Funko ReAction Figures at Walmart!
Now this is pretty damned exciting. Walking through Walmart I encountered this display of Funko’s ReAction Figures (Amazon.com search*) and again had to really respect the work Funko puts into their sales and marketing efforts. Who would have ever expected to see Kenner-style Alien, Rocketeer, and Firefly action figures at Walmart?
Please, please, please let these sell amazingly well. We need Funko’s ReAction Figures line to be a massive hit so that they’ll create a few vehicles for our shelves. And I really want to see them tackle a Star Wars license. What? You don’t remember my wish for Star Wars ReAction Figures? Well check these two posts from January of this year:
They were doing fairly well at the Walmart I worked at until just recently. They seem to be the most popular items on the Funko display upfront after the blind box POP minifigures.
The Game of Thrones figures haven’t seemed to sell at all though.
I’ve seen some at Target and Toys R Us too. But I have yet to see The Rocketeer at retail! That’s the one I’m holding out for.
@BubbaShelby – I need to get into those two stores to see how the displays look. I cannot believe it has been weeks since I gone into a Target; I blame the travel.
pretty cool. i’ve held off picking any up, but i might have to get me an alien.
@prfkttear – The Alien is a great first choice. But it’s not our fault when you start buying more.
