that you stay safe. i live in the middle of the country so ive never had to worry about anything quite like that except for maybe tornado warnings. a few weeks ago i was worried about another funko youtuber Lord Chris Berg. north korea was threatening to bomb his country quam but luckily nothing happened. also the pop in the video that im probably most looking forword to is dengar who is one of the bounty hunters.

[@probat914]

They'll make How I Met Your Mother funko pops?

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Pro Bat I haven't heard of any plans to do so...

[@lalolove3651]

I been wondering where the news was

[@FredoRios]

My man I hopefully nothing happens to you and stay safe.

[@lucasgbj]

be careful what you order from popcultcha as i received mine and the boxes were damaged

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+lucasgbj Was it their fault or was it roughed up along the way?

[@chrisvlogs3075]

I am a star wars fane

[@Silverskll7]

Stay safe, man!

[@eolynexo]

I kind of feel bad for the people who got the abominable snowman because the flocked version is coming for nycc.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Scorpion S It's limited in number though...

[@AirMasterNeo]

Stay safe

[@overforce2766]

I have a storm coming to me,im scared 😳

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+overforce 2 Just make sure you're good on supplies and prepare as much as you can. I wish you safety...

[@bcode4089]

WTF THERES 4 CHASES IN A DORBZ SET?! funkoooooo what r u doing

[@MrAwesomness435]

B Code chases are the "in" thing right now they're being smart are following the trend

[@bcode4089]

MrAwesomness435 yes but I still don't think that there should be 4 in a set, I mean they used to be 1/144 or 1/72 and hunting for a chase that's 1/6 is kinda boring and I've basically just stopped going out to hunt because people go crazy for theses and then flipping them

[@MrAwesomness435]

B Code yea I understand completely but you gotta think of it from a company's perspective because they see this crazy demand for chases and how crazy people are going they have to jump on it. It may suck but its good business strategy

[@MrAwesomness435]

B Code people are more interested in chases than pops/dorbz in general its sad to see but good for Funko because they reach new/more audience

[@allendittmore7]

Will there be pops on the TV show bewitched?

[@dufrain_media]

I wonder if the Red Mera is supposed to be a Red Lantern Mera from the comic series Blackest Night? What do you think?

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Joseph DuFrain Possibly. DC and WB are planning to bring Green Lantern into the current movies...

[@dufrain_media]

Franklyn FM McInnis that would be cool! Keep all the folks in Texas and Louisiana and you and your home in my prayers mate. Stay as safe as possible.

[@someperson6892]

Anyone know where the fett with slave one will be released

[@jrodgers8713]

Yo what part of SC I live here to !!

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+J Rodgers Marion

[@jrodgers8713]

I'm live on the darlington side of Florence

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+J Rodgers Cool. We share some Pop hunting grounds then...

[@jrodgers8713]

Ole yea I think we do you may have a little better ranger than I do but I think we do ... u have a email?

[@bebop_anoos]

Plz tell me about TOP CAT pop i really really need it 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Axel Lopez When it starts hitting shelves, I'll share...

[@beefcake___4188]

Hi

[@archiericketts2111]

What is the specialty series ?

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

+Archie Ricketts They're figures that are mainly meant to be sold at comic book shops and collectibles shops, but they can be found online too...

[@norseatheart1086]

The Krampus POPs are not inspired by the movie.

[@FranklynFMMcInnis]

Ok. They made me think about the movie though. Have you seen it?

[@norseatheart1086]

Unfortunately yes. If you look at them they don't look at all like the movie one. The horns for one are not even in the same ball park :) Also they are part of the POP Holidays line and not the POP Movies line :) Here is the movie Krampus :) ihorror.com/app/uploads/weta2.jpg BTW, great video. Your doing a great job for the community.

[@Lamesauce85]

More Predators is a good thing :)

[@jeffreymariano7668]

Land of the lost slezak right on telling age Old school toy Hunter he he he thanks for the info F M

[@salreynoso7116]

Stay safe, I hope there's damage to your area
