You replied too quick ;P I updated the post hehe

 

In addition to what it says about them releasing at 6am I'd recommend following an account like @disfunko on Twitter because a lot of them time they end up going up randomly the night before around 6pm PST

 

Talk about awesome! Hopefully Grimlock is a retail exclusive, but I’ve been able to get some POP store exclusives pretty easily here lately, other than Nemesis Prime.

 

I do not do social media mostly - one of the great evil's of humanity is the false god known as social media. But I will keep an eye out. Thanks

 

I would like a volcanicus funko pop

 

Love it - can't wait to add to my collection.

 

But does it transform though?

 

Oh man... hope this becomes a regular retail exclusive. 

 

It won’t

 

I'm way, way not a fan of Funko pops, but when the characters have a visor like Grimlock here (and the jazz they did) instead of the stupid "dead eyes" that is their overall style, I think they look about 1000x better. He also looks like he's got a really nicely appropriate level of sculpted detailing. And he's even got a sword!
(I actually wish SS86 Grimlock's shins looked more like this instead of the stupid rectanglur blobs of solid color paint)

 

Don't be a downer, I've gotten multiple Funko exclusives at retail.

 

For the sake of my wallet I hope they’re not doing full Seeker or Dinobot teams. I can live without Metallic Prime and Nemesis, but I might need this and Jetfire. There’s hope for Grimlock but Jetfire’s going to cost me. Already have the rest luckily.

I honestly hope that they do BW’s right after this so I can go back to my regular scheduled programming. But I’d forgive them a Shockwave.

 

MORE exclusives please.

Ain't modern collecting fun?

 

Me Grimlock consoom!

 

Kinda sucks that the article stating how to obtain this cool Funko Pop came up 2 days after the cutoff for registration to be eligible to enter the raffle for said Pop.

 

 

After they don't meet the sells quota, you will find them in a landfill near Everett, WA.

 

I wish Funko Pop! would just go away.

 

For all the insta nay sayers and whatnot. Grimlock will be a Gamestop shared exclusive so easy pickings if you want it.

 

Windblade Funko Pop when?!?
