Funko will also be collaborating with GameStop and will be launching in-store activations for Make-A-Wish recipients at select GameStop stores during the month of April. In addition, Funko will donate $150,000 to Make-A-Wish (regardless of sales) to help fulfill the life-changing wishes of children with critical illnesses. “Funko understands the importance of giving back by supporting causes that are close to the hearts of our employees, fans and the greater community,” said Andrew Perlmutter, CEO of Funko. “We are honored to support Make-A-Wish’s efforts as they work around the clock to fulfill children’s wishes.”
Let’s take a look at some of the awesome figures you’ll want to be on the look out for:
We’ll start with our Marvel friends and good buddies Iron-Man and Spider-Man. Both of these superheroes look absolutely fabulous in the Make-A-Wish signature metallic blue colorway.
- You can pre-order Iron-Man at the FUNKO Shop here for $15.00.
- Spider-Man is $11.99 at Entertainment Earth here.
Let’s shift our attention to Lucasfilm and a galaxy far, far away with this BB-8 Make-A-Wish figure. You can pick up your favorite little droid for $11.99 from Entertainment Earth here.
Also from Star Wars is this Bobble-Head Stormtrooper. This item is a GameStop exclusive. You can pre-order this item here for $12.99.
Next up is a Hot Topic Exclusive featuring Winnie the Pooh. He comes in the same blue metallic colorway but they honey inside his pot is a metallic yellow. Winnie isn’t posted on the Hot Topic site as of yet but you can keep tabs on him here.
Sulley from Monsters Inc. is up next and giving you a little wave! He’s available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth for $11.99 here.
It wouldn’t be a Make-A-Wish collection without Mickey! He is a BoxLunch Exclusive and you can find him here for $14.90!
We’d recognize that toothy grin anywhere. It’s Cheshire Cat! In this figure he balances on his tail which we think is a delightful touch. You can pre-order this Wonderland favorite at Entertainment Earth for $11.99 here.
Last, but certainly not least, is Minnie Mouse looking fashionable as always in her blue polka dot dress with matching bow. She is also at Entertainment Earth where you can pre-order her for $11.99 here.
We hope you are as smitten with the figures in this collection as we are. Be sure to pre-order yours today while supplies last!
