Funko is making their way to San Diego Comic-Con 2023 with double their 2022 footprint in regards to booths. They’re celebrating 25 years with Funkoville! The new plot of land inside the San Diego Convention center includes a Blockbuster Rewind video store, allowing fans to jump back to the ’90s and relive the nostalgic experience of visiting their neighborhood store. Inside are the company’s new, innovative collectibles based on iconic films. The throwback showcases Funko’s first collection of their new VHS-themed collectibles, Rewind.
Here’s what Funko CEO Brian Mariotti had to say.
“For 25 years, Funko has been a fan-first company. This is why San Diego Comic-Con is a pinnacle moment for us every year, as it provides the opportunity to create memorable moments for our fans through larger-than-life activations. With the Funkoville booth being twice as big this year, we look forward to offering an even better way for fans to immerse themselves in their favorite fandoms.”
Fans will be able to journey through the streets of “Funkoville” to discover new interactive experiences, brand storefronts and more in the “funnest city in the USA!” Fan-favorite shops, including a donut shop, bowling alley, Loungefly boutique and Mondo gas station will welcome fans and serve as the go-to destination for new and exclusive pop culture collectibles. Funko will also offer fans the coolest Con exclusives from beloved lines on-site and via Funko.com, FunkoGames.com, Loungefly.com, and Mondoshop.com.
A new addition to Funkoville, the Blockbuster Rewind video store, allows fans to time travel to the ‘90s and relive the nostalgic experience of visiting their neighborhood’s local video store as they browse and purchase the company’s new, innovative collectibles based on iconic films. The throwback experience showcases the first collection of the new VHS-themed collectibles in collaboration with Blockbuster.
