Funko released their Q4 2020 earnings report yesterday. Net sales for the full year are down compared to 2019 for apparent reasons, however, Q4 earnings were up year over year. Also, sales for Funko Pops grew in 2020 by 1% worldwide and 12% in the US. Funko’s domestic US sales were the strongest yet, however the pandemic did affect global sales. But let’s not dwell on the numbers too much. More interesting is what Funko’s bestsellers were. Contrary to many other toy companies Funko do provide a detailed breakdown of their top selling licenses in their earnings presentation. And here it is more good news for Star Wars toy sales!

After years of growth Funko reported a relatively weak 1st quarter of 2020. Net sales are down 18% compared to Q1/2019 and Funko reported a loss of $5.7 million for the first quarter.

But Funko’s earnings report also has a few tidbits about Star Wars that are quite interesting! And there is also some news about Hasbro’s Star Wars toyline, and it’s all positive!

It’s hard to believe, but San Diego Comic-Con is right around the corner. Before it begins, we wanted you to weigh in on your speculation of what licensees, specifically Hasbro, will reveal this year at the show. We’ve been hinted since Toy Fair that 2019 will be a year like no other in a very long time, post the Golden Age of Collecting. But will those rumors be revealed to be true? Anyway, let us know what expectations you have for The Vintage Collection, The Black Series 6″ line, vehicles, multipacks, and stuff from other licensees in our comments.

Is this how the 40th anniversary celebration dies? With thunderous lackluster products? It’s hard to believe we’re already beyond the first week in November and that we’re just moments from reaching the holiday season once again. What’s more difficult to believe than this is what we received in the form of Star Wars merchandise to celebrate the monumental and once in a lifetime celebration of the 40th anniversary of Star Wars. (more….)

Hasbro! Do you see these? Please make them for us in 3.5″ SA scale? Funko knows what market is buying their stuff, so should you! Here are official PRESS RELEASE images for the the four exclusive Movie Moments sets coming from Funko.

This November, may the Funko be with you. As we march closer to The Last Jedi premiere, Walmart is helping Star Wars fans relive some of the most memorable scenes from the original trilogy through a new line of four exclusive Funko Star Wars Movie Moments collectible toys. The exclusives include:

• Cantina Faceoff: Han Solo is confronted at gunpoint by Greedo
• Death Star Duel: Obi-Wan Kenobi faces his friend turned foe Darth Vader
• Escape Pod Landing in Tatooine: R2-D2 and C-3PO escape the Empire to share Princess Leia’s message with Obi-Wan
• Trash Compactor Escape: Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia fight a smelly dianoga in the depths of the Death Star

These movie moments are exclusive to Walmart and will start to hit store shelves and Walmart.com in early November – retailing for $24.82.

I had nearly forgotten about these Walmart Exclusive 40th Anniversary Funko Pop sets that we reported on previously in June, but JTA reader Justin sends us his find at his local walmart. After doing some digging, I found that these have just hit a few stores near me in NJ as well. Might be time to hit your Walmart if you’re a Pop fan! (or Ewok fan!). They are out of stock online, but here is the Ewok Set and Bespin Set in case you want to keep track!

Walmart Exclusive Resistance BB Unit Pop is in stock. It doesn’t have a picture up, but it’s only $6.25! Grab it while you can! They also have all the other TLJ Pop for less than $9.

If you’re a fan of Pop!’s, then you probably will want to get your hands on this TIE Fighter with TIE Pilot. Just like the Target Exclusive Darth Vader with TIE, this TIE Fighter sits on the dome of the Death Star. It’s also on sale for $23.19 at Things From Another World!
