Following Hulu's critically acclaimed 2023 revival of Futurama, the epic sci-fi series from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen returns in 2024 with ten all-new episodes. On this orbit around the sun, our occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender's ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags, and the true 5 million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela's fateful, time-twisted romance.

Lots of Funko SDCC 2019 Exclusives

And it has begun! Last week a trio of Funko exclusives were announced (see here). The past couple of days Funko has been announcing a lot of different exclusives this year and most of them seem to be shared exclusives which is good for those who can't go to SDCC or those who were not fortunate to get a picked in in the SDCC portal.

Below are the exclusives that have been announced this week so far (6/17-6/19).

Pop! Gamora (Hot Topic)

Loot Crate Animation Unboxing

We were unfortunately in the group of people that had our Loot Crate delayed due to a shortage in T-shirts for this month's crate. So we got our crate in mid-August just as the August Crate was closing. Disappointed that this box took so long to arrive.

Another note is that our (non-regular) mail carrier that delivered this box decided to shove/squish this into our mailbox and slightly crushed our crate but luckily nothing was broken. As a huge animation fan, this box was definitely worth the wait.

Grief Encounters by Munky King & Luke Chueh on Kickstarter

Many of you know Luke Chueh's Art as well as his collectible figures produced by Munky King.

"Grief Encounters is a series of animated shorts that brings to life the art of renowned pop-surrealist, Luke Chueh. Signature to his paintings are the evocative narratives contained within the still images and their titles."

Luke Chueh x Munky King x Tiny Giants needs your help in raising $120,000 to help produce animated shorts and there is a whole bunch of incentives like special versions of some of Luke's figures that will only be offered through Kickstarter.

Go HERE to read more information about this project and maybe make a pledge or 2. This is a very cool project and would love to see it fully funded. Tell your friends and spread the word! 

Loot Pets Animation Unboxing

Loot Pets Animation Unboxing! If you follow us on instagram you would see a special doggy unboxing this crate. See below for unboxing pictures:

Wondercon 2017 Recap

Wondercon 2017 was back at the Anaheim Convention Center this year. Obviously, we would have loved it if Wondercon came back to San Francisco, but definitely glad to see them back at the Anaheim Convention Center. It was probably less than 2 weeks before Wondercon and we were still debating if we should cover the show this year. We already had plans to come down to So Cal so we were able to squeeze in some time to cover Wondercon.
