Funko Announces Upcoming NFT Funko POP Tokens
✖
Funko is getting into the NFT game with Funko POP! tokens. The company announced that it had acquired a majority stake in TokenWave. That app allows users to purchase Non-Fungible Tokens and sell them. So, Funko will be giving customers the chance to buy rare POPs with NFTs included. The first run of tokens hits the market in June for $10. Every week from then, there will be a new token released. As opposed to some of the recent NFT fervor, you can actually use the tokens to redeem for rare figures in the real world. However, this will probably have some unforeseen effects on the resale market. NFTs themselves have become a source of obsession on social media and the Internet at large. For those of you keeping track at home, we’re at the second big economic rush of this year after the GameStop stock hysteria.
Snyder Cut Justice League Funko Pop Figures Have Launched in Color
Earlier this month Funko and DC Comics teamed up for a set of exclusive Pop figures celebrating the release of Zack Snyder s Justice League on HBO Max. The Pops of Darkseid, Diana Prince, Black Suit Superman, and Dasaad were sold through the DC Shop with a black and white Justice is Gray metallic paint deco in both a 4-pack and as individual figures. Naturally, the release was a bit of a fiasco, but that won t be the case with the color variants that have just dropped.
As expected, Funko released versions of the Darkseid, Diana Prince, Black Suit Superman, and Dasaad Snyder Cut Justice League Funko Pops in full color. What s more, they ve added a Pop figure of Darkseid on the throne to the collection. All of these figures are common releases, and can be pre-ordered here at Entertainment Earth now.
