It’s that time again, legion of toy lovers; The Wednesday update for the Funko toy exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2015.
Well known for their super popular POP! Toy collection, Funko strives to “cover as many beloved licenses and characters as possible to remind every Comic-Con attendee why they fell in love with these stories in the first place.” As a reminder, there will be no pre-buy option available this year. So if you need or want any of these beauties, best to pick them up at the Funko booth, or see if you can bribe a random person (we do not condone the practice of bribery).
Not to hold out any longer, here are the latest additions:

Pop! Star Wars: Princess Leia [Boushh Unmasked]
Though not one of her better remembered ensemble, this
Star Wars Princess Leia [Boushh Unmasked] POP! is still pretty fetching. You’ll wish this bounty hunter was looking for you.
Pop! Marvel: Avengers: Age of Ultron – Grinning Ultron
Just when you thought you saw every scary robot to date, this Grinning Ultron decidedly takes the cake. We don’t know why he’s so happy, but let’s hope we never find out. He’s sure to give a few nightmares.
Pop! Hanna-Barbera: Lil’ Gruesome (Red)
Before we know it, we’ll have an army of these Lil’ Gruesome figurines in a rainbow of colors. Joining his green and yellow brothers, this Red Hannah-Barbera character is my favorite so far.
Pop! Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy – Nova Rocket with Potted Groot
At the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, did you find yourself a little misty eyed? No? Just me? Well… I’m sure this Nova Rocket with Potted Groot will find a way to tug at those heartstrings.
ReAction: Terminator 2 – T1000 with Hook Arms
Any machine that can become liquid, a solid, or take the shape of any person is pretty sweet. This T1000 figure from the Terminator 2 movie is sporting his kick-butt Hook Arms, as well as vintage-esque packaging from when toys were simpler than the crazy articulated ones of today.
Vinyl Idolz: Ghostbusters – Marshmallowed Egon Spengler
And lastly, this Vinyl Idolz from the Ghost Busters movie is a gooey exclusive. Marshmallowed Egon Spengler comes with his ghost containment pack, ghost detector, and white marshmallow splotches. I hope that stuff can come out in the wash.
As we’re getting closer and closer to San Diego Comic-Con, expect a few more toy leaks on the way. Stay tuned doers of all things nerdy!

Speaking as a lifelong Micronauts fan, I have to ask, WHAT CARTOON? What the hell is Scott even talking about?
Micronauts never once had a cartoon, it was from before the boom of Reagan-era toy-cartoon tie-ins. It had a comic adaptation with Marvel and that was it. The Japanese Microman line it was based on got a reboot in 1999 and an anime then, but neither ever made it to Western shores.
