Attention Funko fanatics and t-shirt collectors: Funko Airways is about to take off, and trust us—you don’t want to miss this flight! If you’re a veteran at New York Comic Con (NYCC), you already know Funko loves to surprise its fans with exclusive drops that get our Funko-loving hearts racing. This year’s show-stopper? The NYCC 2024 Funko Airways T-shirt, an exclusive Pop Tee that’s as stylish as it is fun.
So, what’s the deal with Funko Airways? Let’s break it down for you, while you prepare your wallets (and your closet) for this high-flying addition.
What Is Funko Airways?
Funko always knows how to mix a dash of fun with a whole lot of nostalgia, and Funko Airways is no exception. Funko Airways is a faux airline that was first introduced as a part of their frequent flyer campaign. Imagine if your favorite Funko Pops could hop on a plane and jet-set around the globe. Funko Airways embodies that vibe perfectly: a quirky, retro airline aesthetic that makes you want to pack your bags and hit the skies with Freddy Funko himself.
The Funko Airways design oozes vintage airline charm, featuring Freddy Funko as the perfect co-pilot, plus that iconic Funko Pop logo front and center, bringing together style and collector appeal in one neat package. It’s like you’re part of an elite club, but instead of frequent flyer miles, you’re scoring Funko swag!
When and Where to Buy the NYCC 2024 Funko Airways T-shirt
Okay, let’s get down to the juicy details—how can you snag one of these shirts? As with all NYCC exclusives, it’s gonna take a bit of strategy and maybe a lucky roll of the dice (or a speedy click of the mouse). Here’s what you need to know:
- Where: You can grab the Funko Airways Pop Tee directly at the Funko booth inside NYCC 2024. Yes, it’s an on-site exclusive, so if you’re planning to attend, you’ll want to hit the booth early before they’re gone faster than a Funko lottery spot.
- When: NYCC runs from October 10th to October 13th, 2024 at the Javits Center, and the Funko booth is likely to be a hotbed of activity as usual. Get your plan together—Funko exclusives tend to disappear faster than you can say, “Oh my Funko!”
- Price: Expect typical Pop Tee pricing. If previous NYCC releases are any indicator, you’ll be looking at around $25 to $30 for this piece of Pop culture gold. Totally worth it for collectors who love flaunting their fandom with a touch of style.
For those not able to make it to the con—don’t hit panic mode just yet. There’s a decent chance this shirt might hit Funko’s online store after NYCC wraps up. Keep your eyes peeled on Funko’s official site or their social media for any surprise drops.
Why This Tee is a Must-Have for Collectors
Funko’s NYCC exclusives always carry a certain aura—whether it’s a rare Pop or a collectible tee, these items tend to become sought-after gems for fans. The Funko Airways T-shirt is no different. Besides rocking a limited-edition tee, you’ll have a piece of Funko history on your hands (or, well, your chest). The fun, retro vibe means this isn’t just a shirt you’ll wear to cons; it’s something you’ll want to wear all the time because, let’s face it, repping Funko is a lifestyle, right?
Plus, it’s not just about the exclusivity—it’s about the story behind the shirt. Funko Airways feels like a nod to the pop culture jet-setters among us—those who collect Funko Pops from around the world, and aren’t afraid to show it. And if you’re anything like the rest of us, you’ll want to show off that collector’s pride with this snazzy shirt.
Just remember: If you’re going to fly with Funko, be prepared for turbulence… because these exclusives are going to be gone fast.
