Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty

By Nick

A couple of months ago, my friend Toria shared a post on my Facebook page announcing a new mystery box collaboration between Funko Pop and Lucasfilm called Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty.

Each box promises to contain Pop vinyl, apparel, accessories, collectibles and more, all exclusive and a $50 value!

There are 2 types of membership available.

Pirate is the recurring monthly plan which ships one box every other month, with the option to cancel anytime. This option is $25.

Smuggler is the annual plan, which is $150, and includes an exclusive gift on the anniversary of membership.

I decided to give it a try. If there are items I don't want, I will sell them on eBay, and I went with the Smuggler option for the anniversary gift.

My bounty arrived yesterday!

Upon opening the box, a pin and a patch, with a welcome message;
Behold your first share of Smuggler's Bounty

I opened the flap to find a lanyard, tee shirt, and 2 Pop figures.

Apparently there is a variant Tie Fighter Pilot!

I'll likely put the lanyard and patch, and Tie Fighter Pilot on eBay. I'm wearing the shirt as I write this!
I'm holding on to Captain Phasma until after I see The Force Awakens, just in case this turns out to be a collectible I want to hold on to.

I'm very excited I decided to become a Smuggler, and I eagerly await my next bounty!

Disney POP Rocketeer

By: Nick

As I've shared in the past, I love the Rocketeer. I have several items associated with this film, but still have not rediscovered where they are hiding!
So, when I saw this Disney POP figure, I had to have it!

Disney Funko POP! WALL-E

Like Vinylmation, I didn't get the Funko Pop! Disney figures at first.
Unlike Vinylmation, however, I'm still not completely on board with them.
They are somewhat cute, but to take a quote from one of my favorite movies, Jaws,  as Quint described a sharks eyes, these figures seem to have "Lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes."
But I don't feel that applies to a couple of the figures. Like WALL-E from Series 4.

If I find EVE, I will have to pick her up.

I feel, unlike most of the other figures from this line, that the eyes are a perfect fit.

WALL-E is one of my all time favorite movies, and I need more collectibles!

WALL-E has only been out of his package a few minutes, and he's already heading off to work. Industrious little fellow.

 

Tomorrow, friend and guest writer Gaylin has a very different type of article with Pop in the title!
