Funko is preparing for its first-ever Funko Fair, a two-week long virtual event that will introduce fans and partners to new products expected to hit retail later this year.
“Funko is always discovering new ways to surprise and delight our fans by bringing the best of pop culture directly to them,” said Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer at Funko.
“Funko Fair is all about virtually showcasing the newest products that our incredible creative team has been working on for the past several months. This is a terrific opportunity to usher in 2021 with a fresh slate of consumer products that celebrate imagination and pop culture.”
Licensors confirmed to be participating in Funko Fair includes Warner Bros, The Pokémon Company International, NBCUniversal, Five Nights at Freddy’s and many more.
Additionally, there will be days designated for Disney, Marvel and Star Wars branded products, and Loungefly will also be showcasing their latest accessories.
The Fair kicks off the morning of January 19th with a new episode of FUN TV, a monthly short form production co-hosted by Brian Mariotti and Mike Becker.
