ECCC 2019: Funko Unveils Incredible Collectible Lineup for Emerald City Comic Con

A look at Funko’s exclusive ECCC 2019 collectibles

This week is Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC). Running Thursday, March 14 to Sunday, March 17 in Seattle, Washington, it’s the largest comic and pop culture show in the Pacific Northwest. It’s the first major convention of the year and will likely surpass six-digit attendance numbers this year. Washington also happens to be the home of Funko.

Unsurprisingly, the Funko marketing crew is psyched to promote the brand locally. In addition to the now traditional live-recording of the Funko Funkast podcast at the con, they’re using the home advantage to host a kickoff party at the Funko headquarters in Everett, WA on the Wednesday before the con begins. Both events promise fun opportunities to interact with the Funko team, who are essentially the face of the company alongside CEO Brian Mariotti, as well as awesome prizes. The company’s motto states, “Come for the toys, stay for the people,” so what are this year’s exclusive ECCC collectibles?

    While there’s always been movies, TV shows and animation to bring popular comic book heroes like Superman, Batman and The X-Men to the screen, there’s also been a reluctance to give the same attention to lesser known properties.

  • Oscar shorts showcase celebrating 10 years with extra screens

    If there’s one program about which Academy Awards audiences tend to feel uninformed, it’s the short film categories. Occasionally the movie is made available online or in the case of Disney/Pixar, it can be seen in theatres before their latest feature film. But that still leaves the majority of the 15 nominees with a tick in the “haven’t seen it” column. Those who are serious about their Oscar pools often feel at a loss when choosing the winner, relying on the buzz or best sounding synopsis to make their choice. In recent years, there’s been effort to erase this blind spot by providing theatrical screenings of the shorts collections prior to the ceremony. This year, the world’s only short movie channel, ShortsHD, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its famed Oscar shorts release by expanding to a record 450+ theatres across the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America.
