Toy Corner: Funko Jem and the Holograms

As a Jem and the Holograms fan, I don't know how I missed that there were Funkos for some of the characters. Well, I also missed the ones that were released a few years back which I also didn't know about. Anyway, I absolutely love these little Funkos of Jem, Kimber Benton, Aja Leith, Shana Elmsford and Synergy. What I love about Jem and the Holograms, they're not just bandmates but sisters. Which is why I love the episode Out of the Past (season 2 episode 25) which provided a lot of backstory on the Benton family, how Shana and Aja were added to the family and how Synergy was created. It was a good episode.

Anyway, aside from these five Jem and Holograms Funkos available, I do wish Jem's alter ego Jerrica Benton along with characters Rio Pacheco, Carmen "Raya" Alonso and The Misfits (along with Eric Raymond) also had figurines. Maybe more will be made later. Whether that happens or not, I would like to get these five, they're just so cute and fashionable.

Toy Corner: Funko Lois Lane

I may have missed the chance to get the Funko Smallville Lois Lane Figure but I'm going to make sure I get this Superman: The Movie (1978) Lois Lane figure. It's from the scene when Lois first officially interviewed Superman on the balcony of her apartment.

I still find it interesting that this Lois who was played by the late Margot Kidder is still one of the most beloved versions of the character. And she's definitely included on my list of favorite Lois Lanes. She's feisty, loud, independent, sarcastic and has a love of journalism.

I can't remember the last time I bought a Funko but I really want to get this one.

Toy Corner: Funko Rose Tico (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker)

Why doesn't Rose Tico have more official Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker merchandise? I was doing a search and only found two things this Funko and a Rebels t-shirt. I know there's fan created items but it's weird that there's hardly any official merchandise. Anyway, I want to get this Rose Funko because I think she's a pretty cool character and I love her outfit from the new movie.

DVD Pick: Batman: The Animated Series (Blu-ray)

In my recent Comic Book Wednesday post, I mentioned how I was trying to find the Blu-ray edition of Batman: The Animated Series. And as you can see, I found it. I love that it includes three mini Funkos of Batman, Harley Quinn and the Joker. It arrived in the mail today and now I can't wait to watch at least an episode or two. I really want to see how good the episodes look remastered.

I had ordered it Wednesday afternoon, after I did a search and found out that Target had some in stock. I'm sure other stores are probably starting to get more back in but I just wanted to let you know where I found mine in case there is anyone still looking for one.

New Book Purchase and Toy Corner: Batman/Catwoman: The Wedding Album and Funko Josie McCoy (Riverdale)

I just got back from the comic book store and thought I would post my two wonderful little finds. The first is the Batman/Catwoman: The Wedding Album. Yeah, I know I shouldn't have bought it but I guess I'm a fool because why else would I buy a collected copy of the wedding that wasn't. I don't know, I saw it and thought it seemed like a cool find.

And the second thing I found was a Funko Josie McCoy from the Riverdale TV series. She's pretty cool and apparently a limited edition figure which is why she cost slightly more than the average Funko. But I figured I would get it since I only had three books on this week's list and not to mention the last time I bought a Funko was during this year's Free Comic Book Day.

Toy Corner: Funko Rock Candy Bumblebee Figure (DC Super Hero Girls)

Even though I wasn't that fond of the first volume of DC Super Hero Girls, I have been thinking of giving the series another chance. I was also thinking of getting this Funko Karen Beecher (a.k.a. Bumblebee) figure because it's totally adorable. She looks so enthusiastic and ready to save the day.

I'm going to have to make sure to get this and not to mention I still need to get the Smallville Lois Lane Funko as well.

Free Comic Book Day 2018

Every year it seems like there are more and more people who show up at my local comic bookstore for Free Comic Book Day. Yesterday, was fun and exciting with so much energy in the air from all the people looking around taking in everything. I didn't mind standing in the long lines because it was great seeing so many people and kids who were happy picking up books. Despite the store being so packed, I did manage to pick up a good selection of free comics.

Aside from the free comics, I also bought a few things: a Spider-Gwen pin and Funko Sesame Street Burt and Ernie figures. I also bought a Spider-Pig sketch from artist Terrell Culbert. I wanted to buy something from him at last year's FCBD but I didn't make it out there because I had been sick with a cold. So this time I made sure to get a sketch from him.

Funko Sesame Street: Ernie and Bert

Spider-Pig

Yesterday really was fun, I enjoyed walking around the store looking at stuff and talking to other comic book geeks. If you're still on the fence about attending Free Comic Book Day, maybe think about going next year. Hopefully, you will have as much fun as the rest of us comic book geeks.

Toy Corner: Funko Black Widow (Avengers: Infinity War)

Every time I say I'm going to cut back on buying more Funkos I end up seeing ones that I want, like this Black Widow Funko. I really like this one, it looks like Natasha is ready for a fight. I have to add this to my collection.

I have posted some of my Funko collection in various posts but if anyone wants to see more I will post them.

Toy Corner: Funko "Gossip Girl" Figures

When I found out Funko had created Gossip Girl figures for some of the characters I had to post it. According to the company's website, these figures will not be available until May, sorry no specified date has been released. So be on the look out, who knows when they will be in stores and online.

I definitely know that I want to get the Blair Waldorf and Dan Humphrey figures since they were two of my favorite characters. I'm not sure about the other characters but I'm thinking about getting them all to have a complete set. I wonder if Vanessa Abrams will get a Funko figure too?

Toy Corner: Funko: A Wrinkle in Time 3-Pack

I know I've said many times that I'm taking a break from buying any more Funkos which by the way I've done a great job with. But I really want to get this A Wrinkle in Time 3-Pack of the Mrs. Ws. They're so bright and colorful and not to mention adorable.

Alright, who else is planning on getting this?

Lois Lane Friday: A Sneak Peak at the Smallville Funko Collection

Back in December, I posted that Funko was finally creating a Lois Lane figure. It's going to be included in the Smallville collection. They recently released a few images from the upcoming line which will not be available until April.

These are pretty cool, I'm definitely going to have to get the Lois Lane, Clark Kent and Green Arrow figures. But I'm on the fence about getting Lex Luthor, was never a fan of the character. However, Michael Rosenbaum did such an amazing job on Smallville with the character that I just may have to pick this up when it's available.

Fashion Meets Comics: Funko Wonder Woman T-Shirt

I need to add this Wonder Woman t-shirt to my wardrobe, it's so cute. I have a lot of superhero t-shirts but lately I feel like I'm wearing the same ones over and over again, so I need some new ones. And this one is absolutely adorable and I want it.

Gift Guide: Harry Potter #1

Since I started my Christmas shopping early, I figured it would be a good time to put together a few gift guides. This is the first of two Harry Potter gift guides with this one featuring 16 finds from books to artwork for the Potter fan in your life.


Harry Potter Book Box Set

If you know someone who has seen all the movies but never read the books, this would make a good gift for them. From hardcover to paperback there is a box set for nearly every price range. The paperback box set can be found priced between $50+-$60+ while the hardcover can be a little over a $100 (sometimes less if there is a sale).

Be sure to check your local bookstore and online bookstores (and big box stores) to see if you can find a good deal.

Toy Corner: Funko Cyborg (Justice League movie)

The latest Justice League movie trailer which was released over the weekend at the New York Comic Con (NYCC already has fans talking. Since the release of the movie is a little over a month away, I thought I would start focusing a bit on the merchandise. And I hope as I search through all the Justice League merchandise that Lois Lane will not be left out or forgotten.

As a Cyborg fan I do wonder how much of his story will be shown in the movie. All that aside, isn't this Funko Cyborg super adorable. I already know that this is going to be one of the first items that I get.

Fashion Meets Comics: Funko Luna Lovegood T-Shirt

Okay, this Luna Lovegood t-shirt is just way too cute. How can anyone not smile after seeing it? Although this adorable little shirt isn't available until October, you can pre-order it.

Toy Corner: Funko Catwoman and Funko Poison Ivy

I have finally completed my Gotham City Sirens Funko collection. Two days ago, I spotted both Catwoman and Poison Ivy at the bookstore and promptly grabbed them off the shelf. Ever since I bought my Harley Quinn Funko two years ago, I have been trying to find the other two figures.

The only thing I have to do now is find space for Catwoman and Poison Ivy on my quickly dwindling shelf.

Toy Corner: Funko Peter Parker (Spider-Man: Homecoming)

I know I don't need any more Funkos but I was thinking about getting this Spider-Man: Homecoming Peter Parker figure. I totally admit it, I have a Funko obsession which is why I had took a break from buying them. I need to go back to curbing my impulse to buy them but they're just so cute and adorable and not to mention affordable that it's hard not to want to buy them.

If I get Peter Parker it will be the last one I get for a while.

Toy Corner: Funko Scott McCall (Teen Wolf)

I had to get this Funko because I like Scott McCall. He was just a typical teenager until he went along with his friend Stiles Stilinski to go into the woods looking for half of a dead body (the police had already found the other half). It's hard to believe Scott let Stiles talk him into going into the woods at night to look for a body. Those two are such idiots. And thanks to their recklessness Scott got bitten by a werewolf and that bite dragged him into the world of the supernatural. But he used his new abilities to be a hero and although he might fail at times or make mistakes, Scott never stops trying to help.

Now that I have Funkos for Scott and Stiles, I wonder if the company will make figures for the other Teen Wolf characters?

Toy Corner: Dorbz Wonder Woman

I love Funko's Dorbz collection, the figures are truly befitting of the name because they are adorable. The smiling happy faces automatically have me smiling. Surprisingly this Wonder Woman figure is only the third one that I have, the first was Catwoman and the second was Falcon (which I still need to post).

This Wonder Woman movie version even has a little shield now how cute is that.

Toy Corner: Funko Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf)

As some of you might know, I had taken a break from buying Funkos figures but clearly that didn't work. Since I recently bought quite a few of them. Some of the new figures are from Teen Wolf, the Wonder Woman movie and Marvel.

I decided to post the adorable little Stiles first but I have a question, can anyone spot the mistake on the box? Do you see it? If it's Stiles' last name being misspelled, then you are correct. Throughout the entire box, there is an additional l added to his last name. I wonder if this mistake will one day make this a rare collectible but I doubt it.
