Hey Speed Readers,
With San Diego Comic-Con finally upon us, we at Speed Force figured it would be a good idea to give you all a quick heads up about what to expect and to look for if you are fortunate enough to be heading to San Diego this weekend.
First off I have to say that it looks like Funko is definitely vying for the title of most convention exclusives ever! From a list of at least 50 Funko products available this year, we are coming away with 2 Flash-related exclusives.
Hey Speed Readers,
Dallas Comic Con has just announced their first exclusive; a Funko Pop! Reverse Flash figurine that is limited to only 2,000 pieces along with a Glow in the Dark variant limited to 500 pieces to be released and sold at Dallas Comic Con coming up May 17 through May 19, 2013.
Salutations Speed Readers,
Funko has announced that they will be teaming up with DC Comics again to bring us some Vinyl Domo collectibles including two versions of The Flash.
Now for those that are unfamiliar with Domo, Domo started out as the mascot for the Japanese TV station, NHK and made his first appearances in stop-motion animated shorts. He quickly grew to worldwide fame and now you can find him in comics, games, toys and all kinds of other merchandise. You can learn more about him by visiting Domonation.com.
The first stands 3.75 inches tall and is similar to past Funko Pop Vinyl releases:
The second will be 2.5 inches tall, also made of vinyl and will be blind packed along with 13 other DC characters. Blind packing refers to the practice of packaging a product as to give no discernible evidence as to what may be in the box. The first picture of Domo x DC Blind Box Vinyl Flash is courtesy of Action Figure Insider:
As mentioned in the AFI article some Domo figurines will be rarer than others with Flash being packed at a normal ratio of 2/24. This handy diagram provided by Funko might help explain things better:
I, for one am pretty excited for these guys. I always found the Domo character to be pretty cool visually and I like the combination of DC heroes and Domo. Some look a little funky but I think the Flash Domos came out looking great, especially the 3.75 inch one. I’m hoping these guys will be easy enough to track down online.
Domo x DC Comics 3.75 inch Vinyl collection will go on sale February 14th, 2013 while the Domo x DC Blind Box set goes on sale February 28th, 2013.
Who else is a fan of Domo? Who just plans on picking them up for the DC Comics connection? Let us know in the comments below.
Thanks for reading,
Today’s guest post is by Christine Adamo.
I recently bought a Funko Flash plush, and it inspired me to create a similar plush of my favorite character who doesn’t get much love these days in toy form — Bart Allen. Especially as Impulse (Don’t get me wrong; I love that he still exists as Kid Flash, but I, like many, long for the Bart of old).
Alright finally another installment of “Recent Acquisitions”. I haven’t posted an update since March, and I’ve actually acquired a lot more than what I’m about to show. But as I explained last time the feature is called “Recent Acquisitions” and I personally think “within the last month or so” when I think “recent”. Still not a bad haul to show off. First the group picture:
Clockwise from the Top: Pull-In Brand Flash Boxer Briefs, Blue Lantern Flash T-Shirt, Funko Flash Plush Doll, Infinite Heroes 3-Pack feat. Wally West, The Trickster and Heatwave, Flash Silhouette T-Shirt, and Sterling Silver Flash Bracelet
