Funko Announces Limited Edition Casey Jones Pop Vinyl

Pop Vinyls are one of those love it or hate it collectibles. Some collectors think they are cheap and overpriced, while others love their cute and simplistic design. Regardless of which side of the fence you find yourself on, you might just be interested to hear that Funko has announced an exclusive Casey Jones figure for their Pop Vinyl line. At first glance, it doesn’t have the appearance of something exclusive, but this is actually a limited edition collectible. Heck, it’s so limited that we don’t even know all of the retailers that will be selling the item!

That little detail is what makes this Casey Jones figure so intriguing. Funko has decided to provide this collectible only to qualified retailers as part of their Specialty Series. The Specialty Series rewards loyal retail stores for selling their merchandise, so it’s probably a good bet that you’ll find this Casey Jones Pop Vinyl where other Funko items are sold. That being said, there are no guarantees and this definitely isn’t going to be available everywhere. Thankfully, there will be one way to tell whether or not your collectible is the real deal: The sticker on the front.

I don’t know if it’s entirely legible in the image above, but the sticker on the front of this package makes it clear that this is from the Funko Specialty Series. This will definitely help collectors to determine whether or not they’ve got the real deal. Considering how popular the vigilante is, something tells me that this exclusive Casey Jones Pop Vinyl is going to be a big seller. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know how many figures Funko plans to produce or where they will be sold. As of yet, only a few retailers are offering this figure for pre-order, and we don’t know exactly when you can expect to find it on store shelves.

If and when we discover more details about this awesome Casey Jones Pop Vinyl, we’ll be sure to let you know. Until then, keep a lookout at all of the major retail locations where you usually find these little toys!

A Look Inside the TMNT Box

by Justin W
written by Justin W

It has been a few months since the TMNT Box first went into production, and several fans have been receiving all kinds of totally radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gear since its inception. What is the TMNT Box? Well, it’s a subscription box service much like Loot Crate and Nerd Block, but it features only Ninja Turtles merchandise. That’s right, it’s a box full of nothing but your favorite heroes in a half shell!

When I was asked to review the TMNT Box, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, who would say no to a box full of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles goodness? Now that I’ve opened the box, I can say that I’m definitely happy with the results. As I understand it, products can vary from box to box, unlike what you will find with similar subscription services. You’re pretty much guaranteed a cool TMNT shirt, but other than that, there’s no way of knowing exactly what will be in the box. With that in mind, let’s take a look inside!

tmntboxreview5As expected, we find the TMNT t-shirt on top. This Ninja Turtles shirt features Splinter meditating in his dojo, and it’s made to look like a t-shirt from a local gym. I don’t know about you, but I’d definitely join Splinter’s School of Ninjutsu if I had the chance! I’ve never had a shirt with neon pink artwork, and it honestly looks really cool. Of course, there’s more here than just a shirt, so let’s keep exploring.

Beneath the shirt, I found three more items of note. One of them is a Michelangelo Pez dispenser (my favorite turtle!). The other two are awesome vinyl toys of Rocksteady and a Foot Soldier. I didn’t have either of these figures yet, so they are welcome additions to my collection. The Foot Soldier is from the Pop Vinyl line, while Rocksteady is from the newer Dorbz line. It would have been nice to see some more actual turtle representation in the box, but all things considered, this is still quite an excellent haul.

When we look at the price of each individual item, it’s amazing that they managed to fit all of this into one box. The t-shirt alone is worth $15-20, while the vinyls are both worth about $10 a piece. There is at least $40 worth of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise in this $20 TMNT box! That’s a darn good value, if you ask me. From what I have seen in other unboxings, this is about the kind of value that you can expect. Considering that it’s actually hard to get your hands on some of these Ninja Turtles collectibles, I’d say that this subscription box is an excellent option for just about any fan.
